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.

[Opening the door. Why can't these doors open automatically, what is up with manual opening?

Oh...]

Greetings.

[all_wound_up]

Hello, Kais. Um...

[Hesitating for a moment, Nano holds out the small hand-wrapped package.]

...I know you probably don't celebrate Christmas since it's a human holiday, but I wanted to come by and give you a gift anyway. Will you accept it?

[greatergone]

I've been informed about this holiday.

[The birth of the son of the God-Emperor and all that.]

Thank you, I suppose. But I also have something for you.

[Taking his gift either way and turning around to grab something in exchange.]

[all_wound_up]

Oh...! Thank you!

[She seems honestly surprised.]

[greatergone]

Here.

[He holds out...a backpack. It's not wrapped at all because he didn't know (and still doesn't know) that it should be. Either way, it has a slot in the back, clearly for a certain something on Nano's back to go into.][It really sticks out, okay?]

[all_wound_up]

[Nano blinks curiously at the backpack until she turns it around and sees the indentation. Closing her eyes and smiling warmly, she hugs it to her chest before opening them again and bowing her head in gratitude.]

It's wonderful! Thank you so much!

[greatergone]

You're welcome. Hopefully things are made simpler for you.

What is...this? [Said while slowly peeling back the tissue paper.]

[all_wound_up]

It's just something I made while I was baking. I hope you like it.

[It's a cupcake, frosted and decorated to look like Kais' face on top. It's not a bad job either, considering the medium she had to work with.]

[greatergone]

[As long as there's no red in it. Red is such a bad color.]

So it's a sweet?

[all_wound_up]

Yes, that's right. It's called a cupcake.

[greatergone]

I'll....eat it quickly.

[That was a compliment, right?]

[all_wound_up]

You don't have to right now if you don't want to, but it's best to eat it while it's still fresh.

[greatergone]

I understand.

...thanks.

[Again.]

[all_wound_up]

You're very welcome! Merry Christmas!
