5th Screw [Video/Action]

[all_wound_up]

[Video; afternoon]

[The feed comes on to show Nano, standing in her apartment wearing a Santa hat and an apron and surrounded by baked goods.  She's made several traditional Japanese Christmas cakes with cream icing and strawberries, and also quite a few cookies and cupcakes of varying shapes, sizes, and flavors.  It looks like she's been busy baking for days.]

Merry Christmas, everyone!  I was doing some baking and made a little too much... so if anyone would like some cake or cookies, please feel free to stop by.  I live in the Pisces building, in room 02 on the tenth floor.

[Action; around the apartments; late afternoon to early evening]

[Later in the day, Nano's going around town making some special deliveries in person.  For anyone who has positive CR with Nano (which honestly constitutes talking to her for more than five minutes), she's stopping by each character's apartment, ringing the bell and waiting politely for someone to answer.  She's got a small package with her, lovingly wrapped up in tissue paper.]

Hello?

[Action; a KFC in the shopping district; evening]

[On her way home after handing out various packages, Nano passes a Kentucky Fried Chicken franchise.  There is a statue of Colonel Sanders situated outside that is scandalously missing its traditional Christmas decoration.  Reaching up to remove the Santa hat from her head, Nano gingerly places it on top of the statue, giggling a little as she adjusts it.]

Merry Christmas, Colonel-san.

You... oh...!

[She's a little speechless at that.]

[acapriciousthing]

It... wasn't really something either of us saw coming.

[all_wound_up]

Oh... well... congratulations to both of you, then.

[second_destiny]

You do? But you made it sound like you don't...

[all_wound_up]

Oh... I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be confusing.

[acapriciousthing]

Thank you. It's all so... different, sometimes it gets hard to find the right words.

[all_wound_up]

Different isn't always bad.

[She should know.]

[acapriciousthing]

Definitely not. It's been confusing, but it's been wonderful.

[all_wound_up]

It sounds great.

[doesasordered]

Well, I appreciate it. Thanks. [He smiles a bit. Alright, sure, he'll open it up.]

[second_destiny]

Nah, it's okay. It's not a big deal.

[all_wound_up]

You're very welcome!

[Nik will find a cupcake frosted and decorated to look like a smiling chibi version of his face.]

[all_wound_up]

It is fun, though, making cakes and things for everyone to enjoy.

[second_destiny]

Good. It's good you're doing something you enjoy.

[all_wound_up]

I hope you like them!

[acapriciousthing]

It really is. If I had to wind up in another weird place, I'm glad he's with me.

um, happy new year...? ; ;

[selematpagi]

What? Heck no, Nano, I'm - it's still morn... morning...

[ Yukko stops and turns her head to the clock. She mumbles. ]

Well. It's only the afternoon...

[all_wound_up]

It's Christmas Day! Don't you want to go out and enjoy the holiday?

[Someone is a morning person.]

[all_wound_up]

Another weird place? What do you mean?

[selematpagi]

[ She doesn't have her mom to throw her out of bed... ]

What?! [ Yukko holds her head in her hands. ] I-It's Christmas??

[ She looks back at the clock, then remembering that she doesn't have a calendar ]

How long did I sleep for?

[all_wound_up]

Are you not feeling well?

[Because that's the natural assumption to make when someone loses track of that much time. Even for Yukko, missing Christmas seems like a bit of a stretch to Nano.]

[acapriciousthing]

We met in another place that brings in people from different worlds.

[In bed. It was weird.]

[selematpagi]

Of course not Nano! I feel fi-

[ Yukko sniffles reflexively. This gives her reason to pause. ]

... Tch, I had a small cold, actually. But no worries Nano-Chan, I feel better!

[all_wound_up]

Well, if you're sure...

[She's still worried about you, Yukko.]

I can make some tea if you'd like.

[all_wound_up]

There are other places like that?
