FIFTH RIDE ✦ ACCIDENTAL VIDEO / ACTION [DANGAN HOUSE]

[ VIDEO ]


[Have you ever wanted to see a biker gang leader be domestic? No? Well turn off your 'Gears now then.

Mondo has taken over the kitchen today, so anyone in the Dangan House has probably been unceremoniously shoved out by one of Mondo's smaller Pokémon. The biker gang leader himself is currently almost unrecognizable; his hair is down and tied out of his face and he's sporting a cute apron with Pichu and Pikachu patterns all over it. His shirt, pants, and shoes are the same, so that might be a clue to those who know him, but otherwise he's definitely looking pretty different today. It seems that one of his Pokémon has gotten bored and has decided to film him since the angle is a little low.

There's a small radio sitting on the kitchen counter blasting horrible rap music with far too many cuss words in it, which Mondo is happily singing along to. Beside said radio are quite a few different trays full of... cookies. Holiday-themed cookies. Little trees and snowmen are all over the place and they actually look pretty good, all things considered. Mondo is currently elbow-deep in dough - it looks like he's actually making these things from scratch rather than a box mix. He'll occasionally glance at a recipe, but he seems to know what he's doing.

After a moment of this, Mondo finally seems to notice that the 'Gear is in his Scrafty's hands and he makes a mad fumble for it, only for her to leap out of the way.]


Get the fuck back here, Ryder!

[Hope that didn't break anyone's eardrums... Also his reputation may or may not be ruined completely now. Whoops.]

[ ACTION - DANGAN HOUSE ]


[After that... embarrassment Mondo can be found packaging the cookies up in little bags. They're holiday-themed bags too; clearly he's gone all out for the season. He's still singing along to the terrible rap, but he seems to be in a good mood despite the hilarity from earlier.

If he catches sight of you, you're probably going to be handed a bag of cookies. Yes, even you Togami and you, Celes.

The cookies inside are actually pretty good! They're not burnt or anything and Mondo seems incredibly proud of himself for something like this. Come taunt him/demand cookies/wonder where in the good hell he got that apron?]

[Ah yes. Presents.

Eurgh.]


Personally, I'd rather spend the season baking.

It's an asinine tradition.

I admit I was disappointed when the study didn't contain even so much as a bastardized version of A Christmas Carol, however.

[For a Scrooge, that's ironically one of his favorite stories ok]

[It takes every ounce of willpower that Togami has not to answer that with 'I didn't know you could read'.]

Too many, no doubt.

You've read Dickens?

[He wasn't aware that it was translated into Japanese. Why would he care about translations when he was perfectly capable of reading the original English?]

[and here he'd begun to have hope for you after all.]

I suppose it's one of those stories that's hard to not know the plot.

[He's not sure whether he wants to see a Japanese stage interpretation of A Christmas Carol.]

That would only make sense, given that it is set on Christmas Eve.

It was my introduction to Dickens, and one of the first stories that I ever read in English. I suppose you could say it has a special place in my heart.

French was my first language. I learned Japanese and English simultaneously.

I also speak German, and a small amount of Russian and Mandarin. For the sake of making business contacts.

[He's proud of his multilingual achievement, but his tone isn't gloating.]

[Really. You really weren't.]

I've been studying languages since I was three years old.

[He's not sure what to do with the compliment so he's going to shrug off the achievement as though seven languages isn't impressive as hell.]

As the future head to a conglomerate with offices around the world, I had to be able to communicate with overseas contacts.
