day by day [open]
Who: Tsuzuki Asato and you!
When: August 27 - 29
What: Bartending, adventures with baking, and meeting ghost puppies
Where: KINYOBI bar, Konohanasakuya-hime's temple and the Far Shore park!
Warnings: Really bad cooking? Otherwise this should be tame.
The Bartender's Nightmare - August 27, Kinyobi
[So it's a Saturday night, Tsuzuki's managed to help Gojyo get most of the place cleaned and organized, and it's just that time in late summer when the stores are full of fresh fruit and it's even mostly affordable.
Tsuzuki has plans. He's also got a book of gourmet fresh fruit cocktail recipes, and he's taken up camp behind the bar with a cheap blender, a shaker, a cutting board, eggs, rimming sugar (and salt) and an extremely hopeful expression.
There's a small chalkboard swinging where he's hung it next to the shelves behind the bar, reading:
Persimmon Fizz (persimmon, gin, lemon, egg white) Y800
The Hot & Sweet (Asian pear, ginger beer, bourbon) Y1000
Watermelon Martini (watermelon, vodka, lime juice) Y1200
Total Eclipse (blackberries, whiskey, lemon juice) Y1000
TASTING MENU -- Y500/glass -- Bartender will custom mix!!
Order at your own risk... or take the easy way out and get something more classic.]
Free Cookies, No Strings Attached - Aug 28 - Outside Konohanasakuya-hime's temple
[All the sign says, actually, is FREE COOKIES. It's neatly hand-calligraphed, with an arrow, and a really clumsy drawing of what might be either a cookie plate or a lopsided lotus seedhead (probably cookies; the little circles inside the big circle have spots inked on them.)
Follow the arrow, and the pleasant odor of baking chocolate-chip cookies wafting from an open door towards the back of Sakura's temple will guide you the rest of the way. Inside, Tsuzuki's waiting eagerly next to an oven, double-checking the timer on his phone, and waiting for a pretty plate of freshly baked chocolate chip cookies next to him to cool.
(Eater beware. He misread the amount of salt they called for, and added cinnamon, because he thought it would be good. A lot of cinnamon.)]
Petting Puppies in the Park - Aug 29 - Far Shore Park
[They don't have any pets around the temple, but it's okay; Tsuzuki's found it's not too long of a walk to get to the park in the Northwest district. Not nearly as long as the walk to get to the meeting hall, anyway, or the library.
He's started a habit of dropping by in the early afternoons with dog biscuits, because, he's found, the best thing about the park is that it's positively full of animals. Most of them are wild (although tanuki apparently like dog biscuits too) but there are some domestic spirits hanging around, and Tsuzuki's trying to coax a half-grown mutt closer bit by bit with cooing and treats.]
Here, puppy, puppy! C'mere....

....Why are you working here if you don't know how to make drinks, anyway...
no subject
[And the fancy drinks aren't exactly selling like hotcakes. Part of it's probably Tsuzuki's dubious mixology skills. Part of it's the regulars' taste, which isn't adventurous.]
no subject
[The regulars have the right idea.]
no subject
[QED.
... All right, maybe it's not the most solid logic, but does he need that much of a reason? It's fun, he paid for the fruit himself so the bar won't be out anything if the experiment's a flop, and he is learning.]
no subject
I guess it as good as any reason... [And with that, he just chugs the rest of the drink down. MIGHT AS WELL GET IT OVER WITH.] Although you'll want to practice on someone else instead of customers.
no subject
[He's sulking as he washes the blender, but after a moment, he glances dubiously at Chikusa. It's hard to keep up a good sulk for long; it gets boring.]
... So, any advice? Other than de-seeding and trimming off the rind first, I guess?
no subject
....You'll probably want to sieve it well. More juice.... Less mush. If I had to guess off the top of my head, anyway.
no subject
[Maybe that's just him, though. He produces a little notepad and starts jotting this down.]
Is the flavor okay?
no subject
....Try difference balances of the fruit and the alcohol. I don't care that there was a lot of it, but others might...
no subject
[He blinks. It'd seemed decently alcoholic to him -- okay, he could taste the alcohol, anyway, so maybe it's too much of that....]
no subject
no subject
[He laughs a little.]
Uh, thanks for telling me, I guess?
no subject
[And with that, he starts to shuffle off.... totally not having paid yet.]
[WHUPS]
no subject
Is he going to the bathroom? No, he's definitely headed for the front door--]
Hey! Wait! That's still 500 yen, punk!
no subject
Oh. You remembered....
[But nope. It's just a shitteen. Reluctantly, Chikusa starts to dig through his pockets.]
no subject
Brat.
[It's a mutter under his breath. Man, kids these days.]
no subject
[Any other arguments, you adult figure you?
