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.

Then maybe you'll be able to work something out with them. If they want to.

[Really, she's the last person to be expected to give good advice on something like this, she thinks. Why that is, she doesn't know, but it's a feeling that Ayumu can't shake. Still, she's pleased Goku asked her.]

Have you talked to Hakkai about this yet?
rockthemonkey: (Uh um uh ah!)

[Goku starts, suddenly looking sheepish as he's jolted out of whatever strange mood he was just in. He looks over at the others in the room, checking that they're still preoccupied with the film or with each other and that they weren't listening to him.]

... Nah, not really. I don't wanna worry him or anything.

[He'd come close to broaching the topic earlier, but in the end it was somehow easier not to. The last thing Goku wants is for anyone to be worrying about him. Hakkai in particular has enough to deal with already.]

Sorry, I dunno why I said all that. I've just been thinkin' a lot lately.

It's fine. I don't mind at all. I'm just not much of an expert on the subject. That's all.

[She's not much of an expert in anything beside lying, killing, cleaning, and cooking, really. At least, to her own knowledge. She tries to learn new things whenever she can but it's really hard doing it on her own.]

But if there's things on your mind, I'm always glad to listen.
