[Tomorrow night is the Moon Festival and 768 Bunker Street is being made up accordingly.

If anyone happens to venture into the kitchen, they'll find some very pretty and colourful (he likes things to be bright okay) moon cakes put out ready. As well as these ones... Not that brodad will know what they are currently, but still, he's way too used to

[He walks by, admiring the lights.]

Ana...they are very beautiful...

[scentofbauhinia]

You think so?

Not too out of place? [what with the 50's American setting and all]

[nirvananation]

They certainly stand out, but it is in a good way.

[scentofbauhinia]

I guess they brighten the place up.

D'you want to try a mooncake?

[Taiwan's on her way to come see China, when she happens upon all of these decorations and babby brother sitting out on the front porch staring at the lights. Smiling, she walks over and takes a seat next to him.]

"It looks really nice."

[scentofbauhinia]

[It takes him a moment or two to snap out of his thoughts, before turning to Taiwan]

Glad you think so.

[pinkplumblossom]

"Just like home, huh?"

[Looks up at the lights, smiling a little.]

[scentofbauhinia]

Yeah...

I've made the cakes to eat under the moon tomorrow night and stuff. [it won't be anything near as spectacular as he usually does back home in his house, but still, that's not the point here]

[decadenzas]

[you are no longer alone on your porch. it's not like he was drawn over by the smell of moon cakes and got distracted by the lights...]

That time of year already? It's too easy to lose track of time here, even more than it was back home.

[scentofbauhinia]

[hi charles hi

how did he guess you'd be ambling by like the creepy little cake scavenging thing that you are

he nods in agreement]

Yeah.

Here. I made you these. [hands you a blue chinese lantern (SO IT DOESN'T CLASH WITH THE ROSES DURHUR) AND your very own supa speshul mooncake. this one has a rose image embossed into the top.]

[decadenzas]

[feels the specialest. he takes them both, making sure to hold the lantern with extra care. it's nice to have something familiar, even if it was rare to find him actually celebrating Tết Trung Thu.]

Thank you. [look i can do manners without sarcasm, aren't you proud.] Even if it's a bit strange celebrating in a place like this.

[scentofbauhinia]

[so proud.]

Yeah. I admit they kind of stand out a bit. [gesturing to the dragon lantern as well as the regular ones.]

Are you going to do the moon viewing thing tomorrow night?

[peonymarket]

[eyeballing the herro kitty moon cakes....]

[scentofbauhinia]

[comes back into the kitchen to start piling up some of the regular colourful ones into the traditional pyramid thing

and oh god

it's okay, you will get a pink one teacher] ...You like them?

[peonymarket]

The design is very cute, heya.

[wistful sigh......this alone is a sign that his guard has dropped somewhat since his arrival, judging it now all right to indulge in some of his usual silliness]

[scentofbauhinia]

It's Hello Kitty. [resists the urge to say "herro kitty"]

...You're kind of a fan of it in the future. [understatement]

[puffinparadise]

[Peeking over his shoulder at the moon cakes.]

What's the occasion?

[WESTERNERS KNOW NOTHING.]

[scentofbauhinia]

It's the Moon Festival tomorrow night. Or Mid-Autumn Festival.

[holds up a non-hello kitty one]

Try one.

[puffinparadise]

[Takes it and tries it.] Not bad. What's in it?
