Event Eight.
![]() | |
The heart's dearest solace will smile on me there. No more from the cottage again will I roam, Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home. | |
Welcome to Awash's eighth event log, everyone! Further information on this event can be found here at the OOC post. |

[ What could be better than a quaint, family owned restaurant? How about one with an incredibly attractive (and perhaps a bit egotistical) man standing behind the counter? Gaku may not have had the time to master soba making like his mother and grandmother had (thanks again, dad) but he still knows the basics.
And he definitely remembers how to be a good host. When someone else has the incredibly good fortune to wander in, he flashes them a warm smile and gestures to one of the tables. ]
Have a seat. There's enough soup for two, if you want any.
( B )
[ Maybe you've been here for a while, or maybe you've just walked in. Regardless, Gaku has a few different things spread out on the table in front of him, and he waves his current visitor over. Most of what's in front of him are things like flour, rice, spices, dishware, and utensils. ]
What do you think would be most helpful to bring? I've already grabbed the sentimental things for myself, so I thought something else might help.
b, ish
At least Tenn is practical about things. ]
Do we have any salt? [ It's one of the most important things Tenn can immediately think of, at any rate. ]
no subject
Salt, though. That seems like a better idea, and Gaku picks up a container of it. ]
Nope. [ Pause. ] ... If it's already white, do you think it'll taste the same...?
no subject
[ Tenn doesn't know, because food wasn't as high on his priority list as an emergency stockpile of inhalers for Riku, but, you know.
At any rate, he slides into one of the seats, putting his elbows straight on the table like he has absolutely no manners. ]
If you make soba taste the same here, I'll take some.
[ Please, he'll take anything that tastes good and familiar at this point. ]
no subject
If you're hoping for something as good as we usually serve, you're out of luck. I'm not as good as mom.
[ Gaku's willing to be arrogant about a lot of things, but not this. ]
I'll feed you, but no complaints.
no subject
He hasn't exactly been making an effort to be any nicer, now that they're in Crazyville, but at the same time he hasn't been quite as acerbic as normal -- largely because the normal goal of "being an idol" isn't exactly present. Riku's constant presence near Tenn can't be forgotten, either, because it isn't like anyone can be too mean when Riku is in proximity. ]
Anything is better than what we've been eating.
no subject
[ He's tired of eating things that taste like ash, even if it is nice to be spared Tenn's constant need to be a catty bitch. Thus, reassurances received, he serves up a bowl for each of them and is sitting down across from Tenn just a moment later. ]
Let's eat.
[ It'll be nice and relaxing. ]
A!
He takes the offered seat, sitting gingerly and folding his hands in his lap. Everything looks so well-cared for.
And on top of all of that, people keep offering him food when he finds them in their doors. He's never eaten so much in his life, so many new flavors and experiences.]
What is this place?
no subject
[ Which seems pretty self-explanatory to Gaku, but... he looks Phoenix up and down for a moment before he adds: ]
It's a type of noodle dish where I'm from.
no subject
I've never heard of it before.
[But it sounds like it's good, if this is a place specifically for that one food. He cranes his head to watch what Gaku's doing.]
no subject
Like I said, there's enough for two if you want to try.
no subject
I'd love to!
no subject
I have forks if you don't know how to use these.
no subject
B
I wonder how long would the flour and rice can last. It would be good to bring dishware, maybe the spices if there's a place to store them.
no subject
[ So both of those seem like good choices, but... dishware... ]
I am pretty tired of eating from bowls that looks like they're about to crumble into dust.
no subject
[While he was very careful with them it did feel as if they would crumble away at any minute. He worried that he gripped the bowl too hard sometimes.]
What else should we bring? Forks? Spoons? Cups? I'm still trying to figure out what we can carry that we'll be able to store easily.
no subject
[ Hmm. ]
We should take the flour or rice, first, and then come get more dishes afterwards.
no subject
[Ryuu walks over to get a look at the flour and the rice to see which one they would need first.]
Hey when we come back maybe we can have some soba? It's been awhile since we went out to get some together.
no subject
Estelle hadn't really followed anyone in, but the smell of food is unmistakable to her determined nose when she stumbles through the portal. Or maybe she's just that hungry. Either way, she'll follow it to the counter, and as soon as Gaku offers her a seat, her face lights up in delight.]
Really?!
[....Gaku she's just met you but you are now officially a Friend. It's kind of like you offered a small puppy a treat, really.]
no subject
Of course. Have to ever had it before?
[ He needs to know exactly how much he should talk it up. ]
no subject
Uuuum.... not sure, really. What kind of soup is it?
[It looked like it has some sort of noodles in it....? And it smelled good, for sure, and Estelle settles in the seat to get a better look.]
no subject
[ He tilts his pan so she can see the little cubes of tofu that he's frying. ]
... has scallions and chili flakes in it, and it's topped with fried tofu.
[ Hopefully she knows what all of those ingredients are, or she's an adventurous eater. ]
no subject
Buckwheat....? Chili....? Huh....
[Estelle does not look the least bit freaked out by potentially spicy noodles, lucky for Gaku. She's absolutely eaten weirder sounding and loved it.]
I've never heard of topping noodles with something like that, but I bet it tastes delicious!!!
no subject
[ Or at least, half his family's specialty. Regardless, it only takes a few more moments for the tofu and noodles to both finish, and once they are he puts everything together. A few moments later Estelle is presented with a bowl of noodles sprinkled with tofu and sliced green onions, all of it in salty, slightly spicy broth.
Though at the last second something else occurs to him. ]
... Do you know how to use chopsticks?
