[I. ANNA????]

Yana-chan--?!

[just. gonna give her a quick once-over to make sure she didn't catch fire? hello??? IS HER MOUTH A FIRE EXTINGUISHER??]

You're not hurt, are you?? That was. . . an open flame. . .?

[he will try roasting marshmallows again in a second he just needs a moment to. wheeze. gently]

[makeine]

M'okay!

[ a thumbs up!!!!!!!! ]

It's like putting out a candle with your fingers! Your mouth's wet, so it's all good! Now get cookin'!

[ ...

i mean, it's sound... ]

[aspirings]

[he's not really sure he'd try that but like, she's clearly fine, so it's fine...

chill, will, your girlfriend's fine

roast the marshmallows]

[willandaway]

[GIRL. . .]

[he still seems a bit. . . wheeze. . . even after she assures him she is okay. but fine, time to pROPERLY roast these marshmallows. as per Tsukasa's instructions, he holds them above the flame instead of directly against it. they bubble and brown beautifully amidst the heat]

They're done when they're brown, right?

[makeine]

Mmhmm! Some people like 'em black though, but they're usually still raw on the inside when they cook too fast like that.

[ raw... she'll get her crackers ready for plating. ]

Are we allowed to sleep out here, by the way? It'd be super nice to cuddle under the stars.

[ casually ]

[aspirings]

[............ anyway should he uh


leave??]

[willandaway]

[NO??? THIS DATE INCLUDES YOU TOO TSUKASA!!]

We can ask, but remember that I have a campsite back at the house, too. The stars are visible there as well.

[to Tsukasa so he CANNOT ESCAPE]

Do you like camping, Tsukasa?

[makeine]

[ okay but like Everyone Else is there too... and tsukasa doesn't count for some reason???

does tsukasa like camping she wants to know too ]

[aspirings]

[Hm,,, well. He's here now, so he's gotta do his best! He will accept the graham crackers from Anna as soon as the marshmallow is ready so he can do chocolate duty, also.]

I suppose the only time I've been camping was that time we were stranded on a deserted island.

[whAT]

But it was pretty fun to camp with everyone then.

[willandaway]

[marshmallow, ready! he offers the toasty treat to Tsukasa-- it is a slight dark brown, but still ooey-gooey and delicious!]

. . . when were you stranded on a desert island??

[makeine]

Didja shipwreck?!

[ only one of these people is super excited to hear the story. anna isn't handing off these crackers she's simply holding them out to be layered on. ]

[aspirings]

[he can do layering!!]

That's right!

[So chipper about it...]

We were on our way to put on a performance in Okinawa when an unexpected storm hit. But thankfully, everyone was fine.

[their biggest worries were like.
a) will we make it to our show in time
b) food
c) shelter

in that order.]

[willandaway]

[I'M. . . . . . . . . . . .]

How long were you stranded?

[makeine]

Did you have to resort to cannibalism?

[ please. please. ]

1/2

[aspirings]

Ah, for two day--

2/2

[aspirings]

[anna-chan what the FUCK]

Ha?

Of course we didn't. Why do you look so excited about that possibility...

[willandaway]

[. . .]

[slowly hands Anna a toasted marshmallow]

[makeine]

[ smore making...!!!! sandwich for her... yes, this is hers, she's going to press the top cracker down to capture the delicious marshmallow and let it melt the overwhelming amount of chocolate before she crunches into it with a real "duh" look at tsukasa. ]

S'what happens on islands. Like in Lord of the Fries or whatever.

[ ....mmmm. fries. ]

[aspirings]

[........ help]

We were really there, you know...

[A beat, and he shakes his head.]

Thankfully, we were able to eventually fix the radio and send out an SOS signal.

[Puffs up, even though he did none of that.]

And though we missed our show, the venue was able to work with us in order to allow us to put another one on later! As to be expected for a show with such a star in it, of course.

[willandaway]

[H. . . HELP]

I'm glad you got to perform in the end, Tsukasa.

[yes. we focus on that. not on Anna's excitement for cannibalism]

What kind of performance was it?

[makeine]

[ who hasn't considered even briefly what human. or elda. tastes like? don't make her feel weird, because she won't feel weird. ]

A musical?

[aspirings]

[kind of weird, Anna.

Presuming Will is now working on the next marshmallow, it is time to start prepping for Will's s'more. Unless Anna eats this one too.]

Well, yes. It was, actually.

A musical about a princess attempting to defend her kingdom from invaders alongside her knights--a small but incredibly loyal retinue!

They find themselves in a tight spot, seemingly pinned in on all sides, when...!

[.... :')]

Well, it goes something like that.

[willandaway]

[yeh he is roasting up many more marshmallows. he is getting the hang of this assembly line!]

But you didn't finish it? What happened to the princess?

[ENGROSSED]

[makeine]

[ yeah, no, these are for her until one of them figures out they're not getting any And Says Something About It. that's just the kind of girl she is. ]

Did she die?

[ with the tone of someone unimpressed by the tale if so. munches on another smore. ]

[aspirings]

[Listen, Tsukasa thrives in moments like these, where people are hanging off his every word-- (Will's people, Anna's commentary is being ignored at the moment).]

... Well! Since it isn't likely we'll be putting that show on any time soon again, I suppose I can share the ending.

[ok Tsukasa.]

The princess is left with very few options. She knows that if she dares send out her loyal knights, who have been with her from the very beginning, there is a good chance they will be killed.

But she is their light and their hope! The leader of her knights kneels before her, hand pressed to his chest, to say, "Please, your highness. Allow us to protect you. No matter the cost... it will have been an honor simply to have served you."

[GEE I WONDER WHAT ROLE TSUKASA PLAYED IN THIS PLAY]

The princess gathers her courage, and sends out her loyal knights. The battle is fierce, and just when it seems they may be outmatched... she joins them upon the battlefield! Seeing the person they are so determined to protect gives them additional strength, and in the end, they are able to seize victory from the jaws of defeat!

[so ofc she doesn't die, pls.]
