Let them eat cake; Lemon Cello Church

[menaretrash]

[ Listen. After the last few... months? Whatever -- after the last few whatevers, Ann thinks she deserves cake, despite all of the work she's putting into her training to beat one Seto Kaiba to better herself; at least she's been blessed with the ability to eat and eat and eat and never gain an ounce of fat, something she considers both a gift and a curse, and something she's really learned the hard way not to talk about, at least a home, lest she make more jealous enemies in the modeling world.

She hums, inspecting each and every cake that lines the walls as if they were diamonds to be accessed. ]

...If I could eat every single one, I would. But that's probably too much. [ You. She's talking to you. ] ....Is it too much, though?

[thats_it]

[Ignis, too, looks up from where he's been inspecting the cakes. they look edible -- more than, in fact -- but he can't say he's not a little suspicious. glass case around them or no, this feels a bit like a fairy story, where the evil witch leaves cakes for unsuspecting children]

I wouldn't recommend it. [evil cake or no] You'd likely end with a tummy ache. [maybe. 'eating' around here is just as weird as anything else, he's noticed]

[menaretrash]

[ This is literally the most important decision Ann's going to make today. Maybe even this month, if months were a thing. Cake and sweets in general are something she takes very seriously. She hums at Ignis's words, squinting at a cream cake that she's been debating on for far too long. ]

True... then again, I'm not sure if tummy aches are even possible here. We could eat the glass and it wouldn't hurt us... of course, maybe tempting fate isn't the best option, either. [ She sighs, shoulders dropping. ]

[thats_it]

Also true. [which is somewhat horrifying, but he's not going to get into that, right now] I suppose, if you're feeling brave ... [she could be a guinea pig!]

[menaretrash]

You're new, huh? [ Namely, she hasn't seen him before, and she's pretty sure she's seen and maybe even met most of the people in the Void at least once at this point. ] Aha, I don't think I could be that brave. If my friend Ryuji were here, though...

[ ...then she'd just make HIM be the guinea pig. ]

[thats_it]

I am. [he'll introduce himself here, in a minute, but right now, the cakes are still much more important] Perhaps just one, then? [that way, she wouldn't need a guinea pig to see what happens if and when you eat them all. she could have her cake and eat it, too! never mind the fact that he's very aware that's not what that saying means]

[menaretrash]

It's nice to meet you! [ Even over a random conversation about cakes. She laughs, a little nervously, though. ] Yeah, maybe... just one. For now.

[thats_it]

[he nods]

And you. [he pauses, then adds] Ignis Scientia, by the by. [because exchanging names is important! and might give her an out, if she's having second thoughts about using herself as a cake guinea pig]

[menaretrash]

Ann Takamaki. [ Ah, his name is exotic! It's different, and she likes it. ] When did you arrive, Ignis-san?

[thats_it]

[this time, the nod he offers her is a little more formal, somehow -- just shy of a bow and ever polite. did he mention it was a pleasure?]

[when he rights himself, he looks thoughtful for a moment, before shaking his head faintly] A month ago, perhaps? [a beat] I'm sure you've noticed how oddly time behaves here. [it's gotten better, from what he understands, but it's still not perfect]

[menaretrash]

[ She half wonders if this guy is some sort of royalty. Exotic name, dressed sharply, cute accent... and he seems intelligent, too. ]

I see... I hope you've been able to settle in well enough. This place is kinda crazy sometimes.

[thats_it]

[not a Prince, but he definitely has training in courtly manners, for all that he attended more formal events than the actual prince did, before everything went to hell. he's not a mind-reader, however, and so rather than supply that, he tosses a glance over his shoulder before nodding]

So I'd noticed. [a beat] I was lucky enough to have a few friends from hope, to help me adjust, though, thankfully. [and another] Perhaps you've met them? Noct and Prompto?

[obsessiveness]

[ izumi's in the area too, exploring the other places he hasn't been yet - and he's not going to lie, the cakes don't look half bad. but at ann's question, he immediately makes a face. ]

Hah? Of course it is too much! Don't you know how many calories there are in every bite! And no, I don't care if shit like that doesn't exist in this world right now.

[ ann just had to ask for an opinion from a model who just so happens to be very persnickety of his weight, huh. ]

[menaretrash]

[ The voice is familiar, and when she looks over, Ann has to blink a few times. It's been a little while since the last time she's seen Izumi, and likely, he doesn't recognize her right off the bat. Maybe he won't, which would be for the best -- if he hasn't noticed her pigtails and voice just yet, he might not. ]

Shouldn't you take advantage of that, then, while you can? I guess I've always been lucky, weight has never been an issue for me.

[ She's not going to go very much further into detail with that, of course -- she's not trying to gain another hater, thanks. ]

[obsessiveness]

You're saying that now, but later on you might not fit in your catgirl getup of yours.

[ so... yes, he has an idea who she is. sorry, ann. ]

But you did save me from that hellscape from back then, so... Thanks. I guess. [ huffs. ] Still, you could try exercising some restraint. I may not be a sweets guy, but even an entire cake would be too much for anyone.

[menaretrash]

H-hey, shhh! Someone might hear you.

[ God dammit, of COURSE he would. UGH. ]

Sure, sure, it's no problem. Just glad that's all over with. [ She arches a brow, however, and then shrugs again. ] Dunno, I've never had any issue with wolfing cakes and pies down...

[obsessiveness]

[ he just waves her off. ]

Who else is going to come at you for wearing that getup anyway? I'll be the judge of that.

[ seriously he has a Lot to say about ann's outfit but. later. ]

Even back in your world? Your metabolism may be strong, but it can only go so far. You're going to exercise some restraint from now on before we can all go back to our worlds one day.

[menaretrash]

I have enemies--

[ Jeez, what the hell is even going on right now? Ann just stares at him for a few moments. ]

Yeah, of course. Wait... what? Why would I do that!?

[ Seriously, dude. WHY would she do something like that? That's crazy talk! ]
