[Around town]

[With Valentines day fast approaching, 10032 has become concerned with what to do, and how to do it right considering the object of her affections is rather.. oblivious, she has to do it right.

And that means making chocolates herself. None of this store-bought stuff will do! And its frustrating, because for one, she doesn't know how to make chocolate. And she doesn't know what exactly to use to make it either, which is why she's sort of wandering around town, like looking at sappy v-day cards and the chocolates with them as if suddenly she'll have an epiphany and know how.

Eventually, she'll give up, and start questioning anyone she can see.]

'How do you make chocolate?' Misaka questions insistently considering the importance of the day coming up.

[ 340 Brady Lane ] I don't need no stinkin' prompts

[punch_illusions_get_harem]

[ Touma returns to his room, fresh glass of juice in his hand. The last week was definitely something else, so he hasn't been seen much of anywhere around town except when he went to classes. Even his homework was suffering, thanks to his near-constant headaches, but the concussion-like symptoms are all but gone by now.

That doesn't stop him from nearly dropping the juice as soon as he opens the door and sees that he has a visitor. ] M-Misaka? What are you doing in—

[ He sighed and shut the door. ] Did she let you in without telling me? Again? [ Touma is going to have a few words with the drone!mom later on. ]

prompts are for suckers

[misakanetwork]

'Sorry, she had told Misaka that it would be fine,' Misaka explains apologetically as you seem unpleasantly surprised.

[punch_illusions_get_harem]

Yeah well she doesn't know me that well. Isn't a boy's room sacred anymore? I could've taken some time to clean up. [ Touma sets his glass down on the desk next to his wallet and passport and moves to pick up socks and things from the floor. ]

[misakanetwork]

'It is fine, Misaka will only be here for a short amount of time,' Misaka explains.

[punch_illusions_get_harem]

[ Touma doesn't stop, but he does slow down. It had to be done eventually. ] Oh yeah? What's up?

[misakanetwork]

'Misaka would like to know what type of chocolate you like best, as well as if there is anything you would like for your birthday,' Misaka explains.

[nazewithnothing]

[Well, she'd noticed and decided to observe the girl considering she seemed to hang around Touma, but she didn't expect her to approach her. Well, whatever.]

You're thinking of making Valentine chocolates?

[misakanetwork]

'Yes,' Misaka nods in confirmation.

[nazewithnothing]

For anyone special, or is this just the kind between friends? Making chocolates are actually a lot harder than baking and things like that, so if you've never done it before, buying might be a better option if it's just for your friends.

[well, no, she kind of has an idea where this might be going]

[misakanetwork]

'It is for someone special,' Misaka explains. 'Misaka also knows that making chocolate is harder than baking, however Misaka feels that if she does her best they will still be better than store-bought chocolates.'

[nazewithnothing]

Well, and most people tend to ascribe a larger value to the effort made in creating such chocolates over simply buying them.

I suppose I can instruct you in how to make them... not that this kind of thing is my specialty, but I remember the basics.

...wouldn't have checking the library been better than just walking around asking people?

[ippotsuko]

Why on earth would you expect me to know? And why the fuck do you care about that shitty holiday?

because math and making chocolate are totally the same thing right

[misakanetwork]

'Because you have been around longer than Misaka, so Misaka assumes that since you are the strongest, and therefore the smartest esper, that you would know how. As for why Misaka cares, it is a personal matter,' Misaka explains honestly.

TOTALLY

[ippotsuko]

My brain doesn't get applied to stupid shit like cake.

[misakanetwork]

'Ah, Misaka supposes not,' Misaka answers with a frown.

This should be fun. :>

[guardiandragon]

Eh? I dunno. Why, what day's coming up?

run while you can--

[misakanetwork]

'Valentines day,' Misaka explains that it is customary to give those you love chocolate on that day.

[guardiandragon]

Huh. Must be an American thing... So, is this, like, love as in family, or romantic love? I might have to look into this, myself.

[misakanetwork]

'Romantic type love,' Misaka explains that it is important to her to give him a gift that shows this.

[guardiandragon]

Heh. Sounds like I picked a good time to land a first date, then. Course, I don't wanna come off as trying too hard, but it seems like a nice touch...

[skirtingdanger]

-- Hm?

[well, Maka hadn't been expecting being approached suddenly with this sort of question, and it shows on her face]

Chocolate? ... Oh, you mean, for the fourteenth coming up, huh...

[misakanetwork]

'Yes, that is correct,' Misaka nods honestly.

[She looks about as hopeful as she can that Maka will help her with this problem. As hopeful as she can, considering the fact she can't exactly show emotion.]

[skirtingdanger]

[this girl seems pretty deadpan, Maka thinks to herself, but...]

To be honest, that's not something I know off the top of my head. Have you tried looking it up with a recipe?

[misakanetwork]

'Misaka has tried,' Misaka answers honestly with the fact that all of the cooking and baking books have been checked out from the library.

[Not to mention that third person narrative that she speaks in.]

[skirtingdanger]

[yep. definitely odd. Maka even seems to be studying the girl-- discreet as she's trying to be-- though nothing else terribly strange seems to strike her.]

All of them? ... Then again, I guess if you've never baked too much before, it can seem a little confusing.
