What kinda color choices did you make? Did you just hope for the best? [Kate's smile couldn't be wider as she pictures such a homely scene. Better times. Matt enjoying the holidays with his found family.] If we ever do this, don't hold any grudges if the decorations end up on your face.

And I totally don't live on pizza alone! I'm hiring Kirsten and sueing you over difamation.

I just hoped for the best. You've found my secret. I can't tell frosting colors apart. I can feel it hitting my face, though. Fuck it, let's do it sometime. Bunnies or otherwise.

Mhm. Breadsticks from the pizzeria don't count for enough diversity either, Kate.

[Kate's not a giggly kinda girl, but sure Matt will notice something there. The plan is too good, too fun. Exactly what they need right now.]

I think we need to figure if you can feel the color of frosting once it hits your face. Hell, if I give you a mustache I'll allow you to give me one too.

It counts if they come in different shapes!

[It is nice to hear the lightness in her voice. To remember it can exist.]

You just want to see me with a pastel mustache. I'm onto you.

It's still pure carbs, Kate. I'm making you vegetables.

I'm being good and giving you an opening to give me a facial too! [... that sounds so bad.] Frosting facial hair!

[It's probably wrong. Aside from that slip that totally belongs to how her mind always goes to the gutter....

Will his girlfriend feel that its wrong for him to go to see some friend to bake and play with frosting on each other's faces?]

You can't force me to eat veggies. [Spoken like a true adult.]

Pretty sure that's gonna stick to my beard. The frosting. Be a pain in the ass to clean off.

Veggies taste great. If you don't think so then you haven't had them cooked well.

Are you chickening out, Matt? I'll let you put some on my hair if you don't think I'm being fair.

Guess you'll have to prove it then.

[Of course she's had veggies. But it's so much fun arguing with him.]

What did poor chickens ever do to earn a fearful reputation?

Vegetable curry it is.

And what about cats? I mean, unless you put a cucumber near them, it's not like they're always scared, are they?

Of course you know how to make curry.

What problem do cats have with cucumbers?

I know how to make several curries. Who doesn't want to know how to make good curry?

You haven't-- ? Of course you haven't. You've not seen the videos. [Kate sighs. How come Matt is always so behind on things that go viral?] People say that cucumbers maybe remind cats of snakes.

It's not a matter of not wanting, it's more a matter of who does.

[OOC: I continued our other scene here if wanted!]

I have not seen any videos. Are these people sure it's not just that they're sticking a random object close to a cat's face? Nobody would like that.

It's not like it's hard to find recipes these days to try. You're always complaining I'm not online enough, but there are tons of recipes and videos there to learn from with cooking.

[ooc: Of course I do! Thanks for moving us, hun! <3]

Of course not, Matt! They're not sticking it close to the cat's face, they put the cucumbers behind them!

So you went for the cultural appropiation ones?

[She's SO messing with him.]

I wouldn't want people sneaking things behind me, either. Justice for the cats, mere pawns in people's quest for online entertainment. Also a potential waste of a perfectly good cucumber.

Don't try and sully my pure culinary education, Kate. Or I can't cook for you.

Specially not a cucumber sneaking behind you, huh? There goes my theory about Matt being bisexual.

You can always cook a perfectly american burger.

You seem to want to specify a cucumber, which doesn't surprise me.

The hamburger has inspiration from dishes from other countries, so not even those, I'm afraid. If you're going to misuse the concept of cultural appropriation, nothing might be safe to eat.

Okay, it could be a genderfluid cucumber. Still phallic enough to scare super straight men in its cucumber presence. [A beat.] And straight cats.

Okay, what about hot dogs? There's no way hot dogs are appropiated.

The prospect of being bi doesn't scare me. I still say cats just don't want to be bothered in general. They want to decide when to bother you, not the other way around.

I'm pretty sure they were adapted from the sausages in Germany, weren't they? Not appropriated, since none of this is appropriation, but adapted.

Did you ever say that in college? [Hey, a girl can be curious abouy bicuriosity!] Yeah, that sounds like a pretty good description of cats. At least the one my friend owns.

Totally appropiation and now I realize I can't even eat a hot dog again without using a german accent. [And with that, she gives a dramatic groan!]

What happens at Columbia stays at Columbia, Kate. No, in all seriousness, I'd be fine if I ever was attracted to a guy. I think the church has it wrong in that regard when people say it's a sin. And that's pretty much like the cats I've known. Not that I've had one personally.

I will go back to text to voice messaging you if you do.

I've never doubted that from you, Matt. I'm just being nosey about your college years, but of course you take things to a more meaningful conversation. [What? He was probably incredibly cute in college, even if age does favor a lot of guys. Now, Matt with another hot dude? Yes, she's gonna totally objectify that in her head.] Are you more of a duck person?

Betray me like that and I'm asking Peter to add accents to your phone.

It's just something I've thought a lot about, and you know my mind loves to overthink. Reconciling faith while also disagreeing with parts of how it's interpreted. On a lighter subject, I'll just say I had a lot of fun in college. I think I'm just an animal person in general. I always tried to sneak in pets but had to let them loose. I probably wanted a dog the most as a kid, but I think most kids want dogs.

I regret introducing you two.

I know and it makes sense. To be honest, it's one of the things that kinda made me not feel super comfy around the religion, but I get I was not being completely fair. [The institution does the things in a way, but the faith and the church's people are a different thing. Matt is living proof of that.] Yeah, not shocked to think you have stories. [She smiles.] I was desperate for a dog too. And a monkey.

You so don't regret it.

A monkey, huh? What trouble were you going to get up to with a monkey?

I did not think ahead to the two of you teaming up against me.

I don't know, but when I was seven a monkey sounded like the best friend in the world a girl could have.

Yeah, well, it's not our fault if you miscalculated things, Matthew.
