You're my Cuppy-Cake

[derederejava.livejournal.com]

Not quite the meme we normally do, but I've seen it floating around and it looked like fun, so, why not?

Here we go, VDR, Cupcake Meme!

Would you look at that? The DR's set out a bunch of cupcakes for everybody to enjoy! It looks like there's a bunch of flavors to choose from, so why not have a bite?

Rules
• Post as a character!
• Someone replies IC!
• In your next comment, RNG ( min 1 max 8 ) for the cupcake that your character receives. Your thread partner will do the same with their next comment.
• Once the character takes a bite, the effects are immediate. HAVE AN ADVENTURE.
• If you feel like having another, the previous effects will still be there along with whatever new effect you've been given.
• None of this carries over into DR play, of course. Unless you want it to.

[ RED FROSTING ]
number: 1
effect: LOVE.
You have truly, madly, deeply fallen for the person you're with. Aren't they so enchanting?

[ PINK FROSTING ]
number: 2
effect: LIKE/CRUSH.
A much cuter variation of the first. May involve stuttering, fidgeting, and general su-su-su-ing.

[ HOT PINK FROSTING ]
number: 3
effect: LUST.
All of the sudden it's not the cupcakes that look delicious.

[ BLUE FROSTING ]
number: 4
effect: CRYING.
The waterworks, they have been activated.

[ PURPLE FROSTING ]
number: 5
effect: GENDERBEND.
Man, I feel like a woman.

[ VANILLA FROSTING ]
number: 6
effect: YELLING.
YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE YELLING ABOUT.

[ CHOCOLATE FROSTING ]
number: 7
effect: CHIPPER.
Everything is suddenly sunshine, rainbows, birthday cakes and lemon tarts! Isn't the world just a wonderful place?

[ MARSHMALLOW FLUFF ]
number: 8
effect: SHOTALOLI.
Age shift! The adults find themselves as children, and the children find themselves as adults.

[dopey grin on her face and a suspicious lack of reaction to the further reminder that KaITO did some weird shit]

I think it's the best cupcake I've ever had!

[was_no_monster]

[...yeah, we're not stupid. giving the cupcake a suspicious look]

...Liquor center?

[portalholic]

Well, that would have made it better, but nope! Just chocolate...

Really really good chocolate!

[was_no_monster]

Hmm...

[WELL, sometimes you just gotta get your hands dirty. picking out a marshallow fluf-topped sweet for himself and taking a cautious nibble—

...why is it suddenly huge and why am I suddenly eye level with your knees WHAT IS THIS]

!?!?

[portalholic]

C-- cute...

[was_no_monster]

[dhxjskahsjakjsjak A-AUTOMATICALLY YANKING HIS HAT DOWN—

...hat?

...oh god NOT THIS AGAIN]

I-I'm not cute!

[portalholic]

Pffft!

[wow, why is everything feeling so wonderful, funny, and happy?! this is great!]

Correction! Absolutely adorable!

[was_no_monster]

[ANGRY KITTEN SNARLHISS FROM UNDER THE HAT]

[portalholic]

[aaaalll smiles]

I don't mean anything mean by it, Kaito. It's actually very nice to see!

[was_no_monster]

[...looks up at her

...

PULLING THE HAT BACK DOWN AND TURNING HIS BACK ON HER >T]

[portalholic]

[more to herself then to anyone]

Yeah, a good day... nothing horrible going on... seeing something cute...

[was_no_monster]

[something cute that is now trying very hard not to cry and failing miserably]

[portalholic]

[okay, the 'chipper' effect of the cupcake? not really a match for the overpowering angst (tm!) of this Meiko's backstory]

Please don't do that!

[was_no_monster]

[hiccup 8(]

B-but you c-called me cute and I'm not! I-I-I'm ugly a-a-and nobody l-likes me and, and—

[...yeah so much for any chances of him actually stopping. SO MANY TEARS]

[portalholic]

[that's it, Kaito, you are getting a hug]

You aren't. Not now, and not before either...

[after a bit of a pause]

...and I like you. I'm also sure others do as well. Especially your father...

[was_no_monster]

[...well fine OKAY. IF YOU INSIST]

Yes, I am. I'm a m-monster, and monsters are ugly. Th-that's why people run away from them.

...b-but I hurt your brother. And Father doesn't count, he's supposed to like me.

[looking a bit shocked. had Kaito always been feeling this way? or did his change affect his mind somehow? well, no matter...]

Kaito... listen...

[kneeling down so she's closer to his height]

First of all, I think 'monster' is a pretty meaningless term. If you are talking about appearances... what of them? Would you judge someone based on how they look, yourself? I'm doubting it, as you really don't seem the type...

As for actions. I've met real monsters. You aren't like them at all. And all of that aside... what of your friends and family? Because I'm also really doubting they do anything like 'running away'.

...

...Creating something doesn't always imply love, I think. For robot or human.

...as for Kaito...

[portalholic]

I'm... not going to lie and say I'm 100% okay with everything that happened. It was hard for me to hear, and also really hard to see the... aftermath. I don't like seeing any of my family hurt, and it was pretty bad.

...

But, I do understand. I've heard enough now from others to back up your explanation that he was a danger to others around him, and acting the way he was... I also understand that violent means might have been the only solution.

I absolutely fucking hate that it had to come to that...

...but the blame belongs with Crypton, not you.

[was_no_monster]

...Y-you don't know all the things I've done, so you can't say what I am. And I didn't h-have any friends or family until I came here! Th-there were only two people who didn't run away or try to hurt me, a-and they both, they both d-died!

...If I ever accidentally go to where you and Kaito came from, then I'm going to go find the people who broke him and lied to you and scare them until they apologize.

[portalholic]

No, I don't know...

[grimaces]

...and I'm sorry. I... know it's probably not even remotely the same, but I remember what it was like until Kaito was born... and... I hope things are better for you now.

No one should be alone.

[portalholic]

...

[that uh, sounded kind of cute, actually...]

[was_no_monster]

[nods a little, quietly unhappy

and then, seemingly out of nowhere:]

...You know, your brother is kind of stupid.

[portalholic]

...excuse me?

[was_no_monster]

The last time I was small like this, I promised him that I would help him as long as it didn't hurt anybody, because he was just trying to stop being alone, too.

But I couldn't do anything until it was too late, because he never asked.
