City Lights | Wong Yukhei (Lucas)

Pairing: Wong Yukhei (Lucas) x Reader

Summary: Being a single mother isn’t doing wonders for your dating life. That is, until you meet your gorgeous neighbour Lucas. You try to stay away, but it's getting harder to resist his charm. Will you be able to let a new man into your life?

Genre: Fluff, Angst, Suggestive

Word Count: 2.9k

The lights of Hong Kong glittered in the distance as you watched through the glass wall of your new apartment. It felt strange moving into a new city on your own, free from your ex-husband Yuta. Well, you weren’t really on your own; you had your two-year-old daughter, Nara.

You had to admit that getting pregnant at twenty-four and ending up a single mother wasn’t in your life plan, but two years down the line, things were working out alright.

“Mummy look!” Nara said, peering down at the twinkling cars below. “They’re funny, aren’t they?” you cooed in response.

You had nearly finished unpacking; you just had to bring one more box into your apartment. You walked out into the corridor, your red heels clicking on the marble floor. You hauled the box inside, leaving the front door ajar.

You spent the next few minutes sorting through the contents of the box. “Honey look, here’s the alphabet book you were looking for,” you called out. Hearing no response, you looked up from the box. Your daughter was nowhere to be seen. “Nara?” you called louder this time. Still no response.

You dashed out into the corridor, calling her name a few more times. There was only one other apartment on this floor, so she couldn’t have gone far. You hadn’t had the chance to meet the neighbours yet, and you prayed that they weren’t serial killers.

Then, you heard the unmistakable giggling of your daughter. You rushed around the corner to see Nara babbling away happily with a young man. He was crouched in front of her, with one knee on the ground smiling at the completely unfazed toddler.

“Nara!” you called out. Two smiling faces turned in your direction. “Mummy!” Nara squealed, running to you with arms outstretched. You picked her up her lovingly, finally able to relax.

You turned to the handsome stranger, your eyes widening as you scanned him from head to toe. Now that he was standing, he towered over you – he was easily over six foot tall. His skin was a gorgeous dark caramel, and you wondered if it would taste as good as it looked.

You noticed the man’s large brown eyes raking over your body, a smirk forming on his full lips. You didn’t really mind - you were used to men staring at you. But you’d never seen a man as handsome as the one who stood before you now.

You realise that neither of you had broken the silence, so you decided to step in. “Thanks for finding my daughter,” you said, smiling up at him.

“No problem,” he replied, his voice deep and velvety, “She’s an angel, wouldn’t want her getting lost.” Nara buried her face into your neck, her little hands toying with your necklace. You smiled back at the gorgeous man, admiring the dimples that formed on his face.

“I’m Lucas by the way. Welcome to the building,” he said.

“Thank you, I’m Y/n,” you said, “And this little one is Nara.”

“She’s beautiful…” he said, “just like her mother”. Lucas smirked, his dark eyes twinkling in the corridor lights. Your eyes went wide at his blatant flirting, a deep red blush tingeing your cheeks.

“Thanks. You’re… you’re not so bad yourself,” you replied, cringing slightly at your words. You were a bit rusty in the dating department; since Nara came along, you’d not dated much.

Lucas chucked, bringing his large hand up to cover his mouth. His eyes crinkled beautifully as he replied, “I know, right?”.

You and Lucas chatted for a few minutes, and you found yourself quickly growing comfortable in his presence. Then, out of the blue, he said “You should take my number”.

“Oh really, and why is that?” you said. Now it was your turn to smirk.

“It’s important to be friendly with your neighbours,” he replied.

“Oh, so you’re just being friendly?” you said, enjoying teasing the handsome man who stood before you.

“Of course!” he winked at you and flashed a dazzling smile. “I’d love to take you on a date sometime,” he continued.

“Bold of you to assume I’m single,” you said. Although your exterior was cool, you were melting on the inside.

“I mean, a gorgeous girl like you, I’m sure you’ve got loads of guys after you,” Lucas said. “But umm, the little one mentioned that the two of you lived alone. I just assumed!” he said, looking bashful and rubbing his large hand against the back of his neck.

“I am single…” you started “But I just moved here, and I need a bit of time to settle in.” You weren’t sure if you could let someone new in; now that you had Nara in your life, your priorities were different. Lucas’s face fell, and you found yourself regretting what you’d said.

“Wait…” you said, struck with a strong desire to see that gorgeous smile again. “If you really do want to go on a date, how about you ask me again in… in fifty days’ time?” you said, a blush creeping up your cheeks. Maybe by then, you’d have space in your life for Lucas.

Lucas smiled quizzically. He stepped closer to you and softly placed a hand on your arm, “Fifty days, you say?” he whispered, leaning in. “I’ll definitely be worth the wait”.

Lucas waved goodbye and left. You hadn’t expected a run-in with a handsome stranger on your first day in Hong Kong, but you’d be lying if you said you weren’t intrigued.

Over the next few weeks you bumped into Lucas everywhere: in the elevator, in the hallway, a couple times in the bakery across the street. Each time, Lucas would crack a flirty joke and flash you a smile that sent your head spinning.

You’d learnt quite a bit about Lucas. For example, you found out that he was twenty-three (three years younger than you, but as Lucas always said, when it comes to love, age doesn’t matter). You were realising that Lucas was not just a pretty face. But you had to admit, his face was very, very pretty.

-----50 days later-----

It was a breezy Saturday afternoon, and you were waiting for the elevator to go up to your apartment. You had your sleeping toddler in one arm, and bags of groceries in the other.

Unsurprisingly, Lucas was on your mind. Just as you were picturing his lips, you felt a hand touch your shoulder. You spun around to see the man himself.

Lucas was wearing black sweatpants and an Adidas T shirt with the sleeves rolled up, showing off his sculpted biceps. He had headphones around his neck, and the sheen of sweat that lightly coated his skin made him glisten.

“Hey gorgeous!” Lucas boomed, gesturing to carry your bags for you, which you gratefully accepted. “Do you know what day it is today?” he asked.

“Saturday?” you replied coyly. You knew exactly what day it was.

“Well yes,” Lucas replied, laughing slightly. “But more importantly…” he leaned in so he could whisper into your ear, “It’s been fifty days”.

Your heart fluttered at his closeness - you could actually feel the heat radiating off his body. “So, what do you say? Can we go on a date?” he asked, smirking slightly, like he knew the effect he had on you.

You smiled and beckoned him into the elevator. Lucas grinned cockily and followed you in. “I’d like that,” you said, after a pause. Lucas clasped his chest and let out a comically loud sigh. “Yes!” he exclaimed, “Name a place and time, princess, and I’ll be there”.

As the elevator ascended, the two of you agreed to cook dinner in your apartment next Saturday. You were secretly relieved you wouldn’t need to find a babysitter for Nara – she would be fast asleep in her room.

Over the next week, warm brown eyes invaded your dreams every night. You tried on countless date outfits, and Nara enjoyed the mini fashion show you put on for her. In the end, you settled for deep purple bodycon dress, black lace thigh-high socks and red lipstick that complimented the richness of your skin tone.

The evening of your date had finally arrived, and Nara was asleep in her bedroom, right next door to yours. She’d had some trouble sleeping through the night, but you prayed that this time she would.

As the clock struck eight, you heard a knock on the front door. You walked to the door and pulled it open, taking a second to look at the man standing before you.

Lucas was leaning on your door frame, checking you out with a satisfied smirk. The way he was dressed made it clear he knew what made him look good. He was wearing a blue velvet jacket with trousers to match. His shirt clung to his chest and highlighted the hard muscles that lay beneath, its stark white colour contrasting his golden skin. A black bow tie lay open carelessly around his neck and his dark hair was styled up. He looked absolutely gorgeous.

You noticed that Lucas was holding a punnet of strawberries and a can of whipped cream. You raised your brows quizzically as you let him inside. “Chocolates and flowers are too cliché, right?” he said. You chuckled as he set his gift down on the table and pulled you in for a hug. You sighed contently as you felt his strong arms wrap around you, revelling in his cinnamon musk and feeling very secure.

**************************

“Argh!” Lucas bellowed as he staggered around the kitchen, eyes watering. You stood watching him, one hand clutching your stomach in laughter. You had made sushi for dinner, and Lucas had boasted about how much wasabi he could eat. Let’s just say he was now paying the price.

You looked around frantically until you found something that could help. “Here, open your mouth!” you said, still laughing. You sprayed some whipped cream in his mouth. After a few more sprays, the fire in Lucas’ mouth had finally calmed down, and he was giggling too, his lips and chin now completely covered in cream.

“You saved me!” Lucas yelled. “Come here…” he said mischievously, placing one hand on your waist and the other on your chin, tilting your head up. Lucas puckered his cream covered lips and leaned towards to you.

You squealed and tried to wriggle away, but Lucas’ grip on you was firm. Plus, he was hard to resist, so you let his lips touch yours in a sugary kiss. You licked the cream that was now on your lips and smiled as he stepped back, his cheeks tinged red.

After the meal, the two of you moved to the couch. An empty bottle of wine sat on the table in front of you, the alcohol making your blood hot with desire. You were lying down with your head on the arm of the sofa and your legs draped over Lucas’s lap.

Lucas’s large hands rested lightly on your knees, and as you talked, you felt his fingers ghost the skin of your thigh. Each time he touched you, a warm buzz ran through your body.

After a while, you were done with talking – you just wanted his lips on you. And this time not just for a little kiss.

“Lucas…” you purred. You looked up to him and saw his eyes darken with understanding. As you were about to move onto his lap, Lucas held you in place with a strong hand on your shoulder. “Let me,” he whispered.

Lucas moved so that his legs were straddling your waist on the sofa. You reached your hand up to caress the back of his neck, pulling him in for a kiss. The feeling of Lucas’ soft lips on yours was dizzying. You drew him closer, deepening the kiss and revelling in the feeling of Lucas over you.

Soon, your kisses got rougher, and you could feel Lucas responding to the change in pace. You ran your fingers though his dark hair and tugged, eliciting a low moan from the boy.

“Let’s take this to the bedroom,” you said, softly pushing Lucas off you. He nodded eagerly. His cheeks were flushed, and his shirt ruffled. You held his hand and walked quietly past Nara’s room.

Softly shutting your bedroom door, you kissed Lucas again, your hands tangling in his hair. The weight of his body on yours had you stepping back until he pushed you onto the bed. You lay back, propping yourself up on your elbows as you admired the view in front of you.

Lucas stood at the foot of the bed, smirking as he slowly unbuttoned his shirt. He tossed his shirt to the floor, pulling off his bowtie in the process too. Your eyes traced down his abs, imagining what it would feel like to rake your nails down them.

Lucas climbed onto the bed, staring hungrily at you. You pulled him closer, intent on kissing him again, but he shook his head and stopped you before you could. “Take off your dress,” he said. You pouted slightly but obeyed, slowly easing the purple garment off your body.

As you began to pull down your socks, Lucas placed a hand on your thigh. “Leave them on,” he said with a sly grin. Lucas stroked the bare skin of your tummy, the rough pads of his fingers leaving a fiery trail from your navel, sneaking dangerously lower.

Just as his hand reached the lace of your underwear, you heard a wail from the next room. Your hand quickly clasped his and halted his actions. Urging Lucas to be quiet, you strained to listen more closely. “That sounds like Nara,” you said, the concern evident in your voice.

Lucas pushed your hand off his and continued to tug down your underwear. “Wait!” you said, grabbing his hand again, “She must be having a nightmare.”

“She’ll be fine, just forget about her…” Lucas said, paying no attention to the worry spreading across your face.

“Forget about her? Are you being serious?” you snapped, staring at him incredulously. Lucas stared back at you blankly, his large eyes wide.

You shoved Lucas off you and left the bed, the mood shattered. "You’re just gonna leave me like this?" he asked, which only made you more annoyed.

You pulled a dressing gown over your exposed body. You expected Lucas to be different, but you should have known better.

“Maybe you should just get out of here,” you mumbled, avoiding his gaze.

Without waiting for a response, you left the bedroom and walked into your daughter’s room. Nara was sat on the bed, tears rolling down her chubby cheeks. “It’s ok baby, it’s just a dream,” you said, wrapping your arms around her.

It took longer than expected to calm Nara down. You heard a door thud and assumed that Lucas had walked out. As Nara was drifting off, you began to regret what you had said. You had certain priorities as a mother, but how was Lucas meant to understand that? Maybe you had overreacted.

Around an hour had passed before Nara finally fell asleep, and you were sure Lucas had left by now. Not ready to face your empty bed, you went to the living room and stared out of the window down at the twinkling lights of your new city.

Lucas had been nothing but kind to you both these past fifty days, and the idea of not seeing that sweet smile again was more than you could bear.

Staring out into the night, you decided that Lucas deserved a second chance. You would make amends, starting with going over to his place first thing in the morning and talking everything over.

You rushed to your bedroom with a newfound resolve, eager to fall asleep, if it would make tomorrow come quicker. You opened your bedroom door and flicked the lights on. You gasped when you saw what was in front of you. Lucas was fast asleep on your bed. He had stayed!

Lucas’s long tan limbs were stretched out on the duvet, and faint snores escaped his lips. Your heart swelled at the sight. You quickly dimmed the lights, not wanting to startle him.

Lucas was starting to stir. “Babe?” he mumbled, rubbing his eyes, “How is Nara? Is she alright?” he sat up, concern creasing his brow.

“She’s alright,” you said softly, walking closer towards the bed.

“I’m so sorry for earlier, I don’t know what came over me, of course I care about Nara! I- I should probably go,” Lucas blurted out.

“It’s ok baby,” you said, moving to sit on Lucas’s lap, “I don’t want you to go”.

You placed a kiss on Lucas’s neck, closing your eyes as you felt his hands hold your hips. “It’s okay, I know you care,” you mumbled into his neck.

Lucas was fully awake now, and he placed soft kisses on your fingers. At the feeling of his strong thighs under you, a wave of lust washed over you.

You carefully placed one of your hands on his thigh and stroked his skin, eyes fixed on his face to read his mood. Lucas flexed his thigh under your touch, understanding your intentions.

“How about we finish what we started?” you whispered.

“Good idea,” Lucas said, as he pulled off your robe and pushed you down onto the bed.

A Gocup Christmas

I posted this over a year ago to my AO3 and Fanfiction accounts and wanted to post it here.

It was Christmas time in the city of San Fransokyo. People were stringing up lights, putting up their trees, and working to make everything just feel festive. And nowhere was that felt more than the San Fransokyo Institute of technology. The walls of the buildings were lined with blinking high tech environmentally friendly Christmas bulbs, and inside the middle of the quad a massive Christmas tree had been put up and covered in almost every kind of decoration the students could find. The small spray of snow falling from the sky decorated its branches with layers of white, further adding to its holiday display.

Inside the robotics lab, two students in particular where hard at work. One was a young woman with black hair with a purple streak in it and the other was a young man with scruffy wind whipped brown hair and a large nose. They were currently examining a bright yellow bike frame hanging from the ceiling.

"I think it's looking pretty good Gogo." Said the man as he admired the bike.

The woman examined the bike frame with extreme scrutiny. "Yeah, but so far all the practical tests I've done have been in the lab. I haven't managed to try it out on the open road, so I don't know how it'll perform." She looked over at the man. "Besides Hiccup, there is a big difference between something looking good and it actually working the way it should."

"I know, but what can you do? You'd need permission from the university to test out something like this outside of school, you know with their whole "Not letting students test their dangerous experiments outside campus" Policy." Hiccup shrugged. "Not much you can do."

Gogo sighed. "Yeah, guess I'll just have to figure it out after the holidays." Then she cleared her throat and nervously looked off to the side. "So um, Christmas is just two days away."

Hiccup smirked. "I gathered that from the twinkling lights and people wearing Santa hats."

"Yeah, and I was just wondering if maybe you wanted to do something tomorrow."

Hiccup frowned. "Like what?"

"I don't know. Go to dinner or see a flick or something" Gogo suggested, doing her best to look away from him.

Hiccup thought for a few seconds before regretfully saying. "I can't. I've got some Christmas shopping to do tomorrow." He turned away so she wouldn't notice the conflicted look on his face. In truth he'd be using the time to complete a special gift for her. He'd been working on it for weeks and it was almost done.

"Oh." Gogo said sullenly.

Hiccup frowned in concern. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, I just figured since that since this is our first Christmas together as a couple, we'd spend it, you know, together."

"Sorry, but I really put this off to the last minute." Hiccup said. "Besides, it's just Christmas Eve. As in, the day before. We can still go out and do something Christmas day."

"Yeah, yeah sure." She said, not quite managing to hide her disappointment.

Hiccup noticed her downtrodden expression. "What's the matter?"

Before she could answer, the door to the lab opened. They looked behind them and saw Fred, Wasabi, and Honey all wearing thick Christmas sweaters. Fred's was red, Honeys was pink, and Wasabi's was light green.

"Feliz navidad you two!" Honey said cheerfully. She ran over and pulled them into a tight hug.

"Merry Christmas Honey." Hiccup croaked out.

"Ribs….being…..crushed." Gogo groaned.

Honey let go and pulled on the sides of her sweater to better display the glittering periodic table on the front. "What do you think? I made them for everyone!"

Fred walked over and lovingly rubbed the front of his sweater,which bore the image of a giant blue and orange kaiju breathing flames onto a city. "Honey you are amazing. I have never wanted a piece of fabric to touch my body as much as this one."

Wasabi simply hid his face in his hands and mumbled something about "being roped into this", his other hand trying to cover the red atom on his sweater.

Hiccup stared at them, dumbfounded, while Gogo stood there with an eyebrow raised in surprise.

"Wow, those are really…..something Honey." Hiccup said, feigning enthusiasm.

"I'm so glad you think so, because I made some for you guys too!" Honey whipped out two more sweaters from her purse. One was bright yellow with the picture of a speeding bike and the other was black with the image of a red jet.

The two of them looked at each other before begrudgingly pulling on the sweaters.

"Great. You really shouldn't have." Hiccup said, pulling his head through the neck hole on his.

"Yeah. Really." Gogo grumbled while putting on hers.

Fred reached behind his back and withdrew a thermos and five small paper cups. He unscrewed the top of the thermos and poured a thick white liquid into each.

"My special recipe eggnog." He shoved a full cup into each of their hands and then raised his in the air. "A toast! To this awesome Christmas and all the ones that come after it."

"Merry Christmas!" They all met their cups in the middle and then took a swig of the Eggnog. Unfortunately, Fred was the only one to do so without spitting it out two seconds later.

"Ugh!"

"Yuck!"

"Oh god!"

"Umm, Freddie?" Honey asked politely while trying not to be sick. "What exactly is in this Eggnog?"

"Just a few eggs, some milk, a little bit of scotch, some cinnamon, some nutmeg, ground up Christmas cookies, powdered cocoa mix, mint toothpaste, some holly, and a leaf of mistletoe." He took another sip and gave a satisfied sigh, licking the nog mustache off his upper lip. "I call it Christmas joy."

After hearing the exact list of ingredients, Wasabi covered his mouth and bolted out to the nearest bathroom.

The others grimaced and poured the concoction into a nearby trashcan.

"So." Honey said, hoping to distract from the horrific beverage they'd just consumed. "Hiccup, Gogo, your first Christmas together as a couple. You must have some exciting plans for tomorrow."

"Not really." Gogo said abruptly. "Hiccups going to be too busy."

"Seriously, why are you so upset?" Hiccup pressed.

"I'm not upset okay!?" Gogo snapped. "I just- I gotta go." She grabbed her coat, and her bag, and bolted from the room, slamming the door as she left.

Honey stared worriedly at the lab door. "What was that about?"

"I don't know. All I said was that I wouldn't be able to do something with her tomorrow because I was going Christmas shopping."

"Ah, Hiccup how much do you know about how Asian countries celebrate Christmas?" Honey asked.

"Besides the fact that they eat different foods and do different things? Not much." He admitted.

"Well, in places like Korea and Japan, Christmas eve is usually celebrated more than Christmas day. And it's seen as more of a romantic holiday. Sort of like Valentine's day."

Hiccup eyes popped. "What!?"

"It's just that from what I know, most couples in San Fransokyo spend Christmas Eve together doing something special, so I think the reason Gogo got so upset was because she figured you'd spend that time together."

Hiccups brain was almost overloaded by this new information. "Why wouldn't she just tell me that?"

Honey snorted. "Hiccup, it's Gogo. She's like a brick wall when it comes to expressing her emotions. I doubt she'd admit she wanted to do something romantic with her boyfriend on Christmas Eve."

Hiccup sighed wearily and rubbed the back of his head. "Yeah, I guess you're right. Ugh, what am I going to do?"

"Don't worry Hiccup, I'm sure you'll think of something." She left.

Hiccup simply stood there for a few minutes before Fred walked over and slung an arm around his shoulder.

"I feel you buddy. Love can be tough. I bet another cup of Christmas joy would-."

"Not going to happen."

As he walked back home, Hiccup tried to figure out what to do about Gogo. He had no idea Christmas eve was such a big deal around here. God, if this was really as big as Valentine's Day, he definitely didn't know what to do.

He kept going until he reached the Lucky cat Café. The outside was completely covered in lines of Christmas lights. In front of the door was a red bowl set up for charity.

Walking in, he found that the inside was no less festive. The number of lights inside were double the amount outside. The place was packed full of people who had come in to get away from the snow and have a nice warm drink. The air wreaked of cinnamon, gingerbread, and eggnog. In the corner was a Christmas tree that was slightly too big to fit, the tip of the star on top poking into the ceiling. The menu had been rewritten in festive green and red and several holiday exclusive items were circled on it.

Cass came from out of the back wearing a bright red Santa hat on her head and holding a tray of hot chocolates in red mugs. Once she saw Hiccup she immediately ran over to him.

"Hey Hiccup. Glad you're here, there's a huge crowed." She glared up at the stares and yelled. "AND IT'D BE NICE TO HAVE A LITTLE HELP DOWN HERE HIRO!"

"I'M NOT COMING DOWN LIKE THIS!" Hiro yelled down.

"THAN I GUESS A CERTAIN SOMEONE ISN"T GOING TO GET THOSE NEW SERVOS HE ASKED FOR!"

There was a pause before Hiro groaned loudly and came down the stairs wearing a green elf suit with a green elf hat, green pointed belled elf shoes, fake pointy ears, and green and red striped stockings on his legs. His happy outfit was marred by the very unhappy look on his face.

Behind him, Baymax waddled down wearing a Santa suit, Santa hat, and a beard duct taped to his face.

Hiccup put his hand over his mouth trying futilely to hide his laughter.

Hiro glared at him. "Not. One. Word." He growled.

Hiccup snorted into his palm. "Of course not." He pulled out his phone and quickly snapped a picture of Hiro. Before he could stop him, he immediately sent it to Gogo with the caption MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Cass beckoned Hiro down. "Come on. You look adorable."

"I look like a total loser." Hiccup moaned as he came down the last step.

"No, you look great, really. I bet Santa's all ready for you to help out with making toys" Hiccup snickered.

Hiro gave him the evil eye. "Well, I'll have to do that after asking about where you got that nice sweater."

Hiccup looked down, having forgotten he was wearing it. "Yeah, I got it from Honey. She made one for everyone in the lab. She might have one for you too."

"I'm good." Hiro said testily. He went to take the tray from Cass.

Baymax walked over to Hiccup. "Hello Hiccup. And merry Christmas. I have been told that this is a customary greeting at this time of year, despite it not yet being Christmas day."

Hiccup smiled. "Thanks Baymax."

"My scanners indicate that you have lower than average neurotransmitter activity and a slight increase in melatonin. Diagnosis: You are sad."

Hearing that, Cass looked at him worriedly. "What's the matter?"

Hiccup was about to answer but then heard a number of people call out for service. He told her. "I'll tell you later." And they went to go serve the customers.

The work was good. It kept him distracted and took his mind off of his problems. He even managed to crack a grin after a customer asked Hiro to pose with her child for a photo. Seeing him stand stonily in an elf costume with that kid felt like an early Christmas present. Unfortunately, Cass remembered and made sure to question him during dinner.

"So what had you upset earlier?" She asked.

Hiccup, having nearly forgotten about the conversation and with a mouthful of katsu don, simply blinked in confusion.

"Baymax scanned you and said you were sad. How come?" She explained.

Now realizing what she was talking about, Hiccup regretfully swallowed his mouthful of chicken, rice, and sauce, and replied. "Eh, me and Gogo got into an argument and now she's upset."

"Argument about what?" Hiro asked.

"Well, I was going to use tomorrow to finish off Gogo's gift so I told her I was going Christmas shopping. Unfortunately, I didn't realize that Christmas eve was considered a romantic holiday in the city and she got angry and baled on me."

Hiro snorted, his face covered in rice." Sounds like you screwed u-OWWW!" He rubbed the spot where Cass had smacked him on the head.

She glared sternly at him and said. "Don't use that kind of language." Then she turned to Hiccup. "And you! How could you tell her you couldn't be with her on Christmas Eve?"

"I didn't realize it was such a big deal!" Hiccup argued. "Most people usually use Christmas Day as an excuse to go out and do romantic stuff!"

Cass looked at him doubtfully. "Really? You told you had a girlfriend before Gogo, didn't she ever want to do something on Christmas Eve?"

"No" Hiccup said, absentmindedly stirring his katsudon. "Honestly, Astrid was more into preparing for holidays. Setting up Christmas lights, decorating the tree, wrapping presents. By the time we we're done all that, we had spent more than enough time together."

"Well you still should've thought of Gogo wanting to do something." Cass pointed out. "Look, this is your first holiday together as a couple. Are you really telling me you don't want to spend as much time with her as possible?"

"Of course I do, I just…..I just wanted to make something special for her. To show her how much she means to me." He sank sadly back into his chair. "I wanted what I gave her to be really special."

"Oh Hiccup, that's so sweet. But don't just focus on what you can give her. Think about what you can do with her too. After all, she knows you love her."

Hiccup knew she was right. Finishing his gift for her might have been important, but he knew he would still miss the time they could have together. Even with his minimal relationship experience, he knew how important Christmas could be.

And he was going to spend it with the woman he loved.

Gogo awoke the next morning still feeling disgruntled from last night. She tried to focus on her usual morning routine of making a cup of coffee with her busted up coffee maker and getting dressed for her morning run and not on the cold feeling of waking up alone instead of with Hiccup next to her or sucking down a mug of brown coffee sludge instead of going out to breakfast with her boyfriend.

She knew her scene last night was stupid. Hiccup had made other arrangements and if he couldn't go, he couldn't go. It wasn't like he was missing out on spending Christmas eve together by choice.

And she hated how sappy she was being. All down in the dumps just because she couldn't spend the day before Christmas with him.

"Get a grip." She whispered to herself. "Plenty of couples can't spend Christmas eve together. It's not the end of the world."

But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't help but think of the Christmas's of her youth she'd spend with her family. Couples snuggled all warmly on the couches holding mugs of hot chocolate. Tender kisses shared under the mistletoe. Heartfelt gifts that were thoughtfully picked out traded between lovers. In her childhood she'd considered it all too mushy and figured she'd never want to do any of that romantic junk with someone. Now the fact that she couldn't do any of those things with Hiccup was making her feel like someone was squeezing her heart.

"Auugghhh!" Gogo roared, clenching her fists and her cheeks burning red. "What is wrong with me!?"

"I'm guessing you're still upset about hiccup?"

Gogo turned around and saw Honey, still in her pajamas, looking at her worriedly.

"No." Gogo lied, her face still flush.

Honey Lemon stepped closer to her and give her an encouraging smile. "It's okay to be upset that you can't be together today. I know I'd be upset if I couldn't do something with Fred."

Gogo raised her eyebrow bemusedly. "Let me guess, you two going superhero Christmas Caroling?"

"And baking big hero cookies for the little ones!" Honey squealed. "You're welcome to join us."

Gogo cringed. The only thing more depressing than spending Christmas alone was acting as a third wheel to Honey and Fred. Especially if Fred brought more of that nightmare concoction he called eggnog.

"I'll pass." Gogo said. She slipped on her boots and went to the door. She turned back and said. "I'm going for a jog."

"Why do you still do that during the winter?" Honey asked.

Gogo shrugged. "Keeps me warm." And went out.

Trudging through the layers of snow that had accumulated over the night, Gogo headed for the stop sign at the end of the street, the combination of her jacket and the friction she was creating keeping her warm.

She was so focused on her run, she just barely heard the sound of her voice being called.

"GOGO!"

She turned around just in time to see Hiccup coming towards her until he tripped and feel face first first into the snow.

She ran back to him and helped pull him up, brushing snow off his jacket sleeves. "What are you doing here!"

Hiccup huffed, his breaths showing up in the cold air. "I lied." He blurted out.

"W-what?"

"I lied. I don't really have to go shopping, That was just something I said because I wanted to finish making a present for you and I didn't want you to find out but I realized how stupid it was to focus so much on that when all I really wanted was to be with you." He said, all in one breath.

Gogo stared at him, not sure how to respond to that, before asking. "Why do you look so tired?"

Hiccup smiled and started digging through his satchel. "Because, I stayed up all night and downed enough caffeine to kill a small house in to make you...this!" From his satchel, Hiccup withdrew a slim black box.

Gogo took it and pulled the top off. Inside, sitting on a bed of crushed velvet was a locket on a small chain. She took it out and opened the locket. Two pictures were set inside the locket, one was of Hiccup bent down next to her bike, examining it closely. The other was one of her in a a white and red sleeveless shirt with a red 6 on the chest and red and white shorts. She was dowsed in sweat and raising her fist triumphantly in the air after winning the San Fransokyo marathon. Hiccup always said it was his favorite picture of her.

She looked up at Hiccup who was rubbing the back of his neck nervously.

"I know it's not as good as it could be. I wanted the chain to be longer so you could wear it around your neck and for it to play a little tune when you opened the locket-." He was cut off by her giving him a nice warm hug he quickly leaned into.

She let him go and said. "It's perfect dork." She slid the chain around her wrist. "See? Now it's a kickass bracelet."

Hiccup smiled and pressed a kiss to her cheek. "Thanks. So, Since it's the day before Christmas I couldn't really arrange something fancy, so I was thinking maybe we could go for breakfast at Cass's hang out for most of the day, get some lunch at noodle burger, go see the tree light up and then go back to your place?"

Gogo grinned. "That sounds great." Then her smile fell. "But, um..."

"What?"

"I'm not so fond of noodle burger ever since I was almost murdered by it's mascot."

"Oh, right." They stood in awkward silence before he said. "Yakl-taco?"

"Better." The two started walking down the street towards the Lucky Cat. They took a second to look at each other with adoration.

"Merry Christmas Gogo."

"Merry Christmas Hiccup."

@thecorteztwins

I wound up writing a little thing based on those panels you showed me of villains “rehabilitating” (but actually being mind-controlled) at Clear Mountain Center in X-Men 92. This was meant to be a funny story about Fabian in rehab learning how to talk to women, but it got a little disturbing because of the mind-control aspect, and also Avalanche tells a grim little story about baby murder, so warnings for that. But now I’m really tempted to write something about Haven taking the place over and actually Doing It Right.

“So,” Fabian began, speaking in the halting tones of someone attempting to wrap his mind around a difficult concept. “You’re saying you’re not attracted to me?”

“Not in the slightest,” said Tabitha Smith, the mutant known as Boomer (and also Time Bomb, Boom-boom, Meltdown, and whatever other code-name caught her fancy). Her tone was firm, but she smiled at him, as if to soften the blow. “I mean, you’re obviously good-looking, just not my type.”

“Oh, of course, you prefer women. I understand. I am open-minded about such things –“

“Nooooo…..” Boomer cut in, with some slight irritation creeping into her voice. “I’m mostly into guys. Just different types of guys.” Fabian thought hard. He was tempted to spread his legs out wider, to give her a better look at what she was rejecting, but he’d gotten enough tiny power-bombs to the crotch to learn that that was a bad idea. (The low-powered bombs did no real damage, but they certainly stung.)

“I get it, I get it. You are holding yourself back. You are maintaining a professional relationship because you are my counselor.”

“No!” Boomer held her head in her hands for a moment, sighing. “Look, not every woman will find you attractive, okay? Everyone has different preferences. Like, people think Leonard Decaprio is super-hot, and he just doesn’t do anything for me, I’m more of a Brad Pitt girl. It’s not something you need to feel bad about, it doesn’t mean you’re like, ugly, or anything like that.”

Fabian’s mind whirled. This girl was young, beautiful, a powerful mutant, and had showed him such kindness as his mentor. She had a surprising amount of wisdom underneath her shallow and flippant demeanor. And yet, her judgement was so unsound. Perhaps she had some kind of psychological condition, like a strange form of face-blindness? But then, Fabian had been learning to accept many ideas that had previously seemed impossible. The idea of living with the humans in peace. The idea of answering hatred with understanding, not violence. The idea that he should treat others with kindness and respect, instead using them as stepping stones in his quest for status and power.

“Very well,” Fabian began again. It was difficult to force the words out. “I…accept that you do not find me attractive. I….accept that some people…..may….not find me attractive. After all, there are many different preferences in this world.”

“Yeah, dude, exactly. It’s like…some people like Cool Ranch Doritos? And some people prefer Nacho Cheese. There’s no right or wrong, except for the people who like Funyuns, because that shit is nasty.” Fabian wanted to roll at his eyes at her rather low class tastes, but instead he found himself laughing good-naturedly.

“Ha, ha, yes, that is a funny joke,” he said, beaming. It was strange. His mind felt so….slow. Like there was this weight pressing down in it. But at the same time, it was oddly pleasant. A bit like Anne Marie’s more enthusiastic hugs, which always threatened to break the recipient’s back.

“In Spain we have jamon flavored potato chips. Perhaps you would find them interesting to try. I will bring some back the next time I visit home.” He did not add that he had never eaten those chips, they were junk food for peasants, but if this girl found them enjoyable, he would indulge her. It was a nice thing to do, and he found that he wanted to be nice lately. He didn’t entirely understand why.

“Oh dude, that would be amazing!” Boomer exclaimed. “I love trying junk food from other countries. There’s so much cool stuff out there. Did you know that they have, like, a whole ton of Kit-Kat flavors in Japan?”

I don’t care, Fabian wanted to say. I spent my time in Japan eating Kobe beef and blue-fin tuna, not wasting my money on cheap candy.

“No, I didn’t know that,” he said aloud instead. He hadn’t meant to say that. He hadn’t intended to sound so interested, but his mouth and brain did not seem properly connected. The pleasant feeling hung over him, almost suffocating.

“OMG, there are like, so many! There’s strawberry, and sweet potato, and soy sauce, and wasabi – which is like, better than you’d expect – and sake, and…”

Fabian wanted to tell her to stop prattling, but he couldn’t quite find the words. He looked around the outdoor area while she rambled on. There was Blob pruning rhododendron bushes with Storm, the blossoms tiny in his huge, clumsy hands.

“….and blueberry cheesecake, and apple pie, and brown sugar syrup, and cantaloupe which sounds totally disgusting but apparently it’s pretty good, and…”

The Kleinstock brothers and Frenzy were tossing a Frisbee around with Feral and Cannonball, while Vertigo and Arclight were playing scrabble with Polaris and Multiple Man. Ruckus was strumming a guitar, pausing occasionally to sweep his hair back dramatically, and clearly looking around for an audience. Ugh, he was singing “One Tin Soldier.” Fabian hated that song. Fabian hated……a lot of things that were happening at that moment.

“….and maple, and pumpkin, and chestnut, and green tea, and Tokyo Banana, because apparently that’s a thing, and..”

He hated listening to this stupid girl spew out every thought in her empty brain. He hated sitting in group therapy and listening to the peons that he shared the facility with whining about their inconsequential problems. He hated having to hug people. He hated being stuck in this adult daycare while he should be leading his Acolytes to victory against humankind (and racking up a few kill points for the Upstarts while he was at it.) Something in his mind was breaking free.

“Enough!” he snapped, jumping to his feet. “This isn’t right! I shouldn’t be here!” Boomer paused in her Kit-Kat flavor recital.

“Whoa, dude. Chill out. You need a time-out, or something? Maybe you need some time in the Angry Room.”

“No, I do not need some time in the Angry Room,” Fabian snarled. “I don’t belong here with the rest of these losers, there’s nothing wrong with me. I’m….I’m so much better than the rest of you. I’m practically a god! I should be….should be –“ His eyebrow twitched. His body shuddered, and a fixed grin came over his face.

“I’m sorry, I shouldn’t be saying things like that. What am I thinking? We’re all special in our own way. I just want us all to be friends,” Fabian continued. A single tear leaked out of one corner of his eye.

“Hey, good job, man,” said Boomer, patting him on the shoulder. “You recognized a negative thought pattern, and then, like, stopped it. That totally deserves a Hershey Kiss.” She tossed him the silver wrapped chocolate.

“Thank you.” Fabian shuddered again, and then his body seemed to relax, his tense smile softening into one that seemed genuine, if a bit dazed. “I like Hershey Kisses.”

“Don’t we all, buddy.”

“They are good,” Fabian continued, pulling the foil off and popping the chocolate in his mouth absent-mindedly. “This place is a good place. We are all good here.”

At the table, another group was mid-way through a fairly intense game of Uno. Most of the group (X-Men included), would have preferred poker, but apparently that wasn’t wholesome enough the rehabilitation process.

“I’m just saying, we didn’t start the war.” Avalanche slapped down a card, perhaps slightly too hard. “Humans want to stomp out anyone who’s different. That’s the whole damn history of the human race.”

“But nothing will change if we continue the cycle of violence,” argued Colossus.

“We must ‘turn the other cheek,’” agreed Nightcrawler. “Send out a message of peace and love.” He betrayed that sentiment by tossing down a Draw Four card.

“Yeah, and the guy that did that got nailed to a cross, didn’t he?” Avalanche retorted. “Didn’t work out so well for him.”

“You can’t be expecting us to imitate Christ, can ya?” Pyro put in, throwing a Reverse on the stack. “He was all flawless and perfect and ‘ineffable,’ right? And he had a get-out-of-death-free card. We ain’t got that.”

“You could have that, by the Grace of God –“ Nightcrawler began, than stopped, shaking his head. “I’m sorry, this is not the right place for that conversation. I know religion is very personal, and everyone must make their own choices. But I will talk about it with any of you privately, if you want.”

“All I’m saying is, humans have tried to bloody kill us,” Pyro continued. “Are we supposed to just lie down and take it? I’ve had people turn on me, even back before the Brotherhood, before I committed any crimes. People that I thought I could trust.” The cards in his hand crumpled as his fist clenched.

“Humans are fucking brutal. I’ve seen…..” Avalanche shook his head. “There was a woman back on Kalymnos, gave birth to a baby with gills. Nothing wrong with the kid otherwise, it was just a cute baby. But people acted like it was the damn anti-Christ. Her husband moved out and wouldn’t have anything to do with her. And one day….” A slight tremor rippled across the table as he continued. “One day some guy just snatched the baby out of her arms and threw it down on the rocks. I’ll never forget how she screamed. And nothing ever happened to the guy. He was a murderer, and the police did nothing. Everyone just pretended that it never happened –“ The table shook visibly now, the vibrations spreading out into the ground around them.

“Tovarish, please calm down. I understand how that memory must pain you, but –“

The vibrations suddenly stopped. For a moment, Avalanche looked confused, then a dull smile spread across his face.

“I’m sorry, friends. I just get upset sometimes, thinking about that. I shouldn’t dwell on such horrible memories.”

“Yes, we should just think about good things,” Pyro agreed, wearing the same sickly smile. “We are in a good place. We are all good here.”

Sitting in the sun on the roof, Toad wrapped his arms around himself, smiling. He felt….good. For the first time that he could remember, he was entirely at peace with himself. He wasn’t plagued with anxiety at every social interaction, waiting for the inevitable rejection, wasn’t miserable when he looked into the mirror. No more flashbacks or sudden fits of sadness or anger. He woke up and was actually eager to get out of bed in the morning, eager for a day that he knew would bring good things. And people were actually being nice to him! There was no superficial politeness or poorly hidden disgust, no cheap pity. Just genuine kindness. His counselors and the other former super-villains actually seemed glad to see him every day.

Of course, sometimes it felt too good to be true. Sometimes he would look around and everything would feel slightly off, like one of those hyper-realistic dreams where you can only tell that you’re dreaming because something in your room is out of place. He felt like he was constantly wrapped in a blanket of warm air, and it was so good and comforting, but it made him dull and sleepy. (Perhaps this was what being drunk was supposed to be like? For the normal people? When Toad tried alcohol, it only seemed to make him sad.) Things were very hazy, and it was hard to put his thoughts together. But that didn’t matter, did it? Because finally he was safe and happy, and everyone was so nice.

“This is a good place,” he said aloud to no one in particular. “We are all good here.”

Cutie Reviews: TokyoTreat September 19

I can’t believe it’s been like 3 months since I last did one of these o_o I mean, it does feel like it’s been some time- but not that long. I’d blame it on Pokemon Sword, but I just got it last week so I guess I can’t. But it did partially have to do with why I was putting this box off, besides a little intimidation because I’m still getting into the swing of things again...

(Warning: melted chocolate pics inside!)

Okay, so as you guys can see for this month we got a paper, which usually only happens when there is an issue going on with an item. Well, for this month, it’s basically saying that they mislabeled the AJ Curry item in the booklet as something else.

The Lucky Treat for this month... do you guys remember? :3 this is the one I actually won! If you want to see the prizes in full detail, check out this blog post! The Prize for the contest features some Dragonball and Gintama figures and candy.

The booklet also features an article on flavors of the month, some basic Japanese, and Pocky!

Watermelon Soda & Melon Jelly DIY

For our fruity theme this month, we got a watermelon flavored soda by Kirin. The drink only contains 15kcal per 100ml, and if I understand this right, the bottle contains 480ml? I can’t really read it- and I suck at math, but that doesn’t sound too bad right?

It smells exactly like watermelon candy/artificial watermelon, and you mostly taste that while drinking it- but the after taste brings to mind a real watermelon. When I was younger I used to love watermelon flavored things, but now that I’m older I find there’s only a few I still like now, so I kinda like this. But I can’t see myself wanting to drink the entire thing either, I’ll probably share it.

Also, I like how the packaging makes it look like a watermelon.

- - - - - -

Our DIY item I’ve reviewed before (I’m pretty sure because I know I had it before), and because of how quick and easy it is, I didn’t see the point in making a whole separate post about it.

This is a “jelly drink“, in that it starts out liquidy when you mix it, but the more you mix and let it sit, the more... slime-like it becomes. With the color and texture it feels like you’re making a slime rather than a snackish-candy-drink; in saying that, if you’re someone who doesn’t like slimey textured food items, you probably won’t like this.

I have to admit that with its green coloring, I got a little grossed out because of what it reminded me of <_< but I assure it delicious, although light on the melon flavor. It’s also fun to make and play with.

Caramel Corn & Melon Bread Cookies

Next is the ever-so-popular Caramel Corn by Tohato. However, this pack is kind of special because its the last share pack I will be getting in this box! We weren’t supposed to get one at all, but somehow this ended up being my mystery item they included. Luckily I like caramel corn.

If you’re looking for a sweet, crispy snack then I’d recommend trying them. Each little bag of original flavor Caramel Corn is 56kcal, and they come in several flavors for all sorts of tastes, even those you might normally see in crunchy-crispy snacks; like ice cream and soda!

My only issue with these is that sometimes they’re too sweet. I’m used to the normal flavor by now after eating it so many times, but whenever I try a new flavor I can usually just eat a handful before I want something else. But they always taste good :P as long as you eat them within a few days of opening- they go stale pretty quick.

- - - - - - - -

Our next item is a melon bread cookie pack by Yaokin. These seemingly plain cookies are packed with a melon flavoring; and chocolate, as I discovered after I took the picture.

The three flavors of the melon and chocolate combined with the cookie give the entire taste a light sweetness that isn’t overwhelming. It seems dry but the thin chocolate provides a little moistness, I didn’t feel like a drink was necessary after eating one.

Mint Taiyaki & Chocolate Mint Pocky

I’ve said this countless times but for anyone new, I love mint and chocolate mint flavors~

The taiyaki (a fish-shaped cookie or cake filled with cream) I have had before, and as you can see this one came to be very beaten up. I’m not sure what happened because nothing else was mangled in the box, but I assume it could be because of the airy chocolate insides melting.

It’s still very tasty though, and as you eat it, you feel a cooling mint effect in your mouth x3 each one is 89kcal. These are by the brand Meito, and they come in several flavors so I would recommend trying one if you ever see them.

- - - - - - -

Meanwhile, you can also see that the pocky suffered from being in the heat and kept in a box for so long. These weren’t the only thing that suffered in the box.

Anyway, these Pocky come in a 2-set pack, making them perfect for sharing or just giving to someone special or in need of a pick-me-up. The stick is chocolate, while the chocolate cream over it is mint. Per-pack, these are 165kcal.

According to the box, these are good until May, and they taste fine even in this shape. But the flavoring is very light in my opinion, so I’m not sure how I feel about them.

Gudetama Custard Chocolate & Detective Conan Chocolate Bar

Yeah... I think these 2 items got the “heat deformation“ worse than anything else in the box. Surprisingly they are also both by the brand Furuta.

The gudetama bag of chocolates consists of a small chocolate filled with a softer, creamish sort of white chocolate flavored like custard. Each one is 54kcal, and as you can see pretty messy to try to eat as a result of them melting in the packaging.

Honestly, I’m not really into these. They still taste the same as they did back when I opened the box and tried one, but I’m not really crazy about the taste; they kind of remind me of a chocolate brand I really don’t like. They’re not the worst chocolate I’ve tried though.

But I will say that just for the adorable Gudetama theme, they are still worth trying. Especially if you know someone who likes Gudetama.

- - - - - -

Our next item (which I know is really hard to see in this picture) is very common, because it frequently shows up in the Kawaii Box. These are the chocolate bars that are filled with wafer and chocolate cream, then coated in another layer of chocolate that resembles a log of wood. Furuta makes them for several series, like Sanrio and Disney.

This one featured a Detective Conan wrapper, but it was pretty messed up by the time I got the chocolate out, so I had to discard it. It was also strawberry-chocolate in taste, and it was very yummy! It reminds me of the Apollo strawberry chocolate, which I would also recommend trying. They’re one of the smaller, cheaper Japanese candies you can easily find on Amazon.

Watermelon Gummies & Soda Soft Candy

This box was kind of repetitive in my opinion, because here we are at another candy I’ve had before. These watermelon gummies by Kabaya came in a Kawaii Box a few months back prior to this one. The entire bag is 159kcal, and something I appreciate about them is that the pack is resealable.

I like these gummies because they’re soft, and the sweetness is very light, but you get a lot of watermelon flavor. They have a refreshing quality to them too, so I think they would make a great summer snack.

- - - - - -

Our next item is by Coris, and it is a soft, chewy candy stick flavored after Soda (which is comparable or also labeled as ramune, you can tell the difference between soda flavors and cola because of the coloring. Cola is usually red or brown, while soda will be blue or white). The candy consists of a chewy tube filled with tightly packed powder, both of which have soda flavoring.

Although it’s not as chewy, these remind me a lot of a Hi-Chew. It’s very tasty, and it’s smooth chewiness makes it feel really nice in the mouth x3 I really like it.

Aj Curry, Yaokin Soba, and Petit Kabuki Rice Crackers

AJ Curry is a fairly common snack you can find in various Japanese snack packs or online, as such as I’ve had it a couple times before. Each bag is 38kcal, and you get a bunch so if you’re looking for a little snack I think these would be a good choice.

I will mention that these expired back in December, but when I opened them they didn’t taste stale, although now I’m beginning to notice it. The flavor is fairly light and I would assume by the name they’re going for a curry spice flavor, which I can taste- but they also remind me a lot of Bugles.

- - - - -

Also by Yaokin, we have this soba snacking noodle and puff pack, flavored after the sauce you would find on soba noodles. You can eat these as-is, or the booklet even recommends putting them on some cooked noodles. Which is something I see a lot of people do, but I never tried it myself.

These expired at the end of December, and they have a weird taste- but I’m not sure if its due to expiration or if its just how they taste. I haven’t had them for a long time. They smell really good, but they have a sort of... fishy aftertaste? To be fair though I haven’t really been a fan of these though, so I’ll probably give them to someone else who I know would like them.

- - - - -

Our last item in this pic is a pack of rice crackers, and I got very excited to see these; I love rice, and I love rice snacks (especially savory ones). I really wish we got more of them!

The flavor is light with these -it reminds me of soy sauce- and they have a soft-crunch texture. I’ve had them before but I will gladly welcome them again because I really like these ♥

Wasabi Nori & Natto Umaibo

I can’t say I’m a big fan of wasabi or natto- but it’s always fun to try something new (within reason that is, there are things I never plan on eating). Our first item is this Nori (seaweed) stick similar to jerky. I have tried one of these before, but I don’t remember what flavor it was; I will say that they remind me a lot of squid though.

As much as I like eating seaweed, I can’t say this is my favorite form of it. You get the taste, but it’s pretty chewy, and honestly a little unpleasant from the wasabi flavor. It’s not terrible, but not something I would choose again.

- - - - -

I love umaibo, but would you believe this one reminded me of wasabi way more than the seaweed did? I never actually tried natto before, but I do know there are like... wasabi or musardish flavoring for it from what I’ve seen. I think that’s what I taste while eating it. But it’s pretty light; this expired back in December though so that might have played a part in it.

It actually tasted really good. Nothing comparable to my favorite Umaibo flavor (corn potage), but I didn’t dislike it at all.

Fried Potato Chips & Yuzu Lemon Salt Chips

These are our last 2 items of this box. Our first item is a small pack of fry-style potato chips. They look a bit like the AJ Curry don’t they?

These don’t taste bad, but they’re pretty plain in comparison to the other items in the box. They have a light flavor, but it’s basic, nothing special. They got a nice crunch though, and they don’t taste bad. If you’re not really into unique flavors this would probably be up your alley.

- - - - -

Our last item is a frequent one by Calbee we often get the pleasure of trying :3 and I mean that very sincerely, because I love their chips (I suggest trying the pepper ones if you ever see them!). They range from basic savory flavors to the more adventurous fruity ones, sweet chocolate dipped, and even some spicy ones like wasabi. But they also have basic chip flavors too.

I think I’ve tried at least 5 variants of their chips, and so far not a stinker among them. They have a high calorie count though, which is the one downside; but as long as you don’t eat them all at once or frequently, I don’t think its too bad.

Now, as I discovered from getting this box, lemon-salt is a fairly popular flavor combination. At first it sounded kind of strange to me, but it always tastes pretty good. You get the refreshing sweetness of lemon with a cut of saltiness, so there isn’t usually any sourness.

Which is exactly how you could describe these chips. They taste really good, and the flavor is a bit lighter than usual so if you’re new to it these might be a good place to start.

♥ Cutie Ranking ♥

Content - 3 out of 5. I complain about repetition a lot, and sadly this box jammed that button hard for me. Only 4 items were extremely new to me, while the rest was either the same flavors or different ones. BUT, if they had to do repeats I’m glad they were items I actually liked. I was also happy not to see a bag of kit kats. I love them but I was getting tire of them <_< and I find it ironic that even though we no longer got share pack items, I still got them from the random item! Quality - 3.5 out of 5. A fair amount of items were either expired or melted, warped chocolate but to be fair this box is about 5 months old, it’s not Tokyo Treats fault. But in saying that, I’m rating this based on the fact these items aren’t likely to hold over long, but they mostly all still taste the same/pretty good. Theme - 5 out of 5. Well I can’t say the items were fresh by the time I got to them, but they were tasty :P Total Rank: 7 out of 10. I wasn’t very happy with this heavy repetition (for me personally, I know that can’t be helped because there’s a lot of new people who can say they never had these before), but at least everything was yummy. I disliked one item out of everything, and even then it wasn’t unbearable or nasty. I also didn’t like how badly this box handled itself over time, and out of every box I got I think this one had it the worst. Usually they hold up so much better. But it didn’t ruin the box, an with next months box being Halloween based, I can’t wait to see what we get~

♥ Cutie’s Scale of Yummy ♥

1. Rice Crackers - ♥ Very very VERY yummy ♥ 2. Soda Soft Candy - Delicious ♥ 3. Chocolate Bar - I love Apollo chocolate x3 so considering this tasted like it, I really liked this one. 4. Melon Jelly Drink DIY - I usually don’t include the DIY items, but since I reviewed it here I didn’t see a point in excluding it. Very tasty, but the melon is really light.

5. Natto Umaibo - I was kind of surprised I liked this as much as I did. I wasn’t expecting to. 6. Mint Taiyaki - given its poor shape, it didn’t taste as good as my previous one did. But it was still yummy~ 7. Lemon Salt Chips - I’m not sure they’re my favorite of this brand, but I did like them. They make me think of a non-sour lemon meringue. 8. Watermelon Soda - Initially I didn’t want very much but over time I began to like it more, and it seemed to lose that artificial watermelon taste. 9. Watermelon Gummies - Sweet and soft, very refreshing. 10. Melon Bread Biscuits - Pretty tasty, and I like the chocolate cream. I feel like that added something to it. 11. Wasabi Nori - I wouldn’t choose this again, but I didn’t hate it. 12. Choco Mint Pocky - I thought I would like these a lot more, but they’re not as strong as the chocolate mint I’m used to. 13. AJ Curry - these taste fine, I never disliked them. But they were never my favorite either.

14. Gudetama Chocolate - It’s very cute in packaging but the taste wasn’t the best.

15. Fried Potato Chips - Nothing wrong with them, but they didn’t offer much.

16. Caramel Corn - don’t get me wrong, I think they’re delicious, but it’s just the same thing with these every time.

17. Yaokin Soba - I never liked this, and i still don’t.

🧁 favorite legendary cookie

very good question

uuhhhh if i had to pick i think i’d say moonlight? don’t know exactly why though, especially since i... know much less about the city of wizards lore than i’d like to (there was an event back in january, right? but since i was JUST starting out i had no idea what was going on and couldn’t make much progress :/ )

🧾Cookie you’d like more lore for

for a recent one i’d like to have a continuation on: roguefort (and probably walnut by extension). what the FUCK happened to the blue cheese manor and what the FUCK did they mean when they told walnut she still doesn’t know who they really are i need ANSWERS

beyond that idk exactly? there’s a lot of cookies who could use more lore actually (& as someone who didn’t play much line cr idk how much lore already exists that i’m missing)

🎶 favorite song

ok ok so idk what my FAVORITE favorite song is but i’ve recently realized that the moonlit clock tower BGM fuckin slaps. i never got to listen to it because 1. even when i get to it in trophy race my relay’s (previously cotton candy, now DJ) skill would always activate with its own music and 2. i’m usually playing cr in a public space without headphones so i usually play with sound off anyway (sorry DJ)

but thanks to one of the current guild run arenas (can’t remember which) i actually got to listen to the whole track and kinda got BLOWN AWAY by how much it SLAPPED

👕Favorite costume

ANOTHER very good question

to pick one i really like... wasabi’s twilight outlaw. final decision possibly influenced by how much of an achievement it was to finally get it

Sound Setup [part 1]

"Yo 8-T, y'all ready for this!?" Octavio yells enthusiastically to the Octarian-like creature in hypno-goggles, who is busy tinkering away at a strange new machine that resembles a double DJ booth of sorts. How curious of a design!

Reaching for a spraycan of blue paint, 8-T stops and turns to acknowledge Octavio, smirking confidentally all the while. "Almost done, broski! Just gotta pimp this ride out a little more before it's showtime."

"Right, the googles are still on. Just a sec." Octavio comments, as he pulls out a remote-controller and clicks a button on it, causing 8-T's body to jolt awkwardly and stagger for a bit. "I think the Octobot King III's lookin' shella fresh as it is actually..."

Rather dazed after being released from the influence of the hypno-goggles, Beta had to take a moment to regain his composure before speaking. "Ahh...finally." he groaned, rubbing his head. "Not a big fan of those goggles Octavio, but I get it - it's part of the deal. So...how did I do on the Octobot King's upgrade?"

"It's pretty fire I gotta say! The improvements are jammin'! We got 8-Bomb launchers, the stingrave lasers, the um...blender thingy. Whatever ya called it - that thing's rad-lookin'!" Octavio praised, nodding in approval. He was rather happy with these strange new innovations, despite not quite paying attention to what exactly they were.

"I call it 'The Thang'." Beta corrected him. "It's powering the whole machine, by mixing wasabi with Salmonid power eggs to create a spicy and viable energy source."

"Hey! Spicy sounds good ta me! But, ya know...any reason why I couldn't have the Killa Wails from the first model put in 'cause I liked those?" Octavio questioned after further observations.

Beta sighed a little before informing Octavio. "Sorry, but I had to exclude that due to Pearl...personal reasons. ...I can't keep a level head when one sounds off near me."

"Okay, whatever. Still good enough!" Octavio just shrugs. "So like...I guess I'll give ya a moment ta talk to Coraline then before the party starts? Remember, she gets ta leave free of charge after this."

"Alright, thanks for that." Beta responds before pondering a little. "...But Octavio, do you really think that this concert is what you need to get your spark back? Will this even work out right?"

"Gotta try. I'm tired of bein' a wash-out..." complained Octavio. "Two of mah concerts got crashed and no one really cared for me in that third one just cause they were too busy payin' attention ta all the other musicians. I felt like I was particularly mild in that last one, for real."

Big Hero 7: The Series

Big Hero 7 S2

Lie Detectors

*The streets are occupied when a monster looking like the Kentucky Kaiju is being chased by Big Hero 7*

Wasabi: Guys! I see the monster! I’m right behind him!

*But before Wasabi could go any further he is trapped in traffic.*

Wasabi: Scratch that I lost him!

Cora: Don’t Worry! We’re on our way!

*Soon Baymax with Hiro and Cora fly after the monster.*

Baymax: We’re enrooted for Nigh Market Square. Rapidly.

Gogo: I’m gonna cut him off!

*But when she gets there, she doesn’t see anything.*

Gogo; Wait? Where’d he go?

Hiro; Honey Lemon, do you see anything?

Honey Lemon: Nothing… wait!

*Honey Lemon’s visor soon catches the Kaiju clinging onto a bus.*

Honey Lemon: He’s on a bus!

Wasabi: Wait, like riding the bus?

Honey Lemon: Kind of.

Hiro: We see him!

*The three fly off to catch the monster who hops off the bus when they get close.*

Hiro: Gogo, you gotta intercept.

Gogo: Good, this ends now!

*Soon enough Gogo is face to face with the monster in a dark alley. She throws her disc to the monster which knocks him out which allows her to pin it down to the ground.*

Gogo: Gotcha!

*Baymax lands to the sight.*

Hiro: Nice Gogo!

*But that’s when the eye socket pops open to reveal someone is inside.*

Fred: Yeah, but did you have to throw the disc so hard?

Gogo: You were the one who wanted to do the monster training exercise.

Cora: Exactly, so we can be better prepared when another one shows up.

Honey Lemon: Good Monster hustle Freddy.

Hiro: Whew, what a work out. Who’s hungry?

Fred: Lets hit up Noodle Burger! I want to try the new Fruggle Noodle menu!

Cora: Maybe I can hit up some of the new Noodle Fishy Burger.

*With that the six fly off to have food… leaving Wasabi stuck in traffic.*

Wasabi: Wait I’m hungry too!… Aw…

*Around that night at Sycorax Chris delivers a plate of muffins to Liv Amara who is frustrated about a project she’s conducting.*

Liv: Ugh! Its not working! Nothings working!

Chris: Sounds like somebody needs a Chris-cake!

Liv: Chris not now- Wait… whats on it?

Chris: Gold flakes, adds a fun flare. You’re worth it.

Liv: Gold…

*She soon starts typing up the chemical makeup of gold to the equation she’s working on.*

Chris: Completely digestible.

Liv: Gold! Bio-compatible nano-particles yes! Chris you are a life saver!

*The next day, the gang meet up at Fred’s house to hang out eating their noodle burgers.*

Wasabi: I started a competitive ironing team in highschool, I collected vintage typewriters, and I knitted my first sweater when I was seven.

*Fred sips his soda loudly as he stares at Wasabi with judging eyes.*

Fred: Hmmm, this is a tough one. I mean they all sound true-ish.

Hiro: But one’s a lie, right Wasabi?

Wasabi: Yes! I know how to play the game guys! I said two truths and one lie.

Cora: So which’s one the lie?

Gogo: Well the Ironing’s real, I’ve seen the trophies.

Wasabi: Still undefeated!

Gogo: Because you were the only team-

Wasabi: Irrelevant.

Honey Lemon: What’s your guess Freddy?

Fred:*Blows bubbles on his soda* I guess that the lie is…

Baymax: Wasabi did not knit his first sweater when he was seven.

Wasabi: Yup, Baymax is right. I was six… wait! How did you know that?

Baymax: Your heart rate increased and your pupils dilated when you made the third statement.

Wasabi:… How closely were you looking at my pupils?

Cora: Wow Baymax! That was awesome! A little invasive but cool!

Fred: Yeah! He’s like a walking lie detector!

Hiro: Yeah Baymax I didn’t know you could… *Suddenly gets an idea* Hey-Hey! Liv Amara!

Fred: Where?

Hiro: She’s the one behind all the monster attacks.

Gogo: Too bad for us we can’t prove it.

Hiro: But now we can *Points his thumb to Baymax* Lie detector.

Cora: Question is how would we be able to get close to Liv Amara to test Baymax out? You’re Krei’s intern and I flat out gave her the bird when I left.

Wasabi: So what are you two gonna do? Follow her around until she catch her in a lie?

Hiro: For basics, yeah!

Wasabi: So far that’s not a bad plan!

Fred: Ooh! Ooh! OK, but first, can I go? Please? I haven’t had my turn yet and I stayed up all night crafting the perfect lie!

Honey Lemon: OK Freddie you’re up!

Fred: Ooh! Here it goes: I like too many pickles on my noodle burger, I own 59,407 comics, and I speak fluid Lithuanian! Good luck with that!

Baymax: You do not speak Lithuanian.

Fred:… This game is a lot less fun when Baymax is cheating by knowing all the answers!

Gogo: Fred we all knew that one.

Baymax: True.

Hiro: OK, I’m heading to the school to set up something that would increase Baymax’s Lie detecting abilities. *To Cora* Wanna come?

Cora: Sure!

*Soon Hiro leaves through the door first, but before Baymax would waddle out Cora steps in front of him.*

Cora: I hadn’t had my turn yet so I’ll make this very quick: I was 4 when I learned how to talk, I went botfighting when I was thirteen, and I’m secretly related to mermaids.

Gogo: Seriously Cora?

Cora: I never play games like this before Gogo! Sides, it obvious the last one is a lie right Baymax?

*But when she turns her head to regard Baymax, she finds that the robot is uncharacteristically quiet. The gang noticed this and look at Baymax with concerned eyes.*

Honey Lemon: Baymax? Is something wrong?

Baymax: I am alright. I had just experienced a minor bug that had blocked my thought processer. Lets go meet Hiro.

Cora: OK Baymax, *to Herself* gotta check your system before we install the upgraded lie detector…

*Once the other two leave to join Hiro, the gang look at each other with questioning eyes.*

Wasabi: What just happened?

Honey Lemon: I don’t know, but Hiro and Cora had just looked up Baymax’s system yesterday and said that its been functioning normally.

Gogo: Either way, that was super weird.

Fred: * To himself in private* Odd…very, Very odd. Or could it be that…*dramatic gasp* The Lie detector lied?!…Na that’s kinda dumb even for me.

* From across the town Kaguya is at her room, carefully sorting through the floor boards where she had hidden her most valuable possessions out of reach. Once she peeks through she grabs the one she is looking for. It’s a large oval shaped piece of metal, covered in dust from many years but not covered in rust. Wiping it off she places the object in her bag where she sees Kage and his Baymax waiting for her.*

Kaguya: Hello Kage. Are you ready to go?

Kage: Indeed I am.

Kaguya: I informed Mizuchi about this and he says that he will keep an eye out on Cora while we’re away… I must admit, you joining me to discover more about what the Sirens’ had heard about Sycorax is truly interesting.

Kage: Yes. I will admit when I first heard of Liv Amara, something about her seemed a little off, even for me. Not to mention she brushed off Hiro when she learned Tadashi made Baymax.

Kaguya: Yes. That is true, you would think she had a history with Tadashi if one didn’t know any better.

Kage: Yes.

*And so the three head out to meet at the place where the Sirens are kept under lock and key by Orso Knox. While on the path Kage pulls out the baby blue scrunchie, his eyes staring at the small thing. He puts it back in his pocket and focuses on joining Kaguya to find answers for Sycorax.. and hopefully about why is Chara’s scrunchie there? At the school Hiro is setting up a new chip for Baymax while Cora had just finished checking Baymax’s system for bugs.*

Cora: OK, looks like you’re all clear! You probably just had a brain fart earlier.

Baymax: I do not have a brain, nor can I fart.

Cora: Another expression Baymax.

*Soon enough Hiro finishes coding his new chip and brings it out.*

Hiro: There, I enhanced your lie detector interface.

*Hiro scoots his seat towards Baymax where he inserts the chip inside him.*

Hiro: Alright now, lets test it! My name is Fred.

Baymax: Lie.

Hiro: Ha! Perfect!

Cora: Ooh~! my turn! Tomatoes are purple!

Baymax: Lie.

Hiro: The sky is green!

Baymax: Lie.

Cora: Nice, the Earth is round!

Baymax: True.

Hiro: I think we’re ready!

Cora: OK! Now lets go incognito style!

Hiro: And get Liv!

*And that’s when the three start their mission, sneakily following her around the city in their moped. Cora had brought her herbal medicine book in her bag as an added just in case bait.*

Hiro: I see her.

Cora: Remember… stealthily.

*The three drive up to Liv Amara closely… but the sea food truck driver is behind them soon.*

Truck Driver: Hey! *Honks his car*

Baymax: Hello.

Truck Driver: Move it!

Hiro: Sorry we uh… gotta go!

Cora: Have a nice day!

*Hiro immediately drives away from the path, allowing the truck driver to continue on his way. When they spot Liv Amara again they see her enter into a restaurant.*

Hiro: Well, *To Cora* Looks like we’re getting lunch.

*They three park the moped and head inside to get seated, hopefully as close to Liv Amara as they could.*

Sydney: Here you are, a nice table in the back.

*The two teens spot a table closer to Liv Amara where its by the window.*

Hiro; Actually, could we actually be seated closer to… the window?

Sydney: Impossible, that table’s reserved.

*That’s when Baymax’s lie detector comes up.*

Baymax: That is not true.

*Hiro crosses his arms with a sly smirk while Cora gives a polite smile at the waiter.*

Cora: We’d still like the table by the window sir.

*The server sighs before he directs the three to the table, with said three covering their faces as they pass Liv Amara. Once seated the waiter gives Hiro and Cora their menus before he turns to Baymax.*

Sydney: Will he be eating?

Baymax: *Letting out some air to sit properly* I am a robot.

Sydney: So I take it as a no?

*Hiro is about to ask the waiter to keep the menu when Cora pulls out her book and hands it to Baymax.*

Cora: Yeah. Thank you for your services sir. *To Baymax* Read it if you like.

Sydney: And what would that book be about?

Cora: Oh, just a book about herbs and flowers.

Sydney: *sighs to himself slightly frustrated* Keep it together Sydney..

*And so the waiter leaves the three to themselves to decide on their choice of food. With that Hiro and Cora notices that person Liv Amara is meeting is Bluff Dunder from the news. Getting a quick idea, Cora sets Baymax’s volume to vibrate, so that his dings of truth or lie wouldn’t disturb anyone and let Liv Amara know they are following her.*

Hiro: *Whispers to Baymax* OK Baymax, listen in to what they’re saying.

Cora: *Whispers* I set your volume to vibrate and text. Just in case.

*And so Baymax listens close to the two.*

Dunder: Big fan right here.

*Baymax vibrates with the face of a liar.*

Liv: And I’m a big fan of yours Bluff.

*Another lie. Hiro and Cora look at each other than at Baymax as he looks at the medicine book.*

Dunder: So Liv, about your latest research-

Liv: Well, my team and I are working on a cure for a rare disorder.

*Baymax gives out a ding, which is the truth.*

Dunder: Ooh, tell me more. I’m not an expert but I’m quiet knowledgeable on the subject.

*Another lie. Cora looks around to see that thankfully, aside from the occasional vibrate, nobody is too bothered. She sighs in relief as she puts down her menu.*

Liv: We’re still in the development phase, a key component to the cure is actually gold.

*Baymax’s belly lights up with the truth.*

Hiro: Gold?

Cora: How would she incorporate gold to a cure?

Dunder: Well that sounds like an expensive ailment. *Chuckles*

Liv: Oh Bluff you’re too much! But you’re right, it would be expensive. But luckily I only need the tiniest amount.

*Baymax shows that is a lie.*

Hiro: Huh, so she needs a lot of gold.

Cora: Where could she get that much gold without going bankrupt?

*That’s when Hiro’s phone vibrates with texts from Gogo saying that Mr. Sparkles is at the docks now.*

Cora: Darn it!

Sydney: so are you ready to order?

Hiro: Sorry! We have to go! *Gets up to suit up*

Cora: Here’s a tip for your troubles! Thank you!

*She slips a ten dollar bill to the man as Baymax waddles after the two teens. Meanwhile, the two adults, Kaguya and Kage, arrive at the hidden grotto close by the docks of San Fransokyo. Kage had to use his Baymax as a life raft while Kaguya pulls on the string to direct Baymax to their path. Once they reach their destination they see Orso Knox with the three sirens tied up with very strong sea weed.*

Muya: Hello Baby sister.

Uma: You brought the human with you?

Lula: And a robot?

Kaguya: Enough chit chat. The only reason you have not been brought over to Oceanus is because you three apparently heard something about Sycorax.

Muya: As if we ever tell you!

Kaguya: On the contrary…You three would not have a choice.

*She pulls out the metal oval which opens up a little segment where it requires a thumb print.*

Lula: It couldn’t be!

Uma: You brought the oval of truth!

Kage: The.. oval of truth?

Kaguya: It is a very powerful machine that takes the blood of those in question and tell whether or not the person is being truthful… or a liar.

Uma: Well… if we’re gonna do this… then at least you two should participate as well…

Kaguya: What do you expect us to give in return?

Muya: We heard about an interesting story about a man who had built a lab by the sea..

Lula: Who planned to eradicated that pitiful city of San Fransokyo…

Uma: Who had crafted a robotic crab to do his bidding…

Muya: Come on Baby sister… aren’t you curious about what we have to ask the man who created a star?

*Kaguya looks at Kage who is looking a faint uncomfortable about their words. But ultimately he sighs and looks at the sirens.*

Kage: Fine, in exchange for your answers… I’ll give you mine.

*And so they each pressed their thumb onto the small opening.*

Kaguya: I swear to tell the truth. *Passes to Kage*

Kage: I swear to tell the truth.

Muya: I swear to tell the truth.

Lula: I swear to tell the truth.

Uma: I swear to tell the truth.

Knox: I swear to tell the truth.

*But to Kage all he heard from Knox was a growl, but Kaguya nodded to tell him that he is participating to tell the truth as well. Once its all passed around Kaguya presses the top of the oval shaped metal where it soon starts to levitate and cracks form to light it up which leads to a deep, booming voice.*

Oval: The Blood Oath has been settled. You each are to tell the truth to whatever question you have to each other. You can only ask one question per person. Should any of you lie… there will be consequences to pay.

*At the docks of San Fransokyo, the captain of the ship is confronted by the mutated Mr. Sparkles.*

Captain: I don’t know who you are?! But get off my ship!

Sparkles: What do you mean you don’t know who I am? I’m Mr. Sparkles!

*He does random poses to show off, but the captain still has no clue about the mutated man child in front of him. Finally he gets frustrated.*

Sparkles: Mr. Sparkles! *Points to himself*

Captain: Whatever just get off my ship!

*Looking up to the sky Mr. Sparkles sees Hiro, Cora, Baymax, and Gogo arriving to the scene.*

Sparkles: Aye aye captain!

*He tries pushing the large cargo but found himself unable to push it, until the chip inside him gives him a temporary strength boost that pushes it off the ship.*

Sparkles: Woah! Gotta watch my own strength!

*And so, pushing the button on his bow tie he is quickly dressed in an underwater suit to swim.*

Sparkles: Bon Voyage!

*And so he dives off before the four could land on the ship.*

Cora: Did Liv inject Mr. Sparkles with steroids? Cause that was a huge crate!

Gogo: *Looks over the ship to the water.* Great.

Hiro: Skymax can bring underwater gear.

Gogo: *Sighs* I guess I could wait here.

Cora: What do you mean?

Gogo: I don’t have underwater gear.

Hiro: Actually, Cora and I have been working on that.

*Soon enough the four skymaxes arrive with their underwater gear, which for Gogo left her pretty impressed. After they don on their underwater suits Gogo swims around and tests it.*

Gogo: Oh yeah, I like it!

Cora: Knew you would love it Gogo.

Hiro: I see him!

*The four spot Mr. Sparkles trying to push the crate away, trying to summon the insane power boost he had earlier, but nothing happened.*

Gogo: Sorry Sparkles but you should’ve had a better plan.

Sparkles: Hey don’t be so harsh I’m on my own here!

*But Baymax’s lie detector says otherwise. And soon enough the mutated High Voltage come out the shadows to face the four heroes.*

Cora: Is that High Voltage?!

*Baymax’s stomach dings with the truth.*

Sparkles: Go fish!

*Soon the two dancing eels join hands to throw a bolt of electricity to the four heroes. The four swim out of the way as they try to form a plan. But each zap gets faster at the four keep dodging.*

Gogo: Now what?

Cora: Hiro, Baymax and I will try to get Mr. Sprakles while you keep High Voltage busy. They can’t blast electricity forever, they’ll tire out!

Hiro: For now, point forward.

Gogo: OK… *Point her arms forward* But why would-Augh!

*Pointing her arms forward acts as a propeller to swim faster.*

Gogo: That was pretty awesome!

*Gogo swims forward to High Voltage as she dodges the out of the blasts until she pushes one out of the way. The eel swims back to their partner but Gogo keeps punching them out of the way.*

Hiro: Omega Danger! Sonic blaster!

*Baymax activates his sonic blaster which blasts away the eels far and far away from them.*

Gogo: Got any more freaks helping you Sparkles?

Sparkles: Uh huh, that big guy. right behind you!

*The four turn around only for Baymax’s belly to light up with a lie. Now it features Mr. Sparkles swimming away pathetically.*

Gogo: Do you guys wanna get him or should I?

Cora: I got!

*Cora swiftly swims in front of Mr. Sparkles, ready to punch him in the face which causes Mr. Sparkles to flinch… only for Cora to use her finger to boop…*

Cora: Boop.

*Which soon releases a large electric shock that stuns him for a moment before he looks up to see Baymax and Hiro behind him. But before Baymax could hold him, High Voltage wraps themselves around Baymax’s legs which soon fritz out his suit.*

Baymax: Oh no.

Gogo: That’s it!

*She activates her arm propellers where she swims around them so fast that she created an underwater tornado that trapped High Voltage and soon enough Mr. Sparkles. Soon they are slammed to a rock.*

Gogo: So, had enough yet?

Sparkles: *To High Voltage* Aren’t you two supposed to be the muscle?! This is embarrassing!

*When High Voltage shrieked, Cora’s eyes widened as she heard instead… their voices.*

Barb: Oh shut up you pint sized twerp!

Juniper: Like any help you were!

Sparkles: Fine, I’ll take care of this myself.

*He pulls out a controller from his pocket which soon activates the crane on the ship to dump massive metal crates onto the young heroes.*

Gogo: Hiro! Cora! Heads up!

*The four try to swim as fast as they could but the more metal crates that fall, the more they are trapped by it. Realizing they would soon be crushed, Hiro gives out an order.*

Hiro: Baymax! Aqua-Fist!

*Baymax fires his aqua fist which creates a large hole for all four of them to swim through before the final crates could crush them.*

Gogo: Great! They got away!

*While they were busy with swimming for their lives, Mr. Sparkles and High Voltage got away.*

Cora: At least they didn’t get the crate they wanted. What’s in it anyway?

Hiro: Can you open it Baymax?

*Baymax rips the crate open to reveal a crate full of gold bars.*

Gogo: That’s a lot of gold.

Hiro: And that’s a lot of proof they’re working for Liv.

*Meanwhile, the three villains swim away towards their destination.*

Sparkles: Darn it! Liv is gonna be so pissed when she learns about this!

*But while they were swimming, High Voltage heard something from the distance…*

Sparkles: Lucky for me, I’m not one who’s body could make sushi right?

*He turns around to see that High Voltage had skedaddled.*

Sparkles: High Voltage? Ladies?…. Oh no.

*As of while the group of Mermaids, a human, a monster, and a robot prepare to ask their questions.*

Kaguya: This goes to you my… sisters. What did you hear about sycorax?

Uma: For one, this Liv Amara has been poking around the bay searching for coral and certain sea snakes.

Lula: Two, they have been, in human terms, been illegally harvesting oysters and glowfish.

Muya: And this recent bit where she is searching for a large crate of gold for a certain disease.

*The Kaguya, Baymax, Kage, and Knox turn to the oval of truth which soon responded.*

Oval of Truth: Truth.

Kaguya: Now what are your questions?

Muya: Is it true that your…son in law, is a giant who’s blood is tainted with wires and circuits that form inside his body?

Kaguya: Yes… thanks to his accursed mother.

Oval of Truth: Truth.

Uma: Good.. has there been any… accidents that involved with your granddaughter and her mermaid blood?

Kaguya: *Turns to Orso Knox, recalling how he escaped because Cora was able to understand him* Yes… just recently she had communicated this man. His genetics that contained the whale DNA allowed for her to talk to him.

Oval of Truth: Truth.

Lula: Finally… did you tell the half breed about her mermaid blood at all?

Kaguya: She does not know and I want to keep it that way till she is ready.

Oval of Truth: Truth.

Muya: *Chuckles* You know baby sister, from what I heard about your half breed granddaughter is that she has a knack for discovering things… don’t be too surprised when the moment she learns about her blood she would never want to talk to you again.

*Kaguya tightens her fists as small cackles of sparks light up. Kage looks at the sisters with an frown.*

Muya: Now we come to the Land Boy*To Kage* Was it true that you had a labotory that had all the information of the citizens of the city?

Kage: Yes.

Oval of Truth: Truth.

Uma: Did you ever look up information about Liv Amara prior to your supposed ‘demise’ that you never told anyone?

*Kaguya looks at Kage as her eyes start to narrow in question.*

Kage:…Yes… One way I learned is because… Nozako Mizichio had been the one to give Liv Amara the money to build Sycorax in the first place. But that’s was all I knew before now!

Oval of Truth: Truth.

*Kaguya looks at Kage with shocked eyes.*

Kage: I’m sorry… I didn’t want to frighten you nor my brother… nor my niece…

Lula: Now to the juicy bit. Did you really plan on whisking away the half breed because you thought she was your lover reborn? That she is Chara? So you could plan your 'Happy Sugar Life"?

*Kage’s eyes widen when he heard Chara’s name, which soon raises his suspicion higher. So did Kaguya… but a part of her did want to hear about Kage’s past intentions to her granddaughter. Orso Knox eye’s had widened when he heard more about Kage, realizing that this man is not as innocent as he appears. Kage sighs as he looks up to see the sirens.*

Kage: Yes. I did plan to make Cora be my Chara.

Oval of Truth: Truth.

*Orso Knox looks at the man with shocked eyes as he couldn’t believe the fact that he had planned something so revolting.*

Knox: How could you do that your own niece?! Your flesh and blood?!

Kage: She’s not biologically my niece! I was so desperate to have any semblance of joy, gain back what I had lost with Chara that I clung her memory to her!… I lost my mind… I thought I could never be happy again… Cora was the closest I ever had to Chara…

Oval of Truth: Truth!

*Kage turns his head away as he sees Kaguya looking at him with concerned eyes, ashamed of his past actions. Kaguya then goes forward and places a gentle hand on his shoulder.*

Kaguya:…Kage… what do you feel about Cora now?

Kage: *sighs* All I know is that I hurt her immensely… when I was getting to know her as my… former self, I found myself enjoying her company, that I saw her as family… But the other part of me.. the one where I was Obake.. pushed away familial love for…*Sighs sadly* I don’t know if I could ever truly mend the wounds I inflicted on her, and no doubt that she would never forgive me.. but I’m ready to show that I am no longer the monster she feared so long ago… I want to enjoy her company again as an uncle… and be part of a family again…

Oval of Truth: Truth!

*Kaguya’s eyes softened, as memories of the adventures Kage indavertantly had with Big Hero 7 and such start playing in her mind. He really did change and make an attempt to heal. Even memories of Cora being comfortable of being in the same room as room blossomed.*

Kaguya: I believe you Kage.

Oval of Truth: Truth.

Kage: But there is one thing I’m curios about… *Turns to Sirens.* This goes for all three of you.

Muya: What ever you say Land Boy…

*Kage pulls out the baby blue scrunchie with the initials C.B sewn inside.*

Kage: She always wore this as a good luck charm around her wrist and at her cheerleading performances…why did I find Chara’s lucky scrunchie in the cave you brought me?

*The Oval of truth turns to the three sirens.*

Muya: I have no idea what you are speaking of land boy.

Uma: Who even is this Chara you speak of?

Lula: And what makes you think we would know about some land girl?

*That is when the glow of the Oval turns blood red, its light flashing through*

Oval of Truth: YOU ALL LIED!

*Before they knew it all of them, sans Baymax is down to the ground, feeling a large pressure on their hearts.*

Knox: What is going on?!

Kaguya: If someone dares to lie their hearts will be crushed! They must tell the truth soon!

*the sirens’ try to breath heavily to preserve their breathing, while Muya keeps slapping her tail to the water, which is emitting an echo that is leading to two eels on their way.*

Muya: shut if off!

Kaguya: We took an oath!

Knox: Just confess!

*Kage, despite having his heart be close to crushing, looks at the sirens’ with a glare that spoke certain death. Baymax tries to join to help them but he is zapped away by the oval.*

Oval of Truth: NONE SHALL INTERFER TILL THEY TELL THE TRUTH!

*Just when it seemed like the end for them-*

Lula: THE REASON WHY THE SCRUNCHIE WAS THERE IS BECAUSE WE KIDNAPPED THE STUPID LAND GIRL 16 YEARS AGO!

Oval of Truth: Truth.

*Finally the pressure on their hearts elevates, allowing them all to breath.*

Kage:…*Not believing what he’s hearing* What?

Muya: *Smacks Lula upside the head* Why did you say that?!

Lula: Would you prefer for us to be flattened tuna?

Muya: Fine! *Turns to Kage* The truth is that we had started collecting humans to be our bodyguards and handmaidens. And Chara was on our list. But you were always be her side so luring her away would be risky… till we heard of two certain things from the seagulls…

Uma: They do have the habit of spreading gossip around the docks.

Muya: One is your little accident at the school… and two of your elopement! *Chuckles* Young love… for a prodigy you sure made such ridiculous decisions based on hormones and foolish fantasies!

Lula: You should thank us really. When we got to the arrival, nice choice on choosing a spot nearby the sea by the way, we saw your Chara wearing white. With her blue scrunchie and sapphire necklace around her neck.

Kage: My engagement necklace…

Lula: That’s when we saw a woman clad in black ready to strike her down with an axe.

Muya: She was a tough one, she tried to resist our song but we managed to freeze her in place. But during the commotion the girl fell off the ledge with the lady ripping off the necklace trying to stop her from falling…*sighs* But fall she did.

Uma: I managed to swim her to safety while the other two coated the woman’s robes with fish blood to make her believe she committed the gruesome deed. Though along the way she hit her head, cause when we brought her to our island, she couldn’t remember her own name!

*The three sirens’ laugh at the memory of their successful kidnapped heist which only caused Kage to run towards them and grab one of them by the throat.*

Kage: WHERE IS SHE?! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO HER?!

Uma: Uh uh uh! Remember… only one question at the time.

Kaguya:…You’ve been kidnapping those humans far longer than I thought.. *scoffs* I guess the other time when you took my granddaughter and her boyfriend were just you three being sloppy huh?

Muya: Screw you Baby sister.

*That is when Orso Knox comes forward, picking up all three of them up from the water pool and growls after he pushes off Kage to Baymax.*

Knox: I have not asked my question for you three however…Where are the humans you are keeping?!

*Baymax looks down to see two eels swim towards the monster.*

Baymax: There are two eels swimming rapidly towards Orso Knox.

Kaguya: what?

Knox: AUGH!

*High Voltage wrapped their bodies around the monster and shocked him, making him drop the mermaids as he howled in pain. Once dropped the eels then used their teeth to cut through the strong sea weed which allows them all to swim and escape before they could even move.*

Kaguya: *Picking up Orso Knox* Are you alright?

Knox: Sort of… *Pants* Those two were certainly strong for common eels.

*Kaguya turns to see Kage staring at the scrunchie… his eyes soft with memory as he gently strokes it.*

Kaguya: We will find her… I promise.

Oval of Truth: Truth.

*And so, the oval closes and shuts down, having completed its job as it floats to Knox’s claws.*

Knox: Lets get you all home. There will be no doubt about your disappearances today.

*Later on at Sycorax, Liv Amara had received news from Sparkles that not only had Big Hero 7 interfered with her gold heist, but somehow High Voltage managed to overcome their chip controlled hypnosis and scampered off to sea.*

Liv: I am sick and tired of Big Hero 7 getting in our business!

Chris: I know right?

*Chris presses the button to take them down to Liv’s private lab.*

Liv: We need gold! We’re running out of time.

Chris: I know right?

Liv: Would you stop saying 'I know right?’ and be helpful?

Chris: I’m sorry… right?

Liv: Not. Helpful.

Chris: Right…*Pulls out the cupcake with gold flakes* Chris-cake?

*Liv doesn’t say anything as she steps out of the elevator and into her lab, annoyed at her genetically engineered assistant.*

Chris:…It worked before…

Liv: To counter Big Hero 7 I need something… special.

*She looks at the torn apart meteorite as she thinks over what to do with Big Hero 7.*

Chris: Oh your good.

Liv: I know right?

*At SFIT the entire gang is chilling at the robotics lab. Gogo is setting up her electro-magnetic suspension bike while Hiro and Cora play ping pong with Honey Lemon and Wasabi with Baymax acting as the scoreboard. That is when Fred comes in with a green and tacky beret in place of his regular beanie.*

Fred: Bonjour Friends! What do you think of my new hat? Like, Love, or Double love?

Honey Lemon: Its.. uh… nice!

*Baymax’s belly rings up with a lie from Honey Lemon.*

Fred: What do you think of it Wasabi? Like it? Love it? Double love it?

Wasabi: Look at the time! Gotta go to class!

*Baymax’s brings up with another lie.*

Fred: Ummm why is Baymax buzzing?

Baymax: I buzz to indicate Lie-

Hiro: Love of hats!

*Baymax’s buzzes with Hiro’s lie.*

Fred: Aw, thanks Baymax!

Hiro: Ah We-we have to go!

Cora: Yeah Fred! Hiro and I are gonna with Baymax right now. Seems like we have a little problem with a chip.

*Baymax’s belly rings up with truth as Hiro and Cora push the nurse bot out the door.*

Hiro: See ya! And nice hat!

*Baymax’s belly buzzes with Hiro’s lie.*

Fred: *looking at the reflection with his beret* Yeah, this is good. This is working.

Gogo: *Pops bubble* Fred. No.

Fred: Not good?

Gogo: Nope. Not good.

Fred: *Gestures to everyone else* But-!

*Honey Lemon grunts as she shakes her head, meaning that if she doesn’t like it, it really was poor taste. Fred rips off his beret and leaves it at the ping pong table. Once Fred leaves Honey Lemon turns to Gogo.*

Gogo: Destroy it.

Honey Lemon: Right behind you sweetie!

*She pulls out her chem ball to turn the beret to dust, never to stare at the tacky green beret on Fred’s head ever again. Meanwhile Cora stands up on her tip toes and takes out the lie detector chip and places it in her skirt pocket.*

Cora: There we go! We’ll insert the lie detecting chip much later!

Hiro: Cora, its almost time for class.

Cora: Right behind you! *To Baymax* Grandmama just texted me. She and Kage are coming over to meet at the quad, I want you go there to meet up with them. Till then, see ya later!

*And so the two teens go through their classes like everything was fine, though Cora’s eybrow raised at the added rule of No Baymaxes allowed in class.*

Chris: Your next meeting is downtown at three and you have a conference call-

Liv: About my special project I have a mission for you.

*She uses the phone to show Chris his orders on what to do.*

Chris: Ooh~ This should be fun! I’ll have it tonight.

Liv: Good! In the meantime, go to SFIT and see if you can get close to the Mizichio kid.

Chris: Understood.

*Soon they were off their separate way, one doing her usual business and the other making his way to SFIT. Once Chris is there he spots the two teens seated down with their robot joined by the girl’s grandmother, a man with a red streak in his hair… and another Baymax…huh. Putting on his brightest smile he walks over and greets them.*

Chris: Heya! How ya doing?

Cora: Doing fine… Chris? What are you doing here?

Chris: Can’t an old buddy say hi once in a while?

Cora: I only worked one day.

Kaguya: Excuse me, who are you young man and why are you invading my granddaughter’s privacy?

Chris: Oh! Sorry, I’m Chris. I’m Liv Amara’s assistant. And from what I heard you must be her Grandmother! Nice to meet you.

*He holds out his hand to which the old woman holds it hesitantly. *

Chris: And who could that man be?

Cora: He’s my Uncle, Kage Mizichio.

Kage: Hello Chris… its nice to meet you.

Chris: Nice to meet you too!

*That is when he looks down to see at Cora’s lap the very book that their intern was looking at… and so far from his genetically perfect eyes he is reading what leads to a rather interesting chapter in the book-*

Cora: *Slams book shut* Sir, I appreciate if you don’t look inside my book.

Chris: Oh! My apologies Cora. It’s just that it looks very interesting. It said something about Lilac and rosemary being used as a tonic?

Kaguya: Yes. I should know cause my daughter wrote that.

Chris: Ooh! You have a daughter? Must be Cora’s mom right?Where is she I’d love to hear from her.

Kaguya: My daughter is dead.

*Chris blinks as he realized what he had done wrong.*

Chris: Oh I am so sorry I did not mean to sound unsensitive. Anyway, I came to see how Cora’s doing since the incident. Now I know she’s alright. Thank you, may all of you enjoy your day!

*But as Chris starts leaving Cora remembers something and quickly stands up.*

Cora: Wait a minute!…There’s something I want to ask…

Chris: *Grins as he turns around with a smile* And what would that be Cora?

Cora:…Could I talk to Liv Amara? If she could still see me that is…

Chris: I think we can arrange that perfectly.

Cora: OK…

*And so Chris leaves, with a feeling of uneasiness ringing through the teens.*

Kaguya: He’s certainly pushy.

Kage: Definitely.

Cora: He got a look in my book! I’m sorry Grandmama.

Kaguya: It is not your fault. Besides, its not like he has photographic memory right?

Cora: Yeah… oh! There’s something funny that happened to our Baymax earlier.

Kage: And what would that be Cora?

Cora: We were playing two truths and one lie, and when I got to my turn I said the following. One is that I learned to talk when I was four, went botfighting when I was thirteen. And the final one was that I’m a mermaid.

Hiro: Really Cora? You couldn’t come up with a better lie?

Cora: It was last minute! So before, Baymax called out Wasabi’s and Fred’s lie, but he didn’t say anything about my lie!

Hiro: Huh. But that’s when we found out he can figure out he can spot liars.

Cora: I know right! It was probably just a minor glitch. I checked it over and now it seems fine. Seriously Baymax, what are the chances that I’m related to mermaids? Or even the chance that they exist?

*Hiro and Cora laugh at this as Kaguya and Kage look at their Baymaxes, both of them giving eyes that said not to say anything. Both Baymaxes nod as for a brief moment, a picture of a face appears with his finger out signaling a shush movement.*

Kaguya: Yes… just what are the chances…

*Soon enough, Cora is with Baymax, his lie detector chip inserted back as she held tightly her book in her bag. She could almost laugh at herself… she swore to never go back but here she is… Soon enough she is in Liv Amara’s office.*

Liv: Hello Cora.

Cora: Hi Miss Amara…How are you doing?

Liv: We’ve been doing fine. The real question is how are you? It has been some time since that incident… but I can’t imagine how frightened you must’ve felt when you were captured.

Cora:*Remembering Orso Knox’s words* Yeah… it definitely felt real…

Liv: I also see you brought the robot here.

Cora: Yeah… Baymax is here with me because of certain issues…

Liv: Like family issues? Chris told me about your Uncle…he sounded interesting.

Cora: Yeah… I have certain questions to ask if you don’t mind that is.

Liv: Its fine! Its only fair after what happened.

Cora: Though to be honest Baymax is currently dealing with a bug or too.

*Baymax’s belly shows the buzz of a liar.*

Cora: Like that…*Sighs* So first off… what sort of diseases have you been dealing with?

Liv: Well… there’s a rare disorder that I’m really working hard to find a cure for.

Cora: Really? Well I hope you do find it…though that does raise the question on what type of items will be used for the cure?

Liv: I can tell you that a main component is gold.

Cora: Gold… that makes sense. It is bio-compatible and safe for eating… to be honest why would anyone even eat gold?

Liv: It could just be what they find fun.

Cora: I could think of plenty of other uses for gold other than food, like using it to rebuild impoverished towns… did you ever consider using gold to help Mr. Knox while he was still here?

Liv:…I have not considered using any gold on him.

*Baymax’s belly lights up with the face of truth. Cora sighs before she finally chooses to spill it out.*

Cora: Miss Amara… would you say that you were the ones creating the monsters all over town?

*And once Cora spills out those words her heart stopped. She scolded herself for being so brash and knows that this is the point where she has officially lost any semblance of contact with Liv. She turns to Liv who calmly says her answer.*

Liv: Liv Amara did not create the monsters.

*Cora turns to Baymax to see…that she was telling the truth… No…but then…Orso Knox said…but all the things…*

Liv: Cora? Are you alright?

Baymax: You’re heart beat is accelerating and your breathing has shortened.

Cora: I’m sorry Miss Amara… I need some water…and a bathroom.

Liv: Its down the hall to your right Cora.

*Cora leaves the office, her heart and mind speeding against each other with this news. And Baymax, being the faithful robotic companion he is, quickly follows her… and during all her panic she had left her book. Hardly believing her luck Liv quickly grabs the book and opens it. Her eyes glitter with excitement as she finds herself intrigued and fascinated by all sorts of tonics and elixirs that managed to combine herbs and roots and even some of marine life to help those. She especially found the cure for Yellow Diamond back Venom interesting…that is when she finds it… a page…*

I had debated with myself whether or not I should share this with my daughter Akemi, but this potion is the main reason why we both are what we are today.

I never imagined that this could hold such potential. What was once a legend became a reality… a reality I brought forth with my own hands.

This elixir…this miracle. I’ve been experimenting it recently and found that it has other unique effects… my daughter brought it once to an injured wolf (Bless her gentle heart) with a severely torn leg. When the wolf consumed it.. it had healed him up!

When I first attempted to create it I thought I was a fool. A dreamer.

But this dream is now reality..

This is the-

*And the page cuts off.*

Liv: What?! *Flips through page* There has to be more!

*She searched through the pages of the books, searching for the missing page of the book to find what this elixir is and what sorts of ingredients does it have to be so powerful to heal a wolf with such a serious injury like this? As of while Cora finally calms down after splashing water on her face, with Baymax patting her back. She smiles for a bit till she remembers something important.*

Cora: My book!

*Liv Amara hears the footsteps of Cora to which she quickly and carefully places the herbal book to its bag and be seated just in time for Cora to arrive.*

Cora: *Looks at book* Oh thank god, Its here!*Looks at Liv*… you didn’t look at the book did you?

Liv: No I did not.

*Cora sighs as she walks out the door…both unaware that Baymax had heard both of them…and he buzzed with Liv’s response. After saying their goodbyes Cora contacts Hiro and tells him what happened.*

Hiro: Wait a minute… She said she DIDN’T create the monsters and Baymax said she told the truth?

Cora: Yes! That’s insane! Orso Knox told me that she was the one who turned him into what he is today!… None of this makes any sort of sense.

Hiro: We’ll figure this out together Cora. You got my promise on that.

Cora: Thank you Hiro.

*Liv Amara sits on her chair as she ponders about her new discovery… this elixir… there’s a high chance that something like this is bound to be so powerful that they don’t want anyone else to discover…perhaps it could be a cure to-*

Liv: You’re getting a head of your self. First, get the gold. Then, you’ll learn more about this elixir… just in case…

*That night Chris is at the woods where he is carrying a box of honey to lure in a bear. Once he opens up the box he jumps up the tree to hide. The bear came for the honey trap as predicted and as soon as it starts eating the honey Chris jumps down and lands on the bear’s back. This causes the bear to roar as it tries to shake off the human until it finally did. The bear growls at the man as a warning before he walks away. And Chris is able to get what he came for: A clump of the bear’s fur.*

Chris: Gotcha!

*He goes back to Sycorax where Liv Amara starts scanning the bear fur onto her machine.*

Chris: You know… I actually took a peek at the herbal book you talked about… it certainly does hold a lot of promise. From what I read Cora’s mother had created a tonic that contains Rosemaries and Lilacs.

Liv: Hmmm very interesting…Almost done…there.

*Once she completes her work the genetic make up of the bear merges with the innards of Bessie where it shuts it doors to merge the two together. The merging process was so strong that it used all the power of Sycorax to make a black out… until it surges back up again. And so the doors opens to reveal the biggest chimera that Liv Amara ahd ever created.*

Chris: Its perfect.

Liv: Goodbye Big Hero 7.

* Around that time Hiro and Baymax are at home where Aunt Cass is presenting her new dish for Hiro to test out.*

Cass: I hope you’re hungry! I came up with a new recipe today and I think you’re really gonna like it!

*The bowl she presented is a concoction of acai, strawberries, blueberries, and… steamed salami…*

Cass: Acai and Salami bowl!

Hiro: *Apprehensive* Oh…

Cass: I know what you’re thinking. Do those things go together? And my answer is yes! The sweetness of the berries mixes with the funk of the salami to bring full body flavor!

*Cass scoops up a spoon and brings it to Hiro who is currently leaning away from the chimera made bowl.*

Hiro:*Forced grin and quiet voice* Oh I bet it does…

Cass: Go ahead, taste it!

*And so Hiro has to eat the food…his expression spoke volumes that Aunt Cass sadly did not catch on. Hiro finally swallows it down.*

Cass: Well, what do you think?

Hiro: Oh.. its.. umm.. tasty..

Baymax: Your dilated pupils and forced grin indicates you are-

Hiro: Loving it!

*Hiro stands up and tries to push Baymax up the way.*

Hiro: there’s been a glitch or two happening on Baymax so excuse me please!

Cass: What about your Salami berrie bowl?

Hiro; *Calling out to Aunt Cass* I’ll..finish it later!

*Cass looks ta Hiro weirdly before she takes a bite of her creation… she did not like it.*

Cass: Blegh! Can’t believe Hiro likes this!

*Hiro places Baymax to his charging station as he sits down on his chair to get to work.*

Baymax: Hiro, why did you lie to Aunt Cass?

Hiro: I didn’t want to hurt her feelings by telling her I didn’t like what she made.

Baymax: But that is the truth.

Hiro; But saying that would be mean.

*Baymax blinks at Hiro in confusion*

Baymax: And lying is good?

Hiro: No ugh… Lying is wrong… in general… But sometimes in certain situations people lie so other people don’t get hurt. *Sighs* Its complicated.

*As of while at the Mizichio residence, Cora had just finished up washing the dishes after having supper. But while she washed the dishes she had gotten a large stain on her yellow tank top and some on her skirt.*

Cora: *Sighs in frustration* Dang it!

*And so Cora heads up to her room and changes out of her clothes to her night gown, figuring she might as well go brush her teeth and start preparing her bed. But while she is away at the bathroom their Baymax is around, collecting dirt laundry when he found the dirty clothes. He picks it up and places it with the rest of the clothes…not noticed the lump on her skirt pocket. Baymax places the first pile of dirty laundry(Bright colors) and starts its time. But a few minutes in it starts hearing a crunch… A very loud crunch.*

Baymax: *Peers inside* Oh no…

*Cora gets back only to see her dirty clothes gone… and hear the crunching at the washing machine. She zoomed her way towards the crunch to see Baymax leaning in to pull back the laundry… with the pieces of the lie detector chip littered around it.*

Cora: Oh dear god no!

*The next day, Hiro brought over his packed lunch of Acai and Salami, to which Cora took notice.*

Cora: Wow…that is.. uh…something…

Baymax: Hiro lied to Aunt Cass about liking the Salami Acai berry bowl.

Cora: Hmm…*To Hiro* Too bad we couldn’t get close to Liv after the lunch mission.

Hiro: Its OK Cora… besides there’s other times that we can catch up with that chip.

Cora: *Looking rather uncomfortable* About that Hiro… Ya see…

*She then tells then that last night their Baymax was doing laundry and that she had accidentally left the chip in her skirt. When she realized what happened she pulled it out and saw that its permanently damaged.*

Cora: I’m sorry Hiro…

Hiro: No no! That was an honest mistake.

Cora: You think?

Hiro: I know, you never lied to me.

Cora: Thanks Hiro.

*Soon enough Gogo joins the three with her lunch.*

Gogo: What are you eating Hiro?.. and why?

Hiro: Don’t ask.

Gogo: How’s it going with Liv?

Hiro: Due to an unfortunate accident the lie detecting ship was destroyed. But even if its gone I know in my gut that Liv is behind this.

Cora: Mine too… its been that way since the day I met her.

Gogo: Well I’m sure your guts will figure something out.

*That is when her phone buzzes up with a text.*

Cora: What’s up?

Gogo: My phone. *Looks at her phone* There’s a monster robbing the San Fransokyo Trust.

Hiro: As in the city’s gold reserve?

Gogo: Yeah.

Cora: Monster, gold, this is definitely Liv Amara behind it!

Gogo: Ultra-Armor! Lets go!

*And so, after pushing Baymax out of the table, Big Hero 7 flies off to San Fransokyo Trust to stop the monster.*

Fred: Big Hero 7 in Ultra Armor! Gonna Fight a big scary monster~! Which monster do you think its gonna be this time huh guys? High Voltage again? Mr. Sparkles? Ooh! Or Momakase! Hadn’t seen her in a while!

*The monster in front of them is neither of those people. It is a monster hybrid of a rock and a bear.*

Fred: Or a totally new rock monster! So…

Wasabi: Big!

Fred: Awesome!

*The Rock Chimera slams its claws to the vault.*

Hiro: Guys! Protect the vault! We can’t let it get that gold!

*And so four of Big Hero 7 charges after the monster, with Gogo taking the lead as she throws a disc to get its attention. The Monster now regards to the heroes as it roars at them. Baymax soon grabs the monster from behind to which it tosses them away before grabbing Fred and slamming it back and forth. It throws Fred to Honey Lemon which soon leads Wasabi charging in to fight off the creature to which it releases a powerful that soon wipes out Wasabi’s laser blades. *

Wasabi: Guys help! I’m outta power!

Gogo: Gotcha!

*Gogo zooms to Wasabi’s rescue before the monster would slam its rock stone claws to end him. Once Wasabi is safe Gogo goes back to the fight while Honey Lemon joins in using her chem trail. Fred lands a fire blast before Baymax flies in after them, to which the two teens recognize the familiar green glow emitting from the monster.*

Hiro: A rock monster knocking out our tech-

Cora: You don’t mean its-!

Hiro: Bessie! *To Comm link* Guys! Its a Bessie monster!

Wasabi: *Hiding somewhere* Yeah! My gear’s totally dead!

*Meanwhile Fred is currently being juggled by the chimera rock*

Gogo: I think its part bear.

Fred: That sounds about right! Also help!

Honey Lemon: *Running in while throwing a chem ball lasso* Leave him alone!

*The chem lasso soon wraps around the rock bear chimera’s paws to which finally frees Fred, but it also allows for it to pull Honey Lemon forward to face it up front. Honey Lemon quickly dodges before she is blasted by the beam. But while she was running the bear hits her successfully, destroying her chem purse.*

Honey Lemon:Oh no!

*The bear roars and charges after her.*

Honey Lemon: Definitely part bear!

*Honey Lemon runs away from the chimera as Gogo zooms into the rescue.*

Gogo: Hang on Honey Lemon!

*Gogo throws her disc to hit the chimera so it can diverts its attention from her girlfriend. Soon enough the chimera is after her, where her speed and hits allow her to give a few good hits before it zaps Gogo’s wheels, making her immovable as she falls down to the floor and knocks out the rest.*

Hiro: You want the gold? You’re gonna have to go through us!

*Baymax lands in front of the vault as they prepare to face off the chimera. Soon the chimera and Baymax are in a face off as Cora pulls out her hand and squirts ink into its eyes. The chimera roars as it steps back to wipe off the ink from its eyes. Once it gets a good view it soon blasts Hiro and Cora off Baymax and into the floor, now rendering their own powers useless. They look up in time to see Baymax be sent flying off the air and slammed to the vault.*

Baymax: I have been hit…

*and so Baymax shuts down.*

Cora: Oh no!

Hiro: Baymax!

*The two could only stare helplessly as the bear walks forward to Baymax and the vault. It starts ripping the door when Baymax’s rocket fist soon comes up and knocks him in the jaw and slamming it to the ceiling.*

Cora: Baymax you’re alright!

Hiro; How did you do that we thought you were hit!

Baymax: I lied.

Hiro and Cora: What?

Baymax: So that you two would not get hurt.

Hiro: Thanks buddy.

Cora: *Hugs Baymax* You’re the best.

*But their moment of friendship is cut short as the chimera gets up and blasts out loud, filling the entire building with green light. When the dust settles Baymax is lying down, Hiro and Cora are on the floor with the boy shielding her. When they get up they see the vault completely empty of gold and the Chimera.*

Honey Lemon: Are you two OK?

Hiro: Yeah but Bessie got away.

Cora: And taken the gold with it.

Gogo: Looks like Liv got what she wanted.

*And so they all head back home, trying to rest up from their failed mission and think over their thoughts. Hiro soon pulls out his phone to call Cora, who is currently making preparing for bed.*

Cora: Hello?

Hiro: Hey sweetie, how are you?

Cora: As decent as one would be after being slammed by a rock bear chimera.

Hiro: Yeah, I suppose so.

Cora: Hiro… I really mean it that I’m sorry I got the chip destroyed. But what good did that happen… she flat out said that she didn’t create the monsters.. but I know she did!

Hiro: I told you its fine! Sides, even if the chip was here it would probably won’t do much help. Liv is smart so she could find a way to lie about it and not get caught. All we have now is out gut feelings.

Cora: Yeah! Sooner or later Liv is gonna make a mistake and we’re gonna catch her in the act!

Hiro: Exactly… We all know that Liv Amara is behind the monsters no matter what… but the question is why?

*At the Sycorax lab, Liv Amara is heading to the pod that contained the person inside. Wiping off the frost reveals a woman… who looks like her but slightly older.*

Liv: Good news! I got the gold. I promised you I do whatever it takes… Liv.

*That very same night, far into the southwest pacific lies an island where inside is a sinkhole. One would think it is unhabituated but no… there were people there living in the sink hole. And one of them is ready to scale up the wall, dressed in an oversized wool coat, red scarf, a blue oversized Russian cap with a black bill and a gold button, and a worn white dress covering her bare feet. The person looks back to see one of them, a sweet, latin woman in her 50s, looking at her with worried eyes as she held in her hands a cloth bag filled with clams, coconuts, and berries for the person. The person goes forward to the woman and accepts the bag, hugging her tightly with small tears trickling down her eyes.*

Sweet Woman: Are you sure about this? I know its been days since the sirens’ have left, but you could hurt yourself! What if they catch you?

Person: And what if they don’t? Abue, this could be our chance to leave… to go back home. Its now or never.

Abue: *Sighs* You really are stubborn… Take care mi Nina.

Person: Thank you Abue.

*And so the woman climbs up the sink hole, loosing her footing only twice before she gets up to the land. The woman carefully takes her steps through the sand, for the first time stepping in something dry, before she runs towards the trees where she found a hidden boat that the sirens had kept from them. Once there she quickly sets up with gathering more food and coconuts for her trip. She looks at her necklace and sighs softly. The necklace was composed of a worn out shoe lace… and a beautiful heart shaped sapphire in the middle. She pushes the boat out to sea where soon she paddles her way out. The older woman sighs as an older man who is of Irish origin goes to comfort the lady.*

Lincoln: Judith…she will be alright. San Fransokyo is the closest to land safely… and it is where she is from.

Judith: I know… but I worry. Now her memories are returning… her face brightened when she mentioned about her city, her school… and her love.

Lincoln: Do you worry that those she loved had moved on?

Judith: Yes… but you are right… After all.. she is stronger than she looks.

*They look up to the star lit sky and moon, showing the face of a young woman with Strawberry blonde hair and green eyes, holding her necklace close to her.*

Judith: May your journey to your past bring you home at last…Chara.

A.N: And that is Lie Detector! So whatcha think? Didn’t expect that to happen huh? I am aware that new episodes are coming much later to which yay for me since finals is coming! Sorry it came so late after it ended, but I had to tweak it a little! Love you all and thank you for reading Big Hero 7!

By the Grace of Granville

(Warning: This post is long. But what else is new when it comes to character analyses?)

One of the bigger mysteries that gets introduced into Big Hero 6: The Series made their introduction in the very first episode, got a little bit of expansion into their background, and then didn’t really see much daylight for the rest of the series sand her becoming an even-numbered wheel. No, I’m not talking about Obake.

I’m talking about Professor Granville, the newly-installed dean of the San Fransokyo Institute of Technology.

People, including myself, play Granville up as some sort of Nick Fury-esque figure. She’s always in the know, gives advice to the team, and seems to have a general understanding of everything at once.

This is further helped by the fact that we don’t know a lot about what she has been up to since she resigned after Obake’s accident. It’s hindered by the fact that there may be some misinformation going on at the Big Hero 6 Wiki.

Here’s the introductory blurb for Professor Granville on her page:

Grace Granville has been a professor at the San Fransokyo Institute of Technology for at least 20 years, having taught Wendy Wower and Trevor Trengrove among other modern day geniuses.

She used to teach robotics and had her own star student, Bob Aken, but once he began an experiment to build an energy amplifier, it went awry as the amplifier exploded on his face, the result of which sent him to the hospital.

Though Bob survived, Granville felt extreme guilt from the incident and resigned. However, she kept the remains of the amplifier, possibly unaware that it still worked, as a reminder to not repeat the same mistakes.

She would return decades later to teach thermodynamics when Robert Callaghan, the dean of the institute at the time, was thought to have died, then resurfaced as the villain Yokai and was arrested for putting San Fransokyo in danger. Professor Granville became the college's new dean as she settled into her new role quite well. Now, after rewatching “Mini-Max”, I call into question the very first part that she’s been a professor there for at least 20 years. As far as I am aware of, that has never been said or confirmed in the show. She said herself (and the yearbook and Callaghan confirm this) that she worked there 20 years ago. That’s not the same thing. Working there for 20 years is not the same thing as being there 20 years ago. So is that a discrepancy or am I the one who doesn’t remember things correctly?

And let’s go to what Callaghan said about the incident when Hiro went to visit him in prison in “Mini-Max”:

Robert: “She was in the lab after hours. Something went wrong. There was...an incident.”

Hiro: “What kind of incident?” Robert: ”Officially, a pipe burst. But there were rumors. An unsanctioned project gone wrong.” Hiro: ”So she was fired?”

Robert: “She resigned. The matter was not pursued further. That’s all I know.” OK, first of all...was Callaghan not the dean twenty years ago? And even if he wasn’t...

Does anyone think that was caused by a simple burst pipe? What was in said pipe? Lava? TNT? Mentos and Coke?

That leads to the second possibility: Callaghan was Dean at the time, knew about it, and “pushed” Granville to resign to avoid a messy lawsuit.

But we’re getting away from the original point, which is...what exactly has Granville been doing this entire time? I find it hard to believe that Granville was still at the school when Tadashi, Go Go, Honey Lemon, and Wasabi were there. You’d think that one of them would have said something about it, and all through the conversations in “Mini-Max” gave no indication of that as well.

So she’s been gone for twenty years (presumably). Which begs the next question... Why did she have to become the dean? Endangering a student’s life is a very serious thing. Something like that can’t be just forgiven. So, why did it have to be her? It’s not like there’s not other candidates:

(From left to right: Monica Rambeau [one of the Physics professors], Grace Granville, Robert Callaghan, Linda Carter, and Timothy Dugan. Note that these are merely names I’ve given them based off of who I think they are and not canon names. However, for the sake of simplicity, I will refer to them as such from here on out.) Monica might have been a good replacement. Linda’s just the nurse, so unlikely. Dugan’s the Dean of Athletics, so probably not. The dean doesn’t have to be the robotics professor, right? Granville teaches Thermodynamics. And then you have Professor Kameela from the comics, who appears to be another Physics professor:

So why her?

Granville’s been out of the game, as far as we know, for a long time. Did the board at SFIT really have no other options other than Granville? Why give the top job to someone who hasn’t even stepped foot in SFIT for decades?

And the worst part is that I don’t really have a good answer for that. The show delves into Granville’s history with Obake a lot and not enough into her actual history with SFIT, so that part is pretty much an unsolved mystery.

And if the info on the Wiki is true, then that means...what? Granville was teaching for 20 years, and then took a 20 year break. Wouldn’t that put Granville in her 60s, at minimum? (She looks pretty good for possibly being in her 60s. Maybe she got some Infinity Formula from her possible Marvel counterpart.)

I think it’s much more possible that she’s in her early 50s. That gives her enough time to be a professor, have an actual working history, and then have to leave with Obake’s accident. So my personal timeline for her career would be something like this. For the sake of being simple, let’s assume that Granville is an even 50, and also that Big Hero 6 the movie takes place in the year 2031 (as per movie screenshots):

1981 - Grace Gretchen Granville is born 2002 - Graduates college (perhaps at SFIT; haven’t thought that far ahead) Sometime between 2002 and 2004 - Granville begins her work at [Redacted] 2005 - Granville become a TA in the Thermodynamics department (as per Highway to Hell Chapter 2, “In The Details”) 2006 to 2007 - Given government assignment to [SORT OF Redacted] 2007 - Returns to SFIT 2007 to 2011 - Becomes thermodynamics professor at SFIT; continues periodic work at [Redacted] 2011 - Obake’s accident; Granville resigns from SFIT 2011 to 2013 - Takes a position with [SUPER Redacted] in Symkaria 2013 - Returns stateside and [Redacted] 2013 to 2031 - Various jobs and positions, including start-up at Fathom Blue Incorporated and a instructor at the San Fransokyo Police Academy with Sara Pezzini 2031 (Current Time) - Granville becomes Dean at SFIT (Keep in mind that this is a sliding timeline which is subject to change. Probably.) Man, that’s a lot of redacted information. It’s almost like she worked for a secret government organization and did a lot of things that aren’t on the public record or something.

I am going to delve into Granville’s history in future stories, and that will include something that I’ve done a fanart on. Mainly this:

The Wakanda story is going to happen at some point, and it’s going to involve one of the redacted items above (from 2002 - 2003). What exactly she was doing there is going to stay secret for a little bit. Speaking of which, I had done research on a few pieces of Wakandan technology. Guess which one I found of particular interest.

The Kimoyo Beads. A bracelet given to every single Wakandan citizen that stores all of their medical information and serves as an everyday tool for them. It also notes that it doesn’t work outside of Wakanda because of its reliance on tapping into Vibranium as a power source.

Now, what would happen if a very realistic version of Vibranium were to find its way out of the country and into Granville’s orbit?

I wonder if her bracelet would start working again. Mysteries abound when it comes to Grace Granville. If we’re lucky, maybe we’ll solve a few of them before too long.

Investigation... start?

ONLY NOW, TSUMUGI? ONLY NOW?!

LMAO is this why you were so afraid of the sci-fi genre?

I guess he never expected K1-b0 to use it? Or he was hoping K1-b0 would use it on another student? In terms of firepower though it’s not exactly subtle - so it probably isn’t the latter. Monokuma just made the assumption that he would never use it... which means he knew about inner voice/piece of hair, then?

With that said I guess it isn’t programming coded in K1-b0 then but an actual antenna of sorts if removing it caused him to go haywire. So was he getting instructions from someone? Is he really Chiaki 2.0 then, but just entirely unaware of it? He did mention that there was an incident in his lab way back when, so if this was a preventative measure...

Those... aren’t necessarily the same thing, are they? The truth of why they’re here + the mastermind - they’re related, sure, but they’re different pieces of a greater puzzle...

I’m laughing because if my theory from way back when is right, it makes sense that Tsumugi of all people would be questioning whether there’s a mastermind or not. Well, I guess this is the chapter to find out if I’ve been right or not. 8′D

I was about to say, ‘unless they planted a robo-murder-bear and died with everyone else’ but no, thanks to Kokichi’s plan and how he managed to isolate Monokuma, the mastermind has been established as someone existing in the same shared space as the rest of them. Way to show their hand, Kokichi!

It’s nice to hear Maki say it out loud. 8′D From the sounds of what people are saying we’re not going to hear that much in the way of Maki actively trying to redeem herself - with that said, I may push to read between the lines via her actions and silent pauses to see if there’s any room for interpretation there. Fair warning in advance!

THE 17TH STUDENT....

No. No, I refuse. 8′/

There were no more than 16 people on this island spaceship.

....

There were no more than 16 students on this spaceship. there K1-b0 I got you in there for sure

I guess despite Kokichi being proved as not involved, the cult was confirmed as the Remnants after all, right?

WHAT NO DAMN IT HE’S NOT A REMNANT STOP TRYING TO MAKE REMNANT OF DESPAIR KOKICHI HAPPEN TSUMUGI

LMAO MAKI FOR FUCK’S SAKE THAT’S LITERALLY THE ATTITUDE THAT BROUGHT US CHAPTER 1 AND 5

lmao through the tears that is

“No seriously Maki. Seriously. We literally just walked out of the trial maybe an hour ago tops. Can you, um. Just. Chill please. Just for a second, okay?”

Library.... and Rantaro’s lab? Rantaro’s lab?!?! :D

WE ARE NOT THROWING AWAY OUR SHOT!!!

Kokichi is rolling in his fucking grave with the truth and lies theme. You know that, right? or he would be if he had a body left to roll you know what that’s not really the point -

I’m not used to Sweetcheeks being Mr. Positivity but it’s an interesting look on him! And that’s a good point - they’re going to have to figure out where to go back to after everything is done. Whether they have to stay here, or figure out what’s left back home to salvage if there really are still people alive out there which, you know, it sounds like there is...

This is d-d-d-d-daaaaanganronpa!

Well, then again, it kinda worked out for the SDR2 cast? Sorta? Via the power of hope and friendship? .... Maybe you guys should hold onto that hope theme after all.

DAMN IT SHUICHI KAITO WOULD BE SO PROUD OF YOU RIGHT NOW

POUR ONE OUT FOR THE ROBO-BOY

*flips table* RANTARO’S LAB I WANT TO KNOW HIS TALENT I’VE BEEN CRAVING WASABI FOR WEEKS CAN WE PLEASE GO TO HIS LAB!!!!

So a magician mage, assassin, a cosplayer and a detective walk into a killing game school -

I’ll be curious to see if Himiko and Tsumugi’s talents come into play at all here. I know we had the magic show way back in Chapter 2, but still - fingers crossed!

Introvert friendship, man. 8′) I’m glad they’ve made up though. They’ll have stuff to hash out in the future, but I feel like they can at least trust each other now in a way that they couldn’t before the trial - and most importantly, hopefully Maki has learned she can rely on Shuichi and not have to go at things alone!!

INVESTIGATION - START!!!!

Y-YEAH ACTUALLY I WAS JUST GOING TO SAY -

U-Um, okay! I don’t know if we should really be letting everyone out of sight considering we just established the mastermind is in the academy with us (though I guess everyone is still hoping it’s someone outside of their group) - LOOKS AT A CERTAIN BLUE-HAIRED GIRL IN PARTICULAR - but okay!

ANYWAY BYE EVERYONE I’M GOING TO RANTARO’S LAB

.... is what I was about to say but then -

ROCKS FALL

EVERYONE DI - oh wait too late for that now

WHAT THE HELL

?!?!?!

also where’s Miu to make a comment about a large hole and ‘going in deep’ when you need her

what

a time limit - what -

Are you telling me that we’re powering up Shuichi’s slapping hand with the power of friendship -

S-SOUNDS WEIRD, BUT OKAY

What the hell were we supposed to use, a giant mecha drill?! Was Shuichi just gonna chuck it at the ground ala the hammer from Chapter 3? I guess we were due to get another area unlocked because we would lose at least 2 people in the next ‘round’ of the game, so it makes sense that there was one more area!

Well, um. Here goes nothing!

[Fanfic, 100% Orange Juice] Drabble Pack 1

A/N: I love drabbles. I enjoy writing them, I enjoy the skills they teach me, and I think overall they’re super fun to do. There’s something about having to fit stuff into exactly 100 words that fires up my creativity, and one of the greatest benefits of Tumblr over blogspot for me might actually be that it’s a more suitable format for them.

Originally, these were posted separately. I’ve compressed them into one entry here for the purpose of archiving. They’re mostly drabbles (100 words), although there are a few droubles (200 words) mixed in, which I’ll mark.

Paperweight

Kyoko, like a scolding headmistress, continued pacing in front of Saki. Her hair was singed. “Why are we here?” she asked. “...Because I blew up the kitchen.” “My kitchen. On my birthday. ” Saki winced. Inside her head, she had put herself in the category of 'bad houseguest'. “Why did you blow up my kitchen?” “There was a gust, and my newspaper–” “So you hastily put something on the newspaper.” “Yes.” “And it was a stick grenade.” “I'm sorry!” Sighing, Kyoko put down the plate of cake that survived the blast. Slowly, deliberately, she pushed her friend's face into it.

Monocle

A backless evening dress with a plunging neckline. A flashy hairstyle out of a fashion magazine. A disarming, lascivious smile. That was all it took to get an invite to a party for the rich and the famous, although her only concern is the former. “Wow, boss. You look killer,” Tomato says, her face set in awe. She basks in the admiration of her underlings, but keeps her goal in mind. She checks her make-up, her earpiece, the pistol strapped to her thigh. Everything is ready. “Alright, Warudas! It's time to begin the operation,” Yuki announces. “Let's make some cash.”

Bodkin There is a blade, spoken of in legends; sharp enough to tear through skin, small enough to conceal in the palm of the hand – a necromantic blade for stitching together the remains of the dead. And now, she holds it in her hand. A few stabs as practice: it whistles through the air, sings as it dips into the body, snck-snck-snck, as quickly as she dares to use it. “Truly, this is the sword of my soul,” she mutters, holding the needle to the sky. “It befits only one such as me... Krilalaris, the dark witch of home economics! Ahuhuhuhu...”

Ascot (Drouble)

QP struggled, but found no purchase with her wrists tied behind her back with scarves, and the rest of her tied to the chair she was sitting on. All she could do was rock her seat. “I thought you had changed! You said all you wanted to do was enjoy pudding and play games! You tricked me with that bet!” “Quit that. You lost, so you have to play the penalty game,” Yuki taunted. “I have so many exotic puddings for you. Soy sauce, wasabi, curry powder... no expenses spared. I even made sure to tie you down with something soft, so your poor doggy wrists don't hurt.” The world went black as Yuki selected another scarf and bound it across QP's eyes. She found her senses already sharpening against her will. Her skin prickled with goosebumps as she felt Yuki's fingertips brush against her cheek, before trailing down her face to settle underneath her chin. “All you have to do,” Yuki whispered, uncomfortably close to her ear, “is identify five puddings, and I'll untie you. Should be easy, right?”QP nodded with what she hoped look like confidence. “Good. Now,” Yuki purred, “Be a good girl, and open wide.”

Spider

"Eeeek!" Within a second Suguri burst into action, flashing across the hall in a heartbeat. As if it had been a choreographed dance, Hime rushed out of the bathroom and leapt into her arms. "Suguri! I saw a --" "That's a washcloth." Hime looked up at her with teary eyes, close enough to see the fineness of her eyelashes. Then she relaxed into Suguri's arms and assumed a coy grin. "I wanted to see if you would catch me." Suguri rolled her eyes. She did a lot more eye-rolling these days. “I ought to drop you.” But she didn't.

Curlers

It was meant to be a quiet evening – snacks, pyjamas, truth or dare where everybody picked truth. Then Krila found the perm rods, and decided they made her look like Medusa. Syura, predictably, ran with it. “Sir Aru! Cleave her in twain with your mighty greatsword and save Princess QP!” Syura the cleric yelled. Aru didn't have a greatsword. Aru had a standing lamp. Dark Krilalaris surged forward. Her foot came down on a lone cup of pudding left on the floor. A terrifying silence descended upon the room. Tearing off her lampshade tiara, the true final boss revealed herself.

Marching Band

She soars through pillowed clouds, a blue sky stretching out before her. A soldier older than any other, she counts only the birds as her brothers in arms; she has outlived the war that created her, but not the peace that she made from it.She touches down before a cottage with a thatched roof, where an old friend waits. She is singing a song as old as either of them, a melody from their youth. The song ends and Sham smiles, arms open to greet her; and at last Sora knows that she has finished the long march home.

EARLY MORNINGS AND OVERTIME | Chapter 2: A Healing Meal

Pairing: Nanami Kento x Reader (fem, first person pov) Word count: 1851 Fic Summary: A smutty fic in which Nanami Kento brightens up the mundane, flour-dusted life a college dropout working in a bakery. Chapter Summary: Friday night post-work dinner and drinks with Nanami find our baker enjoying herself more than expected. Warnings: None yet.

Read on AO3. Masterlist. Please feel free to ask me to correct anything in the above info, this is my first fic and I want to be sure I'm following all fic-posting etiquette. Ty!

5 pm. That day.

Tank tops, cardigans, and dresses are strewn over my shoulders as I rummage through my overcrowded closet. I continue to pull fabric off the various hangers, pausing to press my thumb and middle finger against my right wrist each time it begins to ache from the movement. Every shirt I swipe a glance at is either too patterned, too plain, or somehow a mix of both. I try to shake the indecisiveness from my head as I wonder, Why are my nerves so high? Is this what it feels like to have a crush again? Wait, is this a crush?

Since I presume he will show up in the same grey pinstripe suit he wore earlier, I opt for a dress that's both appropriate for work and after-work dinner + drinks attire. For this I choose a simple navy blue snug yet professional sleeveless dress that rests halfway down my thighs. Helping my confidence is the fact that said thighs, and calves, are accentuated by the pale pink pumps on my feet. I add a few simple gold rings, tiny hoops that cuff my earlobes, and put my hair in a high-ish ponytail. I brighten my eyes with concealer, blend bronzer along the crease of my eyelids, and dab highlighter in each inner corner. A few extra coats of mascara, some liquid blush, and a matte nude cream lipstick completes my look. I haven't put this much thought or time into my outfit or makeup in months. Maybe Mei Mei was right, I deserve to have some fun on another person's dime.

One look at the clock and I know I have to leave now if I don't want to rush on my walk and end up sweaty. It kind of feels good to leave on time for once.

I walk back towards the shop at a leisurely pace, not even minding that I'm taking the same steps I usually dread on my daily commute. This feels different, maybe because I'm actually looking forward to what waits at the end of the walk.

I round the last turn before I reach the storefront and although I don't know this man at all (including his name), I'm not surprised he beat me there. I take a quick glance at my phone, his timing was exact.

"Hi, you mean it when you say 6 o'clock, huh?" "I take my working schedule very seriously," he quickly replies.

"Yeah, I hear that," I respond, recalling every single morning I clock in at the last possible moment and leave the second it's quitting time. "So, what's your name?"

"Kento Nanami."

"Nice to meet you Nanami, you can call me _____."

"The pleasure is mine, ______. Let's get to it then." He turns on his heel and gestures for me to follow his lead. Without thinking I follow, seemingly forgetting every instinct that would normally prevent me from blindly trusting any stranger. Well, former stranger may be more accurate.

"So where are we headed?"

"I figure since you likely spend most of your time in a bakery, you'd prefer something a little different for tonight." Still doesn't answer the question. How can he be both so straightforward and vague at the same time?

"You guessed right. What's the opposite of baked goods? A sushi bar?"

"Now you've guessed right. It's just around the corner here." He's still sporting a serious, though kind, look on his face, though he did seem to quicken his step as we round the corner to the nearby sushi bar. I'm familiar with this one since it's not far from work, though I've never actually eaten here due to the unaffordable pricetag on most of the menu.

With one hand Nanami pulls open the door, using his other to wave me in in front of him. I shuffled past, noticing the subtle yet alluring scent of his cologne. A perfect mix of sweet like vanilla and a little bit dark, like tobacco.

The hostess at the front of the restaurant looks up at him and immediately begins to smile, greeting him as if they are familiar with each other and wasting no time to walk us to a table by the front windows. If he can afford to be a regular here maybe I won't feel so bad about ordering from such an expensive menu.

As I lower myself into the soft leather chair Nanami had pulled away from the table for me, I looked around. Nearly every single person at the bar or in the surrounding booths and tables were dressed similarly in suits or dresses with heels. The restaurant was dimly lit but far from dark, I could still make out the intricate overhead light fixtures and beautiful finish of the wood on the bartop. It was somehow both fancy yet cozy, I can see why he may frequent this spot.

It also happened to be slightly more romantic-looking than I expected. I thanked my past-self for choosing a dress that fit my body a hell of a lot better than my apron did.

After taking a moment to observe my surroundings, I turn my attention back to the quiet man across the table from me. I guess it's up to me to make conversation. I figure I'll start with the lingering question I'm a bit nervous to get an answer on.

"So, how exactly do you plan to heal the ache in my wrist, Not Dr. Nanami?"

He smirked at that title and opened his mouth without letting the smile fall. "By means of distraction," he replied matter-of-factly.

"So you're saying it's all in my head?" Defensiveness begins creeping in and his smile dropped.

"No, not at all. Why don't you tell me three things about yourself, and when you're done I'll do the same."

Slightly caught off guard, I began to think, reflexively averting my eyes from his gaze and looking to the side. I quickly wracked my brain for interesting things to say about myself.

"Three things, okay. Well most importantly I'm not actually a baker or anything like that, I just happen to work in a bakery. I'd much rather spend my time reading or even cooking, but I needed the job ever since leaving school." I was already rambling. "Second thing is I don't usually take strangers up on their offers to mysteriously heal my-" I paused. My wrist - it felt... lighter all of a sudden.

He stared back at me, patient but with knowing eyes as if he knew what I was going to say next.

"It feels better, doesn't it?" he asked. Was that a grin slowly lifting the corners of his mouth? I stared a second too long.

"It does. It doesn't hurt at all anymore. What did you do?" "I told you, just a distraction," he said in a casual manner while slowly leaning back in his seat. I sensed there was more to the story than this, but didn't press for more. The relief I feel is enough for me not to ask another question.

"So you never finished," he went on.

"Never finished what?" I stared back.

"Telling me three things about yourself."

Oh, right. I got distracted at two. Was it really just a distraction, or does he genuinely want to know?

"I guess the third thing about myself is that I hate mornings. I really love sleeping in."

"And yet you work in a bakery?" he mused while I shrugged my shoulders.

"Yup, kinda relates back to thing 1, I need the job," I said while slouching a bit in my seat.

"Well I feel the same way, if I had it my way I wouldn't start my workday until 10am," he began as my ears perked, "Technically I wouldn't work at all if I truly had it my way."

"Cheers to that," I say in a joking tone yet with full sincerity behind my voice as I raise the stemmed glass of champagne the server seemed to have brought without prompting. Another perk of being a regular?

"Cheers," he responds while raising his own champagne flute.

I held his gaze, not breaking eye contact until the bubbly sip worked its way down my throat, warming my chest.

After setting my glass back down I scanned my eyes over the menu, one thick page of rough paper printed onto the front of sturdy leather back.

"I suggest the wasabi tobiko with qual egg," he shares as I skim that portion of the menu. He's suggesting caviar? Guess I know my next question for him.

"So it's your turn, tell me three things about you. Why don't you begin with what you do?" I internally laugh at my lack of subtlety.

"Simply put I take money from the wealthy and make those people even more wealthy. Can't say I enjoy it, in fact I've grown to hate everything the corporate culture represents. I'd much rather spend my day making people happy with baked bread than money."

I opened my mouth to interject with a joke but quickly shut it when I realized he was being sincere.

"Second," he went on, "I actually enjoy a few of the things you listed yourself. Reading, cooking, enjoying a drink after work," he gestured to the table between us, "are all the simple pleasures in life I like to occupy my time with." I stared, wondering if he truly meant it or if he was just saying that to copy my own admission. Though so far he has been nothing but genuine. "And third," he continued, "I don't normally help other people the way I did with you today."

"Oh?" I couldn't help but prod involuntarily.

"I tend to stay out of other people's business," he explained while sipping his drink. At that moment the server returned to ask for our orders. I chose his earlier recommendation while he ordered a bottle of white wine for us to share. Maybe I can see the fun in letting others buy me things after all...

"So you stay out of people's business, and yet here you are providing unsolicited help to me along with asking me to describe details about myself over dinner?" I couldn't help but poke at the obvious.

He continued to hold his relaxed posture, but let out what I assume is the faintest chuckle at my question. "Both of those things are correct, yes," was all he had to say on the matter. Again with the straightforward-meets-vague.

I guess two can play that game. "Well like I said I don't typically take strangers up on the offer but here we are."

He continued to stare. I stared back. Oddly enough it wasn't uncomfortable. By now the wine had been poured and I found myself simply enjoying the moment, savoring the taste of each sip, and peering over the top of the glass to the polished, though still mysterious, man sitting across from me. As tired as I was from the workweek behind me, I could begin to see why most people look forward to spending Friday nights anywhere but home.

Day By Day .26

INSOO

We made our way towards the restaurant, the three of us walked side by side with Eunji in the middle. Seyong had insisted on it, he still hadn't slept much, I'm not sure how he was functioning on that much sleep. I was hoping he'd go back to sleep last night but he hadn't, he just kind of laid there and muttered to himself. I managed to get a few hours sleep between his conversations with himself, but eventually gave up and about eight this morning and decided to get up and slowly get ready for lunch.

I was right about Seyong wanting to come, well actually, I asked him if he wanted to come to lunch and he said no. That was until he found out Eunji was coming, then he insisted on going. I don't really understand why he's so worked up over this, I mean I understand that it was a horrible thing to dream but why would he dream it in the first place? From what I understand he stop Hymen before he actually didn't anything damaging.

"Should we look around while we wait for Ji?" Eunji asked.

"Sure," Seyong nodded.

"I'm just going to give her a call to see where she is,"

"Okay, we'll meet you inside,"

I pulled my phone out and dialed her number, when the phone just kept ringing I was a little worried she wasn't going to answer.

"Hey, I was going to message you," her voice filled the receiver as I was about to end the call.

"Yeah?"

"Yeah, I'm running a little late, I just have a meeting at the university. I should only be 20 minutes, you haven't left yet have you?"

"We're already here but we can just look around while we wait for you. Just message me when you're here and we'll come to the cafe,"

"Okay, I shouldn't be too long,"

"See you soon,"

SEYONG

"Where's Ji?" Eunji asked over her shoulder while looking through racks of clothes.

"She's going to be a little late,"

"We'll just have to look around until she get's here, unless you want to go and sit in the cafe until then," Eunji paused what she was doing to look at Insoo.

"Let's look around," Insoo shrugged.

We wondered around a small market, Eunji was busying herself searching through racks of clothes. She was pretty much back to normal this morning which was nice to see, though her outfit was making me uneasy. Well, technically it wasn't her outfit, it was the looks that the males around us were giving her. Do they not have anything better to do then objectify her?

"You'd look really good in this," Eunji stated with a serious face holding a 60's style floral dress up to Insoo.

"I just don't think I have the shoes to match," he sighed.

"I'm sure we could find some," she laughed.

"I don't know, I wouldn't want to out shine Jiyeon,"

"You're probably right," she nodded putting the dress back, he laughed and patted her head. She frowned at him and swatted his hand away.

Why was she so comfortable with him? He seemed to have no problem getting close to her or having her be comfortable around him. I don't know why it bothered me so much, they were friends and he was dating her sister, but why couldn't she be like that with me?

"What do you think?" she asked holding up a dark blue hooded jumper with a pink ribbon for the pull strings. She was looking directly at me but I wasn't sure if she was talking to me or not.

"Seyong?" she frowned.

"Oh, it looks good,"

"So you like it?" she tilted her head slightly.

"Yeah," I nodded. Why was she suddenly interested in my opinion?

"Good," she smiled draping it over her arm while she continued looking.

EUNJI

I looked at the jumper for a while, or at least it felt like a while. If I were a guy I'd wear it, or if I were dating the guy who owned it I would borrow it. I still hadn't thanked Seyong for helping me with the Ha Min situation, well I had, but maybe I should get him a thank you gift? I mean it's not like he fix a cabinet, he saved me from what could have been a very bad situation.

SEYONG

"Let's go get coffee," Eunji stated.

"We're going to have lunch soon?" Insoo frowned.

"It's just coffee," she shrugged.

"I have studying to do tonight," she added with a pout.

"I'll go with you," I offered.

"Okay," she nodded with a smile.

"Are you coming?" she turned to Insoo.

"No, I'm going to call Jiyeon and see where she is,"

"Okay, did you want something?"

"No, I'm okay,"

"Let's go then," she smiled up at me.

We walked out of the little store after she'd paid for her jumper and walked down the hall to find a coffee shop. It was nice just walking with her.

I'd been feeling extremely guilty lately, both because of the dream and because of the way I'd been treating her. I realized I hadn't even apologized for that.

"Here," she stopped handing me the bag with the jumper she'd just brought.

"What?" I frowned.

"I didn't thank you for the whole Ha Min situation, well I did but, I mean, technically I still owed you a shirt for the coffee thing and it's cold today so I figured a jumper," she rambled.

"So here,"

"Thanks," I hesitantly took the bag.

"But I'm wearing a jumper,"

"I didn't say you had to wear it now,"

"What I mean, is that I'm wearing a jumper, but you're not and it's cold so did you want to wear it?" It was my turn to ramble.

"Oh, ah, sure," she nodded, I pulled the jumper from the bag and handed it to her.

She slid the jumper over her head, it was too big for her, the sleeves ate her hands and the bottom sat just above the hem of her shorts, if it were an longer it would look like she wasn't wearing pants.

"You'll probably have to wash it later, it's going to smell like perfume," she gave me a small smile.

"That's okay," I shrugged.

I don't think I would mind it smelling like her, she smelt like a mixture of pomegranate and cinnamon, both of which I enjoyed. We stood there staring at each other for what felt like hours, her cheeks turned a light shade of pink as she looked down at the sleeves of the jumper, she was fiddling with the hem avoiding my eyes.

"Let's go get you that coffee," I rubbed the back of my neck.

EUNJI

I felt excessively shy all of a sudden, maybe it was the fact he was staring at me. But why would his gaze make me shy?

Unless... no.

No, I'm just grateful for him saving me, and I'm clearly confusing that for the possibility of having feelings for him. I mean, why would I have any feelings for him? After everything he's done and said to me? I don't think his attractiveness and the fact he saved me one time makes up for that...does it?

JIYEON

I sighed getting out of the taxi at the shopping center, I'd just gone through everything with the doctor; foods to avoid, the different treatment methods, signs and symptoms of it possibly getting worse. He wanted to have me go in for the surgery but said that seeing as it is in the early stages that it wasn't necessary.

I really wanted to avoid the surgery option because that would mean I would have to tell Insoo, and if the medication worked then he would never have to know. I know how that sounds but you can't exactly pass the judgement unless you're in the same situation, it's not that easy a decision to make.

I messaged Insoo to see where he was and waited for him to message back. It took less than a minute. I slid my phone into my back pocket and made my way towards the cafe, they were all standing out the front waiting for me, Eunji was throwing away an empty cup of coffee as I reached them.

"Hey," she smiled at me as Insoo wrapped his arm around my waist,

"Let's go in," Insoo directed me into the small cafe.

SEYONG

Insoo sat us down at a round table next to the wall that was covered in vines and twinkling lights, there were small sections of plant pots full of white and purple flowers. Jiyeon sat next to Insoo, then Eunji sat next to her and I was between Eunji and Insoo.

"Share Tteokbokki with me?" Insoo winked at Jiyeon.

"I don't eat spicy food," she shook her head.

"Seriously?" he frowned.

"Why do you think I always cook?"

"But you've cooked it for me before,"

"I didn't eat it though,"

"Huh," Insoo frowned down at the menu,

"Why don't we just get something off the dessert menu?" Eunji stated.

"Why?"

"Because I don't feel like eating a whole meal and I really want that," she pointed at the tiramisu on the dessert page.

"Sounds like a plan to me," Insoo nodded.

"That jumpers a little big on you, where did you get it?" Jiyeon frowned at her sister,

"I bought it for Seyong,"

"Ahh, so one thing changes everything?" she muttered under her breath, I'm not sure Eunji heard her but I definitely did.

"Okay, so dessert then?" Eunji stated.

"I'll go order, what do you want?" I stated, obviously it was strange for me to offer but no one seemed to argue which I was happy about.

"Chocolate cake," Insoo close his menu.

"Vanilla ice cream," Jiyeon shrugged.

"And a tiramisu for you?" I turned to Eunji who nodded.

I went up and ordered out food, getting myself cookies and cream shaved ice and I may have accidentally ordered Jiyeon wasabi ice-cream instead of vanilla.

JIYEON

"I'm just going to go to the bathroom," Eunji smiled leaving the table.

"Was that necessary?" Insoo sighed.

"What?"

"He's beating himself up about something that never happened. And to be fair it's not like that one thing was opening a door for her,"

"I know," I sighed.

"I know he was an ass, but can you please try and be civil with him?"

"Okay," I nodded.

He was right and I didn't mean to make the comment earlier. At least not out loud. I did want to thank him for what he did for Eunji.

I waited for him to come back to the table, he sat down quietly keeping an eye on the bathroom doors. He really had assigned himself the role of guardian/bodyguard for her. All because of one dream? Then again from what I heard from Insoo it wasn't exactly an un-detailed dream.

"Sorry about earlier," I'd meant to say it but it came out as more of a reluctant mumble.

"Sorry?" he frowned.

"I ah, I wanted to thank you actually... for what you did for Eunji, if you hadn't...anyway thank you,"

SEYONG

The shock of her actually thanking me made me forget about the wasabi ice cream, until it was served in front of her. She'd already picked up her spoon as I remember.

"Wait," I said as she put the spoon in her mouth, I watched her expression change from content to what looked like she was going to be sick.

"What did you do?" Insoo frowned at me when he seen Jiyeon's face.

"I was mad at what she said earlier so I kind of...ordered her wasabi instead of vanilla. I completely forgot until now," I scratched the back of my head.

I didn't actually feel guilty until I seen the disappointment and disapproval on Eunji's face.

EUNJI

"Here Ji," I slid her plate towards me and swapped her scoop of the scoop of vanilla on my plate before sliding it back.

"I'm sorry," Seyong frowned.

"You heard her say she can't eat spicy earlier right?" I frowned at him. Hey I though he was getting better.

"I said I don't like spicy," Jiyeon stated, she's lying I know she said cant.

"We're even now?" she raised an eyebrow at Seyong who sunk into his chair a little. He nodded looking down at his food.

"Then it's fine," she nodded, but I could see the spice was already affecting her.

SEYONG

The rest of lunch had been a little awkward, Eunji was still kind of disappointed about my actions, or at least that's what it seemed like. Once we'd gotten home she made herself a cup of coffee and went up to her room to study.

The only time she came down was to make herself a fresh cup of coffee before heading back up there.

It was just after dinner when she came down, we were sitting at the kitchen table after eating. Everyone else had pretty much gone to bed or were just sitting in the lounge room. It was just myself, Jiyeon, and Eunji. Insoo had gone to shower.

She couldn't sit still, she was tapping her fingers across the table and her knee was bouncing. It didn't seem to faze Jiyeon who was flicking through a magazine, come to think of it that was strange for her too.

"What-are-you-reading?" the sentence came out of Eunji's mouth as one really long word.

"I'm looking though some of the advertising E.X.I.D do,"

"Are-you-still-deciding-if-you-want-to-sign-a-contract?"

"Mmm,"

"What-do-you-think?"

"They do a lot of different things so it's not like I'll be stuck in frilly girl clothes,"

"How do you understand what she's saying?" I frowned.

"What do you mean?" Jiyeon raised an eyebrow at me.

"She's speaking too fast to make out anything,"

"I've lived with it for so long I guess it's just second nature," Jiyeon shrugged turning back the the magazine.

"Hey Jiyeon, do you want to go for a walk? I'm bored," Insoo entered the room drying his hair with a towel.

"I don't really want to go out, why don't you talk to Eunji if you're so bored?"

"No offence but how would that help?"

"The fun part's figuring out what she said," I muttered.

"What do you mean?" he frowned.

"You-realize-I'm-right-here?" Eunji frowned,

"I have no idea what you're saying," I shook my head.

"What?" Insoo frowned.

"She said she's right here," Jiyeon turned the page.

"We-could-go-down-to-Han-River-and-run-around,"

"No,"Jiyeon shook her head.

"Why?" the first word she said that I understood.

"Because it's too late at night and you've got studying to do,"

"What does she want to do?" Insoo asked.

"Okay-mum- but-I've-finished-studying-and-now-I-have-a-whole-lot-of-energy,"

"She wants to go down to Han River and run around,"

"And how do you understand that?"

"It's not like she's speaking a different language, she's just speaking a little fast. It happens when she has a lot of studying to do and she drinks too much coffee,"

"So-can-we-go?"

"I still have no idea what you're saying,"

"Maybe you should use the energy and try to actually study?" Jiyeon looked at her sister,

"I-can't-stay-focused,"

"How much have you actually done?"

"I-just-have-to-go-through-the-notes-I've-made-before-the-tests-the-hard-part-is-done,"

"If those two want to take you down then fine," Jiyeon shrugged.

I gave Insoo a look, it was way too late at night to take her down to Han River.

INSOO

Seyong was pleading with me to say no, I considered it. Then I thought that maybe if we take her down there he'll see that she's fine and stop playing guardian? Then maybe he'll sleep more than an hour.

"Go put something warmer on," I stated.

"Are you getting back at me for what happened at lunch?" he waited for Eunji to leave the room before he spoke.

"Why would I do that?"

"I wouldn't worry too much, she'll pack up all of her books and get changed and then she crash and go to sleep. You wont even make it out of the house,"

SEYONG

Jiyeon was right, ten minutes later I went upstairs to see if she was ready and she was asleep across the bottom of her bed. She was still wearing my jumper, I'm not sure if she even remembered she had it on. Her hands had been eaten by the sleeve and she was using the hood as a pillow. I carefully lifted her bridal style to move her into her bed properly, as soon as I lifted her she moved. I froze thinking she'd woken up but she just nuzzled into my chest letting out a soft sigh.

INSOO

I went up to see what was taking them so long, he was gently placing her down in her bed. A small smile found its way to his face. I'm not sure if he realized it but she was changing him bit by bit, and his feelings for her were growing each day.
