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.

... /gets emo all over the cute thread. EVERYTHING I TOUCH, MAN

[shaking his head] It isn't just the stitching, although that is the most visible sign... I'm not sure how obvious the others are to nonhumans, but most humans I've run into notice something isn't right about me very quickly.

[iwoulddie.livejournal.com]

Mm...I guess it must be a human thing. [Goin' back to the curious staring, as if he'll somehow notice what it is he isn't getting.]

[hfjskadlkf t-turning his head away again, trying not to completely lose hold of his dignity]

...m-more or less. There's actually a hypothesis that explains it, usually referred to as the "uncanny valley;" have you heard of it?

[iwoulddie.livejournal.com]

[Thinks hard for a moment, taking his eyes off Kaito to stare at space instead.] H'm...it doesn't sound familiar, no.

[was_no_monster]

Supposedly, the more human-like something looks, the better a human will react to it. ...However, there's a point shortly before becoming entirely indistinguishable from a human being that the reaction becomes the opposite, with the object in question usually invoking fear or revulsion. Both of those reactions are tied into human instincts, so... yes, it would be a "human thing."

[iwoulddie.livejournal.com]

Aaaah...I guess I can picture that. Though that doesn't make any sense. If they're going to cause a reaction like fear or revulsion, why make something like you or me in the first place? Seems a bit masochistic if you ask me.

[was_no_monster]

Ah— w-well, I don't think you fall into the valley. I'm human enough to be affected, but I don't have any problems around you or most of the other inhabitants here.

...As for myself... I'm fairly sure my father didn't even consider it might be a problem. He doesn't seem to notice that sort of thing, likely because he spends so much time working with or around robots; I wouldn't be surprised if he assumed others would be fine, as well.

[iwoulddie.livejournal.com]

Your father...

['Scuse as the gears start whirring.] Pardon me for assuming, but would he happen to be a chap by the name of Dr. Kagamine? Blonde hair, about yea high? [Tippy-toes for accurate height illustration] He mentioned being the only roboticist here and something about a son, and, well, I suppose a creator is close enough to a father, so...

IF ONLY YOU KNEW, KAITO

[was_no_monster]

[...that was kind of cute...]

Yes, that's him. You've met, then?

Insert pun about Male Electrical Contact here

[iwoulddie.livejournal.com]

Yeah, we have. Good bloke, offered to ah...help me out, should, you know, something happen.

[...And then the conclusion from "My son could kill him" YOU ARE SUDDENLY THE SAFEST PERSON ON THE PLANET.]

[was_no_monster]

Mm. I'm glad you think so; you seemed somewhat nervous about the idea of him the last time we spoke. ...Not that I blame you, all things considered...

[iwoulddie.livejournal.com]

I still am, to be honest, but he seems to be much better than the humans I have experience with.

[May or may not be getting surreptitiously closer.]

[was_no_monster]

From what I've heard of Crypton, I don't think being better is much of a feat. ...He is a good man, though.

[spotting that, and starting to sidle a little closer himself—

SUDDENLY, a house! ...he hadn't even noticed that they had been getting close]

...Ah. This is it.

[iwoulddie.livejournal.com]

It's good enough for me.

[House! Aww, we were getting so close to each other, though--I mean yay, we reached our destination!

...Clutching at Kaito's sleeve just a little anyway. Just a bit nervous entering a new place, yeah? Yeah.]

[was_no_monster]

[that gets a startled blink and the barest hint of a blush

but then he smiles, and reaches over to put his hand on Piko's shoulder before going to hold the door open for him]

After you. ...Watch out for my cat, though; she sometimes likes to put herself in the way of people coming in.
