[The door to the bedroom is thrown open and Soleil, panicked, steps in, interrupting whatever Makoto is doing. Studying, probably. Sleeping? Changing? Making meth? Whatever it is, Soleil doesn't even register it.]

Makoto, we have an emergency.

[justfists]

[she screams-- she'd just finished a shower and she clutches her towel around herself, a shrill]

Soleil!

[sunnymerc]

[She walks around in only a towel all the time so she registers nothing inappropriate right here.]

Orihime is cooking.

[She whispers as though it is a terrifying secret.]

[justfists]

[PLEASE LET HER CHANGE, SHE CAN'T HANDLE THIS. but also

she smells it, from the kitchen, and slowly she moves her hand to cover her mouth. This is extremely dangerous.]

Oh no...

[a dramatic pause-- and then]

But that could still wait for me to change!

[sunnymerc]

Huh? This isn't a problem that can be solved with pants.

[She has no idea why waiting for Makoto to change has to do with anything, at all.]

She's going to the farmer's market and is going above and beyond here. She's making desserts, but...I saw taco seasoning, peppers, cottage cheese, and just...well, do you know how to write a will?

[justfists]

Soleil... you could just not eat it.

[makoto is offering a very sensible suggestion in her towel. while also being beat red. it's fine.]

[sunnymerc]

[Sensible? Soleil's face says that is anything but sensible.]

Have you seen the look on her face when people eat her treats?

[justfists]

No, but I've seen what happens in the wake of people eating her cooking.

What... exactly do you think I can do for this?

[sunnymerc]

--Uh.

[She wracks her brain for a moment. There is only one sure fire way for Makoto to help her out here.]

Split them with me? You always work so hard, so you deserve a treat.

[That's a nice sentiment? She may already be forgetting that eating some of those treats are a punishment.]

[justfists]

This is not a treat... Which you're perfectly aware of.

[she exhales, pondering.]

... Maybe... we should get a pet?

[she's hesitating. Are pets allowed in the dorms? Small ones, surely...]

[sunnymerc]

[Soleil frowns, clearly disappointed in Makoto!]

Makoto! We can't feed a pet Orihime's things! That would be mean...and would definitely kill it. Unless we got a goat. I think they can eat anything.

[justfists]

No, but a pet would be a good distraction for everyone... don't you think?

[sunnymerc]

Yeah!

--Wait, are you serious? A baby with three moms is the sort of progressive, out-of-the-box thinking I'd expect from you.

[Sure, whatever.]

[justfists]

I-- baby?

Oh, wait.

Yes.

A pet-baby. That is exactly what I'm thinking.
