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

I'd be happy to taste test your cupcakes. [All of them. As long as they're good, anyway.

But hrm ... This beach party idea. It sounds like a lot of fun, and she's never been able to do something like that before, but ... isn't that something only friends do with each other? She's not sure if she's allowed to actually go.] ... I'd also be interested in joining this party, if that's all right.

[Voice]

[arcanaxxii]

It's Tyria-san, right? [... about that-] I'd love it if you could! Would it be vanilla, chocolate, gummy, or cookie dough for you? [she beams for a moment, before moving onto the next part.]

I said the more the merrier; of course you can come! A summer isn't summer without a day on the beach, and I'd hate for anyone to miss that out.

[Voice]

[wantsfriedbread]

I don't see a need to choose. I'll sample one of each type.

[ ... ]

... Oh. [pause] I'll have to find a swimsuit soon, then. It'd be boring to be stuck sitting on the shore while everyone else gets to play.

[Voice]

[arcanaxxii]

Some people have their preferences, so I just thought I'd ask before I packed them up. [a beat.] Are you at home right now, then? If you'd like, we could kill two bird with one stone by meeting up at the clothing store!

[voice]

[minimonsterdad]

[So much concentrated cheer...] Minako-nee, you must have been pretty popular in high school.

[voice]

[arcanaxxii]

[blink blink.] What does that have to do with anything? [And then she shakes her head, because there were much more important things to be doing!] Never mind that! What are you doing right now, Loki-kun? I need you to help me with something!

[voice]

[minimonsterdad]

[Hm?] I'm about to leave the library. What is it?

[voice]

[arcanaxxii]

Just a few errands here and there. Nothing much, trust me! [...and maybe a little bit of a devious undertone.]

[pridefulfists]

Cupcakes? [He didn't have that big of a sweet tooth, but he did enjoy sugary treats every now and then.]

I wouldn't mind trying one.

[Video]

[arcanaxxii]

-ah!! Sorry for the delay, I was busy doing a few errands, and...

[There's a pause, as she comes to realise who was on the other side of the journal.]

S-senpai!? [He was the last person Minako expected to respond to something like this, but her expression noticeably brightens.] Of course you can--! O, oh, actually, that might not be such a good idea.

[It falls for a second, before it perks right up.] There's one batch that went well, but wouldn't you prefer ya-...

[...]

Would you be fine with vanilla cupcakes?

[Video]

[pridefulfists]

[Ah. She actually called him senpai unlike last time when she stopped herself. It definitely made him curious, albeit suspicious, but nothing callous.

She was a bit confusing, most women were. He thought it over for a couple seconds.]

Vanilla is fine. Where do you want to meet?

[Video]

[arcanaxxii]

That's good to hear! [She pauses briefly, taking a glance over to the clock on her wall.]

Hum...

I have time before dinner, so would you like to meet at the plaza, or something? If that's any convenient for you.
