themainframe | 5.000 mph ⚡ HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY (video/action)

[ Wally is currently in Roaming Park with Neku and Cam where things are considerably less on fire than in the kitchen. He's still not sure how they managed to burn eggs. He's trying to stand away from them at the moment, though, because he doesn't want to ruin the surprise. ]

Alright, I know most of the ladies here aren't really old enough for this occasion, but, just in case there are any mothers here, I wanted to give a shout out to all of you and all the moms back home (even though they won't see this...). Thanks for putting up with us, we couldn't have made it this far without you.

That being said... I wanna dedicate this post to Commander Shepard.

Well, me, Neku, and Cam, and I guess anyone else who looks up to her, too. We all really appreciate all you've done for us here. And even though, you know, things have been kinda patchy between me and you, the fact that you haven't totally written me off or given up on me means a lot.

Sooo...

[ He turns the camera to reveal Neku and Cam sitting on a blanket with little sandwiches and other snacky food. Thankfully Wally had intercepted their attempt at baking. ]

Ta-da! We made you a picnic. It's a thing I do with my mom and my aunt back home every year, so I figured it'd be nice to do one here for you, too. Also Neku and Cam nearly destroyed the kitchen with their cooking, so... this was safer. Plus fresh air!

Anyway, we're in Roaming Park. I guess if anyone else wants to come, they can too? We just don't have that many sandwiches...

[ He looks a little unsure, shrugs, then cuts the feed. ]

[Something about Cam, he likes hugs. He really likes hugs. They're like, his favorite way to show affection, so as Shepard moves on to Neku he's a lot less hesitant and more comfortable, grinning over to the oldest boy of their trio.

(And most certainly not thinking of the kitchen, not even going to acknowledge it, how did he set that egg on fire, maybe he's a mutant).]

Try to fight it and we'll pin you to a tree.

[SORRY NEKU.]

[Neku starts to grumble about the failure at culinary arts earlier int he day- only to have Wally nudge him to Shepard. And Cam was backing him up!]

Traitors.

[But he still moves into the hug, smiling and, get this, blushing.]

...thanks Jane.

[Shepard has semi-fond memories of catching a kitchen in a military base on fire, so she makes the choice not to question it.]

I brought backup.

[She shoots a quick grin over at Wally and Cam before tugging Neku into her chest.]

[. . . She hasn't heard anyone call her Jane in a while. She smiles harder.]

Don't mention it, kid.

[ And now that hugs are over, it's time to eat! ]

So, sandwich time? I'd say "they're getting cold" but they're already cold... I'm just really hungry.

[ He laughs, mostly at himself. It's a running joke that he's always hungry. Pun very much intended. ]

I hope you like sandwiches and rice balls. That's kinda all we could afford...

[A reminder of the horrible kitchen incident. Cam can't help but wince...]

Er, sorry about that... Again.
