COOKING SHOW - 5PM PST - avante en garde

[idolpro]

[ Your unit-colored kitchen has all the basic necessities for cooking, but strangely, there's no refrigerator. There's just a table full of pebble-sized crystals. . . There are candies available in bins next to the crystals as well.

Though you can technically turn the stove on, you can't actually hurt yourself on it. It's like the flames are illusions. Huh.

Upon entering your unit-colored kitchen, you'll find that you can't see or hear anyone from any other kitchen. You're aware that this whole area is magically sight- and sound-proofed; no other unit will hear or see any conversation you have. ]

[ It's his turn to take one of the candies. And the memory that plays is a familiar one...

To be honest, it covers a wide range of emotions and feelings. But he supposes... since it started out with his terror at being lost, it works.

He feels a little embarrassed while it plays. But he keeps his head raised. While he might not have started out strong, he has grown. And this event helped shape that for him. ]

That's a very intense memory... You were a very intelligent kid.

Re: Savory

[heavyliesthecrown]

I like to believe that I am hardworking and clever. But... I am embarrassed at how I was quite inexperienced and unaccustomed to...life so far removed to what I was used to.

[ And that he panicked so much and cried over it all...]

Re: Savory

[deicider]

Anyone would be. Most people go through feeling like that when they get here, I imagine.

[ Gold is not entirely sure he can process everything he just witnessed and the mild confusion than acceptance of his own confusion is evident over the link. ]

That... was a lot.

[heavyliesthecrown]

I am quite embarrassed. Please forget it if you would like. My behavior was rather shameful.

[ Crying and panicking like that...]

[calmthefoxdown]

Well... it's good to see various sides of you, I'd say.

[heavyliesthecrown]

I am older now...! And so I've already learned how to do all sorts of things, I've even ridden the bus?? Don't... think of me as the same baby chick! Nngg-!

[ LOOK HOW MUCH HE HAS GROWN SINCE THEN DON'T THINK HE IS THE SAME NOW!!. The BUS!!! HE RODE IT. It's the most commoner thing of commoner things outside of instant coffee!!! ]

[calmthefoxdown]

[ Kind of. Repeats in confusion for a moment. ]

Ridden the bus?

[ equal parts unsettled and simply confused by it all ]

This was all...

Because you were in training to become a performer? Do singers devote themselves to the gods in your homeland too?

Re: Savory

[heavyliesthecrown]

[ He shakes his head. ]

No...not at all. Well, perhaps there are some. However... before this memory, I rather looked down on idols.

The adults around me always spoke poorly of such things as a form of gaudy entertainment...

And a... Well, that rival... friend in the memory became so obsessed with them at the time, that I suppose I felt lonely attending my classes alone. So I harbored an unfair bias against them...

At least until that music affected me so.

[ Glancing away. ]

. . . I didn't realize who the writer of that song was either. Not until I found out here.

First time in the rough side of town, huh?

Re: Savory

[heavyliesthecrown]

It was beyond bizarre and so far removed from what I was used to.

I am rather embarrassed that you and everyone here got to see me act so shamefully, though.

Re: Savory

[unbr8kable]

[Shrugs]

If you ain't never seen that stuff before, it makes sense.

...I assume it means you're the mom friend at karaoke nights?

Re: Savory

[heavyliesthecrown]

The mom friend...?
