Meet, greet and eat

[titanianblade]

(To be perfectly honest, Cornelius didn't expect to find other persona users outside of himself and Guzma. The head of the Skull gang was a stroke of luck, but to have found so many others who can tap into that power and help fight off the shadows...it's a welcome relief.

Not to mention the large, large expansion to Cornelius' circle of friends.

So what's a rich kid to do when he's happy to have an extended circle like this? Throw down. A bunch of money to get everyone nice and fed for a day. He arranged for a catered picnic and invited his fellow persona-users and any friends they wanted to bring along. There's a bit of something for everyone, so pizzas, sandwiches, whatever, really. It's a large, open space, too, of anyone's in the mood for playing around. Just like the food, there's plenty of options there.

Cornelius would be lying if he said he wasn't thrilled to have so many people to hang out with. He just hopes they'll have fun while they're here.)

[They really have quite a collection here, don't they? Marinette's happy, and during their little excursion she might have picked up a few extra desserts that were 'too cute to pass up', in her words.]

[They sit down, plate between them as they each pick at the desserts. Marinette's got a small cake in her hand decorated to look like a little bunny.]

These are so cute..! My maman would let me decorate the cakes sometimes, but I've never done something like this before.

[modelcivilian]

That is really cute.

[Japan and cute things. It would make it so difficult to eat everything here.]

You should try when we go back home.

[porte_bonheur]

Maybe I will! I'm sure they'd sell. But I think my Papa would find them too cute to eat.

[She giggles, snapping a photo of the cake with her phone. Gonna make a collection of cute desserts, yes indeed.]

[modelcivilian]

I know I'm finding it too cute to eat right now.

[And he really wants to try it... dang it.]

[porte_bonheur]

Should we.... do it quickly? Get it over quickly?

[If they eat it quickly, it won't suffer, right?]

[modelcivilian]

... What if we covered it with something before cutting into it?

[If it doesn't have a face, that would help??]

[porte_bonheur]

[She let out a sigh.]

Why does eating a cake have to be so hard?? What's wrong with Japanese cuisine?? Making food too cute to eat...

[modelcivilian]

You're right. I feel like we're committing a crime.

[porte_bonheur]

Uuuuugh.

[She frowns, getting a determined face.]

No, okay. We can do this. We can eat these cakes.

[modelcivilian]

... Maybe if we cut it in half. That would end this dilemma sooner.

[porte_bonheur]

...Good idea. I'll go get a knife.

[Brb she's off to go get a knife to slice into this poor dessert. She'll make it quick and painless.]

[modelcivilian]

Alright. I'll stay here.

[Bonne nuit, dessert. Your cuteness made them resort to a hopefully peaceful murder.]

[porte_bonheur]

[Poor dessert. Soon enough Marinette returns with a plastic knife, and lets out a sigh.]

Alright. Let's do this.

[modelcivilian]

Right... We hardly knew you cake.

[Mental note: Avoid anymore desserts with cute faces.]

[porte_bonheur]

Okay...

[She gives a nod, and then.... cuts into the cakes, one at a time. It has been done]

[modelcivilian]

Ah!

[The horror! Adrien pretends to fall from his chair.] What's the emergency number for this cruel cutlery??

[porte_bonheur]

[Marinette lets out a snort of laughter, shaking her head.]

It was for its own good!

[And now the task is done. She hands Adrien a piece.]

Well... let's do it.

[modelcivilian]

Executed for being too cute.

[With a hum, he is back in place and nodding. Placing the piece before him, he smiles.]

Let's. Thank you for serving.

[porte_bonheur]

[Marinette nods, then takes a bite...]

[...and she makes a noise as she chews. It's positively delicious.]

[modelcivilian]

[For a second, he's concerned, but she sounds delighted.]

[Slowly, he takes a bite... and it all makes sense.] Whoa...!

[porte_bonheur]

Th-This is so good!!

[Oh, this was what the cuteness was hiding. She quickly takes another bite because wow.]

[modelcivilian]

It is!

[Such deceptive adorableness... almost kept them from eating something so tasty.] I wonder where he got it from.

[porte_bonheur]

[Give her a minute to chew enough so she can talk.]

Wherever it's from, we gotta try again. And get the cutest thing. They taste the best.

[A pause.] That doesn't make us monsters, does it?

[modelcivilian]

[He wants to stuff it all in his mouth, but he refrains. Steady hand; small bites... but sooooo gooood.]

[He freeze at her question, thinks, and then shakes his head.]

No. We could probably ask for another cake minus the cute face.

[porte_bonheur]

[Marinette makes a small noise, nodding.]

Yeah... good call. [No deceptively cute faces for her, no sir.]
