Look at me...

Who: Golden (Kintoki) and EVERYBODY
Status: Open
Where: All the places. Pocky knows not boundaries
What: It’s Pocky Day! Pucker up~. Make a top level, tag Kintoki, tag others, just tag around and munch on Pocky~!
Warnings: Disgusting, lewd things, like Pocky, and kissing, and worse hand holding *barfs*




[It’s that fabled time of the year once more. When biscuit sticks covered in candy goodness are distrubted far and wide. When people test their limits and challenge their fears and resolve! Yes, it’s that time… the time for-

POCKY DAY!!!!!


Anyway, Golden probably mentioned it to a few locals after trying to find some sort of Pocky and they probably ended up liking the idea. News travels fast on the waves, and now…!

Pocky, Pocky everywhere.

Do not resist and join in the festivities! Enjoy some Pocky and maybe even test your bravery with that one person you’ve been dying to smooch!?]

What is it?

[ Having spent half her life as the kid of colonist farmers, and the other half zipping around space as a marine, Shepard's never seen or experienced the delights of Pocky. This is something that needs to change STAT. ]

You want help moving all that?

[ She gestures to the cart and then to the colourful bouquet of sweets in Kintoki's arms, assuming he's a vendor on his way to the markets. ]

Sure, why not. Pocky, huh...

[ Like the boba at the challenge stall last month, it's entirely possible that something similar existed where Shepard is from... but Pocky isn't ringing the bells that boba did.

She takes the stick nearest to her on the cart - pale yellow, obviously banana flavoured - and snaps a bite from the top. Her eyebrows raise after a couple of seconds, considering the remaining half of the Pocky still pinched in her hand. ]


It's pretty good.

Sure is. Sweet stuff wasn't really a priority back home.

[ A pause, then a huff of a laugh. ]

Well, unless it was alcohol.

[ She doesn't need any more persuasion than that, taking one of the cream-coloured sticks from the pack and biting it in half. This one's even better than the first, and she nods her head in approval as she chews it down. ]

You got any other recommendations? I've got someone who's not had much human food that I want to take some away for, if that's alright.

[ The variety is insane, based on the array of colours alone. Shepard wishes she'd had the forethought to quiz Garrus about the things he's already tried that he liked and didn't like, but she'll just have to settle for experimenting on him like a guinea pig... it's not like she can't keep what he doesn't like for herself.

She finds herself smiling in response to Kintoki's bellowing laugh, gratefully taking the boxes offered to hern and stacking them in the crook of her elbow. ]


Thanks. You want anything for all of this?
onebullet: (improvise)

[personal profile] onebullet 2024-11-21 03:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Sure, of course. Thank you, Golden.

[ Her eyes definitely go up to his hair, plainly thinking that the name is fitting. Of all the people she's met in this place, Golden isn't the strangest name by a long shot. ]

I'm Shepard. You sure you don't want anything? This is a lot...

[ She's still convinced he's an incredibly generous Pocky vendor. Which... is currently kinda true. ]

Enterprise

[November 11th... this is a bit of an emotional day for Enterprise for various reasons. But this seemed like a fun distraction all the same. It also helps that Enty has a bit of a sweet tooth thanks to the generally bland and unhealthy foods that she typically eats.

The Pocky Game though....

...Well that's not something that she's ever heard of before outside of the occasional, passing whispers among the Sakura girls. If she didn't know better then Enty would have mistaken as some sort of battle or conflict of wills!

And it kind of is, at least in her mind, as she holds a stick between her lips idly. Watching other people test their mettle in the fierce fight known as...

THE POCKY GAME


A fierce fight indeed, considering how many people end up breaking the stick they're chewing on part way through.]


Mm... silly....

Sidestep

[personal profile] telepathicignorance 2024-11-11 10:57 pm (UTC)(link)
(Okay so, a day dedicated to sweets is pretty great, and they're super enjoying all the chocolate... but then they see the game. Nope. Absolutely not.

Sidestep is turning around and finding a nice hidden corner to sulk in and telepathically cloaking themself so that no one will bother them because fuck no and fuck that, actually. Unfortunately for them, the ability doesn't work as well on friends and some people here are just straight up not affected, so feel free to spot the weirdo hiding in a corner hoarding candy to themself.)

Are you okay?

[It's fine, cause here's a dork munching on some candy to notice said weirdo in a corner. Enty's far too friendly to let someone sulking and letting their edge show to not ask the all-important question -

How you doin' bruh?]
telepathicignorance: (Thoughtful)

[personal profile] telepathicignorance 2024-11-15 12:24 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm fine.

(They sound incredibly sulky. They're not telling her what has them bothered, because that would just be inviting attempts to goad them into it. Probably.

Though their experiences with Enty so far suggest she's probably not the sort.

They bite a pocky stick.)

[personal profile] lucky_e 2024-11-16 07:38 am (UTC)(link)
Of course you are.

[She won't pry too terribly much, it would be hypocritical of her to do so after all. But she also can't really leave someone that's clearly sulking alone with their thoughts! So...!

She plops down next to them.]


Which ones have you tried so far? There's so many it's hard to keep track of all the flavors!
telepathicignorance: (Thoughtful)

[personal profile] telepathicignorance 2024-11-16 08:52 am (UTC)(link)
(See, now sweets are a safe topic. Normally. Right now, that fucking kissing game is going on and they're leery.)

I'm not sharing any.

(They have quite a collection, too. Strawberry, milk chocolate, dark chocolate, ruby chocolate, mango, matcha, chocolate dipped in sea salt, blueberry...)

Strawberry is the best.

(Strawberry is always the best with Sidestep.)

You don't have to, there's plenty to go around for everyone.

[But, well, she doesn't need to point that out, apparently! Given their large collection of the delectable treats! Pocky is no Snickers bar, but it's good all the same. And with enough of them they can help tide over a hungry stomach for a short while.]

You think so too, huh? Strawberry is the best out of them. The matcha and blueberry ones were a little hard for me to enjoy personally.

[She said, thankfully there are no lemon-flavored sticks here. Such a thing would absolutely ruin her whole day.]

How about for you?
telepathicignorance: (Thoughtful)

I ought to commission icons of this asshole eating various sweets

[personal profile] telepathicignorance 2024-11-21 11:22 am (UTC)(link)
(They grunt.)

More blueberry and matcha for me, then.

(At least she has some taste. Strawberry is obviously the superior flavor.

Are there any flavors that Sidestep dislikes? They haven't found one yet. About the only sweet they aren't super keen on is biscotti.

They grab one of the ones with dark chocolate and sea salt chunks and start munching away. They still aren't offering to share.)

[That's fine, they don't have to share. Why? Cause she has a ton of her own, of course! Om nom nom!!!!

Her belly still grumbles even after the amount that she's eaten thus far. Carriers need lots of fuel to operate! And the only fuel she's been getting so far has been in the form of actual food. Which is fine and works! But!!!

Oil, steal, and coolant would also be lovely, please and thank you.]


Mm, I think I got some by accident too, you can have them if you'd like.

[Spoken through a mouthful of pocky. NOM]
telepathicignorance: (Interest!)

[personal profile] telepathicignorance 2024-11-26 09:43 am (UTC)(link)
Sure.

(They're happy to take more sweets, even if they're not happy to give any. Just as long as that stupid game is involved.)

[personal profile] lucky_e 2024-12-01 12:19 am (UTC)(link)
[And they get handed more! Like a lot more! Like an extra armful more! Enjoy!]
telepathicignorance: (Interest!)

[personal profile] telepathicignorance 2024-12-03 08:49 am (UTC)(link)
(And they will immediately stuff like, three blueberry sticks in their mouth.)

Thanks.

(Speaking while eating? Yeah, apparently. At least they bothered to thank her.)
