Who: Saori and you
When: October 17th
Where: Outside of Yog-sothoth's temple, western district
What: Follow-up to curry giveaway post where Saori gives away extra curry she's made.
Warnings: None for now.

[Honestly, when Saori did start trying to replicate the curry Futaba described, she did start with small batches, but the closer she got her god's approval, the bigger the pots grew.

After posting that video, Saori got to work on moving some of those pots of curry to the front like she said she would. When these pots were empty, it wouldn't be hard to replace them.She just had to hope the temple didn't scare people away. Then she had a thought and rushed back into the kitchen, returning with several bowls, spoons, and a rice cooker.]

Right. Can't have curry without some starch.

[As she waited, she carefully tended to each pot. Each time a lid was lifted, it was like a curry aroma bomb went off. The spiciest curry had an added sting from the extra peppers, but Saori wasn't phased by it. In fact, she eventually made herself a bowl as she waited. Even though it was Japanese curry, there was still a hint of red to that dark brown curry roux that was only broken up by the potatoes and carrots. Apparently, she was the only one in the temple who could even eat it but there was no way she could eat that much by herself. Besides, food always tasted better when shared.]

[Since he didn't know how much he might be getting, Yamanbagiri opts to bring along two decently sized containers with him. One for mild, one for medium. As he walks, he thinks about the other inhabitants in Konohanasakuya's temple.

Hopefully, the others doesn't mind curry. He can probably pace himself if he need to finish it all by himself.

Based on the description he heard of Yog-sothoth's, Yamanbagiri eventually find the place he's looking for. And pause for a moment. That's... quite a temple. The closer he walks toward it, the more he feel... creep out by the experience?

... Note to self, look up Yog-sothoth later.

Anyway, he can see Saori at the front, as well as the pots. And once he's close enough, he can smell the aromas from the curries. With a blink, his steps quicken until he's right there, in front of Saori and the pots.]

Hello. I'm Yamanbagiri Kunihiro, and I've come for some curry.

[Finally, someone was here! She was starting to worry the temple's aura would scare off people.]

It's nice to meet you in person, Yamanbagiri-san. Now, what sort of curry are you looking for today? You're more than welcome to sample, of course.

[That uneasy feeling of his haven't left yet.]

I'd like to get mild and medium curry. [The safest options for him to bring back. But hm...] But I'd like to try some samples.

Of course. One moment, please.

[Luckily, the white plates had a solid stripe of color on them so identifying which one is which would be easy. She placed some rice on the plates before pouring a ladle's worth of the curry. Each sample had its own spoon provided and a glass of water is ready. Saori places the two on the table.]

Thank you for waiting. The mild curry is the plate with the green ring and the medium is the plate marked yellow. I hope it's to your liking.

Thank you.

[Picking up the mild curry plate, he pick up the spoon for the first scoop. Placing it into his mouth, he blinks.]

Mm... [Taking the spoon out, he looks up and give her a small smile.] It's good.

[Nephenee has been through a lot of crap. Two wars, losing a parent, and a few other things. Not much rattles her in many ways.

That temple? It manages to creep her the heck out. In fact, if she hadn't seen Saori near the front, she might have assumed it was the wrong place.

So, tugging the brim of her hat down, she slid on up to the front with her bunnies. After loosening their tethers, she walked up to the busy redhead.]

M-Miss Saori?

[Did she just see someone come in on bunny-powered sled?

Ah. Ma. Zing. She smiles.]

Ah, hello! It's nice to meet you in person, Nephenee. I'm glad you could make it. You know, I've never seen anyone who uses rabbits to get around like that before. Let me get them some water.

[She gets a bowl out and pours some water out of the carafe she brought along and places it on the ground for them to drink.]

[Giant-bunny-powered sled. With six bunnies of various colors. Said large lagomorphs crowd around the bowl and drink up as Nephenee rubs the back of her neck.]

Right pleasure to meet ya in person too, Miss Saori.

[Despite the surroundings, she smiles at the buns.]

Thank ya kindly. Ya know, it's funny, Ah was a different god before, and they came with the post. Even when Ah became Athena, they stuck around. Real glad, too, they're sweethearts. Sure bigger than ones back home, too.

Really? You were a different god before Athena? I didn't even think that was possible. They must be really loyal to you if they stuck with you through that.

[She pauses before she asks the ultimate question.]

...Also, is it alright if I pet them? They look so fluffy.

Ah didn't either. But Ah was Radegast before, an' when Ah got sent home an' brought back, Ah was Athena. No idea why.

[She wonders why and has thoughts about it, but won't go into that.]

But they were held onto by my shinki at the time, an' they were right friendly still. Guess they really are.

[One rabbit comes up to Saori at the mention of pets, and nudges her leg. Hello human you are to pet me.]

Yep, if they're alright with it. Sure seems Autumn is. Girls, ya want pets?

[The other buns look up at that, and hop over and more or less surround Saori. Hello, Saori, you are surrounded by giant bunnies. What do you do?

Nephenee can't help laughing out loud at that.]

Ah'd say that's a yes.

[Saori laughs and gets down to give the good buns some well-deserved pettings.]

Okay, okay! You'll all get a turn. They're so cute and strong.

[If she gets rabbit-piled, she's totally okay with it. ]
