won't you try some? [open]

[chawanmeowshi]

Who: Jungo Torii (chawanmeowshi) & open
When: 2/1 (IC) / 7/8 (OOC)
Where: Chawanmushi, a nondescript building in the shopping district.
What: Where has Jungo been? What has Jungo been doing? Well, he’s been getting ready to open his unfortunate mash-up of a cat cafe, a chawanmushi restaurant, and a bathhouse. And now it’s open without any fanfare at all. Somehow, he ends up hiring two swordspeople to work for him in the process.
Rating/Warning: None

[They start showing up out of nowhere. You might find one in the shopping district, brushing against your leg or pinned to a pole somewhere. You might find one in your mailbox. There’s no real rhyme or reason to where they show up, mostly because they’re being distributed by a pair of demons and Jungo, but there are flyers advertising a new business. There’s just one problem.

Okay, there are several problems. There’s the font choice, there’s the fact that the flyer seems to be advertising cats and baths at the same time, there’s the fact that there’s no date, there’s also no address...it’s kind of a mess. But for those who brave the trial ahead of them and search out this new restaurant in the shopping district, they’ll find something decidedly unique hidden behind a door with no banner.

They’ll find a clean and simple restaurant with Jungo behind the counter. They’ll find cats (one real, the rest CyBuddy for now) playing and napping and watching anyone who comes in. They’ll find a door near the back that leads to two separate bathing areas (the photos in the bathing area are all wildlife themed—it’s not always cats, Jungo loves all animals).

Of course, given the fact that Jungo doesn’t advertise well at all, they might just walk past the nondescript door and decide to enter it for fun. Or they might catch Jungo walking in himself, or they might catch the scent of egg custard in the air and follow their stomachs. No matter the outcome, there’s one chef standing behind the counter, and...the entire place is likely (and unsurprisingly) empty.]

Welcome. It’s nice to see you.

[ooc; This is kind of an introduction to Jungo's establishment, named Chawanmushi (it's the easiest name to remember). This is more for one-on-one with Jungo, though if there's interest, I can do mingles here later. /o/;]

[This probably has something to do with that Jungo guy, doesn't it, is Naoki's first thought when he opens his mailbox to find one of the flyers. He stares at it for a while, notes the lack of...

...anything useful for finding it...

...but ah well. He's gone off of less before. SO OFF ON AN ADVENTURE. Luckily he knows the colony fairly well by now, with the amount of time he spends just walking around. So the nondescript door draws his eye in the shopping district with other shops much more obviously decorated.]

'Scuse meee-- [he's muttering half to himself as he pushes open the door and peers inside.]

[chawanmeowshi]

[Naoki is absolutely right. The flyers only make it into some mailboxes, though. There are big clawmarks on most of them because Cait Sith is never in a good mood. Neko Shogun is the one that's good at sucking up to authority.

He's in the middle of cleaning some vegetables at the sink when Naoki walks in, but his face lights up (as much as Jungo's face can) when he sees a friend peeking through the doors.]

Naoki! It's good to see you! Did you come all this way just to see my restaurant?

[]

[masakados]

[Some people are going to be grumpy about all those clawmarks... aw well. When he spies who he suspected he'd see, Naoki smiles and sidles inside properly, hands tucking in his pockets.]

So this really is yours... Yeah, I did.

[He'll just come further inside...]

[chawanmeowshi]

[Oh, now that Naoki is closer and in person...there's definitely something odd about him. He's glowing. The CyCats all flock after him, a few dancing around Naoki's feet.]

Mm. It was given to me. I hope everyone likes it.

[But now that he's staring...]

Um...I hope I'm not being rude, but has anyone ever told you that you look like a demon before?

[Because it's a lot easier to get that impression in person over the phone, though he makes one important addition.]

I think most demons don't wear pants, though.

[masakados]

[Naoki just stares back at him at first, stopping only to look down at the cats, leaning down to pat them. (Most demons probably don't wear shirts, either, yes he's wearing them don't let the icons fool you.)

And then he snorts, smiles and waves one of his hands lazily as he straightens up.]

I've seen a few with pants. Others with loincloths. But yeah, they do go without more often.

[He strolls further inside.] I've got a demon's body.

oh my god I'm so sorry, I assumed he was shirtless

[chawanmeowshi]

[Most people might take "I've got a demon's body" and assume that they're talking to a demon, but Jungo has seen some pretty fucked up things. Possessions. Monsters capable of destroying cities that are shaped like bowls or giant purple blobs. Cats that can also be sushi chefs.

So he takes it entirely at face value. Naoki is someone with a demon's body. That's it.]

Ohhh, I see. So you have a demon's body. [He nods, stepping out from behind the counter so there's less of an obstacle between them.] I've seen all sorts of demons. My friend Hiro even has a demon that's in love with him. There's a demon that really likes bellybuttons, too.

npnp

[masakados]

[--if only there'd been people like Jungo or others here back home, who had accepted that he only had a demon's body so quickly. And hadn't doubted his heart. A lot of things might've been different.

But Naoki's not dwelling on that. He recognises the name Hiro and smiles, folding his arms over his chest.]

I've seen lots of kinds, too. Skeletons on motorcycles or horses, skeleton monks, skeleton... [... he quirks a grin.] Lots besides skeletons, of course. Though, it was my first time seeing the ones you had with you last time.
