🧙 WHO: Kagami and You! A sorta mingle post, do what you want.
⚔️️ WHAT: His best friend has gone home (again) so Kagami is cooking up a storm!! He would emotionally eat but even this is a bit much. So, have a buffet, everyone.
🗺️ WHERE: His apartment. Somehow.
🕒 WHEN: Forward-dated TBD.
⚠️ WARNINGS: Food porn, ig

It wasn't until he was making his fourth loaf of bread that he realized what he was doing. But it wasn't until he was on his third hamburger patty being seasoned and molded that decided there might be a problem.

Oh, he could eat all this, but was he going to stop cooking? Probably not. And therein lied the problem. Sure, he used to joke with his friends about being a fatty when he was emotional and eating more than his usual stupid amount. But he had a feeling he really would this time and even he would end up regretting it the following day. But there was a buzz, an energy that he couldn't quell. Could he play it off? Sure, if the basketball court that Takao was trying to put together was finished, but it wasn't. So now he was left with his other talent and that was cooking.

The portable grill was heating up and he was on his seventh patty.

His home smelled like bread, it was going to soon smell like meat. And probably more. He had a lot more bread dough left, lots of ingredients in his pantry and fridge and he wanted to use them. He rested his hands on the counter, propping himself up for a moment as he thought about what to do. He could just have a veritable mountain leftovers, he could likely finish it all before they went bad but... nah. That wasn't gonna cut it. He placed each patty on the grill and then took a moment to wash his hands and grab his phone.

He sent out a quick network post, complete with video to show what he had made so far, and then left it open for requests. May as well see what others wanted that he could -- maybe -- make.

Then, he set the phone down and opened the door and kept the screen door closed. The smell of food would definitely waft out, but it would also prevent Tiger from wandering off. Byakko was off doing whatever he did when he wasn't around, so that saved on room in the otherwise small-ish apartment.

Bon Appetit, Avalon.

[ This must be a dream! A beautiful, amazing, succulent dream! Someone was giving out free food, and he was making MORE! So Crow drops everything he's doing to follow the sweet smell of charred meat and buttery goodness of bread!

It doesn't take him long to find Taiga's place, and he sees the door wide open, but the screen is in place. It must be an invitation to come in. So Crow pushes the screen door, open peeking inside.]

Hello? I've come over for the feast!

[Don't mind the drool dripping at the corner of his mouth. The aroma of the meat and the bread just makes him salivate.]

[While Ken was busy trying to reorganize his things to a new place, he couldn't help but stare at the food nearby. Looking at the food at then back at the door, he had to raise an eyebrow or two. While he didn't mind taking some, he had another idea.]

Uh...is anyone there?

[Although, it would be difficult to ask with so much items in his arms.]

[That amount of is... troubling. Kise wanted a piece from all that food, but he felt like there was something more behind it. Was this normal for Kagamicchi? To keep cooking without stopping? Kise doesn't know him apart from the basketball they play together and against each other (and that one time when they threw a party together for Kurokocchi).

Vila, Kise's familiar, is delighted and enters Kagami's apartment before Kise does, and instantly grabs an entire loaf of warm bread. Kise has to chase after her, a bit out of breath.]

You can't just charge in like that- A-hey! Kagamicchi! Sorry about this- she's acting like she never saw bread before.

[Vila gives him a stink eye and, whilst holding eye contact, chomps into the loaf without slicing it up. Then disappears. With the loaf.]

I've never made a pizza before. I'm more of a curry rice guy, actually. But if you need help, I can give you a hand.

[ Akira decided to come over after seeing Kagami's video. While he might not know him for long, he wonders if something is going on. Asking directly probably won't lead anywhere, so he settles for the safest subject—cooking. ]

Did you learn to cook everything all by yourself?

He saw the network post then decided that there would be no harm in seeing if there was something he'd eat. It smelled nice. Really nice to him. Like baking bread more than anything and he liked it. He takes a moment seeing the screen, and recalled that it said the door was open. He stepped inside.

"This is the right place, isn't it?"

It's very obvious that he's never really stepped into someone else's house offering food, but it smelled good and sounded good. And he'd be dumb to not accept something like this.

[ Stella's been feeding herself pretty much exclusively on free hotel food and convenience store garbage since she got here, out of a combined lack of money and absolute dearth of culinary expertise. So a post on the network offering a whole mountain of free, homecooked food? It's like a dream come true. She actually pinches herself like, three times before she heads out to claim some of it for herself.

The door's wide open, but it feels a little rude to just step right in, so Stella hovers at the entrance and calls through. ]

Helloooooo! Anybody home? I'm here for the food!

[ At least she's honest... ]

[arf]

[ To be honest he would've shown up anyway, but Taichi got excited about food and it was faster to text and get more excited than it was to actually get to the apartment!

As soon as he's within range, he gives up on following directions and starts sniffing the air, following his nose with his eyes closed until he's in the right place. ]

This has to be it! Hello?
