[ As soon as he gets the location, he’s charging forward from wherever he was. He finds Rei in front of the Live House. Apparently, he was in the middle of...brunch...lunch... afternoon tea??? because his cheeks are full and there are crumbs still on his face. He quickly chews and swallows the contents in his mouth, brushing the debris off his face to stare at awe at establishment.]
Hah! Kiddo, you're gonna choke one of these days if you keep running and eating like that. [THINK OF YOUR BEAUTIFUL VOICE
Still, Rei opens the door for him. Like most of the buildings in Avalon, it's built around the pre-existing nature; a tree sprouts through one of the corners, branches growing out into the ceiling, and the room is shaped to accommodate the natural land formations around it. It has a light sort of charm, the sun pouring in through the windows and making for a bright atmosphere in the cafe space. A slightly-raised platform in another corner indicates the daytime live music section.
Rei's familiar is preening herself while perched on one of the many bird posts scattered around, and looks up with a chirp as they enter. Hello, boy.]
This is just the first floor. Stage is downstairs. I'd like to get albums to decorate the walls, too... so if you make one, let me know.
[Wow everything looks amazing! Crow likes that even if this is a new establishment, it still has pretty strong ties to Avalon with its nature fusion. The look will definitely cater to curious natives and appeal to the adventurers too.
Crow even admires the many bird posts here too. Onyx would like perching on of them! He gives a little wave to Rei's familiar. Was that bird always that big?!
Crow turns back to Rei as he mentions using different albums to decorate the walls. He has an album cover, but currently, he only has one copy of his precious band's CD.]
I need to figure out how to make more copies, and I'll be happy to give you. Do you have an area where artists can sell their CDs and merch, too?
[I mean you could simply set up a dusty ass table and no one would care too.]
I'm sorry to send this to you but I can't risk it!!!!
elev8or
In d elev8or was a Nurse & girl. Suddnly d elevator opens n dey saw a boy rushing 2wards dem bt d Nurse closed d elevator immed8ly. D girl sed Y u do dat? D Nurse sed I know him Hes 1 of our patients he died yesterday. We put red tags on dead patients wrists. D girl raised her wrist & asked Like dis?
The nurse screamed and ran to tell a doctor but the Dr didnt bleieve her. then the doctor died too bc she didnt bileve!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Send this 2 some1 else within 4 hours or u'll be cursed!!
[ Unfortunately, it's really cursed and Taichi being the world's most useless technomancer can tell but he can't do anything about it so he's mostly just screaming and forwarding. ]
[It's the 6th of July, summer has now properly arrived on the island of Avalon, and Hijikata is ready for his and Crow's middle birthday. He still finds it endearing how insistent Crow was on making up for Hijikata having ignored his own birthday back in May, and honestly, any reason to drink is a good one on a nice evening like this. He's looking forward to catching up with Crow, too - has it really been a month already since they dealt with those trows together?! When he sees him arrive he raises his arm to get his attention.]
We're lucky I got here in time to get us an outdoors seat. It's much too nice to sit inside!
[ Crow's glad they decided to meet up at night since the temperature is much more comfortable than during the day. Though it's still warm enough to enjoy a few cool drinks without feeling a chill. He spots Hijikata waving at him as he approaches, and the musician waves back enthusiastically before breaking into a brisk run.]
My bad, I had to make a stop on the way!
[Crow doesn't come empty-handed. Of course, he knows the samurai would tell him not to get him anything, but the redhead was still determined to make this a little special for the officer. He's proud to reveal this very unusual find, a chocolate mayonnaise cupcake with mayonnaise filling. He didn't think people were crazy enough to do this, but the world is weird like that. Still, the only thing that quickly came to mind was Hijikata's weird thing for mayo, and it horrified him to know people actually put the condiment into desserts! Still, if it makes the officer a little happy, then his mission is accomplished!]
Happy Two Months Late Super Belated Birthday!!!
[Crow finally takes a seat, stealing the menu to declare that, "Drinks are on me!" as he promised.]
What do you want to drink? Beer or sake? Or maybe you want the hard stuff?
[That's really kind of Crow... only that Hijikata doesn't realise that it's a mayonnaise cupcake right away. Still, it says a lot that he smiles for Crow despite not really liking sweet sugary treats all that much!]
Why, thank you. I'll ask them for a candle.
[If this is his little birthday cake, then he may as well make a wish!]
I'll start with sake, yeah. They've got a "summer solstice sake", whatever that is, I'll give that a try.
[While Crow studies the drinks menu Hijikata procures a small item from his pocket: a simple necklace in the form of a plan black leather band with a ruby pendant that's mostly left in its natural, somewhat rough shape.]
This is for Onyx. He wanted something crimson, right? Don't worry, you'll get something too, but only on your birthday!
Summer Solstice Sake? That sounds pretty good, actually!
[Crow was just going to go for a jug of beer, but sake sounds like it's a level up from beer. Somehow, he wants to prove to Hijikata that he can hold his liquor, even though it's not a competition. So when the server comes by, Crow requests two chilled Summer Solistic Sake. He also throws in the candle as well.
He looks up to see the officer present him with Onyx's gift. Oh yeah for the time that his familiar helped them out with crystals. Seeing the ruby, Crow automatically knows the yatagarasu will like it.]
This is perfect! He'll love it! Actually, he can thank you himself!
[ The hedgehog summons his familiar. The tri-pedal crow perches himself on the table as Crow shows him the necklace. He places it on the bird, and Onyx visibly puffs out his chest with pride.]
It seems he likes it.
[Onyx hops on the samurai's shoulder and he starts picking at the strands of Hijikata's hair as if trying to preen them. Crow chuckles a little at the show of affection.]
Yep! He likes it a lot! And I guess I'll be patient with my gift, but you didn't have to!
[Aw, Onyx really seems happy! Hijikata asked the jeweler to tie the band to the yatagarasu's approximate size so it won't get in his way while flying or perching on branches. He allows the grooming, even if it won't get his hair any neater. His own familiar, despite having a crow form too, would never be this affectionate with him... in fact Hijikata would be kind of spooked if he suddenly were. He laughs a little and runs a hand over the youkai's back.]
It suits you, Onyx.
[Already the server returns with their sake and a thin little candle, which he sticks into Hijikata's cupcake and lights.]
Do I make a wish now? Or should we leave it on for a while for ambience?
[The server smiles and ensures him that they'll provide them with lights for their table once it gets properly dark. After a few words of banter he leaves, and Hijikata raises his glass to Crow.]
[Onyx likes the petting enough to not fidget so much on Hijikata's shoulder as the server comes out with their sake and a candle. Now, this can be an official birthday cupcake!]
Huh? Ambience? Who cares about that, make a wish before the candle starts to melts! And you have to wish for something really good! Nothing lame like a new pair of socks!
[ Despite, Crow's age, he can really be a kid sometimes. Though he seems insistent on making sure Hijikata does the proper birthday ritual and blows out his candle. Though, he does pick up his own glass and participates in the samurai's cheers.]
To our Mid-Birthday! Kanpai!
[Making sure to clank his glass against the other man's for a proper salutation. He takes a sip from his drink before urging Hijikata to blow out his candle.]
[If Hijikata knew that..!! He'd fit right in with the band on a dinner night, cattle or not (though he might suspect Yaiba of being an S, purely because both of the chili-loving Okita siblings are)!]
Doesn't it?
[He's obviously happy with just his mayonnaise. For a moment he simply focuses on eating and drinking. He should go out with Crow more often, really.. on his own he'll still visit restaurants for proper sit-down meals, but food just tastes better in good company!]
I'm glad these multiverse hub worlds always tend to have cuisine from all over the place. Don't get me wrong, I'm not picky, but there's just nothing like a bowl of tempura or ramen or udon or simply rice!
[Crow thinks the best part about being in a band is going out to eat together. Good company definitely makes food taste better! He would definitely be up for another outing with Hijikata down the line!
At the remark, he has to agree. He's grateful they have the cuisine from back home, but he's been enjoying some of the western style meat dishes too. Meat pies are his new favorite thing.]
Oh yeah, you've been to another world besides this one, right? It seems like there's a lot of people here who were taken from their homes and ended up in a weird place before Camelot.
[ He wonders if that makes things easier to cope with in Avalon or was it even more infuriating that they're no closer to getting home?]
But yes, tempura, ramen, curry or onigiri, too! I'm glad that there are options and they taste pretty good too! I'm sure it could be a hit or miss!
[Hijikata would agree that meat pies are fantastic - small yet dense and filling, and ideal to eat on the go, almost like onigiri (just greasier)! He nods along to all the foods Crow lists, glad to have had their current tempura come out so tasty. Nonetheless his thoughts also drift back to Prismatica. It's been over half a year already since he last saw visited it...]
Avalon's a good world, on the whole. Sure, there are jackasses everywhere, but we've got everything we need, there's no war going on, no toxic environment or world-destroying monsters... I've heard some real horror stories.
[Things could be worse? Crow had considered that, but he's someone who has never really faced true atrocities, so he can't even fathom it. War, world-destroying monsters, or oppressive governments? Well, shit, it could be worse! Hearing from Hijikata that Avalon is a good world makes him really appreciative of being here.]
Yeah? I think we need to drink to that!
[ Time to refill their cups again. He raises his cup for a toast!]
[He's really starting to feel the buzz now... alas, if only his fellow knights wanted a community as much as him, but so far hasn't gotten to sit at the round table with anyone. Perhaps one day he'll find an equally enthusiastic fellow knight or be able to take a squire.]
