42 [Accidental Video]

[flameandpassion]

[Rei is in the kitchen, which isn't strictly unusual, as Usagi tops her into cooking her favorite things eats a lot of food and, therefore, someone must cook it... but what Rei is doing in the kitchen is something of a sight.

Her hands are covered in a thick, dark, sticky liquid and she looks like she's inches away from throwing the pot in front of her on the floor in a fit of frustration. The counter-top is covered with various cookbooks, what remains of their sugar stores, a heap of dark powder, and a thermometer.

There is a gooey pile to her right of 'failed attempts' at whatever the hell she's attempting to do.

She is stirring the pot almost viciously -- until something within the pot causes Hino Rei's patience to snap.]

Ugh, this is the dumbest tradition ever! Who thought this was a good idea!?

[The PCD shuts off before Rei has a chance to throw something at it.]

But Rei-chan! [claims a rather chocolate-covered Usagi, from her face to her hands] It's for our friends! And you have to give special ones to Cloud!

[flameandpassion]

It's. Not. Working.

[Rei is about to feed the by-products of their gooey monster creation to Youma. And she would, too, if it wouldn't kill the poor thing.]

[saintedsinner]

-=See this? THIS is the reason why Ed's never allowed to cook anything elaborate.=-

What... are you doing?

[flameandpassion]

[...hold on, Rei is fighting down the urge to say some very nasty, not-very-ladylike-things, because that was recorded.

brb mortification.]

Cooking. Obviously.

If any of it turns out to be actually edible, can I have some?

[His chocolate senses are tingling. Greedy froggy is trying to get as much chocolate as possible.]

[Video]

[flameandpassion]

Usagi can give you hers.

*Look, a facial expression! Have a look of utter WTF from the resident Emospada.* What are you doing?

[flameandpassion]

[She adores you, Ulquiorra, she really does, but she so does not want to explain what, exactly, this is for to you.]

... cooking.

[followstheflame]

...Chocolate?

[Video]

[flameandpassion]

It's supposed to be.

[mere_shopkeeper]

Ah... Would Hino-san like some help?

[flameandpassion]

[... paaaause.]

You know how to make chocolate?

[madcuriosity.livejournal.com]

You don't like it?

[flameandpassion]

-- it's not coming out right.

[hisbutler_bound]

Do you require assistance, Miss Rei?

[flameandpassion]

[gdit it's you.]

I have plenty of help, Sebastian, thank you.

[mirroredecho.livejournal.com]

[Yup, it's official. You are the cutest thing ever, Rei. Deal with it.]

Having fun?

[Video]

[flameandpassion]

[Fuck everything, she hates her life.]

Loads of fun. Tons of it.

So much fun.

[He's snickering at you, Rei. Seriously. You did not just get mad at a pot of chocolate.]

Need some help?

[Video]

[flameandpassion]

[Shut up.]

I'm fine. It'll work itself out.

[Video]

[lastdragonlord.livejournal.com]

... Rei, it looks like you're having some trouble.

[Video]

[flameandpassion]

Thank you, Merlin.

[serenadesdragon.livejournal.com]

Trying to make something special for the holiday?

[Video]

[flameandpassion]

Trying being the keyword.

[Video]

[p0ker-alice.livejournal.com]

[Well. THAT looks like fun.]

Aren't most traditions?

[Video]

[flameandpassion]

Not all traditions are bad.

[exarmatio]

... you could always just find some chocolate bars and melt them down.

[Negi Springfield: Voice of Reason.]

[Video] 1/3 HAHAHAHA NEGI

[other-sights.livejournal.com]

... you're using too much sugar.

[Video] HOW IS THIS THE BEST COMMENT? /laughing so hard

[flameandpassion]

[...]

What.

[iceandivory.livejournal.com]

[...Why are you even in the kitchen if you're failing that hard, Hino? And after all those attempts to get Hitsugaya in there cooking for Sasuke.

He was going to say something, but then he forgot it.]

[flameandpassion]

[She's a good cook on the best of days, a decent one on all the others. Someone has to keep Usagi fed, after all.

But Hino Rei has never made candy before -- mainly because she has never had anyone to give it to -- and with Usagi as an assistant...

Well. Here we are.

She glances over briefly and huffs to herself, still covered in chocolate.]

What, Toushirou.

[saucey]

... What are you doing?

[flameandpassion]

[If one more person asks her this.]

Roasting small children alive.

What does it look like I'm doing?
