recolle | [Open] Something Spooky in the Oven

WHO: Kuramochi and You
WHERE: around Recolle (mostly in his apartment and the school's kitchen)
WHEN: October 16 throughout the rest of October
WHAT: Kuramochi doing something to take his mind off of nightmares and fog by baking cookies. Halloween cookies in fact!
WARNINGS: none at the moment

A. At Home

[Kuramochi can't sleep without having a nightmare trouble him. He can only go through trying to wear himself out at the gym so he can just fall asleep when he comes home. He has to do something to take his mind off of the nightmares not to mention worrying about his future. Kuramochi goes into the kitchen to see that his mom has a lot of baking things around she bought some new Halloween cookie cutters too so why not use them? That's how Kuramochi started baking different kinds of Halloween cookies. He has bats, pumpkins, ghosts, and a witch hat for people to choose from.

He saves half of them for himself while putting the other half in a bowl to carrying down to the office with a note: Happy Halloween! Have a cookie!

Anyone can run into him on the way to deliver the cookies or in his apartment waiting for the cookies to finish. He doesn't mind the company.]

B. At School

[One of the good things about being in student council is being able to use the kitchens as long as he cleans up of course. He finished his student council work, well he stopped after the words on the paper started to blur together, and decided to bake some cookies here before he goes home. It's not that he's having problems thinking at home, but it's his first time using the kitchen at school. He didn't want to go through his time here and not try it once.

He bought some extra cookie cutters if someone wants to join him.]

[ Living in the same building as the people he does, Koushuu has discovered some fairly interesting things ever since he started living in Recollé. Finding out that Kuramochi is baking... interesting, but not surprising while it's also surprising?

He offers his help, anyways, because sleep is escaping him too. Might as well be productive. Especially when the other option is him going out to the practice field at some ridiculous time of night to try and swing the nightmares away. ]

How interested are you in decorating them?

[Kuramochi looked around for the frosting before setting a couple out on the table.]

You can decorate the ones we'll eat here. I don't know how many people would like having a decorated one so the ones I put in the office we can keep plain. If there are some left over cookies then we can decorate them here.

[He checked the other batch of cookies before sitting down at the counter.]

How have you been?

[ Koushuu pulls the frosting closer towards him, to see what they're working with. He's tired and just wants to get some damn sleep, but. It's fine. He'll decorate cookies with his old senpai. ]

Sometimes, frosting is too sweet along with whatever the baked goods are. So that's fair.

[ He opens up one of the things to take a small sniff. Yeah, definitely sweet. ]

Ignoring what Retrospec's been doing? Fine. Ish. You?

[Kuramochi nodded as he picked up one of the cooled ghost cookies to take a bite out of it.]

I'm starting to remember little things like that. We only have so much frosting this time cause my mom bought some after I told her I wanted to try to pursue culinary arts.

[His mom got so excited it made him a little embarrassed still it was nice to see that she's all for it.]

Pretty much the same or trying to. When I'm not ignoring them I'm doing senior stuff. Retrospec tries to one up each other every month don't they?

[ Slowly reaching out, Koushuu picks off a bat and promptly bites its head off right between the wings. Because he might be doing something innocuous like cookie eating, but uh. He sure is still Koushuu Okumura. So.

He chews and nods. ]

I don't normally make these kinds of cookies. Or bake. But my mother and I have made macaroons to look like - like pumpkins.

[ A wing goes next. Koushuu why are you the way you are. ]

The monster thing was... shitty and awful. The nightmares are just exhausting. I'm waiting for the bastard that Eijun and I remembered to show up in one.

[Honestly, Kuramochi would think it's weird if Koushuu didn't eat his cookies that way. The only thing missing is Eijun yelling about how Koushuu should eat the cookie properly.]

My mom would make these when I was little. She showed me how to do it a lot of times this is my first time doing them. Now I would like to see macaroons I've never seen one that looks like a pumpkin.

[That's cute imagining Koushuu making pumpkin macaroons with his mom. He knew he could be cute! Kuramochi moves to take another bite out of his cookie when he stops.]

You and Eijun shared a nightmare? Wait, who was there?

[ And there Ryousuke would be, biting heads off cookies right there with him while Eijun was yelling. Ah, yes, the company that they keep.

He bites off the other wing. ]

I could make them sometime. It's not really that hard, after you've made them enough times. I like them better than candy, usually.

[ And his mom liked to give them to the kids in the neighborhood when he was in middle school. He misses her, and that. But Koushuu looks back up at him. ]

No, hallucinomemory or whatever they're calling them. We remembered the same guy - brown shaggy hair, stupid square glasses, a shitty laugh. Kind of nasally?

[Ryousuke would then bite the head off a ghost. Well, they know how to keep things interesting.]

Sure, I'd like to taste them.

[He's not there to making macaroons yet, but he does love how they taste. Kuramochi sits back, frowning a little at the guy Koushuu's described. He nearly drops his cookie when it comes back to him. Wait...wait! He knows that guy too!]

Yeah! Yeah! He's not the easiest to work with either! I know who you're talking about.

[Whoever this guy is really annoyed him too.]

[He's on his way past the office by the time Kuramochi shows up, finishing some business for the landlady from his own. Naturally, though, someone with a bowl full of cookies catches his eye... Especially when they're in such adorable shapes!]

Ooh! Those are so cute. Where did you get 'em?

[Kuramochi looks over as he gives him a smile.]

Hey! Oh? These? Thanks! I, um, made them myself. My mom bought all these new cutters for Halloween and I decided to use them today. Here you can have one.

[He offers the bowl to him. They tasted good to him, but he does look to see how they taste to others.]

Really? Thanks! That's super sweet of you.

[Don't mind if he just reaches right on in without any hesitation to pick up a pumpkin-shaped one, taking a bite. After he's chewed and swallowed:]

—Nice, nice. [AN APPROVING NOD.] That's a good recipe. What's in these?
