Characters: Ryoko, Kris, and ~anyone~
Date: february 11 (yesterday?!)
Summary: Ryoko will help people make chocolates for their ♥loved ones♥
Warnings: ~~foodkink~~ J/K N/A, except for maybe extreme slowness/backtagging on my part. assume that Ryoko made a vine post inviting people to join her to make homemade valentines' candy!

The kitchen today was neatly arranged with cocoa, vanilla, various fruits, sprinkles, nuts, icings, and everything else anyone would need to make the perfect homemade valentines' chocolates. Ryoko had also ventured into the wild and brought a decent amount of magic dirt, which she was currently making a heart-shaped mold out of. Seems like it could probably be transformed into any other shape, too~

"Now then! Shall we get started?"

Dizzy was ready, cute little apron and everything. She'd made chocolates before, of course, but she always loved a full kitchen. It was just more fun making things with friends.

"Ready!"

Exactly. Or... well, what's even more fun is making things with interesting observation subjects! It's not every day a girl gets to collect data on an angel, after all.

"So, for our first batch... milk, dark, or white chocolate?" Ryoko asked, gesturing to each of the open bags of cocoa in turn.

Dizzy looked at the bags as if the decision were far more important than it actually was. She considered various traditions she had learned...

"Ah, I think white chocolate is considered more romantic, isn't it?"

"It's a good choice! But, more romantic? Is it really?" Ryoko hummed, and picked up a spoon to sample a small taste of the white chocolate powder. "Maybe so, from where you came from... in Germany?" she quirked an eyebrow, remembering how she'd been called 'frau'.

"Well, white is considered a color of purity, where as the darkness of chocolate may recall more... basic instincts, I think. So if you want to go for the heart, white chocolate is better, right?" Dizzy explained her logic.

"That's an interesting way to think about it. It sounds like you have a very innocent love... how cute," she couldn't help but sigh a little and cup her own cheek, the very picture of a romantic school girl.

It was really the only kind of love Dizzy knew about. "So... does that work?"

"It does! Now, let's see..." Ryoko paused in scooping a cup of the powder into a larger bowl. "Exactly how many candies would you like to make? A larger batch of giri chocolates, or just a few for that special someone~?"

"O-oh, I... don't really have a special someone..."

Aw. She patted the other girl's shoulder sympathetically.

"--Yet! Think of it that way."

"Well... I suppose. I was mostly making chocolates for my friends, though, to answer the question. So a large batch should be fine, right?"

She nods as she empties the cup into the bowl. "Of course. When it comes to chocolates, there's no such things as unwanted leftovers, either!"

Really, cooking was just a matter of timing and quantity and ingredients. Not even cookbooks could ever get the optimum recipe... but, she hums happily as she measures out some vanilla and sugar and baking powder. "See if you can find a whisk, Dizzy-san."

And off she went, floating just off the ground as she dug around the various supply draws for not only a whisk, but one of appropriate size. After all, it shouldn't be too big or too small.

She hummed softly as she cut a small portion of butter to melt, watching Dizzy's flying with interest out of the corner of her eye, constantly collecting data. "When you find it, mix everything together until we have a good chocolate sauce. Feel free to taste-check, too!"

Oh, yes! Kris was very excited to learn how to make chocolate. After all, it was super rare where she came from so eating it was always a treat in the first place!

"I'm ready!"

Well there are bags and bags of the stuff lying around, as well as icings and chocolate chips and who knows what else. The Queen sure does keep a good stock for a sweet tooth!

"First of all~ would your sweetheart like milk, dark, or white chocolate the best?"

Kris peered at Ryoko with a confused look. "What's the difference?"

"You could try it, if you want!" Ryoko scooped out a sample of dark cocoa powder with a spoon and offered it with a grin. "Say aaah~"

Oh, oh! This was great. She opened her mouth wide. "Aaaah~!"

And Ryoko giggled as she tipped out the dark chocolate onto Kris' tongue.

She miiight have neglected to mention it was something like 80% cocoa, though...

Kris's face squished up, surprised by the taste. It wasn't bad because she had certainly had worse in her day. But it was....weird. She shook her head once to recover from the flavor.

Whoa, she was a little impressed at how well Kris took it. Ryoko giggled at the shaking, though.

"What do you think?"

"That was chocolate? I don't remember it tasting like that." It was supposed to be sweet and all that good stuff.

"You haven't eaten much dark chocolate, huh? It's a bit of an acquired taste. Sorry about that!"

She does offer a spoonful of milk chocolate in apology, though.

She leaned back in confusion. "What is that?"

"Don't worry, it's the normal variety. Like hot cocoa and the like!"

"Are you sure?" Kris wasn't quite trusting now.

"Of course I am!"

Would this face lie...?!

Kris is unfortunately a softy for cute faces. "Okay...."

Aw Kris. Luckily, this sample is much sweeter, so you can taste-test without worries.

"Sure," Fionna said, smiling a little. She had a few people she was actually thinking about when it came to this valentine's day thing. She was sure exactly how many people were coming to this, but she was sure she would do a good job.

"Good!" Ryoko beamed, clapping her hands a little. "Well, maybe you can start off by choosing an apron. Things might get a little messy when chocolate's involved!"

She herself had selected a stereotypically frilly pink one, which had already accumulated a few frosting stains. To be expected for a candy cook~

"Sure thing!" Fionna said, and had herself chosen a cool looking blue one with red stains! That was probably frosting, right?

"I never made chocolate before! How hard is it?"

Y... yes, that must be it. Though, there do seem to be some people with questionable diets in the Gardens, but hey~

"It shouldn't be too difficult, especially since I'll be here to help," Ryoko winked secretively. "But don't worry, you'll still be able to tell your girlfriend it's a labor of your love!"

Yes, Fionna knew ALLLL about some diets in the gardens and their particulars. She was going to happily stick to her frosting theory.

"My g-" Fionna stammered, laughing. "Nah, these are for my girls that are friends, not like that! I figured I woudl make something, to thank 'em for all they've done for me!"

"Is that so?" Ryoko teased. "Well, that's a little less romantic than I was expecting. But, that's fine too! Who knows, they might want to thank you for the gift~"

The way she was sighing theatrically and cupping her cheek, she was probably imagining a different kind of 'thanks' than what Fionna might be thinking of, though!

What? Ok, Fionna may have been naive at times, but she definitely didn't miss Ryoko's meaning. "Dude, no way. She has a guy back at home! Chances are she would just make me something to eat or thank me. She's a real sweet gal."

Marceline on the other hand? That was going to take a lot more than chocolates. She only hoped in the end she would listen to her.

"I see! She sounds like a good friend. Then... hmm, would you say she's a dark, milk, or white chocolate kind of girl?" Ryoko asked, gesturing to each of the respective bags of cocoa, in turn.

Fionna thought about this a moment. Amimiya was true, strong and steadfast, but she also had a sweet, kind part of herself she was sure would bring people to her. Heck, it had brought HER to living there, something she was still grateful for.

'Milk," she said, smiling. "She's that cool."

She measured off a cup of the milk chocolate and poured it into the bowl. "If you can find a whisk, I'll measure out the other ingredients and you can mix them together."

Fionna found it a moment later, and then thought a moment.

"I have to make one more batch though, but with cherries. It's for my other friend. Sort of."

"Would you mean cherry filling? We could do that after we've prepared the sauce,"

Then, a mischievous grin. "Unless you were thinking about experimenting. That's what cooking's about!"

"No, I mean a candy with a cherry center," Fionna said. "Is there a way we can do that, and bake the chocolate around it?"

She nodded. "Heck yes! Messing around and finding out how this stuff works is my thing! Let's give it a shot!"

"That's what I meant, so we can do that easily! Or... hmm, I wonder if there's some flavoring we could add to the chocolate itself..."

She tapped her chin as she regarded the ingredients in the kitchen, then the magic dirt.

"Oh cool! Yeah, like something to give it a kick! That would be so spice!"

What exactly DID she have in mind though? Now she wished she paid more attention when Cake was messing around with treats.
