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.

He keeps saying he's not really Gojyo, just some guy shoved in his body or something. Which is stupid, byon. Kakipi and I hated sleeping in beds way before we remembered why. Just 'cause we don't have the same memories we did when we're alive doesn't mean we stopped being the same people. We just don't remember what made us the people we are, byon.

But he's still Gojyo. That's his name!

[There's some monkey logic in there, somewhere. Goku honestly looks bothered the more he thinks about it. Stupid Gojyo. He nods along with what Ken says, still thinking how stupid Gojyo is.]

When I forgot everything else, I still knew I was called Goku. So I was Goku before and Goku after. Anything else would be stupid.

I dunno. He's really stupid, byon. [Ken and Goku are in full agreement on this.]
rockthemonkey: (This sucks.)

You just gotta punch him or kick him or something when he's being stupid. That's what we always do.

[Gojyo's friends all admire him and love him unconditionally and they're always 100% ready to beat the crap out of him at a moment's notice. Because that's what friends are for.]

I did that already, byon! [Ken looks pleased to have accidentally found the correct solution already.] I bit him!

[Ken...]
rockthemonkey: (Running away!)

Ah, biting's a foul!

[There are rules to rough-housing, Ken. Biting, scratching and pulling hair are all red cards. That said...]

But if he was being really stupid, it's probably okay.
junkyarddog: (You could never wear my crown)

Well, I like biting, byon. [Ken huffs.] And it's not a foul, 'cause he could bite me back if he wants. And it's not my fault my teeth are sharper than everyone else's!

He was being really stupid, though. He thinks Hakkai-sama wants Gojyo, and that he's not really Gojyo. But whoever the hell Gojyo thinks he is now that's different from who the real Gojyo is, Hakkai-sama knows what he's like now and he still likes him anyway, so he obviously likes the new Gojyo, too, not just the old one. [The name 'Gojyo' is rapidly losing its meaning to Ken, saying it so many times in succession.] But he's all hung up on not being the right person or something, instead of just being whoever the hell is now...and instead of seeing that whoever he is, Hakkai-sama likes that person just fine.

[He huffs.] Anyway, Kakipi and I got some of our memories back, and the way I was before my memories came back matches what I remember being like. So I know us shinki are still the same people we used to be, byon. Gojyo's just hanging on to some dumb idea he came up with that doesn't even make sense.
