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

[Video -> Action]
Ah! That's okay you don't need to bring cake I-I've got enough here and...
[Well... since he's offering anyways.]
But um... thank you that would be nice.
[Ilyana opens the door with a nervous smile, truly apologetic that she made him think she wanted to eat him.]
Hehe... welcome to my humble apartment Red.
[Action]
[He's practically pushing it into Ilyana's hands; it's just a plastic container, still labeled "Savarin," with about a quarter of the cake left.]
I hope ya like it! ["Better than me," he thinks.]
[Action]
[Now she's just teasing you at this point Red.]
I was wondering, did you have a favorite flavor of cake?
[Although... if she was trying to eat you, offering you cake could be much like the story of Hansel and Gretel... and she is a mage which is close to a witch.]
[Action]
[Red's never heard of Hansel and Gretel, but he does know when someone's trying to eat him--]
Y-ya know what, I'm actually not feelin' well, came down with a nasty stomach bug a few minutes ago, you know how it is, right?
[Red's backing away slowly, trying to put a little distance between him and her if something happens. You humans just love to eat weird things, and Red doesn't want to find out how weird.]
[Action]
[She looks genuinely sad that he's leaving.]
I'm sorry... At least... at least let me send some cake home with you, okay? You've been so nice to come all this way and share your cake with me, it's the least I can do.
[Don't you feel a little silly now for thinking she was going to eat you?]
[Action]
S-so you're sayin' you're not gonna eat me? Why'd you say all that weird stuff then?
[He takes a step forward, and the smell of the cake hits him square in the nose. It's amazing... he'll definitely have to be nice to Ilyana now.]
[Action]
[She gives him quite the look at that.]
Red... I don't eat people... or anything that can talk for that matter. Even if I did, what kind of monster would I have to be to eat my own guests?
[She frowns again, even while slicing off a piece of cake and offering it to him.]
I'm sorry if this offends you... and I don't mean to sound rude or anything but... you're possibly one of the least appetizing people I've ever met. I just thought your name was... kind of catchy.
[Action]
I'm sorry. Still not used to seein' all these humans around, and I've seen so many weird ones that I dunno what you can do. That and the only two I met before Luceti were monsters.
[There's some work to be done on both sides, evidently. Red just sighs, taking a small bite out of the cake and feeling shameful.]
[Action]
[She hesitates before taking a bite of her own piece of cake she'd sliced off. The magical flavor changing properties of it still amazed her.]
Where I come from I've met some humans that were real monsters too... There were also a race of creatures that remind me a lot of you, called the Laguz. A lot of humans thought they were all monsters because they could turn into giant animals... but we were probably just as monstrous to them.
[She's not sure if it's out of bounds for her or not, but she reaches out to pat his shoulder reassuringly.]
So... please don't feel too bad. I think I can understand where you're coming from.
[Action]
I didn't know either. At least ya understand, and I'm glad. Thanks, Ilyana. Sorry for thinkin' you were gonna, y'know...
[Red smiles - although with a tinge of embarrassment - before taking another bite of the cake. It's really good.]
Hey, I gotta ask, does this taste like the cake I gave ya at all? It sure does for me.
[Action]
[She let a small little smile play on her lips as she brought another bite to her mouth.]
Mmm? Oh! That would probably be because I've discovered this cake tastes like almost anything the eater wants it to taste like, or is craving most if they aren't actively thinking about any flavor. Hehe... it was funny, I um... actually made it taste like fish cake at one point, because I was curious what kind of wild cake flavors I could get out of it.
[Action]
[That tail's wagging a little, although whether it's emphasis or cake enjoyment is hard to tell. Speaking of, Red takes another bite of the cake, looking slightly astonished.]
Whoa, it really does change! You'd never get sick of eatin' this! I mean, until ya actually get sick.
[...And there goes the rest of the slice.]
[Action]
I... hope this doesn't embarrass you Red but... you're actually really cute.
[She'd be tempted to pet him, but she's pretty certain that would be way out of line.]
Hehe, hopefully this won't make you too sick then.
[She's cutting off another slice of cake, which then of course replaces itself through the magical art of... magic.]
I don't know what my favorite flavor is to be quite honest.
[Action]
Y-you know, you're the second lady who's told me that. Just don't start rubbin' my face and we're good.
[He starts chomping down on the cake with more vigor than before. It's fantastic, and it's also not long before the second slice is gone. There's frosting all over his muzzle, but he doesn't really care.]
[Action]
[And she knows that he just said not to rub his face, but he's got a little bit of frosting there... Maybe she should just let him get it though if he just said that was a problem.]
Umm... you want to wipe off your face, or should I just grab you another piece anyways, since you're likely to just get it dirty again.
[Remarkably, despite how quickly Red's scarfing down pieces, there's already a pile of plates accumulating next to Ilyana, almost up to her waist, from all the cake she was eating.]
[Action]
[Oh, Red, how inexperienced you are with romance... or even being called cute.]
Y'know what, just forget I said anythin' and keep that cake comin'.
[Maybe if he keeps his mouth occupied, he can avoid putting his foot in it any more. He just dabs at the frosting, which really only spreads it to his hands. At least he can just wash his gloves.]
[Action]
Oh Red... I wasn't jealous, and you are a pretty cute fox-guy. The truth is though, I've already got someone I like, so I'm not really looking for anyone else right now.
[She shoves a forkfull of cake in his mouth to shush him up, while handing him yet another piece. A sly smile finds its way onto her lips as she says this next bit, as it seems their friendship has been one awkward misunderstanding after another.]
Besides... I've been known to like to taste those I'm romantically involved with~
[She laughed again, finding the concept hilarious since just moments ago he thought she was going to eat him.]
[Action]
[Well, she just stuffed cake into his mouth. That's new. And... and dog damn it she's being creepy again--]
Mmmng! [gulp] S-stop doin' that! I don't want anyone nibblin' on me!
[Action]
Well then, you better hope I don't fall for you right? Otherwise you'd have a hard time keeping me off your tail.
[She raises a finger as she eats, motioning that she's not finished her sentence, but she doesn't want to eat with her mouth full.]
Not literally mind you, but you know what I mean. Sorry for calling you a fox by the way... I bet you probably get that a bit more than you'd like.
[Action]
Ah, that's okay. Easy mistake to make. ["For a human, maybe," he thinks.] Main difference is foxes got a more tapered muzzle than most dogs.
[He starts in on his third slice, trying to appear calm. At least the cake is delicious enough to distract him... kind of.]
Thanks again for sharin' this with me, Ilyana.
[Action]
considering the fact that she's already got a pseudo girlfriend.]Really? I'll have to remember to pay closer attention to the muzzle the next time I see a fox... although it's not like I've seen too many of those.
[She absently waves her hand at his thanks.]
Really, it's the least I can do considering how nice everyone's been to me. It's one of those things where... I don't often get the chance to be generous, so when I can I really like to be able to share with everyone. Besides... it helped me meet someone new and interesting, and that in itself is a reward.
[Action]
[He means that in the nicest way, really. Down goes another slice of cake; Ilyana might want to start cutting larger pieces.]
[Action]
[Call her creepy will you? Just because it's true, doesn't mean it's polite ;;. She doesn't seem to take it to heart though, and just sort of sulks a little as she cuts him off an entire layer of cake.]
[Action]
[Ah, now we're talking. Red happily digs in to the cake with his bare hands, stuffing his face like there's no tomorrow. There certainly won't be one for that cake.]
[Action]
And you're pretty nice when you're not confusing me for a monster.
[Just as she's predicting he'll be at his most off guard from this comment, she playfully splats a giant piece of cake into his face. She's just going to lick the frosting off her fingers as she watches how he'll react to having just gotten a face full of cake]
(ooc: Could this be the beginnings of... a food fight?!)
