...Jiaoqiu.

[jiaohua]

[haha. she thought so.]

You know him pretty well. What do you think he would like?

[foreverphantom]

...no, I don't.

I just know he likes spicy food.

[jiaohua]

That's easy enough. There is interesting stationery here - perhaps you could put together a book of recipes for him.

[foreverphantom]

I think all food is terrible, I can't come up with recipes.

[jiaohua]

So we look through books here for the spiciest recipes we can find. They don't have to suit your tastes; they just have to suit his.

[foreverphantom]

[ she really said we about this.... 🥺 waner i love you bestie ]

...I guess.

Maybe slip a bomb recipe in there too, while we're at it.

[jiaohua]

[she's not even surprised by this.]

Keeping him on his toes, hm?

[foreverphantom]

What's spicier than a mouthful of dynamite?

[jiaohua]

[pfffft. she doesn't bother to hide her laugh behind her hand this time.]

I suppose you do have a point.

[foreverphantom]

[ he's smirking at that for a moment but then he remembers the actual task at hand ]

...so I have to actually make this? Like, by hand?

[jiaohua]

It shouldn't be too hard. Find stationery you think he might like, write out the recipes we find by hand, and then I suppose you could poke holes into the papers and bind it together with thread, no?

[she doesn't know anything about bookbinding. is there a three-hole punch around here somewhere. probably.]

[foreverphantom]

[ he understands the mechanics of it, it's just...

I've never made anything before. ]

[jiaohua]

And now you're about to. There's a first time for everything.

[she gives him a gentle nudge to get him moving.]

Come on. Pick some stationery out.

[foreverphantom]

[ grumbles and grabs just. a handful of the first stationery he sees. ]

[jiaohua]

...it said you had to put thought into it. Grab three and look at them and pick whiever one you think Jiaoqiu will like most.

[foreverphantom]

How should I know what kind of paper he'd like!!

[jiaohua]

If you find something with similar colors or patterns to the sorts of things he wears, perhaps?

[foreverphantom]

[ me, who only ever sees jiaoqiu headshots from his icons: i have no fucking idea what he wears

actually considers the options this time, before plucking out a paper that looks kinda like this, albeit more pink-hued, and some of the flecks are golden ]

This one, I guess.

[jiaohua]

That should do nicely. Come on, let's go look for some books.

[foreverphantom]

[ allows himself to be dragged around the shop ]

[jiaohua]

[she WILL get him to make this thing for jiaoqiu



anyway once they've got their supplies i guess they shift gears to the mystery library even if it doesn't have the anarchist's cookbook]

[foreverphantom]

[ guess who forgot that libraries have a lot of books in them! ]

...is there a cookbook that specializes in spicy recipes. Or are we just going to have to scour these one by one.

[jiaohua]

There may be. I have looked through them and they seem to have a lot of variety...

[foreverphantom]

We're going to be here forever.
