WHAT: Setsubun! Bean throwing!! Family dinner!!!
WARNINGS: Teenagers

[Demons outside!
Good fortune inside!

. . . or maybe just an excuse for not-at-all homesick teenagers to throw sweet-crunchy roasted soybeans around the rooms of the house (presumably to invite good fortune in and not just to make a mess), or at anyone who wants to play the part of a demon and be chased out. There's a few bowls of soybeans and paper oni masks around for those who want to join in on the fun.

Unfortunately, due to the absolutely deplorable state of the local supermarket, there's a decided lack of thick, unsliced sushi rolls. They tried, they really did. But as it turns out, defeat might not be a bad thing: instead of sushi, a large electric skillet and two platters dominate the dinner table. One is stacked high with sliced nappa cabbage, mushrooms, onion and cubes of firm tofu; the other has thin strips of beef, ready for the pan.

The first sizzle of cooking meat might just be enough to call out anyone still lingering away from the fun, but if not, at least two helpful birds will poke heads around doors. After that, it's an every-person-for-themselves battle of can you get that piece of meat just as it's finished cooking? Or will that mushroom be stolen just as the sweet soy sauce broth marinates it to perfection?

That's the fun of sukiyaki though, it's the best of family and celebratory meals. And there's been a lot worth celebrating.

Demons out. Good fortune in.]

I shouldn't HAVE to!!

[Have a high-velocity onion to the face, Hazel.]

You want food so bad or something, here! Take some!

[and that bounces right off her forehead to absolutely no reaction, even with the small welt from impact showing immediately. in fact, all it serves to do is make Hazel burst into laughter.]

Fucking hell dude, you don't need to feed me. You're the one who's having problems getting shit to your mouth!

[remember those mushrooms, Tetsuo? there's an entire bowl being flung at you now. AND SHE IS READY FOR SOME OR ALL OF THEM TO BE THROWN BACK DON'T THINK SHE'S NOT]

[Tetsuo's eyes widen, and the mushrooms abruptly halt midair.

Pause.

He slams his fist down on the table. That's it. That does it. He's had enough of this shit.]


Only 'cause you keep getting in my way!

[Aaaaand off to Hazel they go. This is all Hazel's doing, every last bit of it. This is called 'still having a problem actually eating the food...]

You're like, just barely taller than I am. If I'm getting in your way then you really need to get your shit sorted out.

[the one and only time Hazel will take cracks at her height herself: when they make for a really great jab at someone else.

but hey, she figured that Tetsuo might still need a little help finding his own mouth. and could anyone blame him, with how much it seems to be running off? so when the bowl inevitably comes zooming around to her, she's ready...and as soon as it's in range punches it back where it came from.

god, sometimes she loves not have to limit herself because of human recoil. LET'S PLAY MIDAIR PING PONG UNTIL SOMEONE EATS SHIT SHE'S READY]

[Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the weirdest fucking foodfight ever fought. How are these mushrooms still edible?? How are they still in the bowl?!

All these questions and more just don't get answered as Tetsuo doesn't even bother with banter - he's got a bowl to catch and fling back. How long is this going to last?

...

Is anyone going to put a stop to this madness?]
deadtective: (fifty-five.)

[they better, because now Hazel's grabbing a handful of sizzling hot beef to hurl into the mix as a distraction for the next return loop of that damn mushroom bowl.

at this rate someone's going to leap over the table and start and actual fight. HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE]
