WHO: Mirabel and the network
WHERE: Casita's kitchen
WHEN: 5/1
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.

[Rohan takes note of the butter and thinks of all the popcorn he can eat before answering.]

I think I've heard of Baja Blast! But what does it taste like?

[A pause.]

Can you melt the butter?

[weatherforecast]

[Pepa wasn't anticipating walking into the kitchen today to find a butter Encanto covering the kitchen counter...]

So you're doing sculpting as well as painting now? I think most artists use clay.

[It's impressive... but what a waste of butter...]

[When Lita's video comes on, the things seen in the background behind suggest that she's currently at the mall. She's also in a slight hurry, because it's Sunday evening and most of the stores are probably closing for the night rather soon.]

Oh jeez, another one? Those buggers are showin' up practically everywhere. There was a three-headed one sittin' in my closet on top of a bunch o' socks that weren't there before like it was lord o' the mismatched sock pile or somethin'. [She may or may not have slammed the closet door out of surprise (and possibly mild horror) when she saw it there.]

Also, Baja Blast is alright.

Also also, that looks real cool. Gotta ask why you did it with butter, though.

You too? I had one the other day and it was really scary! My parents didn't believe me either!

[And Antonio barely got any sleep either!]

And I guess you can make statues with it? I think it's really cool you can do that.

First of all, get rid of the Furby. Like, immediately. I recommend burning it, but do it far away from your house.

Second, Baja Blast is okay. I think it’s a bit overrated personally.

Third…that’s a really impressive sculpture, but that is a lot of butter.

Is that...butter?

[A statue from butter???]

Is this the furby's doing?

Oh, kid. I'm telling ya, you could make good money with this.

[LONG FUCKING PAUSE.]

Well. I'm glad to see you're...uh... expanding on your art, Mira? It's... a very realistic butter model. It must have taken you hours.

[Why are you like this, Mirabel. He feels he should add something encouraging here, hmm.]

...I'm proud of you?

Look who's choosing to ignore her trauma today! THIS gal!

[a_cute_batata]

Ooh, Baja blast! Haven't seen that in a minute! Months, actually!

Oh. My GOSH. That is so cute and intricate! Are you that skilled?!

[pan_acea]

[Julieta is with Pepa and Bruno on this one.]

Your Gift is very... unique, Mira, mi vida. I am sure it uh, well with how brilliant you are, I'm sure you'll find all sorts of things to do with it.

[camaleonico]

[ Camilo just so happens to have walked in the kitchen while Mirabel is filming, unseen off-screen behind her. He only overhears about half the video, but it's the second half that just about knocks him over, as he watches her pan her phone over... What the fuck is that— butter? He narrows his eyes as if seeing it better will make it make more sense, but, uh, no, it doesn't. He walks up as quietly as he can while she finishes filming, but waits to say anything until she's definitely done, to be polite. ...Which also probably startles her, oops. Was that on purpose? Hmmm... ]

Oye, Mira— move over. I need the bread.

[ He points to the loaf not so far from her on the counter. He could easily just... walk to that side of her, but nah. He reaches out his hand expectantly, leaning against the counter right beside her to the other side. Like, right beside her, though, in this whole huge kitchen... More to the point, right beside her butter-Encanto...

He wasn't even planning on eating bread, man — he was coming in here for dessert. But now he obviously has to have a very conveniently-timed and urgent craving for some simple bread and butter. He's obligated to. That's how it works. ]
