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.

That can make life interesting huh!

[ D2 has several cats, though at least none of them talk this far. ]

It's my pleasure~ This is pretty fun. Also, it gives me another chance to hang out with you and be useful at the same time.

[Hakkai blinks, and then smiles, ducking his head slightly.]

I do appreciate the company. It's good to see you.

[ Watch it, or he'll ruffle his hair. He's very tempted. ]

Yeah, it's good to see you too.

[ Okay, so he can't resist. You know he's an idiot and it might be weird, but it's all a very fond gesture. ]
reformedsinner: (heavy sigh)

[No, D2, you don't understand: he ruffles other people's hair, and not vice versa. He blinks, then chuckles, ducking his head in a solemn mockery of a bow to make it easier to reach.]

Well, then!

[The laundry is set out; the basket is empty, and the scent of rich tomato sauce is beginning to waft from the temple to match the overpowering aroma of garlic.]

Shall we go in? I think it's getting close to dinner time.

[ Better get used to the thought, because it's likely to happen again at some point.

D2 picks up the empty basket to carry it inside. ]


I should actually probably not stick around for dinner, if I do I bet I'll be late for a tutoring session I have later.

[Hakkai falls in behind him, following him inside.]

Ah, well, in that case... I'll see you later, hm?

Would you like me to save you any? Chikusa is a good cook.

[personal profile] smilingbullet 2018-07-25 02:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, you definitely will.

[ He turns a raised eyebrow toward Hakkai. ]

I doubt that will be an easy feat.
reformedsinner: (genuine laughter)

If Chikusa wants me to take it easy, then he won't let Ken fight me for the leftovers, don't you think?

[He can take some advantage of this annoying attempt to wrap him in cotton wool for his own protection.

(Never mind, of course, the fact that he still is exhausted.)]

Hmmm, I guess you might be right about that.

[ Nobody's trying to wrap him in cotton. They're just a bit concerned. So what if that means that they're also annoying at the same time? ]
