[topscores]

[Oh lord.]

Ok well, I'm on my way.

[Because he's really curious about the new and unique thing that Oz has up his sleeve..]

[harepiece]

[Maybe what should have been said back there is "what has Nice done to deserve a friend like Oz"...]

I'll be waiting!

[AND HE WILL BE, right at the door. Clearly someone is excited.]

[topscores]

[It's okay, weird attracts weird.

But he ends the conversation after that because he's moving to leave, and it's not too long before he arrives at Oz's place.

Well, here we go...and he's knocking on the door.]

[harepiece]

[THROWING IT OPEN. HE'S SO EXCITED.]

You came quickly!

[The interior of the apartment... actually smells pretty good?! Whatever it is, it appears to be something sweet judging by scent alone.]

[topscores]

[It does smell good...hm...]

I'm not that far away.

[And he steps in, taking off his shoes at the door and smelling the air. Maybe this wouldn't be so bad???]

So, what'd you make?

[harepiece]

I made-- [Wait a second, he needs to get into a better position to present this grandiose dish...

Turning abruptly and running over to the kitchen, where he excitedly slaps his hands down on the counter!!]

I made... dissener!!

[why

That's also definitely pronounced like it's just a mashup between the words dessert and dinner.]

[topscores]

Dissener?

[That. Sounds so weird...and why is he acting so dramatic

why?]

What's dissener?

[He gets that it sounds like a mashup but that doesn't mean he understands it.]

[harepiece]

[HE'S ALWAYS DRAMATIC. He's just extra dramatic now to fit the... situation. Or something?!]

It's this!

[AND VOILA!! From the cooling rack, he'll pull out a tray with... SOMETHING WEIRD ON IT. It looks similar to chocolate lasagna, whatever it is, and smells faintly of s'mores...]

[topscores]

Whoa!

[He looks at the chocolate lasagna in awe, looking pretty surprised that it even looks edible.]

What's in it?

[harepiece]

[The first hurdle is cleared... He sets the tray back down and then sets his hands at his hips, looking quite pleased!]

Lots of things! I couldn't really figure out how to make an entirely new ingredient- [for the good of everyone here, honestly] -but I did make some new types of old ingredients. Try a piece first and then I'll tell you more about it!

[THAT'S ASKING FOR TROUBLE but he seems confident...]

[topscores]

I guess I'll let you pass this time.

[Nice.

Okay, but he walks over to the tray, and then looks at it --]

A knife or something would probably be a good idea.

[So he can cut a piece and stuff.]

[harepiece]

Oh - right!

[OFF TO GET A KNIFE HE GOES and fortunately the dishes get done even in this apartment full of frilly nobles, so there's a clean one waiting to be used.]

How big do you want your first piece to be?

[topscores]

[He considers it for a minute, and he scratches at one of the bandages on his face.]

Pretty big. I want a lot.

[Of course.]

[harepiece]

[Diving headfirst into danger, huh...]

All right! This big? [He'll measure out a piece but then start cutting before he gets an answer anyway?! It's definitely sizable... Once he's done, he'll plate it and hold it out with a fork.]

Here you go!

[IS HE READY.]

[topscores]

[HE'S READY HE GUESSES. Hope he won't die!!!

He examines it when he takes the plate and fork again, but then puts some on the fork and pops it into his mouth.

Processing...]

Hey, not bad. I have a friend who'd probably like this, but he's not here.

[Too bad.]

[harepiece]

[A "NOT BAD" IS PRETTY DANG GOOD and Oz looks pleased with the turnout!!]

Oh, really? If he ever shows up, I can make it again! Oh— or I could teach you how to make it, if you want! It's not that hard.

[Obviously, because it had to be at the level Oz could handle...]

[topscores]

[He'll think about that for...oh, about .2 seconds.]

I'll get you to make it again.

[He can't even make onigiri ok]

Nobody can make something like the way the first person did, anyway.

[Good save??]

[harepiece]

[SMOOTH AS HELL NICE because Oz sure does believe that and look touched as any friendship barnacle would.]

If that's the case, I'll do my best for you! But I can tell you what's in it anyway, if you're still curious.

[topscores]

[GOOD!! He dodged a real bullet, there.]

Yeah, tell me what's in it.

[He can tell there's a chocolatey...things in there but.]

[harepiece]

[WELL AND TRULY.]

All right! So the crust part is chocolate graham crackers, the filling in between the layers is chocolate custard- [that he had help with making because boy he'd have hecked that one up otherwise] -and the top layer is marshmallow fluff! My friend taught me how to make caramel too, so that's in the part with brownie pieces.

[topscores]

[He nods a little bit as Oz starts listing it all off. Huh...]

That's pretty cool. It's definitely new...maybe not new ingredients, but I've never seen anything like this before.

[So at least there's that.]

[harepiece]

I'll keep working until I can figure out some new ingredients too, but I didn't want to keep you waiting anymore!

[He's always at the top of his game when it comes to being timely!! ...Most of the time!]

I think this is a pretty good start, anyway.

[topscores]

It is a pretty good start.

[Eating a little bit more.]

Not that I could eat this for days or anything, but sweets aren't as much my thing as hamburgers are.

[harepiece]

You like hamburgers?

[He seems surprised for some reason?! Maybe Nice just doesn't look like a hamburger kinda guy...]

[topscores]

Yeah, why? Is that surprising or something?

[Hamburgers are his and Hajime's Thing, ok]
