Nothing to distract someone from their thoughts like a sweet treat and a friend. Yuki perked up on seeing (and smelling) the food truck, already tasting the sweet, cinnamony goodness. Hope being there caused an extra sway in her tail, trying (and failing) to hide a giggle on seeing her try to eat the bun somewhat neatly.

"Hello Hope. Having a good time?" Her grin made it hard to tell whether she meant with the whole block party, or the cinnamon bun. Or both."

[Aidan]

"...This desert is larger and gooier than it ought to be," Hope said with a little huff. "It is almost impossible to eat without getting a mess in your fur... and it tastes so delicious, it is impossible not to try."

She nodded slightly and flashed a smile to Yuki, then gestured at the truck with her fork. "They have deserts with different toppings. This is butter pecan - it is particularly delicious."

Lunar, meanwhile, glanced at Metzli and arched an eyebrow. He was tall and lanky of build, hair faintly curly. Where Hope was black, he was silvery-grey, with a white muzzle.

"Actually yes," he admitted. "It's a pity they aren't held more often. It's been a very fun experience so far."

[Resonance]

Xu returned with an armfull of cinnamon rolls that he passed out. "So this is round one. Gotta try the classic before diving in to all the fancy ones. Besides, that just means more cinnamon rolls to eat." Once everyone had theirs, he stabbed his with a fork so he could lift it to his mouth and take a huge bite.

Mei happily accepted her own cinnamon roll. She giggled a little at Hope's response, "I'm sure they'll have wipes to clean up with somewhere, or we can duck into one of the restaurants for a restroom."

[Uberwulf X]

"They actually do have gourmet cinnamon rolls? That's great to know, maybe they'll have something Damien would like, something covered in... y'know, blood and darkness."

She took her cinnamon roll from Xu, mouthing a thanks before taking a large bite. She had no problem licking icing off her fingers, and would be in the process of doing so when addressing Lunar again. "Well, I wouldn't say they aren't held often, y'know, there just hasn't been a reason for something this big in a while. I think I heard of some neighborhoods doing some time of get-togethers, usually to bring business to smaller shops and all. But an entire island celebrating like this? Yeah, this is pretty unique."

Hrist accepted a container with three cinnamon rolls. She wasn't sure how exactly they'd be split, but it was a good start. She wasn't even sure if anyone else would want to try them, so at least she wasn't wasting too much money like this. She turned to the others, then gave a short bow.

"It was good walking with you, I'll go now."

[Kyt]

Yuki happily accepted the cinnamon roll from Xu. She examined it carefully, tilting the container back and forth. Finding the end, she teased it back with her fork until she could start tearing off bite size pieces, slowly consuming the spiral.

"It's nice to see though. Having everyone out and about after we were stuck inside for so long-" A short tail flick as she remembered it wouldn't have been as long as some of the others, but she continued. "-well, it's just nice not having to worry for a bit."

She gave Hrist a short wave with her fork. "Aww, bye then! I am sure we will see you later!"

[Aidan]

Hope nodded to Hrist in farewell. "Perhaps I should have chosen the standard bun to begin with... though to be fair, this is quite good. They do have some wet naps on the shelf outside of the truck."

She took another bite, chewed, and flicked her tail. "Have you all stopped at any of the other food trucks yet?"


Aloe waved to Hrist and then glanced at Xu and Yuki. "This'll be good. Yuki will be riding this sugar high for the rest of the night."

[Resonance]

Xu chuckled at Aloe's comment, "only the best sugar highs for our heros." He waived with a free hand at Hrist, "see you later, Hrist!"

"That would be the All Hallow's Eve eddition, I'm sure," Mei replied to Metzli's version of Damien's cinnamon roll. "Though they might add spiders. Not sure how he feels about those." She nodded to Hrist as she departed, "see you later."

[Uberwulf X]

"Aww, alright, see ya later, Hrist."

"Yes, I'll find some of you later, some time after delivering these."

Her farewells given and received, Hrist gave another short bow and flung her free hand in a circle around her to create an opaque water bubble around her body. Once it popped-- audibly, and with minimal droplet spray-- she had disappeared from view.

Thank goodness for that minimal droplet spray, she would have whined if her cinnamon roll got soggy.

"Geeze, yeah, it didn't even really occur to me that everybody was actually cooped up in their homes and if they weren't on the field, some allies were stuck in their hiding spot for months," Metzli commented-- she and Yuki (and others, of course) had been time-hopping, so the effects of being under martial law hadn't hit her that hard. She wondered idly if this is how it was in the past, during the island's inversion.

"I... don't know how he feels about spiders, actually," Metzli answered thoughtfully. "I don't think I remember Damien ever jumping away from one so he might not mind a spider drawn on some food. Cinnamon rolls where the icing is drawn in a web actually sound like a legitimate idea, y'know?" She took another bite and covered her mouth to keep talking.

"I think I've tried a bit of something from every unique vendor on the way here, actually. Lots of loaded hot dogs and sandwiches, so I've been skipping those. But there was someone with pizza, but it was wrapped up like a cone, so I had to try that, y'know? And tamarind shaved ice, durian lemonade, candied habañero? Come on, you know I had to stop for those."

[Kyt]

Yuki's ears flicked as she "hmph"ed at Aloe. "Please. I can tolerate my sugar just fine and you know it." There was a slight grin and a playful implication sent through the pendants of what she could do with the extra energy.

"Spiderweb icing actually sounds cute." She tilted her head at Metzli. "Wow, they actually have all that here? Pretty exotic. But I suppose this would be a place to grab attention."

[Aidan]

Aloe's eyebrows raised and then her expression turned speculative as she considered what she could do with Yuki's extra energy...

"I was surprised to see those,"" Hope said to Metzli. "They seem somewhat out of season, but I suppose the vendors thought they would be a pleasant treat, all things considered. And I also think the spider-themed cinnabuns would be a very fun idea."

[Resonance]

Xu nodded to Metzli’s list of delicious food items, “there has been some really cool stuff here. I really want to go try to make some of it.”

Mei considered, “candied habanero… does it taste like much other than just spicy sugar?”

"You're free to make him some spider-web pastries Yuki," she answered the fox sincerely, "I think he'd appreciate it. For now, he'll have to deal with a cinnamon roll with sugar that'll be cooled by the time it gets to him. And that stuff was totally out of season," Metzli assured Hope. "But what else are you supposed to do with all of this habañero when people haven't really been out of their house lately, y'know? Personally, if I were some kind of cook, I'd think of new ways to make this food I have taste interesting, and get into new recipes to show off when I actually felt like having people over. Like now!"

She threw an arm around Xu's shoulders, seeming only barely aware that everyone present had sticky buns that would have matted her fur if she clung to him the wrong way. "Whenever we get our house rebuilt, I'm totally inviting you guys over for a housewarming."

Only then did she seem to register that she was asked how the candied peppers tasted, and she made a face of slight disgust. "I like them a lot better than their candied jalapeno, I can say that. The habañero has a kind of deeper, more robust flavor, y'know? I can see why see why people decided to candy mango with chili, and sometimes habañero."

[Kyt]

Yuki made a bit of a face, laughing as she shook her head. "Metzli, have you ever seen me bake?" She pointedly ate a piece of her cinnamon roll. "If I could actually make my own sweets I wouldn't be buying them. Or relying on others." She gave a nod to Xu, remembering the various treats he'd made while underground.

[Resonance]

Xu put an arm around Metzli, hugging her lightly. She knew he'd make her anything she wanted, so better versions of candied peppers were on the list. He smiled to Yuki, "if you ever want some baking lessons, just let me know."

"I might take you up on that, even if Yuki doesn't," Mei said. "I think it'd be nice to be able to cook better."

[Uberwulf X]

"Hey, no putting yourself down, you big green nerd." Metzli stuck her tongue out at Yuki. "I bet you cook just fine if you put your mind to it, y'know? And there you go, the best cook in the group just offered to help you out. You can make spider donuts for Damien, and heart donuts for Aloe."

She then narrowed her eyes at Aloe, who was probably busy thinking of something lurid. "What about you? Did you do all the cooking in your house?"
