[swordboning]

When: December 15th and on
Where: Right here where you need him. At least in the streets.
What: Golden Archers is sadly open. Come get your top tier food of choice.
Rating/Warning: Nah.


[Archer was fully cringing at the emblem Athena made and the fact that it was pasted on his apron. Well, inwardly at least. Athena got to have her way with the things went around here since she was the one who put in the money and most of the work. That meant her lame idea of what was great ended up plastering almost anything that had the surface for it.

But for a food stall, there was a serious lack of menu. Archer, though, intentionally wanted that. Restricting himself would only be admitting that he couldn't make things that people wanted outside of said menu. Obviously, there were some restrictions because supplies of some things were exceedingly rare or impossible to find. Which meant that rich people places had to be visited for that. But here were reasonable prices for fresh cooked food.]

Before you ask, there's no menu. So just tell me what you want.

[Customer service needed a little bit of work, however. And no, Saber, you weren't getting any free food.]

Comments

[spiritpearls]

[ Oh, look, this is interesting! Pearl will stroll on up, looking curious. What a nice emblem you have there. Surely this food stall is the height of cuisine in this city! ]

No menu? Um, then what do you have...?

[ Is she just supposed to guess at what you might have... She is basically asking for a verbal menu. ]

[swordboning]

What I have? Mostly whatever you want to eat. I'm not too restricted right now.

[Ingredients came on Athena's wallet so it's okay.]

[psycholawgy]

Pearly!

[ PEACE!! ]

Look at me, a chef's assistant! This is too good to be true!

[prosecutory]

[Normally Edgeworth doesn't do food stalls unless he was absolutely hungry and couldn't wait to get to the nearest decent restaurant. But the emblem catches his eye, as well as the sight of Archer, the guy who seemed to hold a vendetta against Shirou.]

I didn't know you were also in the food business. [His eyes flick toward the logo. Is that a sunflower?]

[swordboning]

You'll just have to be surprised then. Cooking is what I happen to be good at. Is there anything you want?

[He'll serve idiots, if he has to. Which he does. Of course, Edgeworth isn't an idiot but golly, does he had faith in all the wrong people.]

[psycholawgy]

[ After they get one customer, Athena starts crying. WHO CARES IF OTHER PEOPLE CAN SEE THEM. ]

ARCHER!! I can't believe it. [ She holds back a sob and probably grabs the end of Archer's apron to wipe her tears away. ] This is happening! It's real!

[swordboning]

Will you stop crying!? It's not like this is anything more than money spent and a reliance on what I can do.

[So frustrated and stop using his apron! This is an important tool of a cook!!!!]

[sugarcoats]

[Having just left his job at the arcades, Yogi is quite hungry, and has no hesitation about eating at a food stall that he's found at just the right time.

With a wave, he walks up to the stall, looking around curiously.]

Hello! I've never ordered without a menu before, but is there any chance you can do pancakes? Chocolate chip ones? Oh! Do you have powdered sugar? Actually, any kind of pancakes would be good! I won't be too picky.

[swordboning]

I have all of that. As a matter of fact, that kind of request is pretty simple so if you're holding back, I'd suggest not doing that.

[In case there was actually something he wanted that he was afraid of getting rejected over.]

[codere]

[ No. ] Archer.

[ THERE IS A SUDDEN NEGLECT ISSUE GOING ON HERE. ]

[swordboning]

Rin.

[Might as well answer in the way he was greeted. Though he does grace it with a shrug.]

[emotive]

[Oh my goodness, all this freedom of choice... It's not hard to tell that Ai is thinking very carefully about what she wants to order.]

Hmmm... Oh! I know!

Is a panini with tomatoes, mozzarella, and pesto doable?

[swordboning]

It's not surprising that, of all people, you know what you want.

[Not even a question from her. But hey, he can totally do that. And gives a nod, just to let her know.]

with a username like 'swordboning', i'm literally obligated to reply

[prehensible]

Oh. [ souza is, well, new enough to both this place and to being human in general that this takes him a little by surprise. but then, most things about this place are at least a little odd to him.

he's probably a little odd, himself, considering his colouring and his harmless appearance. if not for the unusual presence of a sheathed blade at his side, he'd look like a housewife out on errands. ]

Is that typical of food stalls, then..?

well when your body is almost literally made of swords....

[swordboning]

Typical? Hardly. But this was hardly my idea either. I just know how to make things and a certain someone decided to capitalize on that.

[That person being Athena. That and it was some kind of therapy. Or something or another. When you're bitter about nearly everything, those kinds of things tend to blur.]

[hoasen]

[You have to give her a moment because she's trying to peel her eyes away from that logo. Is...is that what Cerealites are into.]

O-oh? Oh! No menu! [Perfect distraction? So not only can he build weapons, he can cook too.] What is your favourite?

[swordboning]

I don't eat so I can't tell you what my favorite is.

[How rude. How does a cook make anything if he doesn't eat it?]

[offstrings]

[oh, Xion remembers him from when they'd first gotten here. it's a little surprising to see him running a food stall, but... hey, she's been meaning to try and expand her culinary knowledge. consider her interest piqued.]

Um... what would you recommend for someone who doesn't have a lot of experience with different foods?

[swordboning]

Mostly anything you've seen in the past that you've never had a chance to try. I can't exactly tell myself what you have or haven't had. But the best bet is to keep it simple.

[What can he say? All he's good at is swords and cooking. What a terrible life.]

[shacklebreaker]

[Blackquill's on his lunch break and looking for somewhere to eat, when he happens across Archer's stand. As always, his hawk is with him, because birds are totally appropriate to bring to work, right?]

Hmph... Did you really take my suggestion of feeding people swords so seriously? How high is the casualty rate thus far?

[JOKES THAT WILL NEVER BE FUNNY]

[swordboning]

That's exactly what I didn't do. It was more Athena's idea.

[Actually entirely her idea. This is what happens when you're great at cooking but someone is around trying to make you hate yourself less.]

[dishonorstudent]

[ That logo, though... ]

Y'know, I can honestly say that for once I'm glad you're friends with her. You really, really deserve... this.

[swordboning]

What, do you think I'm embarrassed?

[Crossing his arms.]

I knew what I was in for before I agreed to this. So, do you have an order?

[chemistratic]

[ no menu, eh. ]

Oooookay, I'd like a portobello mushroom burger, with a medium Orange Julius, and do you have any cotton candy? Please!

[ she's a really good tipper, at least? ]

[swordboning]

I don't have cotton candy because that requires a special machine. But you'll find one at the fair or carnival that they're holding.

I can do the rest but an orange julius is more of a brand name thing. Thankfully, I know how one is made.

[Dragging out some hamburger, at least. No sense in wasting time.]

[heiwana]

[ Here have another sword, Archer. Kousetsu is mildly interested in whatever...it is your doing. He's already tried some manners of intriguing foods here so he will stop to pause at take a look at your food stand. He probably draws attention just on his looks alone. A six foot tall blue haired man wearing intricate priestly garb is bound to catch people's eyes. Much like his pink haired brother whom Archer has already met. ]

...how does one know what to ask for then? [ He distinctly remembers the carnival having menus and a selection. Was that not part of the typical ways around here or what? ]

[swordboning]

People generally ask for what they want. I generally find that if a cook is restricted by a menu, he doesn't do as well of a job.

[No, he doesn't. It just seemed like a good line to use.]

[souredsweet]

[THAT'S sure one way to handle a food stand, isn't it... Kaoru looks a little surprised, but not too off-put by the whole new world of food options opened up.]

Ah? Aren't there any limitations...? Beyond what's sensible, of course. [Not gonna try ordering An Impossible Meal or anything! Kaoru's a good customer.]

[swordboning]

If I don't have the ingredients, I'll let you know. Otherwise, I try to keep all my options open. Besides, most things are made with simple base ingredients and I always work from scratch.

[Archer's terrible truth. Swords are great but cooking is awesome too.]

[carptricks]

[hang on there archer, this patron seems to be a bit more interested in something other than the food, if the way he's staring at that apron is any indication.]

. . . is that your face superimposed on a picture of an attorney's badge? 'Cause if it is, I don't get it.

[swordboning]

If you have any suggestions or complaints about that, I suggest you talk to Athena, the owner. I'm just the cook.

[And apparently the poster boy. But he had no shame or embarrassment about anything.]

[immobileyes]

[ She... so did not expect to see Archer there, and she wasn't even going to order, but one look at his face, and Mary... shrinks down a bit. ]

Maybe... your specialty?

[swordboning]

Is that what you want?

[Just to make sure. Don't be hiding, gal.]

[springful]

[For real Archer, what kind of service do you call this!! She'd be more put off by that if 1. she wasn't so used to this attitude already, and 2. she wasn't too busy being amused by the logo........]

What an... interesting apron you have for this. [How did someone even get something like that made tbh.] But as for the food, is there anything you'd prefer to make right now?

[Surely even without a menu there's a CHEF'S SPECIALTY or something right.]

[swordboning]

[Don't ask that because it's going to be something that Sakura has eaten made by Shirou a million times.]

I didn't make the apron. But if you're asking for a specialty, then I can make that.

[buildyourworld]

[ He's looking for something to eat after work and he's not really that choosy, as long as it's nutritious. Approaching the stall only to find no menu but a guy in an apron that even Setsuna wouldn't be caught dead in, he considers his option. ]

I'll like a serving of seafood aglio olio with a side of ceasar salad.

[ Who eat spaghetti with salad? Tieria apparently. ]

[swordboning]

[Welcome to Carrabbas. I mean...]

Do you want your salad first or have them served at the same time?

[Either way, working on the pasta comes first. Yes, he's hand-making it.]

[feytality]

....Well, that's one way to get attention. [BUT BEFORE SHE HARASSES ARCHER AND ATHENA... there's one simple thing that needs to be taken care of]

Your most delicious, juciest burger, chef! Let's see what you're made of!

[swordboning]

Would you like cheese on it?

[Getting out some hamburger meat.]

And call me Archer, not chef.

[invisibleair]

[ Saber couldn't turn down a free meal. Which is to say, she thinks she's getting a free meal here. She would usually be getting one at home, but since Archer isn't there who else is going to cook for her?! She could ask Shirou, but she didn't want to bother him if he and Sakura were busy... So that leaves Archer to feed the King. ]

Give me your best dish.

[ Because Saber still is the worst at just asking for what she wants, she would rather let Archer pick. ]

[swordboning]

Tea and rice is it then.

[SMIRKING.

Poor Saber.

But he pulls out some chicken despite his words.]
