I talked to the CPU and it set up a bakery for me! It's perfect! See?

[Orihime turns her device to show a decidedly cute little cafe-style bakery. Inside the window, the display case is empty, and the chairs are on all of the tables. It's not open for business just yet it seems, but SOON. She was too excited to wait.]

Adam-san is going to help me with deliveries, so if you need a cake delivered, just let us know. We'll be happy to get it to you promptly! I'm working on a menu of different cake and mousse filling flavors, and I'll probably spend the rest of the day buying lots of ingredients. It'll probably take a lot of trips, ha ha!

[She turns the camera back to herself.]

There should be a couple of different cakes ready by tomorrow, and I'll definitely have the display case filled by Tuesday. So if there's anything you want to order in advance, please let me know.

[Orihime bows politely...and pauses.]

Anou...I also have a favor to ask. And I know the timing isn't great since I just advertised a new bakery, ah ha ha! But I'm hoping someone knows where I can find a psychiatrist? There's a particular problem I'm trying to solve.

[Sheepishly, she rubs the back of her neck.]

Luckily it won't affect my baking, so don't worry!

[OOC: Bakery details are here in Orihime's journal!]

Oh, so it has finally opened, congratulations!

[Kodachi golf-claps. This calls for a celebration; so she'll go ahead and cook dinner tonight~.]

And I would not worry about a psychiatrist, Orihime-dear, what you have I would hardly call a 'condition'. You are simply..



.. Unique.

[Video]

[leekspins]

Ah...ah ha ha, yes, that's it!

[She doesn't want to worry Kodachi, so she's reluctant to mention the creepy voice in the back of her head that's followed her here from Nautilus.]

I'm just unique...

[Yeah...]

Thank you very much, Kodachi-san. Do you want me to bring you home anything?

[Video]

[never_go_back]

Mm-hm..

[Kodachi doesn't buy it. The poor thing is not a very good liar is she? But rather than spoil the mood, the Black Rose decides she'll to to pry it out of her later, after she's full and groggy from delicious dinner.

Oooh or maybe she could blackmail her into telling her so she can eat dinner. Decisions, decisions...]

If you could pick up this month's issue of 'Swinging Heaven', that would be wonderful~. When do you plan to return?

[That's a rope bondage magazine. Have fun with that one.]

[Video]

[leekspins]

[That must be a dance magazine. She didn't know Kodachi liked swing dancing, how cool is that?]

Sure! And...mmmm...maybe around 7 or 8? Is that all right?

[Video]

[never_go_back]

[It's too bad she won't be around to see the original reacition, but the story will probably tell itself on Orihime's face once she arrives home.

That said, 7pm is plenty of time for her to get dinner prepared as well as run an errand or two; they might even have an extra plate tonight.]

It could not be more perfect~. I shall see you then, and be safe Orihime-chan!

[Video]

[leekspins]

Ha ha, I will! There's nothing to worry about.

Thanks, Kodachi-san.

[She really is having fun with Kodachi as a roommate.]

[grindpantera]

You can bake me something.

[leekspins]

.......................................Really?

[That's pretty adventurous of him!]

I'd be happy to! Do you know what you'd like? Or do you want to be surprised?

Video

[grindpantera]

Surprise me, I guess. [Cause it's free, right? Because he doesn't plan on paying.]

Video

[leekspins]

[She doubts he's going to eat much cake to put a dent in her earnings. Besides, he's the only person from her world around (that she knows of), so, you know. Gotta stick together!]

Okay! Stop by around noon tomorrow, I should have a few cakes for you to sample.

Video

[grindpantera]

[And by stick together you mean give him free cake? That's the best sticking together there is.]

Okay. I'll see you at noon. [He doesn't know where her store is located, but finding her is easy enough for him.]

Video

[leekspins]

Heh?! But I don't have all of my equipment and ingredients yet!

[She needs more time than THAT!]

Video

[grindpantera]

Not noon today. Noon tomorrow.

[buriedtreasure]

Will there be pudding at your bakery?!

[ This is important. She sounds like she's deadly serious too. ]

voice;

[leekspins]

Pudding?

[She hadn't been planning on it, but she could bring in a steamer. Why not? If there's a demand, then she needs to fill it!]

Yes! Coming soon! I don't have as much experience with pudding, but it isn't too hard to make.

voice;

[buriedtreasure]

I volunteer to taste-test!

[ There's a huge demand, it's literally the only thing she eats. ]

voice;

[leekspins]

[And now they are friends. Seriously, that's all it takes. Orihime laughs, and gives her head a mighty nod of agreement.]

That would be great! I might be proud of my desserts, but I want them to be the very best, so please help me to improve with your honest remarks!

voice;

[buriedtreasure]

[ Nanana is okay with this friendship understanding. ]

I can be a pretty hard grader on pudding, since I've had so much of it, so I'll be sure to give you the cold, hard truth!

[ Just never withhold it from her, she can be a right terror then. ]

voice;

[leekspins]

Ah ha ha! Not TOO hard, I hope...!

[Still, she's looking forward to this. Maybe she can experiment and find some good flavors to try out. A pudding with a crunchy cookie base might be super delicious too!]

[dramaticals]

Psychiatrist for you or for someone else?

video;

[leekspins]

[Orihime hesitates. She was kind of hoping no one would ask any questions about this, and just point her toward a good source of help.]

...For me.

[She says it quietly, her face burning with embarrassment.]

video;

[dramaticals]

Hm....

[there's a long pause on his end as he considers what she says. he's trying to figure out why she might need one- but that dream was probably a clear indication.]

Do you mind if I come over?

video;

[leekspins]

No, I don't mind.

[She shakes her head.]

Do you mean the bakery? It'll take me a little bit to get home, but I can tell you when I get there.

video;

[dramaticals]

That's fine. I'll come to your bakery.

[he has a feeling she wouldn't want to talk about this where anyone could listen.]

video;

[leekspins]

[His intuition is spot on. She inclines her head, then manages to dredge up a smile of gratitude. She knows he's not coming to see her because HE'S in need of company. Day by day, she's starting to learn just how much kindness he really has.]

Thanks. I'll be here.
