TEXT (not a misfire)

[amadaman]

[One December afternoon as carols and the sound of jingle bells belt from every business' speakers, filling people with Christmas cheer (and exhaustion) weeks before the actual event, one imPort posts a text to the network.]

You'd think that with there being four of us ordering at least one of us would get our name right, right?

l o l no

[Attached to the post is a selfie of teens showing off their favorite signature holiday drinks, but the focus of the picture are the names -- confidently scribbled across the cup of each drink are Grant, Kenneth, Utah, and Moore, and anybody who knows these boys will know that those are pretty much the 4kids dub version of their names at best.]

Let's pretend there's a campfire and share some stories about ways your name has been spelled or pronounced since coming here. I'm sure it's happened to a majority of us. （´。` ）


((ooc: Any of the boys featured in the post -- Gran, Kidou, Endou, Ken -- may respond to you!! Likewise, feel free to threadjack and hit up anybody and consider it a shitpost free-for-all. HAPPY HOLIDAYS.))

Mint and Chocolate, it seems.


Did you want to try some?


[Aliea had quite a lot of children growing up, so sharing a sip of a drink was no big deal on his end, at the very least.]

[amadaman]

Really?? Sure! (๑ ˃̵ ᴗ ˂̵) و

[Ken, likewise, shared drinks with his mother all the time and does the same with his big siblings here too. He doesn't think twice about it as he turns to Gran and leans over, keeping his cup away so he wouldn't accidentally splash it on his friend.]

[Gran holds it out for him, not moving it too much to avoid any straws going up people's noses or into eyes, and lets him take a sip. It was cool, yes, but it had a refreshing aftertaste that seemed to practically match the snow.

The chocolate's subtle, but a nice undertone.]

[amadaman]

[Ken doesn't usually go for minty drinks so this is a new experience. The sip he takes his a modest one, eyes squeezing shut at first in response to just how cold it is especially after a few sips of his own warmer one, but then they're opening wide as he licks his lips.]

Oh! This is nice. Good choice.

[starlinings]

[Gran's eyes light up at Ken's reaction to the drink, pinpointing the exact moment the change in temperatures caused those lips to pucker up.

Were he not so polite, he'd laugh a little louder than he does, which is nothing but a silent little escape of air.]

Thank you.

I don't know why, but the mint seems to really capture winter for me.

[amadaman]

Mm. It does for me, too. It kind of feels like snow.

[It really is refreshing. He always knew that minty tastes like from toothpaste made his teeth feel cool, but this one, along with its cool temperature, really does. And he thinks he understands exactly what Gran is getting at.]

It's cooling, but it still leaves you feeling pretty happy.

[starlinings]

I thought the same thing.

[Fresh fallen snow, with a soft chocolate undertone. Worth the slight chill in his spine from the sensation.]

Don't tell Ulvida. I'm sure I'll get a look from her.


[This was texted to the network earlier, idiot.]

[amadaman]

[Ken laughs gently.]

I won't say anything to her, but I bet with the way you talk about her you'll get home today and she'll already know. She seems like the type.
