[ The video will be spanning over a table set inside Shigeru's house. There's lots of different types of food and beverages lining said table as Shigeru finally shows up in the feed. He'll give a little wave as his half spider half snake wraps itself around his shoulders to get a peak at what its owner is doing. ]

I was wondering if...anyone would like some cooking lessons? I'm offering them free of charge! And, um, I guess if anyone wants to help me learn how to cook different foods from their worlds that would be decent enough payment! If it's more than one person maybe we could do a class, or something like that. Unless people rather have one on one lessons then that's fine too!

[ Shigeru please you are too pure. But his happy expression turns a bit somber as he asks his next question. ]

Also does anyone know anything about curses? Or perhaps being possessed?

[ He looks a little unsure as he fiddles with his gloves and then the LED bracelet on his wrist as he pauses. There's red specks of blood on his gloves even now, but it's not as bad as they used to be. Still he'll smile again as he huffs a little, shaking his head. ]

I guess I have a few questions is all. But that's bit somber, isn't it? What's your favorite dessert from your world or that you tried here? [ Trying for some levity despite the last thing he asked. He's so not good at this sort of thing forgive him!! ]

I could always teach you, if you wanted! Especially if you enjoyed it.

[ Shigeru smiles brightly back at him. ]

It's nice to meet you! Sorry if our first encounter was a bit...strange. [ But that's what dreams usually are, aren't they? ]

Um. Were you looking to learn how to cook?

Well any experience is always a good start! It helps if you have the basics down too. Was there anything in particular you wanted to learn?

[ Shigeru gives a little hum of approval as he moves closer and pushes himself up against Genji. ]

But eating alone with you is always nice and romantic. [ He should've set up candles or something for when Genji came home and they could've made a night out of it. He'll run a gloved hand through Genji's hair as he smiles shyly. ]

I don't know if I want to share right now. [ Shigeru please?! ]

I don't know about doing it myself, but I'd be interested in hearing more about it from you.

[He waves his hand nonchalantly.]

It's fine. I've seen far more stranger things.

That actually doesn't sound too bad. I'm most interested in Asian recipes since I was young when I left Korea, so I don't remember how to make most of the food from there.

[He could make simple Korean dishes, but that was it, along with coffee, eggs, bacon, soup, wild game, and the like. Plus a few Cajun dishes thanks to Goody.]

[ ...oh no. Genji's always blown away by how sweet he is, even after all this time. So he grins a little bashfully, leaning into his hand. ]

How can I refuse? [ He brings him closer, brushing their noses together. ] I don't want to share either.

Of course! I really enjoy cooking it helps...relieve stress and I enjoy making people happy with my food. [ He smiles warmly. ] It can be a bit intimidating, but, once you get a handle on the basics then it's really not too hard.

[ Though he does look at her curiously. ]

Tethers? Do you mean like...teleporting? [ Oh my gosh that's exciting?! ] Can anyone use them, or just me?

It has...similar concepts in terms of the gods and goddesses people believed in. But anything you know would be great! I just really want to learn more about people and places they lived in prior to here.

[ It's always nice to talk about home too, isn't it? ]

That's definitely different but making people do things against their will...that I know about. I don't even remember what happens sometimes when he-he takes control of me. [ He'll look away briefly before speaking again. ]

I'm sorry that...happened to you. [ He looks a bit awkward, even if the other doesn't seem to bothered by it, it can't possibly be a happy memory. ]

I would love to hear them then! I've never heard of suncats before! [ They sound cute, but Shigeru likes weird things if the half spider, half snake, wasn't indicative enough. ]

I see. I'm sorry to hear that. [ He can't imagine how isolating it must be to not find anything from his home. ]

There's...not a lot of things from my home either. But I've found that learning new things from other places makes it a little bit better. And talking about your world is...always helps too.

He-he cast a curse on you?! [ Shigeru sounds so alarmed... ]

It must do something good, right? [ Right?! ]

Oh I have been cursed since...since birth really. It's something that's known in our world. But there's no real way to...get rid of it.

Huh, wow. That is a small world. Heck, if you're interested, I'll share everything I know about Ireland. And you can share about yours.

[Talking about home is easy. It helps this place seem a little familiar.

But wait a second there...]

When who takes control of you? Is it someone here?

Why not that dish you were showing at the activity fair?

[She had liked it, after all. Might as well start there.]

Yeah, I've been practicing.

But I think some guidance would be helpful too. Cook books only explain so much.

You can't. That's why I said it. [ He'll replied cheekily as he kisses Genji quickly on the lips. Shigeru smiles and those words before he laughs when Genji brushes their noses together. ]

Good. So we can try out some of the food I made privately. [ Though Shigeru will move away to get a better look at him. ]

How are you feeling, you're probably tired after working today. I can get started on warming something up. You should go rest.

[ He snickers and kisses back happily.

He's clad in just a tank top and swim shorts, his hair freshly cut. Very handsome. He puts his hands on his hips. ]

I like the sound of that. [ He looks down at himself, then back up. ] I'm a little tired, but not exhausted. [ He grins cheekily. ] Seeing you always perks me up as it is.

[They scratch the back of their head.]

Even the basics seem beyond me at this point... But I think sitting with a teacher of some kind would be really helpful.

[At the question about their Tethers, they nod.]

Yes, like teleporting. Anyone can use them, so it's best not to leave one open that leads into your bedroom or anything like that, but it can make transportation much faster.

Well you basically create a character based on these things called classes. There's also races you can choose from too, and depending on the race you're given certain perks that make you more attune to become certain classes. But you really don't have to use whatever class you're intended for, otherwise it wouldn't be customizable. But you create your character, their story, and how they fit into the world you're playing in! There's usually someone who creates the world and the places you explore too. It's really fun when you play with a lot of people!

[ But at the mentioning of Korean food Shigeru brightens even more. ] I've cooked a lot of Korean dishes before! Hana Song...I-I was good friends with her so I used to bring her food. But I've gotten really good with Asian recipes. My...boyfriend, Genji, he's from Japan so I-I read and learned how to cook most of the dishes from there.

[He's trying not to get lost, but it's proving difficult. Still, Billy looks curious all the same.]

So it's a game and a story at the same time? What sort of races are there?

[Billy's eyes widen a little upon hearing Hana's name, and even more when he hears Genji's.]

Hana? I was friends with her as well, even though it was only a short time before she left. She was one of the first people I met when I arrived months ago. Ironically, we also met through a dream. She told me about you and Genji when we were getting fitted into our hanbok for Seollal. It's a pleasure to finally meet you.

[He flashes a small smile at Shigeru.]

[ Shigeru sighs into the kiss pressing up against Genji as he runs his hands through his hair again. His cheeks are pink but he's so happy that he doesn't even worry about being embarrassed anymore around Genji. ]

I'm glad that it does. I wouldn't want to make you tired, we still have the whole rest of the afternoon and evening after all.

[ Shigeru please?! ] Maybe we should...take some food and go to the park, like a picnic? Unless you want to stay inside, which is fine too!

It's sounds strictly like a curse to me. Curses can turn you into other creatures. Possession involves a sentient, second being in control of your body.

[ Hm... that's a good idea. Because Genji can definitely just see them smooching and touching the day away. Which is nice! But it's so nice outside and they should take advantage of the festivities.

He's still grinning and kisses the top of his head. ]

That sounds wonderful. Let me go get changed real quick.

[ Shigeru will perk up with that request. ]

Oh! I can definitely do that! The recipe itself isn't too hard, so it'll be a good thing to start with!

He can...take over me sometimes too. At least that's what I think happens, when I lose control, I black out and can't remember much. I-I think he does possess me when that happens though.

Yes that's right! It's a mixture of both, really. There's all sorts of races, depending on how you want the game played. You can even make your own race if the person running the game allows it.

[ He looks back at Billy with some curiosity and some sadness. He's still upset that Hana isn't here anymore and it's been hard on Genji too, but they've been managing. ]

It's really nice to meet you as well. I'm sorry...about her going home, you were close with her, right? [ It's been hard on a lot of people he can imagine. Hana was filled with energy and always pretty upbeat. So her leaving will definitely be felt. ]

[ Shigeru huffs with the kiss to his head as he smiles ever so fondly back at Genji. Ah he really does love just spending time with him. ]

Okay. I'll get some food ready for us too. Do you want me to pack anything specific?

Good.

[She nods to accompany the words, then briefly glances off-camera. When she pops back in, she adds,]

When shall we meet for it?
