estoria | [OPEN] Ăn Ăn Ăn

Who: Ai Thao (

emotive) & Vietnam (

hoasen) + EVERYONE NEW AND OLD. IT'S A MINGLE POST.
When: Backdated | OOC: 11/16, IC: 4/7, late at night
Where: The Sanctuary
What: Vietnam and Ai Thao decide to welcome new and old alike to the colony by making and distributing delicious foods from their country.
Rating/Warning: Food, food, and more food (and cheesy Vietnamese music?)

[The Sanctuary, being a CERES-free zone, is the first place Ai and Vietnam thought of in order to host this party. It's taken them all day and Ai was also part of the ViViD session before going to help Vietnam, so now it's quite late at night. After a long and most likely tiresome session of ViViD, anyone who's on their way back to their living quarters may notice a tantalizing aroma wafting from the Sanctuary; it's a combination of savory, meaty scents, plus... coffee? The lighting is strange too as if it's too bright, but too dim at the same time. Also this weird music is playing.

Go inside, and you'll see cooking equipment set up with Vietnam at the ready while Ai scurries about, setting up proper seating with utensils and napkins (weird, a lot of those aforementioned items are floating in the air and moving about on their own since Ai's hands are full). What's on the menu you ask? The handy sandwich board sign set up near the entrance tells you:]

[Ai is the one who pauses to greet anyone coming inside, newbies and regulars of Cerealia alike.]

Welcome! Please, help yourself! There's no charge and plenty to go around!

If you have a question about the food, you can ask me or Miss Sen!

[OOC: You can start your own top-levels and tagging around is encouraged especially since the Sanctuary as noted, is a CERES free zone, so characters can use this opportunity to relax, but also talk plot if they so wish! Or just meet new people and wonder what the hell is a grass jelly.]

[ he sees that pho. ]

You should eat it with more vegetables.

[He sees someone being annoying.]

You should keep your suggestions to yourself.

[ too bad this guy doesn't know when to shut up. ]

You're insulting the girls who cooked the food, Saruhiko.

How would you know, Misaki? Did you work up the courage to say more than two words to them and ask them how they felt?

[ he points a thumb to his chest. ]

I know what it's like to cook!

[ this is the smartest answer ever. ]

[Why is he really dumb for real.]

Is that the reason you practically begged me to show up here, Misaki? So you could stand around and talk about food?

[ no u. ]

I didn't beg you to come, asshole!

[ he basically threatened you! gosh, those are two different things!!! ]

[Begging, threatening, whatever. Worst dinner date ever.]

Have you learned anything useful yet?

[ THIS ISN'T A DATE, GOSH. ]

Some people were saying we were here before.

[They're talking to each other, it's close enough. This is news, though. Fushimi would certainly remember having been in this type of situation before.]

You're going to have to explain more than that. How is it that "some people" are telling you this? Can they prove it?

[ yeah, close enough... you're right. it's a ~*~deito~*~ /// ]

I didn't ask for proof. . . [ good job, yata. but to be fair, they were women, so he couldn't... talk... much. . . cries. ] But they seemed to know me well, so.

Anyone could have you figured out in the first five minutes of knowing you.

[Still, if people could supposedly have been here and then vanished, only to reappear again... It's possible, of course, but that doesn't make it any easier to process.]

You can't just leave it hanging at that. If either of us were here before, just how well exactly did other people know you, or me? How much did we learn then forget?

[He scowls.] I'm not sure how credible this is in the first place, but being here before, forgetting... how much useful information do we have to learn all over again?

[ fucking hell, saruhiko. don't be rude when yata's trying to be nice as fuck and is even giving you information!!! ]

They said I was working at the flower shop with Vietnam and some others, like Celty. [ there's a bit of familiarity in his tone, but he really doesn't know either of them at all. he's just learned to believe in their words. ] I guess I'll have to ask them some more stuff.

[ about himself, anyway... celty did say that fushimi was only here for a short while. ]

And why? How much have you learned now, anyway?

[ you better share. ]

[A... flower shop. He can't help the grimace that comes to his face. Whether or not it was "this" Yata or not, that's completely ridiculous. It makes him angry, too. Just settling in like that... Did the other one even try to get back home at all? Plus, that familiar tone, like they were actually friends, or like he knows these people at all.]

You guess? If they know things, how could you not want to find out as much as possible? Are you even going to try, here?

[He scoffs, fingers digging into the edge of the table.] It's different for me. I've been trying to learn actual facts.

[ DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO TALK TO WOMEN, FUSHIMI SARUHIKO? DO YOU? that's why it's "I GUESS". ]

I'm going to, asshole. It'll just take some time.

[ a beat. ]

And I won't ask again. What did you find out?

Everything that's worth learning is going to take time, here. That doesn't make it alright to just slack off and do whatever. [Will he ever say anything without sounding like a horribly rude person??

But really, he doesn't want Yata going off and doing anything stupid based on half-formed ideas and information he hasn't been able to verify as true. It's not going to be on him if Yata goes off and gets himself in over his head with anything.]

Not nearly enough. Since I want more than possibly made up facts it's going to take longer than a day to learn things that are actually useful.

[ it's yata's turn to click his tongue. so rude, saruhiko. but that's okay, yata can be rude right in front of you, too. ]

And you'll tell me if you figure something out, right?

[ does the truce still apply while they're here in cerealia? yata seems to think so. ]

[He really doesn't give a damn about any sort of truce, honestly. It's just that Yata is the only person here that he can even remotely sort of trust. It's galling, but that doesn't make it any less true.]

If it's important, you'll know.

[ o- oh... he wasn't expecting that, truth be told.

his cheeks flush pink. ]

Tha- Thanks.

[Nope, he doesn't want to be thanked for anything, get that nonsense out of here. He clicks his tongue, shifting so that he can rest an arm on the table lean his head on one hand. Mostly he wants to avoid looking at Yata.]

Don't act like it means anything. Sharing information... even an idiot might be able to come up with an idea of their own every now and then.

[ it does mean something - it means everything. who knows, being in this place might bring them together again? MAYBE FUSHIMI MIGHT SEE THE LIGHT????? ]

I'm looking forward to it, Saruhiko!

[Oh my god no, don't do that. He just hunches his shoulders and clicks his tongue again, louder this time.]

Moron.

[ jeez... so difficult. he looks away, fine!! YOU DON'T WANT HIS FEELINGS, OK. ]

A- Anyway, I'm going to talk to the others. I'll see you around.

[Sigh!! He tilts his head to look at Yata now.]

Misaki.

[ he looks back at fushimi, honestly a bit startled that he's being called back? ]

Yeah?
