won't you take me

Who: The Li Tieguai clusterfuck
What: Well, we're out of a shitty haunted forest, who wants dinner?
When: November 16, evening
Where: Li Tieguai's Temple

Usually, when there's some big nonsense in Heaven, Chikusa can be found out cold or "away" in his own head for most of the following couple of days afterwards... but that apparently only counts for event which involve people. Spending an entire day trekking through a possessed forest filled with violent plant-life and cultists is manageable.... somehow.

No matter how exhausted or injured anyone in the temple is, food still has to be made, and Hakka is in no condition to make it. Thus, dinner is being arranged by the other cook in the house, and invitations have been sent out to the relevant people Chikusa thinks care- namely Nanako and Ayumu, along with anyone they seek to bring. That doesn't mean people checking in on the Li Tieguai temple can't just waltz right into the dinner as well....

There's a lot to do in the time leading up to dinner, after all, depending on when people show up (or, you know, realize there's smells coming from the kitchen). Bon, the resident enormous Tibetan Mastiff, demands attention in the form of bodily flinging himself at people. There's a goat in the garden, tied away from all the important medical herbs. At least four different nekomata wander in and out of the temple ground whenever they please, including Pookie, the most permanent resident, and never shut up.... Not to mention that a Kung-Fu movie has been put on the television for people to watch.

There's also a sign on all entrances to the kitchen that says: CHO HAKKAI IS NOT ALLOWED TO COOK. Presumably Chikusa put it up while making direct eye contact with him.

Either way, mess around until dinner, have dinner, crash in the living room where another kung-fu movie has been put on again... Have fun.

Oh, and before it can be forgotten.... The dinner menu for the night is fritto misto, meaty Amatriciana sauce with bucatini noodles, and all the garlic bread in the world apparently. For dessert? Cannoli again. That... might be all he knows how to make on the dessert front.

[ Sometime after the giant dog has settled down - probably falling asleep with Ken on the floor - the little girl on the other side of Ayumu is valiantly trying to fight off the sleepy yawns that keep coming more and more insistently as the kung-fu movie plays.

She's totally not sleepy, though. And it's totally not way past her bedtime. At all. Nope. ]

[Ayumu notices those yawns coming from Nanako and hides a smile. It is getting pretty late, isn't it? She should probably think about getting back to Lavi's and Cardia's herself. It'd be pretty rude to disturb their rest by coming back late.

And she's sure it's well past a little girl's bedtime. Does no one know how to take proper care of a child in this place? So she leans over to whisper in Nanako's ear, giving in to a small smile.]


What time do you usually go to bed?

[ That's enough to snap her back into pretending that none of that just happened.

She shoots Ayumu and innocent-looking smile. ]


It's not time yet!

[ She's a goddess. They don't have mandatory bedtimes. Right? Right. ]
kagenonadeshiko: (watching over you)

[Nanako might be a goddess but she's a little girl, too! Ayumu will humor her a little, at least, however.]

So when is your bedtime? If you get tired, I doubt Hakkai would mind if you slept over in a spare room.

[Are her shinki around? She doesn't know a whole lot about Nanako's situation. Clearly, she needs to fix this problem.]

[ Nanako just giggles and glances over at her sideways. ]

Mmmm. When the movie's over, probably. And it's okay, my temple isn't far. And I'm really good at teleporting now! Even if I am sleepy.

[ Although if not, she often has shinki more than willing to tote their sleepy goddess back to the temple on foot without too much grumbling. ]

If you're sure.

[Ayumu's a little worried about anyone using any sort of magic when sleepy but then again, she doesn't really understand magic very well to begin with. Still, it's hard not to indulge a cute little girl like Nanako a little bit.]

So what do you think of the movie? Are you enjoying it?
