[ OPEN/MINGLE ] BRRR IT'S COLD IN HERE

[crudest]

WHO: Baren Kaiyou & you! or you and whoever!! it's Mingle Time
WHERE: Rando Ice Cream Shop & Magatus!
WHEN: throughout march! time is a mystery.
WHAT: ICE CREAM PARTY - but also please meet the world's most beautiful moose, Boose. everyone's welcome to the ice cream party in Part A and specifically anyone on the group 1-4 mission list would've gotten an invite to free ice cream if your chara needs more incentive to come!
WARNINGS: SHOULD BE NONE??

A : I SCREAM, YOU SCREAM

[ We all scream for ice cream! It's one of those neatly aesthetic ice cream parlors that normally has a line out the door in the middle of the shopping district. yet depending on the time of day, the chalk-sign might say in a neatly curling cursive: free ice cream on Zee Carlisle!

... that second part's not true, of course. But who ever said that Baren's honest?

Additionally if anyone had gone on a mission over the month to one of the four regions - they'll get a special text invite to free ice cream. :') good job, y'all.

i ) That said, the first part is! There is definitely free ice cream being offered out to anyone on the Retrospec app. What flavor's caught your eye? Pecan Cherry Pie? Wildberry Mango Chocolate Delight? ... there's normal flavors too, but you really should adventure out a little bit, don't you think? At least don't freak out if you find a surprise gummy worm inside.

... or do. Baren miiiight be recording it.

ii ) The owners are feeling generous - or at least Baren is. Enjoy an extra scoop or - five? Did you get more ice cream that you asked for? Tanuki-san is sitting around, eyeing your mountain there. Wanna share? Careful and don't let it fall or else we're looking at a food fight situation on our hands...!

iii + chuuya ) Now if anyone's looking for Baren himself when he's not sticking gummy worms into the ice cream trays or otherwise fucking around, he's probably more toward the back of the shop. He's not alone. ]

If you try to feed me, I'm going to lock you in the freezer.

[ - is a wonderful thing to say to his boyfriend (doublesmall) who's sitting on his lap because what's a PDA? A topping? This is fine.

(ooc: tagging order for this prompt if you want to suffer through that would be you -> Chuuya -> Baren!) ]

B : STANDS FOR BOOOOOOOOOOOSE

[ The bus ride to Magatus is 7 hours long. Rather than using the usual bus - there might be dried blood on those seats? - Baren has booked a party bus. Yeah, there's probably a disco ball and a stripper pole. He doesn't intend on using it, he just thought it was funny to have.

i ) Did you even know what you were signing up for when you climbed on? Baren has picked one of the seats in the back - yawning as he looks almost ready to set in for a nap. Yet when he makes eye contact with you, there's a raise of a brow and - ]

Can I help you?

[ ii ) Welcome to Baren's Winter Wonderland Tour! If you've chosen to follow him on this journey for... some reason - this is where he's led you. If you didn't bring enough jackets for warmth, don't worry about it - he's tossing a designer coat to you without even hesitating. ]

Don't think you get to keep that, okay?

[ The price tag is probably more than some people make in a year.

Regardless this is when they'll be joined by a lumbering presence - a big, giant, beautiful moose. Charging through the snow.

It's worth noting that this moose has beautiful, colorful flowers woven into his antlers. They don't look like they're about to wilt any time soon.

... don't question it?

He probably won't run into you. He'll probably stop.

Otherwise Magatus is free to explore! ]

[ ooc: a catch-all throughout the month! feel free to create your own top-levels if you want for the ice cream party/magatus exploration though! i'm running this as free as i can. ]

Honey flavored...

[He'll try it too, blinking in surprise at the taste before looking at it Seriously. Hm.]

I may have to ask for that separately in the future. It's not that bad at all. Though I wonder if the toppings go in further, or if there's unusual flavors of ice cream inside instead? Something like... well, wasabi and squid ink isn't particularly strange to me, but it's not the first thing people think of when they order ice cream.

[Xiaolang takes another small spoonful of the honey-lavender ice cream, taking a bit more time to appreciate it's flavor. It was sweet, but not overly so, and the lavender left a nice floral note to the rest of it. Maybe trying new flavors wasn't necessarily a bad thing? But one good one out of the bunch didn't mean they were ALL good...]

No, they seemed to have piled on the scoops before they went and put all of... this on top of it. [And here he nudges at some bits of cereal, along with some odd bubble-like things surrounding it. His nose wrinkles at the thought of such an ice cream, however.]

I did see a pizza flavored ice cream and a sushi one before I ordered, so I wouldn't be surprised if that was a flavor they had. All of this seems sort of normal so far...

[And then something catches his eye, and he squints.]

... is that a potato chip?
