RAMEN LOG

Who: Naruto, Fuuka, Rock Lee, Mutsu, and you!
What: Ramen shop hijinks
When: Everyday!
Where: Ramen Shop "Dai Ichiban" - Shopping District
Warning: Shounen protag warning applies also Trigger Warning: Noodles.


[ A - closed to Rock Lee, Fuuka and Mutsunokami Yoshiyuki]
[ Those who knows Naruto and Rock Lee probably already knew that they worked at a ramen shop alongside several others. And since it's winter, business has been quite busy with the amount of people that frequents this place on a daily basis. Of course, there's the matter of the fact that there's a rival udon shop nearby and the rivalry between the two owners are just as bad as usual. Naturally this meant that the ramen shop currently is trying a new strategy:

Well, they would, if they actually have an idea, so right now they're just sitting there at the back of the store during the lull between afternoon and night: ]


Right, so we're all here today because of something important.

[ Naruto says with a tone that's clearly him trying to sound adult. ]

We gotta get more customers if we want to show that other old man up, and well, it's a good way to get to know each other too, so! I'm going to start by proposing we get ourselves a mascot!

[ ah. ]

[ B - OTA with Mutsu, Fuuka, Rock Lee and ??? ]
[ While the ideas they got from the earlier discussion haven't been exactly penned down yet, that doesn't mean business is stopping, as most of the workers here are doing their best to promote this shop!

There's Rock Lee, the ever paragon of youth who happened to be wearing a large sign over his jumpsuit which has an advertisement for the store on it. He will run up to people passing by and shout right at them, "PLEASE EAT HERE!" like. Right in your face. And with an enthusiastic smile to boot. And maybe some of the time it comes complete with a thumbs up too. Either ways, his loud yelling is definitely... attention grabbing.

Enthusiastic as always, Mutsu is passing out flyers advertising the new specials. He’s also making conversation with some of the people walking by, trying to reel them in with merchant charm. Who wouldn't say no to such a darling face as he tries to offer you such delicious items like strawberry ramen or ice cream ramen! You won't know until you try it after all! (Ha...)

And then there's Fuuka, lord knows she tries, but compared to the other two advertisers, she's a bit more quiet as she tries to coax the customers. Well, she does have a certain charm that these two loud man lacks, and she definitely is trying really hard right now to persuade one customer to try and eat the "Predator Ramen", which is um... Well, let's just say it's alien in nature and leave it at that, haha!

Though, the usual face of the group, a certain blonde haired ninja is missing. What's there in his place is... something waddling around the shopping district with a sign that clearly points to the ramen shop...

Yeah. ]

[Honestly, she stopped by mostly because the people advertising and working here, most of them she knew. So why not look around and give it a shot?

Also the giant noodle mascot is also in the way and blocking out half the pathway, so it's not like she has discovered an escape route yet (NOT THAT SHE'S GOING TO ESCAPE.]


What creative ramen...

[There is one catching her eye.]

What is this "Predator"?
adornmental: (incredible)

b!!

[personal profile] adornmental 2015-05-30 09:08 am (UTC)(link)
[WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE, LITERALLY. There's so much youthful screaming?! That poor girl looks like she accidentally tripped into a circus and hasn't found a way to escape yet. And then there's Mutsu. He's immune to merchant charm, but he'll take a flyer anyway, cautiously gazing out toward the waddling mascot at the same time. This is the noodle shop version of the Twilight Zone...

It doesn't get any better once he actually gives the paper a once-over, either.]


...The ice cream and strawberries are separate desserts and not flavors, yeah?

[ Guess who's back, back again. Yata's back, tell a friend—okay, the Eminem lyrics end here... He's a regular at the shop, so seeing them advertise is a refreshing change of pace. The energy is contagious, so Yata sends it right back at them with full force! ]

Yo, Lee! New guy! [ But when he gets to the next staff member, Yata falters and turns red. ] Hi, Ffffuuka-san... [ LOOKING AWAY. TIME TO GET THAT ENERGY BACK as he takes a seat. ] Woah, you guys are pretty busy today. Is it 'cause of the new menu?

[ He looks around. Someone's missing. ]

Where's Naruto?
reprizesal: (???)

[personal profile] reprizesal 2015-05-30 09:27 am (UTC)(link)
[Sorry, Mutsu, but Sayo noticed the loud human first because holy that's loud. He only notice his fellow sword next after he walked over to check what's going on. He accepted the flyer and looked at it.

Then looks up with a confused expression.
]

"Strawberry"?

[From how this flyer's designed... A ramen flavour? Isn't that kinda sweet?]

And what's Predator?
reprizesal: (Internal Affairs - Clothing)

[personal profile] reprizesal 2015-05-30 09:38 am (UTC)(link)
[Holy shit it talks. Sayo take a step back away from the mascot.]

...Most secret? [That doesn't sound reassuring at all!] Is there anything you can tell about it?
verified: (i could offer you a warm embrace)

[personal profile] verified 2015-05-30 09:38 am (UTC)(link)
[ today, fuuka is on waitress and dish duty due to the increase in customers thanks to all their advertising. wiping her hands on her apron, she arms herself with a pen and notepad before heading out to the main area of the shop. she thought she heard yata... ah. ]

Hello, Yata-san! [ sometimes, she still thinks it's a little weird that he calls her "fuuka-san" instead of just fuuka, but she's grown used to it. ]

Oh, Naruto-san is outside, in the ramen bowl suit.

[ it was... his idea. she clears her throat a little. ]

Um, what can we get you today?
rollin: by me (anime 12)

[personal profile] rollin 2015-05-30 09:40 am (UTC)(link)
[ Ah.

Ah.

Hm. ]


Nice suit.

[ He looks away, shoulders shaking as he tries to keep himself together. ]
verified: (so shiny and new)

[personal profile] verified 2015-05-30 09:41 am (UTC)(link)
[ with the straightest face: ]

It's a soup base made from the bone marrow extract of a predator.

[ nailed it. ]

... Um, it also has a very robust flavor?

[ maybe not. ]

[ Minako did tell herself she'd check this out after waiting for Fuuka last time. Guess that day everyone was a little too busy... but now they're busy at being loud and proud and advertising. She grabs a flyer from Mutsu and approaches the people she recognizes, namely Lee and Fuuka. ]

Hi guys! Looking sharp!
rollin: by me (annoyed | skateboard ban)

[personal profile] rollin 2015-05-30 09:46 am (UTC)(link)
[ They're not that close!? He'd gladly call her just "Yamagishi" but girls are so insistent with these names. Minako made him call her Minako too. He made the same honorific compromise. He doesn't look Fuuka directly in the eye, but it's enough to let her know he's still talking to her.

Why can't Naruto be on waiter duty instead!?

Yata stumbles over his words before he manages to say something coherent. ]


Oh, uh... Hm, what's the diff between curry and spicy sesame?

[ Which one's got the bigger kick? ]
verified: (no doubt in my mind)

[personal profile] verified 2015-05-30 09:53 am (UTC)(link)
[ he could if he wants to, ok. and to be honest, she wishes she wasn't on waitress duty because what even is social interaction???? but they're a little busier today and what the boss says is law, so.

determined not to let her shyness win again, she does her best to keep up her smile.
]

Well, with the curry ramen, the spice level can be adjusted from mild to hot and it also has a richer soup base. For the spicy sesame, the spice level is fixed and it's actually spicier than the curry ramen with a lighter soup base. So I'd recommend that one over the curry if you'd like something with more... um, kick?

[ that's the right term to use right... oh well. ]
rollin: (blush | 04)

[personal profile] rollin 2015-05-30 09:56 am (UTC)(link)
[ It's fine, Fuuka. You're always going to be doing better than Yata. ]

... Okay. I'll take that one. [ Because spicy things are MANLY also they don't have to talk longer. But— ] How'd you end up working here, anyway?

[ She's so quiet and shy? He never expected her to take on a job somewhere as noisy as this ramen shop. ]
verified: (we raise it up)

[personal profile] verified 2015-05-30 10:04 am (UTC)(link)
Okay!

[ she writes it down on her notepad and leaves briefly to hand the order to the cook on duty. she comes back with a glass of water for him along with some utensils. ]

When I got here, one of the jobs they recommended me was a dishwasher and it just so happened that this place was hiring, so I thought I'd take it. I'm also really terrible at cooking and I thought by working in a restaurant it might make it easier for me to pick up tips to improve myself... so here I am.

[ but ah, she said too much. he probably doesn't really care much about that. ]

A-Anyway, thank you for your order! I'll bring it out shortly.
adornmental: (not my aesthetic)

[personal profile] adornmental 2015-05-30 11:14 am (UTC)(link)
[He actually jumps a little once Naruto actually talks because he didn't know it would happen. Maybe ramen mascots just creepily stare!! He's no expert on futuristic marketing schemes.

But after recovering from that little jolt, it's time to focus on the Real Problem here.]


Did you just dump some ice cream into a bowl of noodles or something? There's no way you did that, right? [Please... mercy...]
psycholawgy: (smile even though you're faking)

[personal profile] psycholawgy 2015-05-30 01:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Ah... yes, well... with Lee being all up in her grill about eating here, she may as well???

She enters the shop curiously, not really having a lot of expectations of the place. ]


Hello?

[ Oh, and there's Naruto and Mutsu! Looks like it's not just Lee who she knows here, so she waves at them both. And may as well wave a hand at Fuuka, too. She might not know her yet, but there's no time like the present to meet a new friend! ]

[Food is something that is almost lost on this guy. Almost.

Growing up caring more for nutrition and energy rather than taste has left him not really knowing what "good" or "bad" food is, something he's been trying to correct over the years. The dish known as "ramen" was something his mentor has been telling him to try out when he gets the chance, but because of his work, that never really happened. Until now.

He hold the flyer, reading the new additions, and also wanting to see what the normal menu looked like. Though, the "predator" flavor seems interesting. Not to mention fitting for him.]


So, uhh, this last one. "Predator". What's in it?
sjokolade: (OAO)

[After her first failed attempt to use those infamous chopsticks, she wanted to prove herself this time around! This time, she will master it and properly eat those ramen noodles the right way! It just wouldn't be fair to eat them with a fork!

As she made her way toward the shop, she couldn't help but eye certain flyer before looking at the store.]


Uh...what kind of flavors are these suppose to be?

[Does she even dare to try it?]
niceguypose: (friendly)

[personal profile] niceguypose 2015-05-30 03:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[Rock Lee had been looking on in suspense and then looks so joyously proud that Vietnam considers it to be creative.

Then he nods with a confident smile as she asks about the Predator.]


Thank you, Vietnam-san! The Predator... That is the most mysterious flavor of them all! Please try it!!
niceguypose: (proud nice guy pose)

[personal profile] niceguypose 2015-05-30 03:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Hello, Yata-kun! [He says with a thumbs up.]

You've guessed correctly. You're very smart and a worthy comrade! However, Naruto-kun... has taken on a new form!
niceguypose: (surprise)

[personal profile] niceguypose 2015-05-30 03:21 pm (UTC)(link)
One strawberry, coming up! [Clearly he was making an order, right? Lee rushes off to fulfill it!]
rollin: by me (fan art 04)

[personal profile] rollin 2015-05-30 03:23 pm (UTC)(link)
What? [ Wait... ] Are you saying he evolved!?

[ He's read manga about ninjas transforming before. It's not impossible! ]
