06: Marshmallow test runs? [video]

[needsteaplz]

[The feed starts with Saori and Kiyomi, her Gaomon, in the kitchen behind that cafeteria. Guren's holding onto the D-Terminal.]

I don't get it, Saori. Isn't still too early to be making stuff for this Christmas holiday?

Yes, Guren but it's a test run. I have to admit it's been a while since I made this sort of stuff and for a lot of people on top of that. And hey, you should've told me this was recording!

[She clears her throat.]

Yes, I'm planning on making hot cocoa mixes for everyone. I do have a few possible flavors like peppermint, spiced and even caramel and sea salt. Let me know if you have a preferred flavor, want to request something I didn't mention and/or if you want extra marshmallows or not.

Oh, speaking of marshmallows, they should be ready to cut now. Kiyomi, can you get the powdered sugar mixture we used earlier?

Sure thing, Saori! [She gets off the kitchen stool and walks off screen. A few seconds later, she can be heard and there's a sudden clatter and gasp. WHOOSH! A huge cloud of white flies up and covers even the D-terminal screen. Saori can be heard coughing as Kiyomi apologizes many times and a human hand reaches over to wipe the screen clean. ]

For everyone who has just arrived recently, I'm Saori and it's very nice to meet you all.

[Did someone mention food? Duo immediately answers! Of course, he's just a little close to the screen so all you can see are his blue-almost-purple eyes.]

Hey! What are those? You can eat those, right?

[needsteaplz]

Yes! I almost forgot not everyone knows what these are. Cocoa is a sweet hot drink people often drink in cold winter. Sometimes they add marshmallows.

[She pulls out a few finished marshmallows on a tray. Just in case, she picked up one for a closer view.]

They float in the cocoa and slowly melt. Of course they're pretty fun to eat on their own too.

[What's that saying about the way to a man's heart is through his stomach? Yeah, the same could be said about little boys.]

I know about cocoa, but those...marshmallows. Are they good? Like...now?

[needsteaplz]

Yeah, they are actually. We made quite a lot for the test batch. I wouldn't parting with a few. We're in the kitchen behind the cafeteria in the newbie apartments.

Trust me we're gonna be here for a while.

[She's still dusting herself off from the powdered sugar and corn cornstarch explosion earlier.]

[Duo sits back from the D-Terminal screen enough to show the face of a child, probably between 6 and 8 years old. He stares a moment before the feed cuts out.

Several minutes later, the sound of the door to the cafeteria opening and closing can be heard. The slight scuffling of slippers on the floor follows, quick and actually rather quiet. Even entering the kitchen, mostly what can be noticed are sounds, though the occasional glimpse of a braid tail can be seen going around the corners of cabinets and tables. Things go quiet...

Until the sight of a small hand peeking up over Saori's work station is easy to be seen. It moves around, perhaps reaching for the marshmallows mentioned before.]

[Saori put a finger to her lips to shush her digimon, whose ears perked up when they heard the door open. She can't help but smile and quietly placed a few finished marshmallows on a plate and slid it over to where the hand was searching.]

[The little hand pats around the work station until it manages to find the plate with the marshmallows. His fingers wrap around a couple of them, and pull them off the plate and over the edge of the work station out of view. There's the soft sound of chewing (not the obnoxious kind) that is quickly followed by the hand once more popping up to take the rest of the marshmallows that are on the plate.]
