THE MUSE HAS BEEN WAITING FOR THIS MOMENT.

[testosteroned]

Who: Kanji Tatsumi and YOU.
Where: Cozi Corner restaurant.
When: Right now. About 10 minutes after he woke up from hiatus-induced sleep.
Style: [ Action! ], but if you're more comfortable with prose, I'm cool with that too.
Status: Open like his bathhouse, man.

[ Upon awakening from one of the most comfortable slumbers he had ever had in his entire life, Kanji realized two things. First, his room stank something similar to moth balls stuffed in closets that were already centuries old to begin with. Second, his stomach growled like you wouldn't believe; it even shocked poor old Kanji.

He was almost ready to admit that he simply had a metabolism faster than he was aware of. And that his thirty minute power nap used up all of his three-course meal's stored energy. He was almost ready to admit that.

But then, Kanji saw his SFC, and the current date that it flashed on its little screen. ]

[ After a few healthy, and unexpectedly original!, shouts and curses into the air, Kanji also realized his roommates were not around, and the kitchen was empty. ]

[ Hence, dear passerby, this image of Kanji currently sitting alone inside Cozi Corner, three piles of plates and bowls speedily increasing in height next to him. His gaze is fixed on his food, which kept on coming from the kitchen like an assembly line. The chef glances outside his work station once in a while, looking frighteningly worried. Still, he continues to serve Kanji's orders. Speaking of... ]

[ The boy man in question wipes his mouth with his forearm and burps slightly, before dropping the once pristine white bowl on top of the second pile of dirty dishes. It may or may not have been the home to the largest order for chicken curry. He exhales heavily and waves towards the kitchen. ]

Yo! Can I get an extra order for pot stickers, Chinese shrimp and leek fried rice, miso soup, and barbequed pork meat buns?

[ He pauses. ]

Oh, and uhh, add five more orders of egg rolls! A-And crispy noodles, if you still have 'em!

[ Kanji rubs his hands together, then chugs down a cold soda. He grins as soon as he finishes his cup. ] Phew! See, stupid-cursed-bubble-city? You make me fall asleep for nearly two months and you unleash the beast! Damn, I. am. starving! C'mon, chef! BRING IT ON!

[ In his excitement, Kanji bangs his fists heavily against the table, making it wobble violently. The piles of dishes next to him end up dangerously close to the edge, but otherwise stay still. Hooboy.

WHO WANTS TO JOIN HIM FEAST? HE HAS THE BEST TABLE MANNERS, I SWEAR ON MY LIFE. ]

[She smiles and writes again, showing him when she's done.]

Okay, as long as you don't get sick from eating too much! Do you mind if I sit here? I'm hungry too.

[She coughs a few times quietly, her body shaking slightly with each cough. There's your answer Kanji; she's sick.]

[testosteroned]

[ Yup. He totally gets it now. Kanji rubs the back of his neck and replies before anything else. ]

N-Nah. I got the heart of a bull; I ain't gonna get no cold! [ He smiles, and at her question, Kanji gestures with a sharp tug of his head to the side that she's free to take the empty seat in front of him. ]

Oh, and yeah go on and siddown. Uhh, should you even be goin' around like this when you're sick? Shouldn't you be resting?

[clumsyblonde]

[in which Caitlin is silly. She grins and quickly writes again.]

Thanks! I ran out of soup ingredients at my apartment and I'm not rooming with anyone so I went to go get some more. And eating at a restaurant is easier than cooking anyway.

Heheh, I've been resting this entire week. I needed some fresh air.

[She sits down in front of him and picks up a menu, but she sets it down after a moment and writes something again, tilting her head.]

What's a bull?

I am so sorry for the lateness of this tag :( :( :( RL was a bitch :(

[testosteroned]

[ He manages to smile at that. I mean, after swallowing, that is. ]

Heh. Yeah, you got that right. Fresh air and some walkin' around never hurt nobody.

[ He squints and starts reading the next thing she writes. ]

You...don't know what a bull is? Seriously? The animal? With the uhh, horns and everything?

RL likes to eat people! It's fine

[clumsyblonde]

Yep! Most of the time it helps too.

[She rubs the back of her head with one hand.]

I've seen boars, but I've never heard of a bull. I don't think you're talking about a kind of humanoid monster, but those are the only things I can think of that have horns.

Thanks ;; LET ME MAKE UP FOR THIS

[testosteroned]

Humanoid monster -- what, no! Hell no!

[ He slurps up his soup and gestures for the pen and paper. ]

Can't believe you dunno what a bull is. Y'know, bulls? Torro? Those things that chase the red cloth around the Spanish guys? Bulls?

[ Nothing. Still nothing. Kanji shrugs and again, gestures for the pen and paper. Better draw her a good image to get the point across. BECAUSE WHY DOESN'T SHE KNOW THE BULL. ]

Here, lemme try showin' ya.

\o/

[clumsyblonde]

[Spanish? Torro? All the confusion. She tilts her head to a side. Maybe bulls are a common thing in his world. She knows now that starfish that attack people aren't common here at all, so it's possible.

She hands him her pen and the sketchpad after turning it to a new page and then starts looking over the menu again. She did come here to get something to eat after all.]

[testosteroned]

[ Kanji grabs the pad paper and pen and starts drawing...a really elaborate picture of a bull! It was no masterpiece, but it was good enough to make out the general shape; the horns, the ring inserted into the nostrils, the large hump of a back...He turns the pad paper to her and points at it with the back of the pen. ]

This? Bull? No? Nothing?

[clumsyblonde]

[She tilts her head, smiles a bit more, and reaches for the pen since she...sort of doesn't have another one on her. It's clear she doesn't recognize the drawing though.]
