[Mikuru sits in her dorm common area, holding up a small notepad as cue cards. She squints at the camera to check it's on, then takes a deep breath, smiles, and starts.]

Hello, Garden! I'm Mikuru Asahina, leader of the the Garden Festival Committee, and we're recruiting new members and people to help run this year's Homecoming carnival and dance! If you're not so sure about it, you're welcome to work with us as a trial member just for Homecoming [though she would love you forever if you stayed], and you'll definitely still have time to participate in the activities and not just run them.

[She falters for a second, then puts her smile back on. It's smaller this time, though.] And this isn't related to the GFC, but if anyone has errands that need doing, I'm only taking classes on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday afternoons this quarter. So I would be happy to help anyone out in the mornings or on Tuesdays and Thursdays!

[And she reaches forward to turn the camera off.]

I really hope so... I'll keep an eye out.

[bratbeyond]

Me too. [he goes ahead and starts cutting cake pieces for them] How big do you want it?

[bunnypassingby]

[Mikuru holds up her thumb and forefinger about an inch and a half apart.]

[bratbeyond]

[He cuts three slices: one for her, two for him because he's greedy.]

You like chocolate, right? My brother didn't, so I couldn't make this often.

[bunnypassingby]

I love chocolate! [She takes her slice and cuts off a little forkful.] What did you make for him instead?

[bratbeyond]

Yellow cake, usually. He's not that picky, except for his weird thing about chocolate.

can I just say how adorable I find it that y'all call vanilla yellow cake over there

[bunnypassingby]

[Pause.]

What's yellow cake?

yes, yes you can ♥ i didn't even notice haha...

[bratbeyond]

It's cake that's yellow?

[He stares at her blankly before he cuts himself a slice.] Like vanilla cake? Or buttery cake?

ah, dialect differences!

[bunnypassingby]

Oh! [She smiles to herself.] I get it now.

[Nom.]

they're fun though!

[bratbeyond]

[Expectantly, as if he's expecting praise:] Well? How is it?
