Gotta celebrate the love! Even if it hasn't blossomed

WHO: Mai and anybody who would like to come CR. Roommates would be amazing.
WHERE: Heropa RESIDENCE 028
WHEN: Early February, there isn't a set date so we can set it to how it would suit anybody else's timeline.
WHAT: Mai is gonna try and bake cookies? As well as just catch up with people.
WARNINGS: ...Mai doesn't know how to bake cookies. Anybody who would like an excuse to come over can just send Mai a message and she'll likely just invite her over. If you want to do further plotting, you are very welcome to ping me

I tag in prose and brackets and will match styles.

1) Her Bedroom
This girl rarely closes her bedroom door as she is happy for anybody to come in and start a conversation with her. The only time the door is closed is when she's sleeping or changing. In this instance, she's just come back from her part time waitress job and is settling onto her bed with a magazine she picked up to learn more about this world (or...the gossip of this world). There isn't much else planned for the day so she's going to waste her time doing nothing.

Although, she is looking through a few of the valentine's recipes in the magazine and sizing up what she could try to make.

2) Kitchen
Mai is going to do it. She's going to try and bake little cookies. After receiving those really adorable sugar cookies the other day, she's been inspired to try and make her own cookies and what better excuse than Valentine's day. Even though she's never baked before and likely is going to not be very good at it...at all..she's going to try and try her best.

Likely, if you have had any interaction with Mai, she's going to give you cookies the next time she sees you. ~~Very sorry.~~ Please try not to hurt her feelings too much. Right now, she's in the kitchen, lord knows how she got flour dusted all through her hair and chocolate smeared across her cheeks like she's about to go run some army drills but she's trying her darned hardest to make edible cookies for Valentines day.

Help?

3) Messages
For anybody who wants to interact with Mai but isn't able to physically come close to her. She has the power to accidentally speak to you via telepathy or she is happy to sit on her bed and go back and forth with text messages. I didn't want to create a separate post in the other comm so I'm also happy to have character spam through here.

4) Anything else you want to do with Mai? I would love to plot!

Being the observant roommate that he was, as soon as Gentarou came back from work, he walked past with a 'Hey, Mai!' and went to his room to drop off his stuff. It took maybe two minutes for his brain to process the sight he saw as he greeted Mai and, with loud footsteps coming back to the kitchen, he saw the mess.

"EH?! What happened?!"

"Oh hey!"

She called out cheerily to his back as he walked away, going back to mixing her strange cookie dough mixture that was probably a cross between dough and pudding. But she was getting there, she really was. Eventually, she'll figure out what went wrong or she'll make another batch.

And surely the next batch will be even better. But she was determined to make Valentine's great for everyone. So it was a surprise when Gen came back with that loud exclamation.

She blinks a few times and tips her head at him. "What?! What happened?"

"You! Here! This!" He said brokenly as he flails his hands around the kitchen, the mess and herself. "Everything is covered in flour! Even you!"

He hadn't even seen yet what was lurking in that bowl of hers.

"Oh! I'm baking!" That's the answer he was looking for right? The answer that explained everything that happened in that kitchen space. It was normal for things to be covered in flour like this when you were making large batches of cookies and that's what she was going with.

"O-oh." Nodding. It makes sense given the appearance of the room but, from what he remembered of the few cooking classes in school, no one really looked like that after baking. He slides over to look at the bowl in question.

"Are you making a cake?"

[ She looks down at the bowl and then back up at him like he were crazy. Although..the consistency was a bit strange...how was she supposed to roll this out and press out shapes? ]

They're going to be cookies. You know...like the really cute ones that were given out with your name on it but I want to make hearts. For Valentines!

Oh! The ones from the government money. [At least that's where he thought they were from. He may have just glanced at it]

But don't you need to use cutters to make heart cookies?

Yeah!

[ She points towards the little pile of multiple shaped heart cutters nearby. This was about the fact she needed the cutters and now how the cutters were going to work with an oozy messy batter. Right? ...She'd probably be better off trying to make pancakes at this rate. ]

I've got a few of them!

[Looks at the pile and then back to the batter. Even though he didn't bake, he knew there was a step here that was clearly wrong.]

It's it too mushy to cut?

[ She looks over the pile in her bowl and then thinks hard for a moment. ]

...doesn't it harden when you pour it out the bowl onto the bench?

[ Hesitatingly starts tipping the bowl over slightly to test the theory. ]

[And watches it continues to ooze out.]

..............it's not.

So what do you do when you see someone who you thought you'd never see again? What do you do when they're in front of you and . . . . massacring the beauty and skills of baking.

Who knows? But what Kaito does is stand there and then lean against the frame of the door with his arms crossed, staring at Mai for a couple of minutes. She doesn't even seem to notice him yet, so he keeps watching until he sees that the concoction she's making has gone down the road of, "radioactive."

"You're doing that all wrong."

Of course this is what he says as the first thing to her. Because he's Kumon Kaito and he's an asshole like that.

She was actually quite enjoying herself and this new skill of baking. She thought she was doing quite well actually, even though the consistency of the dough was a bit strange and the colour could be a little bit better but she was getting there and there was definitely enough around her to make another three or four batches so this could be a test batch! Mai was busy pouring a little more flour in the bowl to see if she could fix this when a familiar voice called out and she looked up in surprise.

The figure before her was even more of a surprise. How did he get into the house without her knowing?! And even more so, why was she here? In fact, the surprise was so great, she's flicking the bag of flour in her wrists and throwing a nice flour cloud in Kaito's very direction.

"Kaito!"

If you wanted a better greeting, you should have given her more warning.

Automatically, he shields himself with an arm, making the flour coat the black and red sleeve of his jacket before he lowers the arm and gives Mai an incredulous look, "Oi, be more careful!"

Really, this girl. He sighs and walks forward, stepping up to the table she was working at before giving everything a cursory glance. He then eyes the glop she mixed up with a wary eye before looking back at her and saying, "Have you ever even done this before?"

"I was being very careful and then you distracted me!" That was the best excuse she could come up with in this short amount of time really and she's frowning a little as he's now moving into her little baking space. She was doing well before he arrived, really she was!

...she thought she was.

And the question that he asks makes her pause for a moment before she's watching him warily. "I've read about it in my magazine?" Reading about it is the same as knowing how to do it, right? Cooking can't be that hard.

. . .

He stares at her, not saying anything. She can practically see the ellipses on his face before he strides over to her and starts arranging the things she'll need in a way that makes it easier to finish each step quickly ]

"Don't trust a magazine and next time ask for help because knowing you, you might end up blowing up the kitchen."

Not exactly the truth, but still not really a lie. Especially after seeing just how much she's gotten accomplished-- or rather, the opposite of that.

She can most definitely see that judging face. That Team Baron leader judging expression that he used to have when her team was on stage too. There's an expression that's half a pout and half of a frown as she's trying not to let him muscle in on her good work.

Yes, good work. She's tried hard to make these cookies.

"The kitchen is absolutely fine! There's just a little bit of a flour cloud. I can clean it up when I'm done."

She wasn't going to admit that she had no control over the...pancake batter that was in the bowl. Although, she could see that the way he re-arranged things was already...of more sense.

He pointedly ignores Mai's pouty face because he's seen that look before too and it didn't work back then and it sure as hell wouldn't work now. Because once he's organizing everything, he's taking the the pancake batter away from her and trying to even out the consistency of it, muttering, "What the hell did you put in this anyway?"

[ Let's just say that Micchy happens to be in his own government house, and is currently flipping through a book. It's not like he's that invested in it, but he doesn't have much to do at the moment. He's not in school, and not at his part time job, and while he finally has a friend in this world she lives in another city.

He could be going over to see her right now, but he's afraid of imposing too much. Mai is a kind person, but wouldn't it be too much if Micchy spent all of his free time around her? He wouldn't mind it, but would she want that?

He taps his foot impatiently on the floor.

Besides, Mai has apparently already made new friends. It's not like Mai is the type to abandon one friend in favor of another, but it's not like she'll be lonely without him. Would it be too needy to message her right now? No... no of course not! He did it at home often enough. The question is just what would he even say? It's not like he has anything interesting to tell her, and it seems silly to text her something with no substance.

With an irritated sigh he realizes he didn't register any of the last page he read, and hastily turns back and starts from the top. ]

[ Mai has definitely made new friends. One of them a really cute guy (when he lets his hair down) but that doesn't stop her thinking about the really good friend from back home that exists in this world.

Why wasn't he the one living in this same house as her rather than the banana that has moved in? She'll never figure that one out but she was spacing out in her room, reading her magazine and possibly thinking about her grape friend a little too much when something happens that hasn't happened before and she finds herself standing in the middle of the room that Micchy was in.

She peers around nervously. She's there but there was a very faint glow around her body indicating that she wasn't really there. Mai isn't able to interact with anything in the room around her but... ]

Micchy?!

[ What's the old saying? Ask and you shall receive? Does that apply for thoughts as well? Probably not. Certainly Micchy wasn't expecting it to, so when Mai actually appears in front of him like this he panics, and drops his book on the floor. The fact that she happens to be glowing at the moment isn't something he catches onto immediately, because as far as he can tell at a quick glance she's here in the flesh right in front of him.

Scrambling to his feet Micchy takes a couple of quick steps towards her, before pulling up short as he finally notices the glow. It might not actually give him a real idea of what's going on right now, but it does tip him off to the fact that her powers might be the reason for her sudden appearance.

It's certainly not thanks to any of his, unless the government wasn't as forth coming to what he'd been given as he thought.

Still, best to stay back for a moment until he knows for sure what's happening. ]

Mai-san?!

[ A quick look at the door confirms what he already knew. That sucker is shut tight. ]

How did you--?

[ She would be a lot more help if she had read more about her file but she didn't really. The girl spent a quick moment skim reading through it and then put it away because it was a lot more information than she wanted to spend time taking in during her first day here.

Then...possibly lost her file amongst a stack of randomly accumulated books and magazines and forgot it existed. She knows she has some powers but can't remember what they were or how to access them. Rather than surprised though, she's quite pleased that she's able to stumble across her friend again. ]

Hi! I'm not sure how I got here but is this your room?!

[ She's peeking around a little, trying to see if there was anything cute or embarrassing he might have left out. ]

[ Mai is going to be sadly disappointed if she's looking for any good dirt on Micchy here. His room is pretty... sterile. Things look like a stock photo of a bedroom, with a neatly made bed, a few neatly organized books on a bookshelf, and a desk with a computer and a notebook sitting on top, plus the government provided dresser. Everything has been put away, and there's very little individual flare to the room. Besides the computer, some books, and some clothing that Micchy has gotten for himself since coming here, he hasn't really bothered with personal touches yet.

He's not entirely sure if he ever will, but he's not all that concerned with the room right now. Mostly he's concerned with how Mai got in here, and takes another step towards her, looking careful at the strange light around her now. ]

Mm... Mai-san, what powers were you given when you arrived?
