Um... hello, everyone. I'll try not to other you, and make this quick. I just had a few things to say.

[To make sure she's doing this right, she has a small notepad. page flip.]

First... during that zombie event, when were trapped in our fantasies... Several of you tried to help me get out of that place, and even though I was really stubborn, I really appreciate what you did. So, thank you.

[page flip.]

Second, Valentine's Day was yesterday. Normally I would have given my friends some chocolate, but, um, since we just had an event, I wasn't sure if anyone would be in the mood to have some... B-But I'll be making some in the kitchen, so if you still want one, you can come here and take some.

[page flip.]

And last, um... I write down what happens every day in my journals, but lately I was thinking, I'd like to start putting photos in there too... Of both good and bad memories. So I was going to ask the closet for a camera... b-but I don't know a lot about cameras. So, um, I guess, I just wanted to know if anyone had any suggestions or tips about that kind of thing...?

[She double-checks her page... nothing forgotten, and not too many apologies! Success! She looks very proud of herself.]

Th-that's all! Thank you, chocolates, and cameras! Th-thanks for listening.

((OOC: feel free to go action if you want chocolates!))

Well...

[it's a really reluctant 'well' that stretches out.]

I do have a lot to make, since so many people have been nice to me...

I thought that might be the case, considering what a good person you are! Then please, allow me the honor of helping you out! I will follpw any orders you may have!

[okay okay you won her over.]

All right... b-but it isn't too hard! They're all the same shape and size... except for one.

[He claps his hands together and reaches for an apron, eager to get to work!]

Oh, which one is that?

[She walks over to a different section of the kitchen, holding out a circular baking pan that's pretty large. It's already full of melted chocolate, ready to be baked and decorated.]

This, um... this one is for Mondo, because he rescued me during an event.

[He follows her, and his eyes widen as he beholds that pan! And he emits a soft gasp, delightfully surprised to hear the identity of the recipient.]

Ah... For Oowada-kun?! Such a kind gesture! I... I am proud to hear that he has done something so heroic! He certainly would deserve something of this size!

[She begins to blush a little.]

I... I thought of decorating it like a motorcycle wheel... Do you think that's a good idea?

A motorcyle wheel? [He strokes at his chin thoughtfully and nods quite excitedly.] Now that is a creative idea! I am sure that he would appreciate it a lot. Motorcyles are one of his main passions in life, after all!

[She beams, pleased that he agrees.]

Heehee! I'm so glad... I was so worried, but you're his closest friend, so if you think it's good, then it is good!

[He smiles softly.]

...Yes, I suppose I am. In fact, the two of us are brothers in spirit! [He declares that proudly. Nothing can change that!] So, I feel confident that this will make him very happy!

Wonderful! I'm so happy!

[This is the best V-day!!!!]

Um! So all you have to do while I work on this is... pour the chocolate into the heart-shaped pans, and put them in the oven. It's very easy!

I see, I see! [He nods along eagerly.] I can perform both of those actions as efficiently as possible! You can count on me, Tsumiki-kun!

[With a salute, he wastes no time in getting to work! He's honored to have a part in shaping Mondo's happiness!]

[And as they work...]

I used to be really scared of him. I thought he was one of those mean, gangster types... but... he's actually really nice, isn't he?

[Ishimaru nods along chipperly while he carries out her orders.]

I understand what you mean! The two of us did nothing but argue at first. I thought that he was a good-for-nothing delinquent who knew nothing of effort or decency! But then... there was that time in the sauna. With our bodies and our souls bared, our true natures became clear to each other!

[... wait what]

T-time in the sauna?

[she's... having a little too much fun imagining that]

[He nods proudly.]

Correct! That was the challenge that solidified our bond as brotherly men! ...Ah, to be accurate, the first time we faced off, Oowada-kun chose to wear clothes in the sauna as a handicap! But when we repeated the challenge here in Wonderland, he was sure to bare it all!

[This isn't too much information at all!]

[Mikan stares, struggling not to imagine it too much. ~~But privately stores it away in the spank bank.~~]

I, um... I guess it's a guy thing... When girls are in a sauna, we just try to relax and talk... I assume. I've never been in one.

[Ishimaru nods.]

Yes, it was a hot-blooded competition of men. Something that women just might not understand! [But he gasps lightly as that last part clicks in.]

Wait - are you telling me that you have never taken part in such a thing?! What about public bathing in general?

I... I only went to public bathing whenever the bathroom at home was broken... and even then, since I kept tripping and falling over everything, people would stay away from me.

[boo hoo hoo]

Ah... I am sorry to hear that! That sounds quite unfortunate. This place may not have a bathhouse, but you should at least treat yourself to the sauna by the pool sometime! You deserve it! You could even bring your friends like Maizono-kun and Otonashi-kun... make a girl's day of it!

Oh... y-you think they'd be interested?

[Now she's tempted!]

[He nods quickly.]

Yes! It sounds like the sort of thing that all of you would enjoy! A perfect way to build up your bonds of sisterhood!

Well... I guess it wouldn't hurt to ask.

Th-thanks for the idea.

That's correct. It cannot hurt to ask at all! You are quite welcome!

[He pauses his work long enough to snap a salute towards her.]

You are all hard workers who deserve such a break! Please enjoy yourselves!
