WHERE: Casita's kitchen

WHAT: Butter No Jutsu
WARNINGS: Too much butter is bad for you

[It's an evening post with Mirabel! She... doesn't look very amused.]

So uh, I got one of those Furby things? It's long and it showed up in my room and scared me half to death. I've been getting a lot of stuff lately for no reason?? I got something called "Baja Blast" and it's a drink of some kind?

Also...

[She moves the camera. It's a tiny butter version of the Encanto! Like, shockingly accurate detail. There's even a tiny butter Casita! And townspeople! And the family! Look, once you find out you can magically make things out of butter you gotta see how far you can go with it okay.]

I can do this now? Uh... don't ask me how.

Wow, that sounds...useful? [He says it like he is not convinced that it is]

I got super strength after I ran into a furby in a duck pond. I wonder if there's a correlation.

I would rather have the super strength... not. Butter.

[Even though strength is more of Luisa's thing. Still! Give her something cooler than butter!]

Haha, super strength has its own drawbacks.

I mean...your power is much more useful in a movie marathon. No unbuttered popcorn!

You mean having pressure put on you to use that strength to do stuff for other people until you nearly have a breakdown?

[Is that what you mean Jun?]

I-I guess? It feels so random...

[He blinks]

Ah...no? I just mean I break stuff if I'm not careful.

Is everything ok over there?

[Because that sounds like a deep personal issue Mirabel!!!]

O-oh um... right...

[It's not her issue tho??]

Everything's fine! We're good!

[We're not good.]

Are you sure? That sounded very specific.

I mean my family... might... [and Mirabel starts talking a bit faster.] be under a lot of pressure to use their Gifts to help the community and don't always look after themselves and it's kind of worrying but I think we resolved it so it might be OK now??

Oh, because everyone knows about your miracle right?

I suppose that would put on a lot of pressure....people get high expectations when miracles are involved.

[She exhales a sigh.]

I love my community, but... I think sometimes the things they expected out of my family were a little too much sometimes, you know? But my family didn't want to disappoint the community either and well...

[Her family developed a some complexes as a result.]

[Jun pauses, trying real hard to sort out the right thing to say in response to that. ]

That's rough.

[Well. He tried.]

... Yeah, that's one way of putting it.

[It's not even really her issues to talk about but... here they are.]

[a pause]

Well, whether your powers are useful or not, I think you and your family are pretty cool.

[Mirabel smiles at that.]

Thanks, I'll relay that to my family. They could stand to hear that more often, especially my mamá, tío, and tía.

Mm. Your mama is really sweet and loving. And your tio makes great rat dramas.

I don't know your tia yet, but I'm sure she's great too.

[He isn't even questioning another madrigal showing up because of course one did]

They're really great, aren't they? All of them. [Her whole family. Her whole, messy family.]

I'll let them know they have a fan.

[Because hopefully... they know that she's their fan too.]
