[Donut did do good, gold star for Donut!! Except Kashuu isn't the one with the stickers so he'll just have to be satisfied with this clearly pleased reaction.]

I totally will! Wow... [PAUSING to take another bite. Miraculously he hasn't gotten mouthfreeze yet, but at the rate he's going, that's inevitable...] Hey, hey, what's your favorite kind? They're all different, yeah?

[helmsplitter]

[BUT STICKERS.....]

Favorite? I dunno. Never really thought about havin' a favorite.

[He just eats what's there and buys what's available. Honestly, he just likes it because it's sweet, but not as much as the donuts.]

Do I have to have one?

[adornmental]

[HE'LL PILFER SOME FROM HARU'S STASH NEXT TIME.]

You don't have to, but there's gotta be some flavors that you like more than others, right?

[helmsplitter]

[they better not be the dumb tanuki ones so help him cashew he will end you]

I guess? I haven't tried a lot of 'em yet.

[BUT that rocky road, tho. And chocolate almond fudge. And french bean vanilla. ...so like all of them.]

I got a couple other types. You wanna try those too?

[adornmental]

[Don't go tempting fate.........]

Yes! [Wow, no hesitation whatsoever.] What kinds did you get? What kinds are there?

[It's a whole new world.]

[helmsplitter]

[He jerks a thumb toward the freezer.]

A lot. I can't buy 'em all at once, so I just pick some random ones each time. Got vanilla, and the one you're eating now. I think there's another one in there. It was green?

[Mint chocolate chip, but the predominant color was green, thus Green Ice Cream is it's name forever.

Let him show you the world, frosty creamy deliiiicious]

[adornmental]

[Green Ice Cream... That sounds intriguing, and Kashuu will pop over to the freezer to start rummaging around, clearly On The Hunt. GREEN ICE CREAM, LOCATED--]

Ooh, it's some sort of minty thing? They really like mint-flavored stuff here, don't they?

[It seems a popular flavor for both desserts and teeth-cleaning products! How strange.]

[helmsplitter]

If it isn't tea, then it's probably mint, yeah. Dunno why you'd want to eat what you put on your teeth, but humans are weird. They'll eat cows but not horses, and they get all mad now if you eat rabbits.

[Honestly, humans!!! He has no idea why they're like that and why they want to eat potentially toothpaste flavored food, but eh, whacha gonna do.]

[adornmental]

They do? [Kashuu wouldn't eat a rabbit if he had to prepare it himself because they're so dang cute, but he doesn't understand why people would get mad about it!! It's a perfectly good source of protein!]

Have you tried the mint kind yet? If not, you should grab a spoon.

[They can dive into minty ice cream wonderland together...]

[helmsplitter]

[Dotanuki will eat anything, literally anything if someone cooks it. He has no idea why people don't eat it though because protein is protein!!]

Haven't yet. [He picks up a spoon and reaches for the ice cream.]

You think it's gonna taste like toothpaste though?

[adornmental]

[Dotanuki is the perfect opposite of a picky eater...]

It might. [But he's got his spoon ready anyway so clearly he's not that deterred?!] But some of the mint stuff tastes good, yeah? Usually it's that spearmint stuff that tastes funny.

[helmsplitter]

[he's a hoover vacuum cleaner

Anyway, time to do this!!! If it's awful, he'll probably feed it to one of the swords with messed up taste buds. Or the kid who makes ice, who the ice cream is technically always kept for anyway. One of the two.

Dotanuki takes a spoonful, then passes it back to Kashuu.]

I haven't really eaten a lot of it. Been sticking to things I can carry with me easily.

[Like beef jerky and trail mix. He eyes the green concoction on his spoon, then sticks it in his mouth.

...

WTF IS THIS. He isn't sure if it's good or a foul being from the black lagoon, and makes a face accordingly.]

[adornmental]

Spearmint's no good, but I'll find you some minty stuff to try that you can carry around.

[Because a sword shouldn't just exist off of beef jerky and trail mix okay, no matter how good they are...

BUT WHAT KIND OF REACTION IS THAT. Kashuu, who still hasn't eaten his spoonful yet, glances down at it warily.]

Is it, like... good? Toothpaste-y? [He should probably just try his own BUT HE'S CONCERNED. It takes him a couple of seconds to actually pop his spoon into his mouth, but when he does, he's pleasantly surprised! Compared to spearmint, this is definitely mint-mint and not bad at all.]

Oooh! That's pretty good, isn't it?

[helmsplitter]

[Is that what "good" is? Because he can't really tell. It's sweet - sweeter than he'd though it would be. And it's...fresh? He has no idea what the hell he just stuck in his mouth. He pulls the ice cream off the spoon, finishing it off, then stares at the spoon like it just betrayed his family and he must seek revenge.]

I dunno. You like it? Tastes weird to me.

[adornmental]

[Kashuu sure doesn't seem mad at it, if nothing else. He even goes in for another spoonful because it's so nice and refreshing and doesn't toe the border of dental care!]

It's nice. I mean yeah, it's kinda weird, but it's like - it kinda wakes you up, right? Between the cold and the flavor.

[helmsplitter]

Rather just eat toothpaste.

[Because he tried that once, when he first awakened and it was gross, but not that bad. He stares at the package dubiously, then sticks his spoon back in his mouth.

Time to get something to take the mint flavor away!

He grabs the box of Rocky Road he usually hides in the back and pulls the top off, taking a spoonful of that to wash the mint away.]

[adornmental]

[DONUT?? Kashuu gives him a look like ugh I forgot you were a weirdo... But he's distracted pretty quickly because that looks like a special hidden box back there!! What's going on with this ice cream! He leans forward a little, still holding onto the mint container.]

Which one's that?

[helmsplitter]

[Don't give him that look, you're the one eating Green Ice Cream. When Kashuu leans forward, Dotanuki unconsciously leans back. Personal space invasion is something he's still not used to.]

Rocky Road. It's got nuts in it.

...

[HE SHOULD BE NICE, SHOULDN'T HE. With a sigh, he takes another spoonful, then offers the container to Kashuu.]

[adornmental]

[This version of Dotanuki is much preferred to the one who straps weights onto his arms suddenly... He'll set down his Green Ice Cream to take the Rocky Road container when it's offered, digging out a little scoop off toward the side of the tub. TIME FOR A TASTE--]

—That's pretty good, too! I think that one's the least sweet out of all of 'em. [Which isn't saying much since they're still all PACKED FULL OF SUGAR, but.]

[helmsplitter]

[shhh that's the future, just let the future come as it will...]

S'why I eat it. The other ones you're all free to eat as you want. Whenever it runs low, I'll get more.

[Ice cream bars and pints and everything in between. Food is delicious, even if it isn't as good as strapping weights to Kashuu's noodle arms.]

[adornmental]

[rip in pieces his arms in the future.]

Thanks for sharing. [Look, manners! He takes another spoonful before handing the tub back, since clearly this is Dotanuki's special ice cream and he should be allowed to enjoy all of it. Minus two spoons...]

You know, your taste in food's not bad at all! [Why did he say it like that.]

[helmsplitter]

[rip his manliness

Once it's handed back, Dotanuki shuts the lid and sticks it back into the fridge. Too much and Haru said his brain would freeze or something. Maybe that wasn't exactly what he said, but it's close enough, right?? Right.

Also, thanks, Kas-- WAIT.]

...What's that supposed to mean?

[adornmental]

[Warn a sword about these things, wow!! If Kashuu's second death comes in the form of a frozen brain, he'll know who to haunt.]

It's surprising! Like, you're totally the type of sword people would look at and be like "I bet that guy just eats meat all the time and probably plain salt", right? But the stuff you like is pretty tasty.

[Is that a compliment? An insult?? A mystery™.]

[helmsplitter]

[Jesus, don't haunt him, go bother one of the shrine swords. Except Nikkari who might kill you by accident. Again. A twice dead ghost.

Also Kashuu, you are burying yourself further into "gonna have weights tied to all your extremities" territory.]

What's so wrong about eating meat? You have to if you want to be strong.

[adornmental]

[That's not the life Kashuu is about... NO THANKS.]

Nothing's wrong with meat. [He may not stuff his face with beef jerky constantly, but he does love meat...] But if it's the only thing you eat, that's just weird.
