#Muse: Cure Tiramisu

[precurelegends]

Bears and Butterflies(merveiilles)

Sorashido had seen its fair share of monsters, so when a mechanical monster that looked like a train conductor appeared, many of the citizens ran for cover, knowing that the Hirogaru Sky Pretty Cure will protect them. However, the first to challenge the monster isn't Sky, Prism, or Wing. Instead, the monster is confronted by a tall girl in a bear-themed dress that resembles an upturned trifle dish full of tiramisu. She catches a punch from the monster and spins him around. "You guys don't belong in this town. You're too far away from the heroes that are supposed to kick your butts. Well, I'm going to make you regret it, when I beat you with my Bear Hands!"

The girl delivers a punch with enough force to create a miniature sonic boom, and the monster is pushed back forty feet. But that push back puts him close to a certain someone's car...

🌲 How deeply does your OC feel? Are they typically empathetic or do they have a hard time connecting with others in this way? What are they like when offering support and comfort to someone they care for?

Jean-Paul feels and feels deeply, even if they insist that the very idea is completely absurd and not at all fashionable. It’s just that a lot of their emotions are felt at the same level of emotional intensity when they really could afford to chill out a little. Someone got something slightly wrong with their venti honey almond milk coldbrew but with coconut milk instead of almond, light ice to make room for more coffee, heavy whipped cream, mocha drizzle, a dusting of cinnamon powder, a shot of espresso, two extra shots of honey syrup to mask the task of espresso, a little brown sugar syrup in case the honey isn’t sweet enough, and a little cup of ice on the side to add in when they’re halfway done with the drink? They will dramatically lounge on their bed (it’s mostly used for dramatically lounging, sometimes used when interesting visitors are over, and never used to sleep in) softly crying at the injustice of the world because why does the universe hate it when he enjoys himself? Is he not allowed to have nice things? How could this happen to him? If you’re slightly more successful in life than him and you show up at the same party as him with a nicer outfit that he wants, JP will carry a grudge for years or until he decides that he hates someone more, actually. Is she over-dramatic and often whiny? Yes, absolutely. JP would probably benefit a lot from a therapist that deals specifically with aliens but he’s not going to do that because he’s pretty sure they sell your personal information to regulators.

As for empathy, JP’s more empathetic now than they used to be, though they will sell some dumbass Goop shit to extremely rich humans and they won’t feel sorry about that one bit. Outside of that, they almost never scam people anymore! They haven’t done a breaking and entering in years! They care about people and society as an abstract whole (maybe not vampires though) and they care very, very deeply about a few select people, but they have a hard time relating to most people on an individual level. Other aliens freaked him out for a long time because many organisms consume others to live, whether animals or plants, but they had an epiphany when they came to Earth: aliens can be fun and hot, actually. Caring about people beyond a superficial level came a little later after that.

When you unlock Level Five Emotional Intimacy with JP, you suddenly have a small dog showering you with countless gifts and getting distressed because they’re worried they aren’t giving you enough. They know they can’t solve most of your issues in life by giving you crystal brandy glasses but damn it, they know it solves the issue of you not having crystal brandy glasses. You’re getting little tea sandwiches because they know they feel better with snacks and their cooking ability doesn’t extend beyond little sandwiches. Do you want a tiny, bony man/cute girl/pink space dog hanging off of you? You’re getting it. If your problems in life can be cured by JP punching someone, they’ll do it. They’ll absolutely do it.

🌸 What are some of their favourite things and why? List as many as you can think of!

A list of their favorite things:

Their boyfriend: patient, kind, intelligent, capable of picking him up and hauling him around like he weighs absolutely nothing.

Bears: see above.

Dating apps because everything is so much more efficient now than in the 80s. JP probably wouldn’t call himself polyamorous because they’re of the firm belief that you should never think about the nature of things too hard, so instead it’s a fun and interesting side hobby.

Fashion week because they long to be the muse of a famous fashion designer.

Champagne gummy bears, rose milk boba tea, fancy little fruit tarts, lemon cookies, toffee of any kind, tiramisu, tea mixed with a spoonful of jam, most wine but especially rosé, a spoon full of peanut butter, bread pudding, apple pudding, butterscotch pudding, rice pudding, vanilla pudding, croissants, little sandwiches full of whipped cream and strawberries, yogurt pretzels, and candied oranges because of vaporvolph reasons. Alternatively, you could fill up a cup with Cool Whip and he’ll stick his entire doggy head into it and then run around in distress because his head’s stuck in a mug until he realizes that he can simply phase through it.

Cosmopolitan magazine, unfortunately.

Online quizzes because yes, he does want to know what type of vacation he’ll enjoy based off of what desserts he picks. That’s important.

Any place that sells handbags that cost more than some cars because JP wants to win at being human and luxury plans fall under that for them.

Normalcy(?)

Yuuna offered a smile to the little child who wore a cute reindeer costume, complete with the red button nose which she assumed was a reference to little Rudolf. It was Christmas Eve and she was looking forward to spending it inside her little apartment. She thought she could just buy something to eat for the holiday after work. Or maybe take something home from her bakery and share it with her roommate.

"Miss! We've come to pick up the Black Forest Cake," a sweet woman with pink streaks on her hair placed her payment on the counter.

"In a second, mam." Yuuna walked back with a handful of cake. Then bell rang once more, followed by another set of customers. 

"Quite busy in the holidays, yeah?"

Yuuna slid the receipt and change while waving at the others, "It is no trouble, really." She smiled. 

The woman stood aside, leaving "Please have yourself a merry Christmas, a sweet young lady such as yourself deserves one." 

"Thank you," Yuuna tucked a stray hair behind her ear before facing the following patron. The bakery would be busy, she guessed, but it would be worth bringing the Christmas spirit. 

— 

Yuuna huffed, small wisps of her breathe made known in the form of white puffs against the air. Her braided hair was in disarray. Yuuna thanked she decided to sport this outfit to battle the cold weather. Her clothing incorporated a crimson turtle neck long-sleeved tucked below a gray coat; a tartan a-line skirt with a black cotton stockings and a pair of Chelsea boots to match. 

It was half past eleven and she didn't bother to stop and buy any last minute decorations to lighten up their apartment. Goodness, how about her roommate?—She wasn't able to buy him a gift! What would Takahiro think of her now?! 

"Oh, Setsuna-san, fancy seeing you this late," her close friend, Usagi greeted her. Yuuna returned her a smile still recovering from her stupor. 

It was no wonder why the red-head was out during this time of the year. Usagi is a manager of her family's resort and Takahiro's sister. And that was enough for her to be reminded that she was out of his league, other than the fact Takahiro was a Kuroyama. 

That family is a prestigious clan. They hailed every industry and could take over the world in any minute now. No joke. It scares the life out of her that she just happened to fall for one of their people.

Her conscious is right, it's impossible that Takahiro's back in the apartment. He must be spending Christmas with their family and his sister must be coming home late. 

"...well, I wouldn't want to keep you for Christmas." Usagi turned to her side, pulling her jacket over. "Don't let your family wait. Merry Christmas!" 

Yuuna gripped the strap of her bag, catching Usagi's glance and the twinkle from the clover-clip that adorned her hair. "Please greet your whole family the happiest of holidays, Kuroyama-san," 

Guess she'll be spending Christmas alone.

—

Now, Yuuna stood on the porch: came from a long day from work. It was Christmas Eve and now she was staring at the door, contemplating whether she'll go inside or not. Her roommate must be away, and she would be greeted by their pet fish.

Yuuna swiped the key-card and pushed the knob. Her eyes traced to a familiar figure. 

He modeled a white polo under a slate-grey Fair Isle sweater folded into three-fourths; a pair of grey-washed denim and leather casual boots combo. Realization hit her. He's here. On Christmas. Decorating the apartment—their apartment! 

Takahiro fumbled on the decoration, "Yuuna!—umm, Merry Christmas!"  He watched her blink rapidly, absorbing his work. She still looked pretty with the red tint on her cheeks, he mused. 

"I—um—wow! You decorated the apartment—it's stunning!" Yuuna rushed in and kicked off her shoes. Her bag she placed on the coffee table now near the Tree. 

"You were brooding, yes?" Takahiro said, climbing down the ladder and plugging the lights in. Yuuna stood next to him cautiously

Yuuna scoffed, "Me? Brooding on the holidays?" 

"Writer's instinct." He stated, "So you ran to my sister? She told you looked under the weather."

"Do—"

"Yes you do—And I know what can help." 

The brunette giggled and pivoted on the balls of her feet. Shaking her head while she picked up the fallen decoration. Yuuna glanced back, lips pursed, "And that would be?" 

"A little lift!" 

"Takahiro! Put me down!" Yuuna squeezed her eyes shut as he lifted her off the ground: locking his arm at the back of her knees, the other on her back. He chortles, "We're placing the star on the top, Yuuna," 

She paused and lowered her gaze to him with lavender eyes. Takahiro stared back, his face nonchalant. So she did what was told: placed the decor above the tree. Then he didn't respond, no comment whatsoever. Perhaps she did it wrong? "Umm, Takahiro?"

"Yes?" 

"Don't you have any other business?" Yuuna inquired. She couldn't help but ask.

It was true, Takahiro is a busy man, she usually see him by the coffee table typing for his newest drama or perhaps another romance novel. And fortunate for her, he was kind enough to let her read his work, especially now that he knew that she fancied Takahiro's writing. During those moments, Yuuna usually snuck out treats and freshly brewed beverages for him, mostly when he had troubles—he liked to refer it as 'writer's block'—to keep him in pace. The rest was history, they're good friends and as solid as diamonds. 

Takahiro drew in a long breathe, "It's Christmas, would you want me to have other business? Or let me spend it with you?" 

"You and your romantic advances," Yuuna send a playful jab on his shoulder, "stop using it if you don't want someone falling for you, Takahiro." 

He laughed, placing Yuuna gently back on hard ground. Takahiro adjusted his glasses and threw a nervous glance on her direction. 

She looked splendid without even trying. He couldn't deny that the brunette is a beautiful person inside and out, she's easy to get along with and he just want to know her better and return the favor. It was one of the many reasons he cleared his schedule to decorate the apartment just for her.

"Well? I brought some Tiramisu," Yuuna tugged at his hand. 

"You baked it?"

"Mhm, and it might just cure your cheesiness," 

"Ha-ha." 

She took a slice, tucked a hair on the shell of her ear, and finally, raised her chin, "Prove me wrong then," 

Well, Takahiro didn't plan to disappoint.  

I must have used tons of exclamations marks along the way haha

[precurelegends]

A Super Friendship (Pompedia)

Cure Tiramisu takes careful stock of the situation. Ahead of her is someone she had hoped to meet. A blonde-haired woman in red and blue, standing for truth and justice. Supergirl. It's hard to keep her inner fangirl at bay.

Ahead of Supergirl however, are a large cluster of heavily-armed, winged demons of some kind. Even from how far away she is, she can feel that malice. While Supergirl can likely handle all twenty or twenty-five of them, why should she have to? She takes a step forward and calls to Supergirl. "How about I take the ones on the left and you take the ones on the right?" Should Supergirl look at her, the Kryptonian will see an eighteen year-old girl, who is very muscular and athletically built, wearing a fancy dress that evokes the image of an upturned trifle dish, a hairpiece and gloves that look like the head and claws of a brown bear. "I promise you, I'm strong enough to take them with my bear hands!" She brandishes her claws and waits for Supergirl to give her the go ahead to join the fray.

[precurelegends]

Forging a Relationship (Open Magical Girl RP)

Aya Higumi smiles as she offers the other person another slice of homemade chocolate cream pie. "So, this woman dressed like a secretary shows up at my family's house, and says 'My employer, Kousei Kougami, is interested in commissioning an item from Miss Aya.' At this point, I had been forging steel for half as long as I had been baking, so I wasn't sure I had it in me. But then I saw the amount he was willing to pay and I jumped at the chance." She takes a sip from her coffee before continuing. "Three days later, I had crafted what has to be a one-of-a-kind piece. A two hundred layer damascus steel...cake slicer." Aya takes out a picture showing the Kougami CEO slicing into a four-tiered cake with the tool she had made for him. "He baked and decorated that cake himself, and he loves doing it on a daily basis. Apparently, one of his secretary's daily jobs is to eat the cakes he bakes. Can you believe that?"

[precurelegends]

Well-Forged Friendship (Open Pretty Cure RP)

Aya Higumi is in the backyard of her house, working on a new project. Every so often, there's a roar of flames and the clang of steel on steel. Then there's another sound, of screaming hot metal being plunged into liquid and steam escaping. With a satisfied grunt, Aya walks around the corner to see a friend. She's wearing an apron, but this is much heavier than any apron worn by a patissiere and the amount of sweat on her brow and arms suggests she's been working with something much hotter than a normal oven. "Oh, hello! I was just finishing up something. Want to come take a look at it?" She definitely seems happy to show this off, whatever it is.

[precurelegends]

A Distant Whistling( Pretty Cure RP)

It starts as a distant whistling sound, which gets louder and closer. Then, up above, the source of the sound can be seen. Cure Tiramisu is falling from the stratosphere, with what appears to be a Super Sentai enemy minion in her grasp. His head rests at an angle on her shoulder, and she's holding his legs out in front of his body. She comes down in the middle of the park, landing with enough impact to cause a ten foot-wide crater to appear. This crater will vanish once she has had time to cleanse the area with her power. But what won't be cleansed is the obvious pain the enemy minion is in from the impact.

"And that my "good" minion, is the Kinniku Buster!" She drops the now whimpering enemy on the ground and stands up, no worse for the wear. She dusts off her hands and looks around the area. "Huh, I've got to be at least a mile from where I started."

Seeing a fellow Pretty Cure, she smiles and gives them a thumbs-up. "Hope you enjoyed the show!"

[precurelegends]

The Best You Can Do? (Open RP)

Cure Tiramisu holds back the fist of the pirahna kaijin without much effort. "I don't understand you guys. Seriously, you just watched me slam the other guy through a reinforced concrete wall and your best idea was to punch me?" Slowly, she pulls the monster's arm down and her free hand begins to glow. "I'm going to give you a chance to cut your losses. Turn around, and leave my town. But if I see any of you Shocker people in this town again, then the next thing you're going to see is the curvature of the Earth. Do I make myself clear?" The Pirahna nods and she lets go, allowing him to run out of the city limits. She turns to the wall which is still full of a whimpering kaijin. "You, on the other hand, I'm going to heal." She builds up her magic and sends it through the buffalo's body, knitting all the bones she just broke. As the last light fades, a now very confused, and very remorseful kaijin slumps down to the ground.

"Take your time. You've been through a lot, and Shocker probably treated you a lot worse than I did. Let me give you the number for a kaijin recovery group, okay?" The overwhelming strength she had just shown is now replaced with kindness, as she crouches down next to him.

She looks up at the person watching that fight. "Well, what did you think of that?"

[precurelegends]

Chef Hacks (Open RP)

“So they took the batter for okonomiyaki, and rather than try to make sure it cooks evenly, and flips safely, they instead put the batter into a waffle iron. It’s not traditional, but I can see it working if you wanted to make it at home.” Higumi Aya is talking about a video from one of her favorite cooking channels. “I wonder what other recipes you could use a waffle iron for?”

[precurelegends]

Culinary Crossroads (rosecoloredmuses)

Higumi Aya is walking slowly to keep pace with her tiny teammate, Himari as they enter this new place, Oishiina Town. While they walk, Aya’s talking about a cooking channel she found online. “Well, he doesn’t do many things in the way of sweets. But it’s always an experiment with him. He’ll cook up a control dish, then offer other dishes cooked in unusual ways. I figure since you’re into the science of cooking, you might appreciate his videos. I’ll send you a link to his channel after this trip.” Aya stops, and sniffs at the air. “Wow, there’s so many restaurants in this town. It’s kind of like all the bakeries back home, but more savory. Where do you want to try first, Himari? My treat.”

[precurelegends]

“I’ll Beat You With My Bear Hands” (pompedia)

The monster fighting Cure Yell turns as it hears the phrase spoken above, to see another Pretty Cure, much taller than Cure Yell, in an outfit that looks like an upturned trifle dish. The gloves on her hands resemble the claws of a bear, and the matching earpieces suggest that the newcomer might belong to KiraKira Pretty Cure Ala Mode.

“Mind if I step in, Cure Yell?” Cure Tiramisu smiles down at her. “Cure Tiramisu, at your service.”

[precurelegends]

Blue Diamond Bear (hopefull-heroes)

It hadn’t been a message about a date, but Aya was still happy to receive the message from Juuru. And the fact that he started it off by saying “I’ve got something at the tower for you” just made her curious.

She walks through the Kirameiger’s base, almost floating on air at the expectation of seeing Juuru again. When she finally arrives at the command post, she sees another girl leaving the room, a girl with a very sparkly gemstone-like complexion. It almost looks like she’s been crying.

“Juuru? Is that one of your teammates?” Aya calls to him. “Why was she crying?”

[precurelegends]

(I photoshopped the Super Gekiranger Grip to represent the weapons that Juuru made for Aya. The only difference is that her Kiramei Claws have a sheath of the blue diamond material that goes up to her elbow.

Since Aya is more likely to be on the front lines, punching various minions of Super Sentai and Kamen Rider enemies, this weapon makes sense for her. Now she just needs to find a way to attune the Kiramei Claws so she can channel her Kirakirau through them.)

[precurelegends]

(Headcanon: Tiramisu’s Many Skills)

(Here’s a list of the things Aya can do without being in her costume. Just in case your muse sees her down in the dumps and feeling like she can’t do anything.

Strength

1) Aya can lift 350 pounds.

2) Aya has participated in tractor pulls. She can drag a piece of farm equipment fifty yards in twenty seconds.

3) Aya has punched through five sheets of half-inch thick ice with her off-hand.

4) To make her little brother smile, she once juggled three ten-pound bowling balls.

Stamina:

1) Aya is a track and field star at her highschool. The only person who’s ever beaten her more than once is Sena Hayami, AKA KirameiGreen.

2) She, like most members her family, can run a marathon. She’s never won one, but she’s always been in the top thirty.

3) A “light” workout for Aya consists of fifty pushups, fifty situps, and thirty reps on her family’s salmon ladder.

Cooking:

1) Aya can bake a souffle without it falling over.

2) Aya can operate both a mechanical and a shaking ice cream maker. She enjoys the second one, just because of all the activity involved.

Dexterity:

1) Aya is training in swordsmanship

2) Aya can cut and shuffle a deck of cards with one hand.)

[precurelegends]

Another cooking show (Open RP)

Aya explains the cooking show she just saw to her friend. “So, normally, each of these four or five chefs has only ten to fifteen minutes in the kitchen to prep food. Then they have to leave context clues for the next chef about what they were working on. Imagine doing that with our friends who love to cook.”
