I wonder if we have the ingredients here to make it. [Says Sol who 100% doesn't know what kimchi is.] Think that's the kind of stuff you'd serve in your cafe?
It'd be one of the things available on request, though of course I'll have more typical items like bread, pastries, desserts...
[So food that will not chase off her poor customers]
You should come by sometime when it's open! Even if you're not in the mood for okonomiyaki, I'll still make whatever you like.
[Smiling brightly at them, like a sunbeam. It probably doesn't need saying at this point, but even if it's a silent plea: cheer up. Things will be okay.]
[Thank god. They seem to perk up at the word "desserts" because Sol has maybe never actually eaten a vegetable in their life, but that's a good plan.]
I'd like that. [Very much, actually. Things are still Bad but at least it's hard to be too bummed when Nana's making fun plans.] Lune and I can't do too much, but we can try little things. So...if you need anything, just ask. I can try to make it.
[That wording is probably weird, but Sol explains nothing.]
Something like that. [It sounds like they're trying not to laugh.] It's not just food. We can make a lot of stuff. [They hold out a hand and a few moments later a compact mirror appears.] See?
[In case he doesn't understand, Nana is happy to explain, though she keeps looking at the compact with intrigue. It's not even that she wants it, she's still just -- surprised it appeared out of nowhere]
He said he used to have powers too, before he came here.
[Shaking her head in awe]
Back where I'm from, magic is just in our imaginations.
[Thanks for the explanation Nana because Sol had absolutely no idea. But since she's looking at the compact and they aren't a mindreader, they hand it over if she wants it. They have no use for it.]
I guess if that's what he said, then yeah. It's just like that. Magic is pretty common where I'm from...most of us know how to use it in one way or another. But we didn't have things like plays or performances like you've talked about either.
[Well I mean, free stuff. She is absolutely taking it and then is gonna lose it later bc lol smushed banana]
In that case, what types of things did you do for fun?
[She's not silly enough to think that you can only act to enjoy yourself, but it's such an integral part of her life... it's difficult imagining what that must be like, not having the stage to perform on]
[NO. They will make her a new one later, it's FINE. But what a question...]
Ah...I mostly used to hang out with my friends. We didn't have a stage or anything to perform on, but we used to do street performances and stuff sometimes for extra money. And competitions. [A glance up at the sky.] We didn't always have a lot of plans all the time, but the important part was just being together.

Corn, shrimp, calamari, green onions, octopus, pickled red ginger, kimchi...
[Someone take her to jail]

Nana, are you sure that's a pizza? [Puzzling...why is there seafood on this pizza?]
no subject
[Okay she'll finally spill instead of being silly]
The proper term for it is okonomiyaki! I know it sounds strange but it's quite delicious... so long as you don't think of it as typical pizza.

Oh right, Lune-san said you two can... think food into existence? Is that right?
[That is still so wild to her. AND CHEATING. Absolutely cheating.]

That is amazing?
Nana nearly squeals but just manages to conceal it, instead leaning forward with bright, happy eyes]
Sol-san, that's amazing! You're like a magician!
no subject
You think so? [Sol settles for a light laugh.] It's not as exciting as my old powers, but it's pretty useful.
