[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!

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Honestly, that's the part that surprises him. Of all the people who've given him that look about things like Valentine's Day and White Day...Tetsuo was the one to back off. There's something to be said about that...it certainly doesn't go unnoticed.]

...Ah, right. I knew that.

Since it's pre-ordered. Guess I'll just have to buy the other pies until then!

Like you should have been doing instead anyway.

Nah, nahhhh~ The pre-order is a NEW pie! These are the old ones.

C'mere, see which one you want.

[Btw he's gonna get you a pie.]

[Radiating skeptical judgment in a palpable aura of silent criticism, Tetsuo obliges by craning his head a little. That's it. That's as far as he's coming closer to get a look at this.]

This gonna be some bullshit future pie, or a real one?

[Your judgement means NOTHING, Tetsuo! He's been shameless his whole life! He sees your curiosity piquing, he knows your true colours.

You want a pie, don't you.]

Thaaatttttt depends. Do you want a pie now or when I go and grab one in a week?

[He's getting pies now too, but...well, might as well let Tetsuo decide which one he wants.]

I don't believe in future pies.

[Both a challenge to produce pie later, and a demand for one now instead without actually saying he wants one, just in case there's some trick to this somewhere. There has to be; it sounds like too much nonsense to be real.

But you can't just keep talking about pies and not provide pie, Kaneda!]

They exist, Tetsuo. Trust me.

[But he beckons him closer, browsing through the Mcdonald's online menu. Seems like they come in a lot of flavours ranging from apple to cherry to pumpkin...although pumpkin's out for the holiday. Why even show it if it's not available?]

Apple's always better than cherry.

[Fine. Fine.. he'll come closer to investigate.

The stubborn streak flares up, hard. Now that there's a divided line made, he has no choice but to champion the other side of it. Who really needs a reason why?]

But cherry's pretty good, too.

Have you ever HAD cherry?

[Brows raise up, curiously.]

No.

[He admits it so readily.]

...

Have you had apple?

[This is important, okay.]

...

No.

[He's got no reason or basis for an opinion here, other than Kaneda's bias.]

We're getting you both.

There's one that's birthday cake too. It doesn't even have to be your BIRTHDAY to get it.

You want it?

[Buy Tetsuo all the pies? Buy Tetsuo all the pies.

...he may also want the birthday cake one to try himself. Shhh.]

[A pie that's a cake? What?]

Birthday cake pie...?

[...that's a yes. That's very much a yes.]

Mmhmm.

You can have that one first. Tell me how it is.

[See: you get to have it first.]

You don't know?

[But he has to make sure. This is important.]

Mmm-mmn.

[Followed by a little shake of his head.]

I think pumpkin was the third pie when I went. Now it's Birthday Cake.

Okay.

I'll tell you if it's any good.
