026 [Video/Action for Cherrygrove PokéCenter]

[soggypastry]

[Hi, Johto. Hve you been enjoying your...odd weekend? Hopefully so, because it's about to get weirder. Enjoy your view of Lightning hunched over a stove in the Cherrygrove Pokémon Center, stirring something in a pot. It's an odd sight, both with her hair twisted up into a messy bun and the fact that she's...actually cooking. Anyone who knows her knows that's not a good sign. Especially when she's starting to look a little bit frazzled.]

No, no, no...come on. Don't you dare burn.

[Yes, she's talking to her pot of...something. Unfortunately, this doesn't help her with the cooking and it's with a rather frustrated sound that she takes that pot off the stove, camera tracking her movements while she places it in the sink before scrubbing her face, leaving smears of chocolate down her cheeks as she takes a breath to regain her composure. Is she giving up? Not on your life.

She's just turning back to the counter, where there's enough ingredients for one more try along with a recipe book she's looking back at.]

You could always help, you know.

[A startled "Pika!" and...end feed. Spark still enjoys being Camera-chu, it seems.]

[Sis should be suspicious right back at suspicious bro, but she's in a good mood and it's hard to be suspicious at family she trusts. Which is probably not a very good thing at the moment, all things considered...]

Leon. He came with me to get you.

[cursedwithpuns]

... Oh. That guy.

[You may sense a familiar (at least to Lightning) feeling of bitty getting a little bit... anti-Leon. He can't help it.

You're his and Serah's big sister. You don't get to have another man in your life. Never ever.]

Have you thought of making chilli chocolate? It tastes really good?

[And chilli chocolate is much easier to sabotage.]

[soggypastry]

[Oh, she can indeed sense it. Happened last time and she was just wondering when it would happen again.

...Also, she already had another man in her life long before Leon. His name is Snow and he calls her sis and she's his little sister, so...sorry, Hope. That already happened.]

I can't say I've ever heard of it, actually. It wasn't in the recipe book.

[cursedwithpuns]

My mom and dad used to love it. They gave it to me once.

[This story ends with Hope puking.]

I didn't like it much, because it was spicy. But it involves little chilli flecks in the chocolate.

[soggypastry]

[She certainly can't see it ending well; he didn't seem to be the type to like spicy food and chili is...something else.]

I'm not sure we'll be able to make that. Haven't seen anything like chili here.
