UN: dreamycute

[eyesontherice]

[The video feed pops up and young girl can be seen sitting at a desk that has been extensively decorated with bows and stars. A pink rice cooker is placed on the desk as well.]

It's dreamy nice to meet you! I'm Yui Yumekawa and I just arrived here from Japan.

I'm making dreamy cute yumeprika rice balls right now, so come over to Lumière room 303 if you want some!

Wait, do these dorms also have rules against eating in your room?
[Her thoughts seem to drift off and she starts mumbling to herself.]
Oh no, we might end up having a forbidden rice friendship... But what if we're found out one day because I leave a rice grain trail and we'll be separated forever... Ahh, I'll never forget about all the rice balls we shared!!

The rice is cooked. [A robotic voice comes from the blue rice cooker and Yui comes back to reality.]

Here we go! See you dreamy soon~

[The feed ends. If you enter Lumière's third floor you'll be greeted by the smell of rice and anyone who comes into Yui's room will be greeted by a mountain of rice balls.]

Okay, I'll be down there in a bit. [And off the webcam goes.

A minute or two later, she's knocking on the door to room 303.]

[eyesontherice]

[Yui excitedly opens the door, holding a huge rice ball with a little strawberry on top.]

Nice to meet you in person, Becky!! Come in!

[lifeforced]

Hey. [She steps in as soon as she's told, carrying those containers on one hand—she's used the other one to knock, after all. Once she figures out which side of the room Yui is using, both of the containers are set down on that side's desk and then the empty one taken off and set aside so the one with the cookies in it can be opened up.

Since the frosted sugar cookies are what got a response, those are what she brought, and she brought a lot; as many as she could really fit in there, which means that a number of the cookies have frosting in places where frosting doesn't normally go.

It looks like she'd made them herself, too.]

I would have dragged my roommate down here with me, but she's been a little busy lately.

[eyesontherice]

[She closes the door and follows Becky to the desk marveling at the cookies. She thinks the other girl is younger than her after all.]
Wooow, did you make all these yourself, or did your roommate help?

Ah, I dreamy wish I had a roommate, too...
We could stay up and talk all night and have snacks together and become dreamy bestest friends...

[lifeforced]

Oh, yeah, I made these myself. [Becky does get help from Lia on various occasions, though, sometimes with actually making things since that way they're done a little quicker, but also by having Lia get to things that Becky just can't reach on her own.] Go ahead and try some.

[eyesontherice]

Wow, that's amazing!! [Impressed by the to her very young baking genius she goes ahead and takes one of the cookies from the container and tries it.]

These are dreamy delicious! [Not as good as rice but still good.]
Where did you learn how to bake like this?

[lifeforced]

Oh, my mom got me started on this stuff... I think it was around six or seven years ago? [Several of the things she's done are from recipes she's found online, albeit with some changes here and there.]

[eyesontherice]

Ah, I also remember dreamy cooking with my mom when I was younger... [but wait, not when she was that young.] Aren't you younger than me? Were you a baby baking genius?! [That seems to be the most likely explanation... to Yui at least.]

[lifeforced]

[There's the question Becky's been expecting, or a variant of said question, at least. There's a short delay before she answers it, as she considers how Yui might possibly react.]

Probably not, actually. I mean, I turned eighteen a few months ago.
