[Greetings, Lunatia! Here is a dumb boy.
Well, okay, his purpose for being here is not a dumb one. It is food related, though, which seems to fall second only to pet posts and questions of a sexual nature.
But food is generally a universally enjoyed thing.
Except for robots. Sorry, Penny.]
Hey everyone. So uh. My birthday is comin' up!
[He tries to smile, but it comes out rather hollow looking and fades after a second. He rests his chin on his hand with a sigh.]
I know I haven't been the most uh-- ... I mean. I don't know many people here still, so if anyone is like "who cares, it's some random punk's birthday" I totally get that. But uh, I figure I can at least offer somethin'?
Is it weird to do that even though it's my birthday? Eh...
I-it's... my birthday, I mean, it's two days after Christmas. That's the big winter holiday where I'm from. I was talkin' to someone else a while ago about how there's no KFC here, and that's where people in my country usually get their Christmas dinner from. It's a whole weird tradition...
[That's besides the point, though.]
Anywaaaaay, I can't make fried chicken exactly like KFC but I've tried a coupl'a times in the past week and gotten it super close, so I wanna try makin' a whole bunch for anyone who really misses it, or really wants to try it. I figure we could meet up at the community center for a... a potluck thing? If... anyone is even interested...
[Potlucks also seem to be somewhat popular here. He might be piggybacking off of too many of them, and he's all awkward and anxiety about doing this at all. He hasn't looked directly at the camera much during this, fiddling with his ear, his shirt, his hair.]
Or maybe just show up, eat all the chicken and bounce. I can't even really be mad if that happens...
[This is getting sad. He's just going to turn the feed off.]

Lucky for you, that curry you made for me before was pretty good. I owe you one, so I'll help you buy ingredients and cook on one condition.
no subject
[Of course food is the one thing he's capable of having visible confidence in.]
What condition?
no subject
Listening to you tell strangers they can eat and run on your birthday is just sad.
no subject
[Damn it. He didn't want to talk about this.]
... I'm a twin. This is gonna be my second birthday without my brother. I didn't even do anythin' for it last year.
[Mainly because Chroma Village was fucking awful, but also because he didn't really want to.]
Also I'm not really any good at makin' friends on my own. Usually it just kinda... happens.
no subject
[Yuri shrugs.] I'll come along, and you have your girlfriend, so that's two people. If I bring Repede, it's three. If you have even one or two other friends, I'd say that's a pretty good turnout.
no subject
[Yuri is trying, in his own Yuri way, and Rin knows that. As upset as it makes him he knows he can't mope forever, either.
Whatever Yukio was going through back home didn't matter here, and it wasn't going to stop the passage of time in these places, either.
It won't be easy to put those feelings aside, but his friends really do want him to have a good time on his birthday.
He owes them that much.]
Y-yeah. Yeah. Thanks, Yuri.
no subject
You can thank me when I actually pitch in. I can buy chicken, but what are the other ingredients? Sounds like this fried chicken stuff is some kind of special recipe?
no subject
[He intends to.]
It is, but there's this uh... 'secret ingredient' that the original company has and won't release to anyone but the people who make it, so I basically had to test a buncha batches with different stuff before I got as close as possible.
This is what I came up with.
[Attached: a recipe for "sort of but not really KFC"]
no subject
Huh... I wonder if the secret isn't one ingredient, but getting all those herbs and spices just right. Sounds interesting.
I'll get the chicken and seasonings, so can I leave the other ingredients to you?
no subject
[If this information comes back with him, he could topple an entire food empire!
Or.
Y'know.
Just make his own at home.]
Yeah, that works for me!
no subject
[Sometimes it just takes an outside culinary opinion to think outside the box!]
So when's your birthday, exactly? You said it was two days after some holiday, but I have no idea when that is.

In the meantime, if a random punk with no friends needs someone to hang out with, go ahead and let me know whenever.
[Your words, not his, nerd.]
no subject
[A late Christmas party, an early birthday party, works out best for everyone it seems.
And yes, he is a nerd.]
Y'sure you wanna hang out with a sadsack like me?
[He's joking now, grinning as he says it.]
no subject
I dunno, you don't look that sad to me any more. You must really love chicken.
no subject
I like sharin' food with people.
no subject
[Getting excited about cooking suits him a lot better than moping, besides.]
no subject
Hey, other people helped. This wasn't all me.
no subject
It was your idea, though, wasn't it? You made the decision to reach out, so give yourself some credit.
no subject
I guess I have gotten better about that. Dunno what the hell I'm doin' but it's workin' anyway.
