Onigiri - 1

[A young girl in a high school uniform appears on the Plane, clearly distracted. Over one shoulder she has a canvas bag stuffed with groceries. She’s frowning in deep concentration at the list in her hand. It takes her a little while to register the change in scenery, but when she does…]

E-eehhh?! …where am I? This isn’t that funny store.

I-I need to get home! [She’s flailing a bit, mentally if nothing else, though the poor list is getting rather crumpled.] Shigure-san is expecting me to make dinner. The dishes aren’t finished yet. I haven’t even taken out the garbage!

[She squares her shoulders in determination.]

I have to find… have to find the… exit.

[Annnd the determination gives way to utter confusion.]

Th-there’s… no… floor… How am I standing?! Maybe if I just… stay very still…

[His eyes widen with delight at the options.] Sweet things.

Uh, um... W-well, I have some pocky, and some chocolates, but Shigure-san asked for those... Ah! Um. Jam?

[b-ittersweets.livejournal.com]

[You're his new best friend. He now looks positively psychotic.] Yes, please. [He doesn't want to take the chance of being denied jam because he didn't ask politely.] What kind do you have?

[sweetumeboshi.livejournal.com]

[M-meep. o.o But he was polite! So,] Uh, um, s-strawberry, b-b-blueberry, um, and one w-w-w-with lots of berries. I-I was going to make a desert, um, but you're w-welcome to them, um, sir. Wh-what is your name, i-if I can ask?

[You had him at the first one.] Strawberry would be delicious.

[He briefly considers what name to give.] I am B. [His smile is less psychotic, now. He looks more thoughtful.]

[Fishes it out of the bag.] D-does B-san like strawberries? Uh, um, do you want some bread to put it on?

[b-ittersweets.livejournal.com]

B-san loves strawberries. Especially strawberry jam.

No, no...no bread. Bread takes away the flavour. [Not blinking.]

[sweetumeboshi.livejournal.com]

M-me too! I l-love strawberries.

O-Oh, r-really? I, um, never thought of it that way.

[b-ittersweets.livejournal.com]

Strawberries are delicious. [Back to creepy staring.] What is Tohru-chan's favourite kind of jam?

[sweetumeboshi.livejournal.com]

I-I think strawberry. S-strawberries are my favorite.
