because it's just about 11/11 icly...



November 11th: international pocky day.
Pocky is a simple Japanese snack comprised of a thin biscuit stick coated in flavoured icing, from your generic chocolate and strawberry, to your more sophisticated green tea, almond crush, cookies and cream, and even amber whiskey. If you can conceive it, chances are there's a pocky, or pocky knockoff, box out there for you.
•The pocky game is a similarly simple phenomenon: two players, one pocky stick. Whoever bites their end of the pocky stick to the middle without pulling away is the winner -- even if doing so means getting a little up close and personal. Alternately, another ruleset says you have to keep eating the pocky until you kiss, so...
•All characters in the meme have a box of pocky. They can't leave until it's gone, and somehow, the sticks don't stay gone if they're eaten by just one person. Better start recruiting some partners.
•Post your blank toplevels with your characters, tag around to other pocky-stuck players, and have fun!

...So this is basically a candy-coated pretzel?

[Explain pocky to him, Chinatsu. He's confused.]

Chocolate-Coated. Sometimes strawberry, cookies and cream, matcha.... But coco's better.

[ She says between bites. Chinatsu had no problem with limitless supplies of pocky. ]

And there's a game with it, huh?

[As usual, Dust's grin is all challenge. From what he's read of the game, there's no way she'll manage to make it through a round.]

[He pops one stick between his teeth, making the call-out all the clearer.]
