With your baby's breath, breathe symphonies
WHO: Residents of Nonah #005, adopted members of Nonah #005, stray birds, stray cats, stray dogs, visitors to Nonah #005, neighbours of Nonah #005, people passing Nonah #005 on the street . . .
WHERE: Nonah #005
WHEN: Feb. 3
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.]

[He reaches over to pick a big piece of nicely cooked meat out of the bot. You're missing out on your food standing there, Kaneda!]
I can probably run as fast as your bike if I tried.
no subject
...Oh right...your power...
[Grabbing some chopsticks, he wields them and goes right for the next biggest piece of meat.]
You think so? Ever thought of testing that? That's pretty big talk...for little legs.
no subject
And who's the guy who keeps getting knocked down by these little legs, again?
no subject
...Yeah, when I'm not moving!
[Brb grabbing some of those veggies now.]

If you can...[Give him a moment to think.]
I'll buy you pancakes.
[Kaneda, it's just cause YOU want pancakes.]
no subject
The really fluffy ones. With fruit!
no subject
Strawberries! And...[his chopsticks tap his mouth thoughtfully.]
What else can you have on pancakes?
no subject
There's also chocolate syrup and maple syrup too.
no subject
[Raspberry sounds good too. And chocolate syrup...hell, he'll take it all.]
Alright. You beat my bike, we're getting one of everything. And if -I- win...we get one of everything.
[There. This seems like a fair deal.]

Gah, how stupid of me to forget eggs, too!
