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....

Cookies! :O

[ There's a little girl peeking in the door of the kitchen, shyly peering around the doorframe. The scent had drawn her in before she'd seen the sign and now she blinks at the unfamiliar person in the kitchen. She gives him a bashful smile when he notices her. ]

Hi.
kokuyoyo: (And the cops are back.)

booze!

[Chikusa isn't particular sure he's pleased about what happened at Nari's little get together, when he'd.... set something off in Urashima. While Chikusa doesn't mind being something of a nuisance, or actively being petty, he's not the type to harass anyone. (Well, maybe Hibiki.) He's not the type to get pleasure from that kind of thing. In fact, it's actively uncomfortable sometimes.]

[His response to such situations is to turn around and leave. Thus, that's probably why he's drifting through the bar doors, shoulders hunched and his slouch has bad as ever. This hadn't been the kind of place he'd had in mind, but his original plan had been to stay at Nari's where all the food was. With Urashima being both his shinki and now upset, well... In the end, he'd never even gotten to the meat of the questions he'd wanted to talk about, either. How troublesome.]

[He's looking for Gojyo, hoping to get whatever is cheapest again just to pass the time, when he spots Tsuzuki and pauses.]


...Oh.... You work here...

[personal profile] kokuyoyo 2017-09-29 03:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Sure.

[Truly a reassuring answer. Chikusa suffers a little closer to get a better look at the new things gathered on the bar.]

So you're bartending this time.... The redhead didn't do those kinds of things.

[Those kinds of cocktails, he means. Then again, Chikusa hadn't inquired.]
kokuyoyo: (Woke up with a squirrel in my bed.)

[personal profile] kokuyoyo 2017-09-29 04:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[Reaching up, Chikusa adjusts his glasses.]

I'm a shinki. How would I know...?

[Well. Arriving in a middle school uniform has certainly given him a rough idea. Still, this guy doesn't need to know that. While he lets him ponder that question, he lingers near and slowly starts going over the list of cocktails and their prices. 1000 yen...]

[Tsuzuki's cheek slowly has his gaze drift over again, and he doesn't look impressed.]


...No one comes to a bar on their own for virgin.
kokuyoyo: (Tell him next time I'm going to be)

[personal profile] kokuyoyo 2017-09-29 05:35 pm (UTC)(link)
..I got whatever was cheapest last time... but...

[He leans forward a little, squinting at the menu.]

...These are pretty expensive for a drink.
kokuyoyo: (Please don't place wagers on my)

[personal profile] kokuyoyo 2017-09-29 07:48 pm (UTC)(link)
You should get them from a temple or something...

[There have to be plenty of temples that have fruit and things like that. Probably. Still, after a long moment of thought, Chikusa sighs a little.]

What's the tasting menu...?

[ She gives him a warm smile and comes out from behind the doorframe. ]

It's nice to meet you, Asato! I'm Nanako. Ah, or Nanshe, but you can just call me Nanako.
kokuyoyo: (Apparently I kept telling people I was)

[personal profile] kokuyoyo 2017-10-02 08:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[...This sounds like a questionable life choice, but still. Chikusa lets himself slump into a seat as he glances down at the various fruits.]

[...Rum is good. Apparently.]


...Sure. I guess I'll try it.

[ That gets a quiet giggle as she nods and steps inside, tucking her hands behind her back. ]

Is that alright? I saw your sign. but new recipes are always fun to try out! What did you make?
kokuyoyo: (At which point did I decide that it)

[personal profile] kokuyoyo 2017-10-03 10:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[...Nope, he's regretting it.]

Bit by bit, Chikusa narrows his eyes.]


Do you know anything about blending drinks...?

[Judging by the way Chikusa's mouth is all the more steadily becoming a line, the smile isn't doing its job. As someone who has spent some time in the kitchen, he has a fairly decent idea of what and what isn't going well.]

There's rind still in there...

[personal profile] welcome_home 2017-10-05 04:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Ooooh! [ She leans up on tiptoes to peer at the cookies curiously. She's never had this kind before. ] They look really yummy! Thank you!

[ She reaches out to carefully pluck one of the cookies nearest to her. ]
kokuyoyo: (Please don't place wagers on my)

[personal profile] kokuyoyo 2017-10-07 05:49 am (UTC)(link)
[Somehow, every new decision only seems to make this more regrettable. Amazing that Chikusa hasn't moved yet.]

Should you be caring about vitamins when this is a bar....

[There is some interest towards how much booze is going in there, however.]
