[Video/Action - Backdated to Christmas Morning] Magical Cake

[ilyana]

[The journal shows Ilyana waking out of bed in her jammies, rubbing her eyes to a snowy Christmas morning. A present is at the foot of her bed, and when she sees what it is, her eyes widen in delight.]

C-Cake!

[Before her is a giant, multi-layered Christmas cake, that goes all the way up to the ceiling of her room on the 6th floor of housing building 3, in the apartment she shares with Chun-Li. Unable to resit the hunger inside of her and the sheer joy of having a giant cake just for her on Christmas day, she runs a dainty finger along the side to taste a bit of the frosting. She absolutely shivers in delight at the sweet taste of that layer of the cake's frosting, only to blink in surprise when she sees the frosting on the cake replace itself.]

W-What?

[Experimentally she takes a handful of the cake into her mouth, discovering that it was the exact flavor she was hoping it would be. Then to her unparalleled delight, the cake repairs itself again, as if the handful she took out was never missing.]

Magical cake?!

[Once more she decides to experiment with it, not even realizing she's being recorded on the journal. She dives head first into the cake, tunneling her way through it to the other side, and eating her way out, just because she's always wanted to do that without consequences. She pokes her head out of the other side of the cake, laughing in glee as she slowly wriggles out of the cake. As if on cue, the cake reassembles itself, and spits out any traces of dirt she might have left behind.

Ilyana finally spots the journal, as she's covered head to toe in hundreds of different flavors of cakes. She smiles sheepishly at the Journal, and just holds out a hand covered in frosting.]

Anybody want some magic cake? I think I'm going to be here all day with it once I'm showered off.

(ooc: Ilyana has been given a magical Christmas cake that is any flavor the eater wishes it to be. Chocolate cake, vanilla cake, sponge cake, strawberry shortcake, pumpkin cake, carrot cake, cheese cake, fish cake... anything. It automatically repairs itself, so has an unlimited supply. What's the catch? Its magic only works on Christmas day, and at the stroke of 12 it all goes up into thin air. Anyone is welcome to come have some of her cake, as she's feeling pretty generous now that she has an unlimited supply. Ever wanted to have your cake and eat it too? NOW YOU CAN!  Can take place before or after Ilyana's shower.)

... Seaweed? I... guess there might be? I didn't know seaweed flavor was popular in cakes.

[weakahoshi]

It is on Fishman Island!

Um. But that might be just with the actual fish, though...

[ilyana]

There's a fishman island? For some reason I... I didn't even think that there were fish people.

[Well it's sort of hard to see Shirahoshi's lower half when she's that big >>]

[weakahoshi]

[Shirahoshi's currently rocking the (mostly) average human size of six feet, head to fin, which drops her down to about five and a half once you account for having to curl the fin under or sit on a bubble. She giggles and turns the journal's camera down to her lap. Her translucent pink caudal fin can be seen wavering below, where there ought to be feet.]

It's true! There are lots of us! A whole kingdom!

[ilyana]

[Well that should make it a lot easier for her to have cake at Ilyana's place xD

Ilyana's eyes widen in amazement when she see's the mermaid's tail]

That's... that's amazing! To think that there's an entire race of you under the seas. I wonder what the other Laguz nations would think...

[Because clearly being half animal, you must be a Laguz]

[weakahoshi]

[She lives just a few floors above Ilyana, actually. With Leanne and Marco and Ace!]

Luhg- what? We're called Fishmen.

[ilyana]

[:O How did I not realize this?! I'm so unobservant!]

That doesn't mean you aren't a Laguz just because you're a fishmen... does it?

[runawayhoshi]

I don't know. What does Laguz mean?

[ilyana]

Well... I've been starting to find that they may be a race exclusive to my world... Which is a little strange since humans, or Beorc as they're more traditionally called, seem to be rather universal.

They are a race of people much like us, yet they all bear some form of animal characteristics, like a tail, or perhaps wings. They have the ability to shift forms, from the animal with which they share these characteristics, to that which is more human like. Yet... I've never heard of there being any fish Laguz before.

[She's just idly munching down on her cake next to her bed as she explains.]

[weakahoshi]

Hmmm~ That sounds more like a Zoan Devil's Fruit user. Like Marco-sama or Chopper-sama. We can't change our bodies around like that.

[ilyana]

Really? There's a fruit in your world that grants the power of a Laguz?

[runawayhoshi]

Mm hmm! But there's only one of each kind at a time, so once someone eats it there won't be another one until they die.

[ilyana]

How very peculiar... I suppose that means they're also quite rare in your world. I wish I had one to study... or eat. I'd bet they'd probably be really tasty.

[weakahoshi]

[Shirahoshi shrugs.]

I don't know much about them. They're called a curse, though.

[ilyana]

That's interesting... there's something similar to a curse involved with the Laguz too... what's the curse of this fruit you're referring to?
