#SpellBund [ArtTober 2026 Calendar]
...
The elder cookie
A sea of photo camera flash lights, aimed at stage, wake up from daydream a guest of the event, who is Ina'nis Ninomae, a Priestess of Ancient One, a chill pun master, a human girl with a octopus [Tako] vibe. She was standing at stage with sweat covering her face with awkward expression, of not knowing what to do in this troubling situation.
Then the commentator next to her, lean toward her with a microphone in hand asking her for a few words. But she put an apologist expression. "Excuse me. But… But, there is a big misunderstanding. A misheard of what the chat/Chad heard me to said. I said; that I like variations in my cookie selection. Not a very ancient ones."
The moderator look at the pedestal, where the circle rock was seated as artifact presented to museum as a gift from her itself. It was actually a fossil of chocolate chips cookie, that was an instant big hit between archeologizes and historians. Because it prove that good stuff will survive the test of time. So the moderator must ask as what happened.
.
Young lady was eager to clear of this misunderstanding, as she began her tale of the cookie reached her. "It happen when I was between task and stop at Hololive office. When a Mane chan manger, bring me a quite fancy gift box/crate, that kind off resemble the official design pattern of Ninomae Ina'nis outfit. So I opened that gift, and there on a cushioned pillow, was this circled rock, gently sitting there as a gemstone, jewelry, or very expensive hand sized watch clock.
But in this age of time, we will probably expect that, we will found in this gift box a phone, gaming console or a tiara.
Actually, when I look at it from a different angle, it began to look like a cookie. A biscuit with a chocolate pieces.
Of course, I got confused as if I forgot at some cookie order, or someone pulling a meme prank on me. So I pick up a message note that says:
(Dear Ninomae Ina'nis, we found it! Please accept this cookie as a sing of our gratitude. This is possibly the oldest, most ancient cookie know to human kind. Its so old, that spectrometer failed to determine the supposed age. Please, enjoy. (-Chat))
That was the moment, when I remembered at the little line, that I said during the stream about liking a variety in my cookies selection. But they somehow misheard of what I said.
So when I was holding that rock in my hands and say: (I cant eat this!) I starts to wonder what to do with it? Well, I cant just leave this in my room, siting on a shelf. Especially when I dint know how much effort was put on every part of this cookie journey, that is like an epic odyssey story on its own. Somebody shall boldly call it a gift wort for goods.
So I decided, that everybody shall be blessed by this proof of a human cooking ingenuity. I just wanted it to quietly hand over to museum, who are far better equipped to handle this kind of piece of history. But I dint had any idea, of how big deal this it."
The priestess had a hard time to keep her composure . "Chat… I am just a regular cookie enjoyer!! I appreciate the gesture, but... This stuff is truly too far beyond my range."
.
In audience there was a duo with blonde and pink hairs in half disuse, unannounced. They come to the event as visitors, supporting their friend from audience, in an incognito mode.
One of them was CalliopeMori, a Rapping Soul Repaper [Shinigami] a big sis tsundere, wearing a causal clothing of a motorbiker with a shield hat down to her face and a can of beverage in her hand. We can deduct that Mori run-slide into the scene. (Obviously she was (not) collecting a lost souls on road to here, and that why, she was a little late.) While she was sipping and having (something fells odd) expression, she uttered a note to the blonde next to her. "At this stage of matter of facts, it can be actually hers."
The blonde was Amelia Watson, a traveling time detective and a game germling, got alarmed by that piece of puzzle. "Hold on for a second! Are you saying, that it is possible; that she once lost a cookie, that fall from a veranda, porch or deck, disappearing into a dirt and mud? And it was simply found, after few eons, like something forgotten for months behind a window curtain?"
Ina heard that and on spot noticed her friends in audience. Whoever, in panic she scare jitter a little, hasty trying to set the thing right. "You're again exaggerating everything. I said, that I got this from Chat."
.
Amelia as detective pushed the question further. "So, you cant prove the legitimacy of this artifact of past?"
Quest of the show saw through that tricky word play and redirected the flow. So priestess stop the floor with her foot. "What are you trying to imply here? That I got tricked by Chat? Outrageous!!" And she puffed out her cheek, feeling insulted.
.
Calliope tried to explain. "Well…" She tried to say something, but priestess was radiating this innocent aura of devotion so strongly like a deity, that the light was blinding Mori. So she was forced to defend her face with a risen hand. "Detective… I tried…"
It was trigger for the blonde. "He~ey! You set me up!" Then she have an audacity idea, she boldly throw onto the field. "Aren't we already late to the cookie party?"
That worked like a spell on Ninomae, as she fully ignored the commentator, press or even audience. "We are?! Not on my watch! Lets go!" And she elegantly run off from the stage, following the duo, who tried to fly from scene for a different reason.
.
.
Organism 46-B
The (Ame, Calli, Ina) trio was in hurry walking, down the road on a side walkway, shoulder to shoulder. A trio pairs of shoes was heard as the group was relocating.
Watson was defending her previous yapping and she rise a strong option. "Oh common! You get out of there. Dint you? Take it from an opposite point of view. Just how long it will take you, to escape the siege of journalists, on your own? Also, it was just a talk between me and Calli, that she start with her thinking outside the box." Mori complained by a (Well excuse me!) bark, but detective toss that to side, continue her case. "Take it as saving grace Ina. The fossil artifact got a nice side spice story of genuine reaction of teenage girls at fragment of history. Its clearly not the case, that you travel into to end of Mesozoic Era to Cretaceous Period and try to share a cookie with a Tyrannosaurus Rex. But he got an allergic reaction or something else happen that end the dinosaurs era."
.
There was a moment of silence as pink and purple haired girls dint say a word.
So Watson must confront the elephant in room. "Ina~a?; Tell me that you don't borrowing a time machine from time to time, to troll a universe. Please!"
But Ninomae lamented in response. "Why I have a bad felling about this? Like a premonition, that this will turn bad somehow?"
.
Amelia instead pull out her smart phone to look at message board. "Okay, I will ask Chat directly, to satisfy you need for a bullet prof alibi. Will that easy you worried mind?"
But Ina'nis had a desperate expression. "Please don't!"
.
But that was in wain, because the detective was already was log in. "Lets see. According to Chat… A red super-chat [Aka chat], from (In Cog NI to) [Incognito/ under cover], is asking:
Dear Ina, I want to ask for a piece of wisdom, asking what can you tell us about Organism 46-B. Like if there are in your birthplace house some boxes, with a research documentation marked like this. Or some photos of research team from Antarctica research expedition. Photos of your young parents as scientists. And what is the hidden connection and meaning behind; that your mom bonked you, after you call her an the ancient one?"
Mori though about that as they walk. "What the heck is that thing?… It sounded like something perverted."
.
Watson was quick with her fingers on her phone. "Already on it. Lets see:
Organism 46-B is a fictional internet urban legend about a massive, highly intelligent, and shape-shifting cephalopod, discovered deep beneath the ice of Antarctica.
The Location: The creature allegedly lived in Lake Vostok, a real subglacial lake buried under two miles of ice beneath Russia's Vostok Station in Antarctica.
The Physical Traits: The story describes a 33-foot-long (10-meter), 14-tentacled squid or octopus-like animal.
The Powers: The legend claims the creature possessed extreme shape-shifting abilities, venom that paralyzed prey from 150 feet away, and severed tentacles that remained alive and aggressive.
The Attacks: According to the myth, the organism attacked Russian researchers, sabotaged equipment, and displayed human-like cunning before the government covered up the entire incident.
They say that the scientists, allegedly did escape to surface, by locking the monster down behind the ice cap. But the numbers of heads that got out dint match the reports. Then the officials put that entire campaign under the ice, claiming that it never happened as it was described by scientist. That they actually newer been down, under the ice."
Detective was searching through the data. "So?… It sound like something got out? Disguised as someone?" She sound so genuine interested in the story at hand.
.
Mori was repeating that name of the place for a few times, as if she was searching in deeps of her memories, if she was there or have to do with anything of it.
But knowing this blonde as a prankster, there was a hint of gremlin intent behind all that talk. "Extreme Shape-shifting abilities. Octopus-like Tentacles. Human-like cunning.
A creaking/cracking noise come from the neck of priestess, that strongly resembled the turning noise of wooden dolls, when they turn they heads, but there was too much friction. And as if the scary movie content wasn't enough, only two pairs of shoes were heard, to touching the road. There were no sound of Ina's shoes touching the road as if the entity was floating in air, like a cursed doll. She was looking at them with a lifeless empty smile - empty eyes expression, just like a doll. Then she drop the divination. "Amelia Watson, do you want to be bonked by my mom?"
"Or banged!!" Drooped Mori onto the discussion, and start to laughing, proud for the clever pun. She was even luring the duo to praise her or make a reaction for her clever world play. But soon it was clear, that it was a forced laugh on her side as none of the other two laugh or gigle. "Seriously? No one?… No one…" So she sight to switch the gear. "What we need to do now, is… Huh?…" She turn her head in certain direction, having a surprised expression. She put her hands on the shoulder of the grills on her side, stooping the trio in walking and turn they attention in direction she was facing.
.

FuwaMoko and money glitch
For some reason the Abyssgard twin sisters were standing in front of some store or restaurant, or it was a kind of not a hotel. Both of them had this (What we do with this issue?) close meeting, when they body language talk about distress, signaling by theirs drop down fluffy tails.
Fuwawa, the fluffy one, blue tanned older sister, the one who know how to cook, was leaning toward her sister with expectation in her eyes: "Mogo-cha~an [Mococo], as long as you are here; We certainly won't be scammed." It was something she said during a Honkai Starlights play through gig. But right now, it was like if Fuwawa got scammed, they both got scammed.
.
The (yellow, pink, purple) trio showed themselves next to them.
And Watson was already on it, pretending to be a reporter: "Miss Mococo, how do you feel about handling money for both of you?"
Mococo, the fuzzy younger sister in red tan, the one who can count, was serious with her answer like some specialist. "Hm. It was,-- necessary…"
Then the duo realize who the trio is and got excited, they tails waving from side to side happily. "Mori senpai!! ★ Bau-Bau~u!! ♪ And Ina senpai. And the one that give a good head-pats. Bau-Bau~u!! ♪"
Ninomae lowered her shoulders. "That's an way on its own on how to put salt into a wound." She was referring to her experience as cats tend to ignore her, and just walk past. Or it was more that they glance they way, make a barely noticeable honorable greeting or a bow of head to the great one, and continue to keep they own business.
.
Detective shake her head a little, switching back onto topic, asking the hell dog duo. "So~o, what is with the scamming, you mentioned?"
Mococo, make a sour expression as if she was touching a sensitive subject that caused her already a loth of trouble in past. "My sister is not good at math."
Fuwawa in contrast throw a contra argument: "Haeh?! [What?!] At last I know how to cook."
For some reason rapper thought its funny to drop a comment: "Sound like if someone here is irresponsible to be an older sister. LoL." and she giggle from a clever note.
.
Blue sister take it as insult, as she try to support her defense with (Believe me!) gesticulation. "What are you talking about, Mori senpai. I can be responsible too, and you too have a few hairs that don't grows right."
But red sister slowly turn her head toward her sibling, having a serious expression. Staring at her sister silently, as if she trying to ask (Are you serious? Do you heard what you just said?)
Blue one eventually noticed that something is wrong, and get nervous. Fuwawa dint want to be left at side, so she said she had to be the one who can cook, because she take on herself the responsibility to feed both of them.
Calli saw it all and start to laugh (What is this? LoL) Except the blond violet duo look up at Mori wondering about what's going on, maybe she had an alcohol drink and now is in party vibe mood.
.
Jet Mococo put her foot down, as she glared at her sister. "No treat for you today!"
Fuwawa gasp for air. "No treat??" And whine. "Mogo-chan, that's to cruel." Spreading her arms in need for a calming hug from her sister.
.
Red one roll her eyes around, knowing well that this will go for all day, if she dint easy the leach. "Okay, only half of treat for you."
On spot, blue one put on a happy face. "Yeey, Mogo-chan, I love you!♥"
Before Mori had moment to drop another pun, Watson was already reading from her phone. "Chat to Cally: If you still deciding a gift for bau bau; Then an accounting book for Mococo plus a pro wallet with an account diary attached to it for a quick records, plus a slot in valet for bill receipts. And for Fuwawa, a cute small pocket-money wallet, and a cute photo holder on it. Both with a string to hang on a neck"
Letting the pink woman to think, Ninomae asked the sister duo: "On the other note. What are you doing here, anyway?"
.
They pointed toward the establishment, that give out a Inn vibe, starting with Fuwawa. "Gura senpai can get out. We tried to pick her up. But they asking us for money, to even enter."
So Mococo was the one who had an issue with the setting. "Its too much."
Ina got a dreamy expression while glancing at the front door. "Hmmm. Fooood…"
But Watson was back on track. "How much she owes on bills in depth?"
Except Mori frown. "Probably more than a minute ago. Lets go!" And she boldly walk toward the door.
.
.
Plushies
Right behind door was a front desk, where they got explained, that this is some kind of experiment of combining play ground, food stand, Inn, spa, and more; to see how the public will react to it. Plus there was a piece of an important warning flag, about something supernatural going around.
Ina cut that explanation short with: "Say no more, we are In!" While rising a thumb up a faint smile.
.
The party split to found the missing person.
It was quite easy to found Gawr Gura, the friendly shark from Atlantis (allegedly), who is too much interested in feet but bad at math. She was right at one of the side rooms, fully visible.
The gymnasium hall sized room, was the pools of plushies area. Not just one pool for diving head first into the bunch of plushies, but many of them with various content was around. Plus the slide heading to swimming pool full of squishy cubes.
But the reason as why she was unable to leave was probably summarized by the person that was there with her. Namely Sakamata Chloe, a clumsy orca gothic assassin, problem solver and intern from Holo-X team.
Both of them having a silly push contest, where they happy smile holding they meter long fish plushies, pushing it against plushy of other girl, having a jolly conversation which one is more cute. It was an intense battle of cuteness, because Gura holds a shark plushy and Chloe orca plushy. Like a best friends on a sleep over, showing they bed plushies as hug pillows for a better sleep.
The one who found them was Calliope Mori and we know that her bed hug pillow is this at last 2 meter long slim snake dragon. (Maybe longer, for her to wrap its body around her.) Clearly, it will be interesting to see her sleep rolling around in her giant master bed, across entire surface left-right front-back, during a live dream, while she will hold onto her plushie. So one can say, that a sleep monster visited during night and there was a battle.
.
So as terminator movie beats echoed through the air announcing someone entrance to scene, Rapper putt down her foot in high hells shoes, to make a loud echo that alerted the duo to look her direction. (Did she change clothing, just to make an impacting entrance?) Camera focus on that female feet, as if the recording device was laying on floor. We can already notice that the far end of tail of a dragon plushie is secured, to by round around her ankle as is thin enough to do it. Plus we can see that fluffy bump end of tail laying at floor a little behind her foot.
As the camera start to rise from floor up, we can see that the body of snake dragon plushy, is rounding around the body of the pink haired woman, who are standing in photo power stance.
Following the trail of upstanding scales at the spine of the dragon, that going from tail to head, camera rise up, all the way to the face of Mori. She make sure to hold that plushy in a way that it look like it rounding around her body like a snake, who can hold onto human skin of they care takers. Especially she hold that dragon fluffy head gently on her shoulder by her palm, so it will properly face the fish duo and not slip down or to side.
Now we can see, that she brought her plushy to the game. While she was standing there proudly, eyes excited as she was facing them, she released a proud cloud of steam from her nose.
.
Both Gura and Chloe; both girls rise thumb up toward Mori in a gentlemen way. They were once again wearing the cosplay to a white haired gentlemen with fake thick white mustache, a black tall cylinder hat on top of heads and fake monocle on single eye. [a predecessor of eye sight correction glasses, that is just a round glass on a sting. It holds on place by squeezing the muscles. When someone punched the gentlemen into monocle during a discussion dispute brawl, next day that person had a blue/violet circle around the eye = the monocle.]
With the trio of hug plushies enthusiasts, they had an high-society little-talk between two gentlemen and a lady.
.
.
Calliope keys
A moment later it come to talk, that the place is so dam big that the duo is actually lost here. Mori dint buy that as legit, and call them to not be able to leave because they having a fun. Now there is an entire group looking for them. But the duo challenged Rapper to try to reach the front desk, to figure this place on her own.
Without letting them to finish, she dash from the doors she come in. But she shortly found that navigating this place is another type of challenge. She dint even managed to return to the room with the pools of plushies.
Irstead she start to strolling that place, that start to feel like an enchanted labyrinth. The corridors of rows of door seems to look similar, but on second glance it was confusing like an ninja house attraction with a lot of places, rooms, hallways and stairs, that were designed to be rob the attacker from sense of orientation.
.
As she opened a certain door to peak onto the room, she saw a (guy or someone) playing on a musical instrument that look like something that you found on traveling circus. It was a box on wheel, a cart machine, a mobile steam-piano machine-keys calliope. That machine had its own steam generator to run it. So the moment this muse for a woman saw that instrument, her eyes wide up wildly.
As this person went for moment away, Mori Calliope (off screen) lean onto the scene her scythe, to joink the machine. She was successful to drag that thing away and soon a music play come from off screen.
The (someone) returns with snack on plate and steaming mug. But the machine is gone. So this person look to side, (and camera follow), to observe as pink haired woman goofing around like crazy kid, while playing that steam-piano.
Of course the woman notice the stare, froze, and stop playing. She stand up and rise her scythe, before looking up at the observer.
But, that person, dint get afraid. Instead it offers its snack to her, putting the dishes onto a table attached from side to the music machine.Making and applause with its hands, clapping, this person shows a respect to other musician, actually touched that someone else is enjoin this aging music instrument. Then from corner of the clotting it will pull of up a note book with a classic carnival fair riders and song, especially composed for this type of instrument.
She got excited with (Oh my gosh! Are you serious? I can play?) expression.
And so, this person's day was saved.
.
.
Mythical dinner menu
Time had moved on, and the pink musician headed toward the community and dinner area where eventually everybody visit a few times per day. So what she entered was an bistro, bar, pit stop on interstate road, Inn and Tavern. All that in one package.
Several character was presented here and finding her friends was a moment of just a single look around. They were gathered around certain Go-Go dance podium. It was like a risen bar table something with stairs up to it, and a dinner table around it, rounding it up on entire length expect the stairs.
They were discussing about something so she decided to bump in. "Hi Palls! What are you doing?"
As they explain that they trying to get a food, but the system itself is a game of tricks, to provide an inspiration for a dish. So she tell them, she's in.
Gura turn to Ina and Kiara. "Okay, you heard her. Onto the table, ladies!" Because she felt on her skin, the hungry stare from hungry orca, she too went up the staircase.
That podium was big enough for a one Go-Go dancer, but right now the trio had to squee there, to perform a simple improvized dancing to entertain the audience.
So Mori observed how Ina, Kiara the crazy phoenix and Gura dancing on the table size podium, like a paid dancers in a night club. "What are you doing!?"
.
The AbbysGuard sisters cling up on a Rapper from both sides, putting they arms around her hands, holding her in place. Fluffy Fuwawa spoke from one side. "Calli senpai, they gonna summon the chef genie/jinn." Followed by fuzzy Mococo from other side. "Don't go up there Cally senpai!" And both of them made a sad "Bau-Bau." as if they had a personal interest against this one to providing the inspiration.
Pink woman got curious about what the duo was talking and as why, they holding her down. But a change occurred on podium as the trio got enveloped by stage reflectors light emitting from the platform. So the dancers were shining like on disco floor, for everybody to see. It look like they were inside of a bottle.
An control panels positioned at the dancing podium cylinder structure reveled themselves to the audience. On second glance it was reveled that the podium is a retro-futuristic food dispenser.
.
For some reason Chloe the Orca, was too haste to pushing the controls, quickly dashing through the selections. She was focused on task whit a power aura around her. In a moment the gate in front of her got opened and her order got delivered on the pick up desk right in front of her. What she got on plate was this quite big long piece of a maybe a raw fish meat [filet]. Or it was so well prepared that it look gorgeous? The side dish addons stuff like one baked potato sliced on four pieces were more as decoration to the main course. Sakamata seemed obsessed by what she had on plate to point that her mouth was watering as her predatory eyes were darted on the dish in front of her. Plus the glass of water was more for the customer to not choke on the food.
No she had starry spark in her eyes as her body was doing a happy dance gestures. She quickly grabbed that food trail plate and withdraw to side, to the tables, where she literally start devouring the dish.
All this time Gura the shark was keeping an eye on that gothic assassin girl, as if dodging a bullet. But she still fell nervous.
[In animal kingdom, its recorded that Orcas attacking sharks, to not getting full belly, but treating them as a snack. Shark on other hand are considered as ocean trash remover. So when you stop moving/swimming, sharks got interested to know as why you don't move. Orcas on other hand poop up they heads above water surface to take a (Will I eat you?) look on a boat.]
.
Confused Calli only now noticed that the Bau-Bau duo was already standing at dispenser, operating they own menu panels and having a ping-pong discussion about what they choosing and why.They cant be more different, if it come to food taste.
So Mori step closer to look on an unoccupied control panel, with a curiosity. "So today menu is:... nuggets, filets and dumplings." Suddenly she figure it out. "Now I know why you don't want me to do it. That will be a bone to pick up. Its like a dodging a taste bullet for some mortals around." Then she realize that the sister duo are a dogs and they though that she will be for them, not juicy enough. Or they were not a fan of a dairy products. [Milk, Calliope Milk] Or that bull meat will be, too much rough. [Calliope having a ranch background?] So the woman bark at them. "Hey!!"
But they try to ignore her as they quickly redirected they attention to Gura and Kiara asking them what they shall pick up for them. In contrast Phoenix got insulted by the vague selection toward her inspiration dance, toward the premium body she had, toward that butty was used as a reference. So she descended the stairs from the Go-Go dancer podium and run march toward the kitchen, wanting to speak with the whoever dared to insult her. Shark jumped to the sister duo, quickly choosing something like a chicken pizza.
Some other character joined around the food dispenser interested in today special.
But Ninomae Ina'nis who stayed behind up there on podium, had an deep realization on life crisis level. "Nobody picking dumplings…" She squad in front of Mori, seeking a salvation help from a pink one bellow her. "Excuse me! Why nobody picking Takoyaki?"
[Wikipedia: Takoyaki is a ball-shaped Japanese snack made of a wheat flour–based batter and cooked in a special molded pan. It is typically filled with minced or diced octopus (tako), tempura scraps (tenkasu), pickled ginger (beni shoga), and green onion (negi). The balls are brushed with takoyaki sauce and mayonnaise, and then sprinkled with green laver (aonori) and shavings of dried bonito (katsuobushi).
Yaki, meaning 'to grill', is one of the cooking methods in Japanese cuisine and can be found in the names of other dishes in Japanese cuisine such as okonomiyaki and ikayaki (other famous Osakan dishes). Typically, it is eaten as a snack or between meals, but in some areas it is served as a side dish with rice. It is an example of konamono (konamon in the Kansai dialect), or flour-based Japanese cuisine.]
.
Pink haired woman in a deep thinker posture was still looking at the menu displayed on the panel. "I am sorry, but we are not on festival." She glance up an got a mental slap up from what she see.
Purple haired girl was in (Sad little girl) mod, where her watered eyes by large tears were big and round like a marbles, glaring at adult woman in seek for help. "Takobochi…." [Pun on octopus.]
.
Soul rapper only now fully realize that her friend feels alone, because the customers not picking any dish based on her or her traits and vibe. So as big sister of the group, Mori tried to found an answer that will not hurt the delicate heart of a maiden. She even folded her arms on her chest as she closed her eyes for a moment. "The are too ordinary to be pick up on a house party."
Priestess of ancient one, saw that there is an hidden opening to persuade at last this her friend to pick up at last something based on her. So she rise her finger in (I have an idea) gesture, as she spoke with a smile an face expression filled with a hope. "A tri-collor dango dumplings!"
[Wikipedia: Dango is a Japanese dumpling made with regular rice flour and glutinous rice flour. They are usually made in round shapes, and three to five pieces are served on a skewer, which is called kushi-dango. The pieces are eaten with sugar, syrup, red bean paste, and other sweeteners. Generally, dango falls under the category of wagashi (Japanese confectionery), and is often served with green tea. It is eaten year-round, but the different varieties are traditionally eaten in given seasons. Dango is sometimes compared with mochi (rice cake), but is different in that mochi is generally made only with glutinous rice.
Hanami dango (flower/ three-color) is usually made during sakura (cherry tree) -viewing season. The order of the three colored dumplings is said to represent the order in which cherry blossoms bloom. Pink represents cherry buds, white represents cherry blossoms in full bloom, and green represents leafy cherry blossoms after they have fallen.]
.
Mori knew, what that girls was hinting about, so she was willing to make this little compromise, as she glanced toward Ina. "Now we talking!" But she was keeping an eye on the display and saw how the menu items were changing. "Also, I seek a real meal not a snack, so stop sneaking onto the menu a whole pastry category. How the Bau-bau sisters?; were capable to sniff out the heavy bias in food selection, from the very beginning?" She was ready to put her foot down and stop this game of wits. "Also, you do realize, that I can sense you? Ginnie in the box." She was literally staring at the entire cylinder as id looking directly onto it.
There was this moment of (stare contest?) between Rapper and the food dispenser. Camera focus flipping between them as Mori frown and the machine display flick in screen hum. As the woman frown even more, we can nearly hear the electric static on background.
.
Then she put her hands on her hips, standing up in a challenger stance. Her strict face expression tell the story that she is ready to get violent if necessary. "Okay, That's enough! Give me a steak!"
The dispenser gate hasty opened and a piece of meat flow out, straight forward her.
A raw, very nice, juicy piece of beefsteak, smashed directly onto her face, slapping her across her cheek in a mocking way, with that moisture splatting sound of getting stuck onto her face. (Her strict facial expression dint change.)
The meat was so juicy to point, that you heard it, how it peel off the cheek skin under its own weight. It leave a juicy mark on her stoned face.
When it was free, it flew down. Like an athlete who jumping over the horizontal pole, the steak swung around certain well developed hills on its way down. In clear score it miss that obstacle.
Then the piece of juicy meat, splash on the floor right in front of the woman, releasing its juice onto a splash pool, like a blood stain after a kill.
Only now, Mori move her eyes to track the steak. This ranch girl who is a fan of actually good real beefsteak meal, got cold-angry as if that piece of meat spread on floor, was mocking her in an language that only ranchers know.
With a cold expression, she rise her foot high like if she was going to step on chair. Then she put her feet down, violently stomping onto that ingredient. A cold wave rise from her foot, instantly freezing the meat so fast and so deeply, that the former steak shattered into thousand glass like shards and particles. The cold was so intense, that the floor was freezing, and audience observed, how ice layer was spreading across the floor.
.
The Bau-Bau duo hasty withdraw from there, holding they food plates, while panic-running randomly around like in half circles, and shouting: "Bau! Bau!" It was super effective, as they manage to run off with they food.
Even the shark take her 20 inch pizza, and like a submarine withdraw to side, with a (Among us, theme) jingle.
A little panic chaos occurred as some random background characters yelp, when noticed that cold blooded death spreading around.
But to this chaos, fire up Kiara Takanashi, roamed onto the scene. "What's going on here?! I left for five minutes and the floor is already on fire. Again!! I keep telling you guys to keep your shit together, when you are out on floor duty." Then she realize, that she is not in her KFP [Kiara fried phoenix restaurant.] and correct herself. "I mean on Ice… Ice?" She finally look at the central mischievous figure and her eyes wide. "Cally, what the heck?!"
Because the pink cold beauty was fuming, the one who spoke up to explain was Gigi Murin, a free-spirited Chaser and mischievous gremlin with a sticky-grabby hand-like tail. But it was in her own way. "If you want to know, the big sis was so bold toward the cook, that the genie/jinn slap his meat onto her face. She was not a fan of that plain move, so she take the lead in this fore play. She rise her foot high like a thorn princess, and delivered cold-blooded stomp onto that meat. Her skill level was a shock to many, as she beat that meat to hard, that we watched it to get completely destroyed, obliterated into nothing. How coll-y cold of her."
.
Takanashi tried to stay calm like a boss explaining stuff to clumsy employee. She even clap her hands together, take a breath and pointed the prayer hand gesture toward the short girl as a sign of giving that one her full attention. "Gigi, In fact I am certain, that you are (BS) Bull Sh***ng me!"
Murin hold her stands. "I telling the truth. Look!" She make gesture to suggest that the taller orange one shall look around. "The (edgy?) one (hire/employ), is taking notes." [An edgy girl is a person who embraces an unconventional, bold, and countercultural style or attitude that pushes social boundaries.]
But the gremlin keep to talk. "An Ina sensei, is already on tenth (10th) page, of whatever she is drawing. Don't know what it is, but all the stuff she put down, are censored by this 18+ adult censor filter mosaic."
Next to the short orange was short red, A Hakos Bealz, rat the harbinger of chaos, the end of ends, a steel rose trapped in a cage of ice. Similar to Ninomae she had too, a hard time realization as she spoke up. "Bruh, where is that extra person, you talking about? Also, Chef the genie/jinni, already run away in panic. And I don't think it will return at all."
.
Taller orange girl look at the short duo. "Gigi!, Bae! From where you two pop-up/come anyway?!"
Without a hesitation both of them answered in unison: "From a rat maze." A rat maze or a ferret course is an playground attraction with tube like corridors, for kids to crawl traverse there like a rats. But in case of those two, it can be a lab rat maze for experiments, or an actual crawler dungeon full of monsters, beast and ghosts. Or they were in underground catacombs. Or in rabbit like cave network.
Takanashi sighed as she touched her head. "Well it was the today special from a Chef the jinni, or canned food." Then she put down her foot, taking the leadership of situation. "Ina!; get down of there, right now! Over there is a whole section of a canned food. For some reason it look like a local combine store. They have instant ramen sup cup corner." Then she turn her attention to Mori, leaning toward with scolding attitude. "Cally No!-- Don't you dare to crash this dimension. Just look at what happening here!" She pointed at that former food dispenser, who was slowly sinking into the melted floor, like a bonbon candy thrown to a cup of hot dense chocolate.
.
Calliope coldly tried to escape the pep talk. "For my defense. The genie is an pervy prankster."
But Kiara frown, spitting fire while stating the obvious. "You making it to easy for them." Then she sigh. "Because of you, the jinni had so big hiccup that the entire genie lamp dimension got destabilized." She quickly snap from it. "Okay, we need to found everybody before the situation got out of the hand."
The moment she said that the floor around the food dispenser snap like a mirror that suddenly broke into pieces. Both of them fall into a hole following the dispenser at the way to darkness. All this time, Mori cold stared Takanashi, for triggering this flag.

Magic with M-M
A genie/jinni lamp is a magical place, where reality don't seem to have a boundaries. When Mori opened her eyes again, she suddenly realize that she is in her house. Of course she was aware, that this must be the creation of the jinni, pulled out of her own memories.
Then she heard a muffled sounds of her not been alone in the house. The noises comes from a specific room, she dedicated as a warehouse. Because she knew how high the shipment prices are, she tell her coworkers from behind the sea and ocean, that they can send they merchandise and goods to her place. Then they can pick up them later, when they come to visit.
She approached that room and saw that the door are slightly open, witch resulted that the noises can get out. So she got curios and peak in. There was indeed someone inside and according the noises it was going through the wares/stock inside that room. It was still not clear if this is one of her coworker or friends who was looking for they stuff, or a Bulgar cough in dilemma, to not knowing what to take, because there was too much to steal, but the carrying capacity is too little for everything.
So the Rapper silently sneak inside.
.
What she found was an another pink haired woman with athletic body, standing in front of fancy mirror set, pooping up from a ship size trunk chest.
Calliope at first failed to recognize this person, so she was sneaking closer. Then her body and mind, come to stop, as the little hints finally click together like a puzzle and she froze in place with (What? I don't get it.) dumb expression.
.
The one who was standing in front of mirror was Mama Mori, mother of Calli and quite fitness enthusiast, surpasses even her daughter in her training routine. What probably happened is, that she come to visit her daughter home. So when she was doing a house inspection, she found this room. She maybe though that her daughter went on shopping spree and become an hoarder who gathered so much stuff that she fall into a position where she never opened them and put away for maybe later use. When she look around, she got curious about all this stuff.
Then she found this high-fantasy high-quality costume. Holding that package box in her hand, she blush, probably talking to herself. "Certainly… my little Calli is not interested… in this type of stuff… Did she?"
Next she noticed that large trunk standing next to wall like something important. We talking about massive chest, used in past to during travel across the oceans, that contain the entire wardrobe and stuff, of traveling person, who aiming to stay at destination for months of so, then move again. It was taller that average person, and so big, that even if it had its own wheals to roll across hotel halls, it it need a crane to be load and uload from ship or so. This one look like a set for a magician, that open to sides like a clothing robe. A traveling magic trick performer, or musician, can use those to move all they stuff between stages.
Her eyes wide up, when she noticed it hide a full body tall mirrors, and even had a perfect lighting system like inside of a dress cabin in a cloth shopping shop.
But curiosity bit Mama Mori hard, and she hasty look around, swinging her head from left to right, as if looking if somebody watching her. She look down on that costume box. "Certainly… a girl cant resist to wear a cute dress."
And so, Mama Mori, wearing a cute magical girl costume, holding the cute magic wand; was photo posing in front of mirrors, doing the happy face wink gig, even dropping a cool one line or two. She was enjoying the cosplaying.
Then the destiny hit hard as her eyes in mirror track at person behind her; at her own daughter who had this (Mom?; what are you doing?) dumb expression.
As she hasty turn around, her happy expression flipped to full embarrassing one. Her tomato red face and (scared cat) body language screamed: "Oh no!! The only person who shall never see this, show up!! And she saw everything from a first row seat!!"
Mama Mori panicked so hard, that she lost any control, and before she even realize, she used that wand to cast a strong spell.
.
In contrast of overreaction of her mom, Calliope had (Oh shit!! Not this again!!) stone calm expression. She watched how light emitting from the wand rise on strength, how it enveloped rapper, until everything become a white light.
.
Then she opened her eyes again, awakened by sings of birds. On spot she realize that she was Isekai'd. [Isekai'd means being transported, reincarnated, or trapped in a parallel, fantasy, or game world.]
So she lamented aloud to the wind, demanding to know an answer to a rhetoric question. "Mo~om, whyy~~yy???"
Then she noticed the guard in plate armor who saw the entire thing, and spoke up to her. "Welcome traveler from afar. Welcome, to kingdom of Libestal." [Libestal is the fantasy world and setting of ENigmatic Recollection, a multi-media project by hololive production starring hololive English members. Minecraft server]
Calliope Mori was not happy by that revelation. [Google: Revelation in hololive's ENigmatic Recollection (ENreco) project is a core mechanic and action where characters regain a fragment of their power, signature weapon, or item by chanting "Revelation" during major encounters (such as the Stain King fight).]
