[closed] it's not a nutritional dinner
Who: Chikusa, Ken, and all the people invited to Hakkai's temple
When: October 12
Where: Li Tieugai's temple in the Central District
What: Having recently lost their other god, Ken is sad by yet another loss.... so Chikusa is fixing this with his dog's favorite things: people he likes and copious amounts of meat.
Unless people actually ask, Chikusa.... doesn't exactly tell what time the dinner is actually going to be at. At least he'll probably tell them that Hakkai's temple moved? One would hope.
The temple of Iron Crutch Li doesn't really seem all that impressive upon approaching it, despite being in the Central District. The walled gardens are certainly large and lovely enough, if a little wild, but the building itself is rather plain at its two stories. There's a small sign attached to the front door that simply says 'come in'. Chikusa isn't going to bother answering the door for visitors. It's not like Hakkai locks that thing anyway.
The inside of the temple is about as sparsely decorated as its outside, but, today, the overwhelming smell wafting from the kitchen has overtaken any medicinal smells that might normally be about. It adds a certain warmth to the room.
Until dinner will be served a little later into the night, people are free to do whatever- hang about the gardens, go bother Chikusa in the kitchen, or otherwise find the other residents of the temple. Chikusa won't care to stop anyone, although Hakkai might.
As for dinner? Chikusa is serving so much meat: rabbit stew with olives and rosemary, swordfish, curried chicken, veal marsala, and a more traditional spaghetti served with meatballs. Fortunately, at least there's garlic bread and stuffed mushrooms, so there's something that isn't meat.... And for dessert? Zeppole, cannoli, and an apple ciambella with almond cream.

Does that mean you know kung fu?
no subject
Perhaps I should try my skills and see!
But previously, I only had a self-taught qi gong hobby.

[He sits forward again, picking out the videocasette and sliding it in, staying by the VCR to fiddle with the fast-forward buttons. The VCR might once have had a remote, but by the time Hakkai had purchased it, that was long missing.]
All of the practice certainly did help me learn to use my chi later!

Do you have trouble with them?
[He's paused the video on the title screen to ask that, distracted from the movie by his own curiosity.]

Borderlines can rip things apart, too. And without getting blight on yourself...

[He leans back against the couch, letting out a breath as he watches Ken.]
But that's what your vessel form is good for, isn't it?

[The corners of his eyes crinkle in a secret smile, though he keeps his tone bland. A small dog is far from the most helpless shinki form Hakkai's ever heard of, and, at least, both Ken and Chikusa can move under their own power. Neither is particularly threatening in their other form, but they have their independence.
In a way.]

You were probably a really tacky scarf, byon.
no subject
But that's its own aesthetic, isn't it?
[In this case, the aesthetic is, "Shinki named while blighted half to death," but there's no need to go into details there.]
no subject
[Ken may not know what an aesthetic is.]
no subject
Fashion is very strange, Ken. It's probably better not to worry about it.
no subject
And it wouldn't be aesthetic if it was your vessel form, right? 'Cause you didn't do it on purpose.
no subject
I suppose it wasn't exactly an aesthetic, then!
Although it also didn't last very long, so I suppose it's not too relevant.
