[After school today, Asuka is engaging in her latest brilliant plan. Since she and Minato are obviously going out for Valentine's Day, whether she remembered to tell him or not, she should make him chocolates. That's what Japanese girls do, right? Of course, with no idea how to make chocolate or capacity to admit that, she's taking the age-old shortcut of melting chocolate bars and pouring the result into molds.]

[Asuka can be seen melting a small pile of generic Hershey's-style chocolate bars in a pot with an intense look on her face, and attempting to pour the result over the last half-dozen of the chocolates she received from V/V sitting in some kind of muffin pan. This would be going excellently if Asuka didn't burn herself and drop molten chocolate everywhere every couple of minutes.]

Gottverdammt Drecksau! I hate cooking! This is why men should do it...

[She's using a public kitchen and being extremely loud, so even without the phone recording her she's botherable.]

Some of us don't have an infinite amount of money to just buy whatever we want. Some of us like to create with our own hands, too.

[king_of_heroes]

What a waste.

You could at least not make a mess out of yourself. Unless you plan on being one of the ingredients. Now that's an idea.

[soulsborderline]

Are you being a pervert, or are you some kind of cannibal now?

[king_of_heroes]

If you took it as something perverted, does that not show what's truly on your own mind?

[soulsborderline]

No, I'm serious, I really can't tell with you.

[king_of_heroes]

[ Siiigh. Ruin all his fun. ]

It was a joke.

[soulsborderline]

You were being a pervert!

[king_of_heroes]

That would imply that I actually found you attractive in any way. That's far from the truth.

Although I'm sure whatever little pathetic boy you're slaving over the stove for would enjoy the idea of helping you clean up.

[soulsborderline]

Doubtlessly. You men are all the same. Doesn't mean that's my intention or that he's going to get ro.

[king_of_heroes]

I wonder how quickly you'll change your tune if he actually expressed interest.

[soulsborderline]

I know back in your cave-man times you'd just beat a girl over the head and drag her home, but modern society has actual, you know, society and customs.

[king_of_heroes]

For Lugalbanda's sake, woman. I'm not that old. Besides, when you're me, you don't need to do any of this "wooing" bullshit. They willingly threw themselves at my feet.

[soulsborderline]

Just because you had money.

I say that like you know the difference between having money or power and actually being a worthwhile human being.

[king_of_heroes]

I'm sorry, what did you just say?

Let me think here for a moment. Who killed the Bull of Heaven that was threatening to annihilate his people? Who built the stone walls that surround Uruk to protect it from both the harsh winds of Pazuzu and any fools who dared to attack? Who built and repaired the many temples housed within his city? Who trained the worthless men of his city to become worthwhile and actually do something with their short lives? And who inspired mongrels for countless generations with his tale of adventure, brothership, and warned of the pointless pursuit of eternal life?

That's what I thought.

[soulsborderline]

Well, when you put it that way, maybe certain unsophisticated women could get over your terrible personality.

[king_of_heroes]

My personality is flawless.
