[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.]

Why are all the cute blondes coming into Rin's life?!]
It's chicken.
no subject
But, in particular, it is some type of special Christmas chicken, right?
I don't think we have such a thing where I am from.
no subject
Kiiiiiiinda?
Okay so like. In other places in my world, Christmas dinner is usually ham or turkey. But that's not a super common food in Japan, where I'm from, so like way way waaaay before I was born [Like in the 70's] people started going to a place called Kentucky Fried Chicken and getting food there for Christmas because it was a bird but not turkey.
So it just became a weird tradition there.
no subject
What a charmingly circuitous way to begin a tradition! Now I am all the more eager to taste it! Exactly what does it mean to Kentucky Fry something?
no subject
You're lucky you're cute, Titus.]
Well uh, Kentucky is a... shit, what's it-- it's a place in America, another country. I guess they really like fryin' stuff there? Basically you cover somethin' in batter and drop it in a fryer with hot oil and it cooks all the way through, makin' the outside crunchy.
no subject
Why is it any easier to get Kentucky Fried Chicken in Japan than it is to get ham or turkey?
Or, alternately, why not call it Japan Fried Chicken?
no subject
Second - Dunno. Cultural thing, maybe? Might have to ask someone smarter'n me about that.

Kentucky Fried Tonkatsu...
[Clearly they've found the name for whatever weird fusion place Rin is going to start here.]
Yeah, I can bring some Tonkatsu, too.
