004 👊 video } { let's not give anyone a cold shoulder

[meanestgirl]

[And as the video clicks on, it's Kimberly, hanging out behind the counter, shot perfectly framed because this isn't just her hanging out face timing. This is her promoting something so every shot counts.]

Hi! For those of you who haven't met me yet, I'm Kimberly, and I'm running the ice cream parlor at the Youth Center. And while I know that ice cream on it's own is pretty awesome, but there's only so many times you can do the same ice cream flavors.

So, between me getting bored and magical closets I decided to make ...

[And the camera will man to a fancy looking chalkboard.]

... Custom flavors! You can come in and pick the flavors you think best represent you, and we'll create a cool flavor for everyone to try. For example, since pink is my signature color, I made this!

[And she'll step back to show a three scoop of a bright pink ice cream with a chocolate drizzle that might look a bit like a pterodactyl. A very simplistic pterodactyl, but a pterodactyl all the same.]

It's strawberry kiwi ice cream with dark chocolate shavings and I call it the Pink Power Punch. But yeah. Something like that. Anyway, all kids are welcome to swing in to try and figure out their own. But, since this is a youth center, if you're no longer a youth, you'll have to convince one of them to make you a flavor.

So! Either come in to make something sweet for the menu or get campaigning.

[And with a grin she'll shut the camera off and wait for people to come on down.]

[There's an ice cream parlor now. Clearly that means it's time to experiment in all the worst ways possible. Given that literal garbage is not an object for Frisk, there are few flavors they'd turn their nose up at.]

[Which is why, upon poking their head into the youth center, they venture in step by step, scanning the surrounding area for the lady on the network.]

Has anyone suggested spaghetti?

[meanestgirl]

[Her eyebrows go up a bit at that because that is not a flavor she expected.]

You know, I don't think any of them have gone that savory.

[determinedest]

Could someone try?

[Bolstered, they take a few steps in further. The smells are crisp and clean, the coolness of freezer welcome after the heat outside.]

[meanestgirl]

[She gives a small shrug in return before turning to the closet.]

Anything's possible with the closets. Just have to be able to picture it in your head, right?

( video. )

[wildwest]

[ who is far from being a youth? this guy. but hey, ice cream. he likes ice cream. ]

Pink Power Punch. That's quite the name.

[meanestgirl]

[She gives a small shrug in return.]

Everything benefits from a little alliteration every once in a while.

[wildwest]

I suppose it does. You got anything besides your kiwi somethin' or other concoction on your personal menu?

[ wtf is a kiwi, anyway? he was kind of sitting at the bottom of the well when the fruit made its big stateside debut in the late 1950s. ]

[meanestgirl]

[She laughs.]

Yeah. We have all normal ice cream flavors, as their creators intended.

[ snerk ]

You're really big on ice cream, huh? [ There's a thoughtful pause. ] ... But, that looks great. You do this professionally?

[meanestgirl]

Back home? Nah. I was mostly just trying to survive high school.

[Which is way more complicated for her than it is for most teenagers.]

But I've had a lot of free time to practice my technique.

[backpacking]

High school? Seriously? [ Why did she seem so much older to Ellie? Huh. ]

Guess so. Sounds like a pretty cool flavor idea. ... Not sure about the kiwi, though, to be honest.

[doorkey]

Hmmmm...

[ Gosh, the possibilities here are endless! ]

Could you make a flavor that tasted like, um... let's see. Mangoes, [ She counts off on her fingers, ] Blue cotton candy and limeade?

[meanestgirl]

[Kimberly's eyes go up at that.]

I don't know? But I want to find out right now.

[Because that sounds amazing.]

[doorkey]

Sounds good, right?

I hope there's cotton candy around here someplace. I know in the fridge, at the very back, there's limeade. Sometimes.

[ Billy's grinning face shows up after her little announcement. ]

Do I still count as a youth or is 19 too old for all you kids? [ He's teasing because she's only like a year or so younger than him. But sometimes he feels like the responsible older brother. ]

[meanestgirl]

[She laughs a bit at that, before nodding.]

I think nineteen can give you a bit of wiggle room. Do you have any suggestions?

[actualwizard]

Anything with coffee flavored ice cream. Oh, maybe toasted marshmallow?

[ Well now he has a lot of ideas running through his head. ]

I'm coming down.

VIDEO.

[manipulative]

[ katherine's over 500 years old and yet still looks as young as the day she had "died". ice-cream, unfortunately, doesn't make her want to try her luck at seeing whether or not she looks youthful enough. the idea behind it, though ... that's something she wants to try. ]

I have a feeling I'm a little too old if I like the flavour of wine. [ she cracks a smile. ] Have you had any of your custom flavours turn out to be more awful than you originally thought?

video, to end }

[meanestgirl]

[There's a moment where she makes a face before shaking her head. There have been, but she's not going to mention it on a public feed.]

Nothing that stands out too much. We've definitely gotten some ... interesting flavors, though.

action; late with starbucks

[easily]

[considering elena's involvement in the youth center rebekah usually steers clear but ice cream sounds good and she's bored so fuck it.

elena can deal.

rebekah is as far from the youth as she can get but she can pass for a high school student if she wants]

I must admit, I'm at a bit of a loss of where to start.

[meanestgirl]

[She nods once before turning to face her more.]

There are a lot of options, but there are a few easy process of elimination questions. Do you like hard serve or soft serve?

[easily]

Hard serve. [Though she isn't particularly picky she prefers it to the mess that can come with soft serve.]

the latest of late action

[stereotypicaljock]

[Jason's hovering.

He doesn't think that he's hovering, though. He's just hanging out watching Kimberly scoop ice cream to some kid who's already had too much sugar. It's not weird that he's here. She's just... Over there, being shaped the way she's always been shaped. Doing cute things.

When she's alone again, he'll hover closer to her, settling behind her as she wipes down the counter. Is this too close? It might be too close. He'll take a step back just in case.]

Do you think this is getting too normal?

[meanestgirl]

Maybe.

[She gives a small shrug as she turns to face him.]

But unless you found a way out of her, I can't sit around and do nothing all day. I will go crazy.

[stereotypicaljock]

I was thinking something more along the lines of football, actually.

[He'll return the shrug, as if the sudden invocation of sports will suddenly be normalized.]
