FIFTH RIDE ✦ ACCIDENTAL VIDEO / ACTION [DANGAN HOUSE]

[diamondo]

[ 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?]

[...you know, there are a lot of things that can be said about all this...whatnot that's going on when Ishimaru finally manages to get back into the house to figure out why Mondo has decided to host some sort of bizarre hostile takeover of the kitchen; he hadn't had much time to dwell on it due to work, but, well. He's off now and there are a lot of things that can be said -

>what is that apron
>you have your hair down and that is very appreciated as it looks far less dumb now
>oh god you're baking again
>...those cookies actually look decent good job very baking wow
>no really kyoudai what is that apron]

Kyoudai, that music is absolutely obscene!

[...however, Ishimaru has priorities.]

[diamondo]

[Hey, don't insult the apron! It's cute!!

...Also you might have caught him in the middle of the word "motherfuckers" so uh...]

It's not that bad!

[...Mondo...]

Here, catch!

[And with that, he'll toss one of those bags of cookies at you, kyoudai!]

[ardent]

[Mondo...

However, he manages to catch the bag easily - before second-guessing himself in the mild surprise that follows him actually catching the thing and nearly dropping it as a result.

Way to go, slick.

However, he manages to, uh, get his hands on it again...look, no one said he was the picture of catlike grace, here.]

If you think you can bribe me, it's not going to work!

[That may have been halfway joking? Maybe? It's hard to tell.

...It's Ishimaru, so don't put money on it.]

Have you been at this all day?

[diamondo]

Aw, c'mon, you're no fun!

[But that definitely is teasing, and Mondo moves to lean on the counter, grinning. He looks a little too pleased with himself.]

Yeah, I have! I had the day off, so I figured I'd get into the holiday spirit, y'know? 'Sides, everyone loves cookies!

[And he can give these out instead of gifts! Well, he'll probably get gifts for everyone too, but this at least buys him some time to figure out what to get everyone!]

[ardent]

...Between you and aneki, we're going to have a lot of Christmas around here, aren't we.

[Yes, Ishimaru. A lot of Christmas.]

[diamondo]

You can never have too much Christmas!

[...and yet he rolls with it...]

'Sides, it'll be fun to celebrate it with everyone, right?

[ardent]

I guess so!

[ ... :|a ]

I mean, it's not really anything I celebrated very much back home, but it'll be interesting with the rest of you around!

[diamondo]

Yeah, I didn't really get much of a chance to celebrate either. But it'll be great with everyone here! We'll have to have a really fucking huge party or something!

[...look, he just likes any excuse to party, okay.]

[ardent]

...How many parties have we had since we arrived?

[I mean the thing with Kirigiri didn't exactly count, he supposes, but...]

[diamondo]

We've only really had your birthday party, right? C'mon, partying is great, kyoudai!

[ardent]

[......]

If you really expect me to agree with that, then I don't know what to tell you!

[diamondo]

Oh c'mon, you can have fun policing the shit out of everyone else, right?

[ardent]

I do not just police the -

[...wait.]

What do you even plan to get up to at this party of yours?

[diamondo]

[Shrug!]

I dunno, but I figure it'll involve a good amount of booze. Not that you can really police us on that shit since most of us are legal!

[Which makes it less fun. >: ]

[ardent]

...How much booze?

[This is such a bad idea. Such a bad idea.]

[diamondo]

As much as we can get, obviously! It ain't fucking Christmas if no one's drunk off their asses!

[ardent]

Kyoudai...

[diamondo]

What? It'll be fun!

[freshprints]

[So Kirigiri's been back from Ecruteak for all of about twenty-four hours now, and as such she's understandably kind of tired and quiet and largely keeping to herself — not that that's any different from the norm — as she mulls over new developments and generally gets back into her usual mode of functioning around the house.

And as it happens, she's just coming down the stairs and heading for the kitchen when the blaring rap music changes tracks from something she registers as "obnoxious shouting headache noise" to—

...

girl the way you movin' got me in a trance DJ turn me up ladies this yo jam

YES. YES IT IS.]

...

[Not that she's going to say anything about it, but she is kind of bobbing along with the music as she silently enters the kitchen and heads for the fridge in search of something to drink.

GIIIIIIIIRL DROP IT TO THE FLOOOOOOOO' I LOVE THE WAY YOUR BOOTY GOOOOOOO]

[diamondo]

[Well, Mondo will stop singing once Kirigiri comes in, but he's still humming along as he works, eventually glancing up at her and noticing the bobbing.]

I didn't think you'd like this kinda shit, Kirigiri.

[There's a note of teasing in his voice, but it's gentle, like he's really not sure if he should be teasing Kirigiri. He's never sure what to do with her, to be honest.]

[freshprints]

[...gently caress.]

Is that sort of thing exclusively the province of gang leaders?

[MIGHT AS WELL JUST DEFLECT IT, THEN.]

[diamondo]

Well no, 'course not. It's just kinda weird that someone like you would like shit like this, y'know?

[freshprints]

"Someone like me"...what do you mean by that?

[ghostytrainer]

[Despite being best friends with Dave, John isn't really big on rap so he couldn't help but cringe a little upon hearing this. He's more a classical music kind of guy but hey, baking! Baking is something he can relate to! Especially considering it's another guy baking, excellent. Clearly this is someone he needs to talk to.]

[At least there's not really an image to be ruined here? They've only spoken once before, after all and that was over text. He can't even comment on the hair...]

Getting a head start on your Christmas baking? [He...really should get started on his own. Been too busy making sure the house is decorated and nobody died in the process. Which is a very real and valid concern with his social circle.] Nice apron, by the way.

[Well Keiko has a very interested look on her face. Actually she looks somewhat enraptured by the fact that he was baking. And maybe a little bit like she is studying his technique. Please forgive her it's been a whole month since she's so much as cooked food, let alone baked.]

Holiday cookies? Is it really that time already?

[She makes a soft sound sort of a sigh but more like she's contemplative.]

You're pretty good at that. How long have you been baking?

[Ah the curse of being a child of restauranteurs, she's more interested in his skill than anything that is happening in his kitchen.]
