[Happy Birthday, Have Some Junk] (6/1+6/2)

[Akechi has been gone for the past week, which might not be surprising to anyone who knows what he went through. What may be more surprising, however, is the truckload of packages he's returned to. During the first two days of June, he spends a remarkable amount of time ferrying boxes of mail order confections, dorm warming products, various things a 'good boy' like the Detective Prince might enjoy, suspiciously unmarked boxes, and various other objects up to his room.

Occasionally, he pauses in the common room with a cart full of boxes to sample some cupcakes or chocolates, during which time he opens some of the boxes from more recognizable mail-order companies. If he catches anyone staring at his boxes of sweets, he gestures at them with a smile.]


Want one? Even I can't eat this much before it goes bad.

[Yard Sard] (6/2-6/5)

UN: G.Akechi

Would anyone happen to know where I could sell off valuable materials found in the Outlands? They're nothing magical, but I have gold, silver, and copper coins, as well as red phosphorous, mercury, and various odds and ends that might be useful for crafts projects. If you'd like to take them off my hands, I'll be waiting in the common room of Lumiere's third floor after school for the next few days.

I also have a large number of good quality cakes and chocolate I'm willing to sell, along with some more practically useful items my fans decided to order for my birthday. They're not really very good at figuring out what will appeal to me, but it seems like a waste to simply throw them away. I'd much rather they go to someone who might appreciate them more.


[Those who come to the common room of Lumiere's third floor will find boxes of cakes, chocolates, practical dorm goods, and assorted items you might expect to find in the home of a 'mature and traditional' Japanese man. Akechi sits on a couch with a box of Euros and a notebook, idly tapping a pencil against his list of items to get rid of. A backpack rests against his leg, full of the valuable materials he mentioned.]

[Chicken Soup for the...Oops] (6/8)

[Akechi has never so much as touched the common kitchen before, and Lumiere Floor 3 is about to find out why. The pot on the stove is full of what was clearly supposed to be chicken with rice, but...it's not quite right. The smell of scorched rice and chicken drifts off from it as he tries plaintively to scrape the bottom of the pot with a spoon, while too-large chunks of vegetables float around the top. The whole thing also smells strongly of salt, with fainter hints of spices that a more experienced chef would know don't work well with chicken. Overall, it's...probably not inedible, but someone might want to advise him to take another look at the cookbook lying open on the counter and try again.]

[Shopping Spree!] (6/16+6/22+6/23)

[Prom is quickly approaching, and everyone knows what that means: shopping time! Akechi has managed to pull together a fair bit of cash, and is spending his free weekends excitedly flitting around Soleil's clothing stores, jewelry stores, and beauty salons. He even stops to browse cosmetics, both skin treatments and actual makeup, with the sort of excited enthusiasm of someone who knows he has something to look forward to at the dance. It's easy to get caught up in the energy, isn't it?]

[Yuya's been meaning to catch up with Akechi, one his head was on straight enough after Saeru was dealt with. Of course, he was gone by then, so Yuya waited a few days before trying again.

He's relieved when he sees Akechi at his room, picking up speed to a jog. He wasn't sure if he should have expected the worst.]
Akechi! You're--

[And then he skids to a halt at his door.] That's a lot of stuff?
buddinghopes: (huh?)

[insert "I'm at soup" joke of your choice here]

[Man she's not even rooming on this floor, she was just passing through, but the smell makes her stop dead in her tracks and she just has to go investigate.

And that... well...]


My word...

Oh. [There's not a holiday right now, is there? Yuya scratches his head, trying to remember any big holidays that would warrant a bunch of gifts.]

Is your birthday coming up?
buddinghopes: (I'm listening)

[personal profile] buddinghopes 2019-06-08 10:09 pm (UTC)(link)
... A little.

[There's really no point in mincing words there... She wanders over to peer at the cookbook, then at the soup.]

First attempt?

you know the one

[ It's during one of the times he's trying to cart a bunch of stuff to his room, this guy is walking by with a bag hanging from his shoulder - the last of his own things. There's a faintly awkward pause as he watches for just a second, and then: ]

Uhh... Need a hand?

Ah, I didn't know! [He's not prepared!! He'll make up for it later.

Right now, he gives Akechi a once over.]
You look okay. I'm glad, after that place...
buddinghopes: (that sucked)

[personal profile] buddinghopes 2019-06-08 10:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Um, if you want cooking tips, I can help. I'm not the greatest or anything, but I know enough.

[Honestly, though, it could be worse.]

I have to ask, though... What exactly... prompted you to use that many spices...?
buddinghopes: (that sucked)

[personal profile] buddinghopes 2019-06-08 10:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[You can just see the "oh, honey" look on her face.]

Those spices don't exactly work with chicken, first of all. [As for the scorching issue--] Did you just let the soup sit in the pot?

[She has a feeling she already knows the answer, but...]

[personal profile] buddinghopes 2019-06-08 10:27 pm (UTC)(link)
You can't just stir most of it without scraping the bottom of the pot if you don't want stuff to burn. It's a pretty common beginner's mistake, though. I did the same thing when I started out...
buddinghopes: (hmmm)

[personal profile] buddinghopes 2019-06-08 10:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[...]

Do you want some help running through a couple of practice attempts before trying again on your own?

[He doesn't have to, his fans do it for him.

Yuya nods.]
That's a good idea.

[He's been sulking around campus. He rubs the back of his neck.] I just--really came to check on you.

[Awwww. She grins.]

Then let me get my hands washed and we can get started!

Uh--yeah! You--we died, and then you had to go through all those things you feared, and your face looks okay but I remember you got hurt and--I wanted to make sure you were okay.

[He looks better, so Yuya's not as worried as he could be. But it's basically his whole reason for coming up here right now.] Or at least more okay than before.
