Capsule 010 💊 (Video)

[rassera]

[It's a slow day here in Nonah #005. There's nothing really too exciting about March 7th. It's sunny, slightly warmer (Don't worry, Maya let them know alllll about that), and breezy. High of 50's at most. But that was just it--nothing was really happening. And when you're so used to hitting the ground running these past few months, a few hours of nothing is an eternity for someone like Kaneda.

It was too quiet.

The feed opens on Nonah 005's couch, Kaneda sitting there with his legs propped up on the coffee table, hands covering his eyes in boredom. Fingers split to peek through, looking into the recording screen, before drawing his attention elsewhere, to the spot right next to him on the couch. There sat one Maya Fey, comic book propped open on her lap and currently wrapped up in an intense battle between the Lime Light and Minestro. He should let her keep reading, she looked pretty involved in the story…

But boredom is the heaviest burden of all.]

Shhhh..

[Not one to ‘disturb her’, he puts a finger to his lips while catching the camera’s ‘eye’, reaching over while he thinks she isn't looking to take her comm. Sneaking it past her, he flips it open, browsing through it to try and find SOMETHING entertaining.] Let's change her background...

[And that's what he does for a few minutes, cycling through random google images of everything from magic eyes to some weird chipmunk meme, lifting them up to the screen as if they could give an opinion. But then, he stops dead, eyes fixated completely on the other screen, eyes enlarging to the size of dinner plates.

Something unironically caught his attention this time.]

Maya. Maya. Mayyyaaaaa.

[Maya doesn’t even look up. This is a key part of this comic, okay. She can’t even tell who’s winning, that’s how intense this battle is.]

I’m reeeeading.

Mayaaaaaaa. 'We've got a big secret here. Pre-order today, and in a week we'll reveal our newest pie to our lineup. Be the first to try this sweet treat on National...Pee-Eye day.' ...Maya.

Maya.

Are you serious?

[She doesn’t look up, still. Despite that, the smile on her face suggests she’s a little amused.]

Maya. I'm gonna pre-order this pie. If we pre-order it we get to see the pie early.

You can’t pre-order a pie.

Yes you can. [A tap on her screen.] I just did it.

There are pies you don’t have to pre-order at the store!

I want -this- pie.

[And that finally gets her to look up, eyes disapproving but smile still on-- until she sees the comm.]

Are you recording? Oh my god. Hey!

[But rather than snatch it from him, Maya leans over to get a better view.]


Tell him this is stupid! You don’t have to pre-order pies!

It's gonna be great!

[ A cat sits on the screen, ears pricked forward in a way that seems cheerful. Y'know, if cats can look cheerful... ]

I think that's a brilliant idea.

[rassera]

[A Talking Cat!?!

You know, you'd think he'd be used to this by now--he met Sissel, after all. But still, the idea of a cat speaking gets him to almost drop Maya's phone, eyes widening as he leans closer.]

Holy shit! A cat called and agreed with me. See, Maya, THE CAT AGREES!

[rathercommon]

[ A cheerful laugh. And she calls: ]

It's true! The plan has the Cat Paw-Print of Approval.

[iamtetsuo]

[There's some soft thumps down the stairs near the tail end of this video. Shortly after its conclusion,]

Kaneda did what?

[-a very skeptical Tetsuo shows up, heading over. Hi, Kaneda. Hi.]

What did you do?!

action;

[rassera]

[Ah, Tetsuo. Just the guy he wanted to show this off to see.]

Pre-ordered a pie.

See?

[And he holds up Maya's phone for proof, and sure enough, there is a proof of purchase and a receipt for one mystery pie one week from now.]

action;

[iamtetsuo]

That doesn't mean anything! I asked what you did, not what you said on the-

...

[Looks at Maya. Explain this, not!girlfriend.]

What does that even mean?

[resipiscent]

[Pre-ordering...]

I could see there being benefits to pre-ordering a pie.

[He's genuinely thinking about this. Like, what if it's a secret flavour or something. A pre-order flavour.]

... but how do you actually get it?

video

[rassera]

See? This place is doing me a favour.

[Except that he can't get it til next week, apparently.]

...I think you have to go pick it up--it's from...


McDona--the place where you get burgers.

[resipiscent]

Oh, so it's not like, a full-sized pie. It's one of those little ones.

[Though...]

... They have good pie.

[monge]

[Tiny paws pitter patter down the stairs and into the room after the video ends, Komasan can only stand there.

Staring.

Judging.]

[Action]

[rassera]

[Okay you do that, Komasan, because this boy has no shame, and is practically glowing with excitement over this stupid pie.

That he ordered. A week in advance.]

[Action]

[monge]

[His silence speaks volumes.]

Y-You were gonna get a pie...without me, z-zura?!

text; comm tag is "Tadashi"

[tadeadshi]

Is it like

a pie delivery subscription service?

permavid

[rassera]

It's for...

[What place was it again...oh god he can't even say that name. He's typing this out for you.]

mcdonalds

permatext

[tadeadshi]

I don't think that pie will be worth preordering

but let me know how it turns out

video

[glitterateur]

You're buying a pie without knowing what kind it is first! [This seems like asking for trouble.]

video

[missleadingquestions]

Exactly!

[SOMEONE gets it]

[glitterateur]

It seems dangerous! What if it's one of those terrible pies that's secretly healthy and just pretending to be a dessert?

video

[rassera]

[Trouble? Or ADVENTURE!?]

Well, maybe it's meant for only the BRAVEST of us to try.

[lunaraneae]

This sounds way better than waiting in line for hours for a cronut. And pie on Pi Day is kind of a thing now.

video;

[rassera]

...Is that what it is? Pie day?

[It wasn't spelled like pie...or his translation would've picked it up.]

action/video;

[amadaman]

[There's no reason for Ken to be responding via video when he's just entering the house. The sound of the front door opening is audible over the commotion. Then,]

.... I think I'm going to go back out.

action;

[rassera]

[Kaneda's ears metaphorically perk up when he hears Ken, peeking over the side of the couch as he looks towards the door.]

Oi! It's a GOOD idea!

action

[rideme]

[And then suddenly Bull's door SLAMS open, with the Qunari himself looming over the couch. How did he get over there so fast. This is impossible.]

[But there he is.]

Where the fuck is the pie.

action

[rassera]

Shimatta!

[Holy shit--he didn't expect to see Bull in the room and hovering over the couch that fast. Gripping the back part of the couch, he leans back into it, head craning up and upper lip jut out not too unlike how a certain small member of his bike gang would do.]

Huh? We just pre-ordered it.
