[Video/Action]

Good afternoon, Luceti! [There's a beat as she waves into the camera, before turning the view over to quite a large plate of cupcakes. They look rather normal, and all of them have little stars sprinkled on top of them. There's no telling what's actually inside of the things, however.]

I've been baking an awful lot lately to pass time

A fun one! [She doesn't even have to look up to see who it is, as she picks up a cupcake to hand over to him. It just so happens to be one of the gummy bear ones! It tastes relatively normal, though biting into the gummy parts may be a little awkward...]

I've been playing around with this recipe for the whole day. Tell me how it is?

[arcanaxxii]

I put gummy bears in it, of course it would be! [a pout.] Is it no good...? [Okay, next! Minato, you're going to regret you ever came into the kitchen.]

Then how about this one? It's chocolate, so it should be fine! [Except, nope. Crushing in overly sweet white chocolate and retaining the sugar from the original recipe was probably not a good idea.]

I wouldn't mind visiting the beach myself, I support the idea of a beach party. It has been quite some time since I last visited any beach now that I think back on it.

[But there's no way she's going to get in that water, and there's no way in hell she's going to be in a girls swimsuit]

[voice]

[arcanaxxii]

Got it! If there's anyone else you'd like to invite to the party, you should definitely do so! [a beat.] What's a summer when there's not at least one party on the beach?

By the way, Naoto-san! How are those dresses you got serving you?

[B-but Naoto... What about that time they went shopping ;;]

[voice]

[fortune_prince]

I'll be sure to keep that in mind. [She chuckles] I suppose that's true though I haven't done anything like that since I was a child.

[S-Sorry ;;; Oh boy, how to explain this] I'm sorry to say but...dresses aren't exactly my thing. During that time, I was affected by an experiment..

[voice]

[arcanaxxii]

E-eh!? Really? You've been missing out! Now you're definitely going! I'll drag you if I must. [There's no way out of this, hohoho.]

An... experiment? Oh! I had a friend affected by it... [Give her a second as the light bulb in her head lights up.] ...oh, so that's why you were acting differently. [She laughs softly.]

I understand! You were really cute wearing them, though. But Naoto-kun is Naoto-kun! You're both cool and cute when you want to be.

[sob -1 girlfriend ;;]

If you'll have me, I'd be more than happy to come to the beach party. [As for the suggestions bit . . . ] What sort of activities did you have in mind?

[ voice ]

[arcanaxxii]

Of course you're invited, Alf-san! I'll even drag you if I have to, now that I know that you're willing to go! There's no turning back. [She adds the last part ominously, before going back to normal for the next part.]

Other than what I've said previously... Nothing comes to mind. Maybe a barbecue? Or even volleyball - I found a net a while ago, and I could put it to use for that day. What do you usually do for beach parties?

[ Pinged his sweet tooth Minako. But if you need help...he certainly wouldn't mind. ] Ah those cupcakes look wonderful. If you need anymore volunteers for taste testing I certainly wouldn't be opposed to helping.

[ Of course he wouldn't because he's well...he's Helios. ]

[voice]

[arcanaxxii]

[And of course she wouldn't mind, because she's Minako!] Do they? I'm glad that they've managed to catch your eye, then! [If this were video, he'd see that she was grinning from top to bottom.]

I've baked a whole bunch, and I still have a lot more to plow through of. How many would you like, and where do you happen to be right now?

[voice]

[folkloristic]

Well I can tell they were certainly made with care.

Mm how about four? If you can manage. [ One for Giles, and Frederic and an extra in case. ]

And I'm currently in my apartment. Community House seven floor five room twenty-two, if you'd like to stop by. Otherwise we could meet outside the apartment building. [ Paaause. ] Ah! My manners! My name is Helios by the way.

[voice]

[arcanaxxii]

I'll be on my way as soon as I finish packing them up, then! I think I'm going to get all the deliveries out of the way in one go, so I hope you don't mind a bit of a wait. [a pause.] Oh, no! It should be fine, I'll take a note of where you are. I don't know how long I'll be taking; I don't want you to wait in the heat or anything.

Aha! Don't worry about it, I forgot to mention my name as well. I'm Minako, Minako Arisato! Nice to meet you, Helios-san. I'll be there in... twenty minutes? Don't take my word for it!

[liketofu]

Am I interested? Are you kidding? I've got my swimsuit all picked out for something like this!

[arcanaxxii]

Oh yeah? Then I better see you there or else!

You were one of the people who helped with the New Feather party, weren't you? I was wondering if you could help me with the beach party if you're free.

[liketofu]

I don't mind. Once this cycle's over and we're done with that one, I'm okay with helping out in anything!

[arcanaxxii]

That'd be awesome! Right now, the list is looking a little lonely, so I was hoping that you'd have suggestions, or things that you want to do in particular. Would you like to come over sometime to plan, then? A ping would be great, whenever you're free.
