[ Look, City. Look at all these desserts. Cake Pops. Santa Hat Brownies. Snowflake Cupcakes. Sugar Pavlova. Peppermint milkshakes. Pinecone Cheeseballs. Mmm. Diabetes in the making. You can totally tell the chef hates you all and hopes you suffer. ]

[ 'Li' hovers closeby, a little smudge of flour on his cheeks, smiling sweetly like he couldn't be a bigger replica of the Pillsbury Doughboy if he tried. And he is trying. So hard. Not an ounce of cynicism in sight. ]

Just wanted to let everyone know. We have some great desserts at Cafe Satine, if you're in an early Holidays mood. [ He glances away for a moment, creating a pink icing rose in an easy motion. Adds it to a half-decorated cake, before continuing, ] You know, I read somewhere that Christmas originates from an old Roman holiday called Saturnalia. They say it was all about property damage, debauchery and a hideous human sacrifice. Oh. And naked singing from house to house.

[ Pause ]

I have no idea if it's true or not. But it makes you wonder how some things can start out so [ typical to human nature ] wild, and end so [ sugar-coated and distorted ] wholesome.

[ He shrugs it off with a shy laugh. ]

Anyway. Didn't mean to ramble. I hope everyone's doing well this week.

[ A parting nod, and the feed ends. WELL? WHAT'RE YOU WAITING FOR? COME BUY SOMETHING. ]

[ OOC: Hei will be disappearing after tonight for his canon update. He'll return on the 20th or 21st, so be sure to get all the fudd you can from him x3 ]

Just tell me what you think.

We-e-ell. Um. [ How to explain? He's never paid any attention to the religious aspects. Why bother? He's by no means a storyteller, either. ] See, thousands of years ago, a special kid was born. And everyone was so excited about it they traveled for miles with presents. Just to get together and see him. There was feasting and singing Hosannas. Possibly dessert. [ He contemplates this, then nods. Big firm up-&-down. ] Yes. There was definitely dessert.

Anyway. Someone seems to have thought it was a good idea. Because now that's what people do. In the West, but some in the East too. Gather 'round once a year to eat dessert and greedily hoard presents and sing Hosanna.

[ Feeling enlightened yet? ]

[Sounds so weird, the greedily hoarding presents part. But sharing desserts can't be so bad so!]

Ah, then I need that cake you're making even more... and I should get something for Kaito too.

[ With an easygoing air, he shows her a close-up of the completed portion of cake. ] Is there anything in particular you have in mind? We have cheese danishes and spicy cheese boyregs straight from the oven, too.

[Oh goodness that cake is another one of the foods of the gods, drool.]

No, just that one you're working on!

All right. [ He beams, ] I'll have it ready for you to pick up as soon as it's done. It shouldn't take more than a half-hour or so.

Half an hour? Okay! I think I can be there to get it then.

Great. I'll see you then.

[ Your *~Special Cake~* will be ready and waiting. ]
