cake

[aslyfox]

[ He's just about ready to dig into one of the slices of cake that sat on the counter, a piece already on the fork, and about to head into the awaiting mouth of the excited little fox. Cake for breakfast. Life in the Swordhaus is amazing. Their master probably wouldn't have condoned such an unhealthy morning meal, but it's cake!

With Mutsu coming into the living area, Kogitsunemaru hesitates. Is Mutsu joking? The cake isn't a lie, it's right here on this plate and the rest of it is still in the kitchen. He can even see it behind the befuddled 'investigator'... ]

... do you want me to put it back, Mutsu-kun?

Re: cake

[newtimes]

( Ah, Kogitsunemaru! The second suspect on Mutsu's list! Not that he thinks Kogi is a particularly malicious or greedy person but maybe it was an accident? He gets some sort of confirmation from him but... it still doesn't make sense! Put it back? Put what back? There's nothing there? )

What d'ya mean put it back? Are ya hiding it from someone?

[aslyfox]

[ Why is Mutsu teasing him so much? Was his goal to guilt Kogitsunemaru into not eating it? There's clearly a piece with a note next to it, clearly indicating it was to be saved for the one who brought it home.

Hiding it? Well, if by hiding Mutsu meant eating... but he only wanted one piece. It wouldn't have been fair to eat all of them himself. ]

I only took one slice, I promise. I haven't even taken a bite yet, so you can have it if you want! [ He even holds out the plate! Look Mutsu, here. Take it. ]

[newtimes]

( Mutsu looks down at the plate then at Kogitsunemaru. Down at the plate. And at Kogitsunemaru.

He doesn't see anything. There's nothing there. )

Ya're jokin`, right?

[aslyfox]

[ Kogi looks down at the plate, then up at Mutsu. Down at the plate, up at Mutsu.

... no, no jokes. Wait, is he really eating cake??? Does he have to double check? He sticks the bit of cake into his mouth and chews.

Yep, it's real. Okay. ]

Does it look like I'm joking? It tastes really good, too!

[newtimes]

I'm not jokin` and I know it tastes good!

( He bought it! Weh... )

What're ya eating? C'mon, there's nothing there! Is this some kinda fox trick?

[aslyfox]

[ He starts to cut another piece off with his fork. Kogi knows the easiest way to prove the cake exists on his physical plane and not another... wait. ]

Excuse me. [ SNIFF. ] What do you mean, fox trick?

[newtimes]

Ya know! A trick!

( Watching him eat another piece of invisible cake. )

What're ya doing?!

[aslyfox]

... I'm eating cake! I'll show you. Here.

[ UGH. Fine, it's time. The most direct route. He sticks the fork into the piece he cut off and points it at Mutsu... crumbs be damned. ]

Open your mouth.

[newtimes]

No, ya're not-- ( And there goes a piece of invisible cake right in his mouth. Look at Mutsu's eyes grow wide with confusion and stare right at Kogitsunemaru. ) ... No way!

( He's looking down at the plate and at the other spirit and. )

Kogi-san...

( H E L P )

[aslyfox]

It'll be alright, Mutsu-san! We'll figure this out together!

First, to take care of the remaining bit of this cake... [ Nomf nomf. It's really good, okay? Mutsu has great taste. He'll stand up and move into the kitchen where the rest of the cake sat, probably wishing that Mutsu could see it. ]

So... you can't see this? Or anything resembling a cake? [ He'll even poke the other slices with his fork. Welp, sword germs... ]
