[OPEN] Fuwafuwa! Hummy's Cupcake Delivery Service, nya!

[nyakama]

♥ Who: Hummy + potential bonus Kaito + YOU!
♥ Where: All around town and at your houses!
♥ When: This weekend (Dianir 12-13) but if you'd prefer to get some event shenanigans involved, we can say we missed you and schedule your delivery for next week!
♥ What: Hummy and Kaito are delivering cupcakes to all of her friends (Read: everyone she has ever met) but she's got plenty to share with everyone!!
♥ Rating: G-PG, I wager.


♪ 01 - A SPECIAL DELIVERY (for existing CR)
About a week ago now, should Hummy have never visited your residence, you will have received a message over the network from a certain cat asking for your address. If you question why she needs it, she’ll tell you "it's a secret, nya!" If that fails to convince you and you press further, she’ll divulge that she has a gift for you. Hopefully you give in at that point and give it to her, lol.

Anyway, cut to this weekend. Kaito’s side car is loaded up with a cat and whole bunch of cupcakes and the intrepid duo are setting off around town. They drive around from house to house, and eventually...they've reached your name on the list!

Hummy hops out carrying a small box and makes her way to your front door, which she excitedly raps on with her little paw. Knock knock knock!

"Hellooo~ Are you home, nya? It's me, Hummy!"



♪ 02 - AN EXTRA SPECIAL DELIVERY? (closed to Kaito, Shinji, and Kyoko)
Hummy smiles up at Kaito as she hops back up into the side car. "The last delivery was a big success, nya!" She fishes around among the boxes filling the area for a tablet and scrolls through it carefully.

"Our next delivery is for Kyoko, nya! Do you need her address?" Kaito was surprisingly good at knowing his way around town. It was admirable, to be honest. Little did she know he knew this particular address especially well...



♪ 03 - AN UNEXPECTED DELIVERY (for new CR)
You were just going about your business when a bike zoomed by. It smells sort of...sweet? You might be about to write it off when the bike comes to a stop and...a cat pops out of the side car??? That's certainly not something you see every day.

While you're busy staring, duo seems to have noticed you. The cat waves and calls out: "Hellooo~!"

Wait, it "calls out"? Like, it talks??? Seriously, what the heck is going on...


[OOC Note: Prose or brackets both 100% fine - do whatever ya feel like, nya! I've got a comment on the plotting post here if you'd like to hash out a different sort of starter, too! COME AT ME BRO.]

It was kind of cute and she was doing a good job. A good job!!

She didn't have to worry about asking him, because oho what was this. He'd already gotten off the bike to follow her for this one! Whoa. Psychic? (No.)

"Sure did."

[nyakama]

Oh! Well how about that! Hummy seems pleasantly surprised by this turn of events.

"Hehe, she's going to be so surprised, nya!" She giggles to herself as she turns back around, waddling up to the door with the cupcake box held out in front of her. She sits it down only briefly to give the door a little knock.

"Hello~ Kyoko, are you home?"

[daikonrose]

Oh? A knock? Was someone supposed to be visiting today? Kyoko couldn't recall any such plans, and she was already halfway down the hall before she placed the owner of that cute little voice.

Flinging open the door, she stared down at her surprise guest with shimmering eyes, adoration all ready to go.

"Hummy-chaaAAAAN~!" She might not know what all this was, but she was alreacy ascending. If somehow their third housemate hadn't noticed all this commotion yet, he would surely be alerted soon. "Shinjiiiiiii! Come here! Come look!! Come right now!!!"

[hedgehogsdilemma]

Whoa whoa, what's with all of the commotion? Shinji had heard Kyoko on her way to get the door, curious enough about who could possibly be there to linger in the next room over, just close enough to catch what might be easy to overhear. Just enough to figure out what all is up. A tiny bit of eavesdropping.

But, no, that's not what's in store for him today. Instead he gets an earful of Very Insistent hollers directed right at him! Gosh! Okay! He will peer on out into the entryway to see what all of this commotion is about.

"What's going on...?"

[nyakama]

Oh? Oh oh??? Now that was a familiar name and face!

"Shinji! You're visiting too? What a coincidence, nya!" Gosh! Her friends being friends with one another! How wonderful!! It brings a great big (oblivious) smile to Hummy’s face. She sits down the box and waves him over.

[whenyouneedme]

Not even a single greeting for him, huh. It's fine, it's fine. Get a load of this cat!!

Kai huffed in amusement, crouching down behind Hummy to reach out and gently pat her on the head. "Hey, you want to come in for a drink with these ones? You've been hard at work."

He glanced up at Kyoko and Shinji there in the distance, lifting his hand as if to say 'yo.'

[daikonrose]

Shinji look! At this cat!! Kyoko stepped aside to give him the best possible viewing experience.

Oh wait, was there also a guy here? There was a guy here. Well, he lived here, so this wasn't exactly an exciting development, but sure, hi Kai. Cool how you ran into this cat on your way home? That was an excellent suggestion you were proposing, though!

"Hummy-chan, do you like cream?? Come inside and rest for as long as you want!"

[nyakama]

Hummy looks up(side down) at Kai and smiles at the soft pat of a hand. Her eyes don’t stay there for long, though, shifting to Kyoko when she speaks up. "Mm! Cream is delicious, nya! That sounds really nice!" There’s not a lot she won’t eat or drink, to be honest. You could give her just about anything and she’d be content.

"Ah, just let me go get another box first. Kyoko, this one is for you, nya!" She gestures to the box beside her and then, not waiting for a response, turns and makes a running leap back into the sidecar. Moments later she pops out with another box which she totes back to the doorway. "This one is for Shinji! Since you’re here, I thought I might as well give it to you now!"

[hedgehogsdilemma]

Get a load of this cat! Shinji! Has met this cat before! But he will still scoot his way over to the door to get a look at what sorts of boxes are being exchanged here, and - oh!

"Hello, Hummy," best to greet the face of the delivery herself before shooting Kaito a wave as well. He sees you there, hard at work. What an excellent pair of delivery... people? Deliverers. Good job.

Hold up.

"One for me, too..?"

He did not order anything? What??

[whenyouneedme]

"One for both of you," Kai confirmed with a wide grin.

He Hummy another little pat once she was back. Good double delivery work there! Then hoisted himself back to his feet to survey these delivery efforts.

"She's on a mission, y'see."

[daikonrose]

A... box? A box. It wasn't that Kyoko hadn't noticed that Hummy had a box with her, but she hadn't registered it as anything particularly important. Probably just part of whatever Important Hummy Business was going on.

But no, apparently this box was for her?? As in, her, Kyoko Mogami? What???

Kneeling to pick it up, Kyoko looked from Kaito, and then at Shinji, and then down back at the cat.

"A mission?"

[nyakama]

"Nyapu!" Hummy nods in affirmation, holding the second box up and waggling it as if to instruct Shinji to take it.

"I’ve been here almost a year now, nya, and I’ve made so many wonderful new friends. They’ve told me about their lives and their worlds... and I want to share part of my world with them in return! I want to share Lucky Spoon with them, nya!"

...What the heck’s a Lucky Spoon?

[hedgehogsdilemma]

Let Shinji relieve you of that boxy burden, Hummy. He carefully lifts it up out of her paws, treating the mysterious parcel with a great deal of care. It. sure doesn't feel like this box is full of spoons, so maybe that's just a name rather than an actual descriptor.

"Has it really been that long already...?" It has been close to two years for himself and Kai, but gosh does time fly, huh? But, that still leaves what's in the boxes a mystery. "Is it all right if we open them?"

These aren't meant to be a surprise for later or anything, are they?

[nyakama]

"Yes! Please go ahead!" Hummy beams.

If they open their boxes they’ll find two immaculately decorated cupcakes - one chocolate and one vanilla - with just the right ratio of colorful frosting to soft, fluffy cake.

"The repleecators at home recently started making something incredible!" she explains with bright and eager eyes. "They taste just like the ones Kanade and her family make!! As soon as I tried them, I knew I had to share with everyone, nya!"

[whenyouneedme]

"Ohhh," Kai said softly. He knew they were doing cupcake deliveries, but he hadn't known the whole backstory to them. He still didn't, technically, but he could put the proper hops and leaps together well enough. "I didn't know they were hometown delicacies."

How many pats was this cat gonna get?? We're at three now, folks.

[daikonrose]

With that permission granted, Kyoko had dutifully opened up her spoon box, eyes round. As she took in the contents and Hummy laid out that charming story, those round eyes started shimmering. What? What?!! This was almost certainly the cutest thing that had ever happened to her in her life!

"H-Hummy-chan...! You really are a being of true goodness and light!"

[hedgehogsdilemma]

Shinji opens up his own box at the same time and... Oh. Oh wow.

Maybe he wouldn't go as hard on the praises as Kyoko has, but truly, this is... a really, really sweet thing to be doing. How can a cat be so good? How in the world did he end up with a box, too?

"These look amazing, Hummy." Let's - hang on, yeah, let's step aside. Make room for catte! "Come on in," they can get her that promised cream to drink!!

[nyakama]

Hummy wiggles bashfully at the praise and, moreover, at the excitement and appreciation in the other's eyes and voices. This was the sort of thing that made it all worthwhile.

"I'm so happy you like them!" she proclaims as she follows Shinji's prompt and walks inside, examining the decor. "It might not seem possible, but they actually taste even better than they look, nya!"
