SOYOKAZE with takumi

[ Usually, Mizuki Sena would be the face of the restaurant in the typical mascot gear. Animal ears, animal tail, Japanese clothing... Doesn't look like it's only him today. Takumi is unfortunately dressed up in kemonomimi alongside his friend and pomeranian (Momo is dressed up, too), hanging outside of the restaurant and passing out flyers/pamphlets to promote their new menu items. Noodles. Udon. Zaru soba for the summer!

He's all smiles, expression bright and generally chipper. Even though his hair and eye color changed completely, he has to work. ]

Hello! SOYOKAZE is offering a 15% discount. Not only that, we have a shaved ice challenge available this month. Conquer the mountain and win one session of all-you-can-eat sushi. [ This is humiliating. ] If you have any questions, I'm here for you.

[ For a second, he flashes the bingo card on his phone, a sign that he's doing this dumb game to anyone that recognizes it. ]

Catmosphere Café with akira

[ The purrista is enjoying his day inside the building with all the cats. With ears on his head, he's working the siphons and brews with ease between taking orders. If you're outside, peering in with a curious look, he'll approach you to coax you in. If you're already here, he'll be taking your order. Either way, there is no escape from all the cats as they rub against your legs and pine for your attention. ]

May I have a mewment?

[ Yes. He went there. ]

Comments

[maskreant]

I guess it did.

[ Though Akira wasn't getting the brunt of that, but... It was slowing down their progress! Since their three towers are looking good, Akira will start on the walls... Well then. This will be quite the obstacle.

But he's a hobbyist. In a blink of an eye (okay, maybe hundreds of blinks), Akira has secured them ONE wall. ]

So... Barnes. Sorry that I dragged you into this. [ BELATEDLY. ] Also, are you fine with me building godzilla next to our castle?

[frostythehitman]

[ While Akira handles the walls, James goes into sculpting the towers into something a bit more refined--a more vertical tower than just a big pile of sand. He also gives some skull ornaments on the towers a shot, although he's not much of a sculptor himself, so it's uh. Not perfect. ]

Only if it's going to look good. The best apology you could give me is us actually winning this thing.

[maskreant]

There's no doubt we'll win. I don't think anyone in their right mind would turn down an Arabian Death Metal Palace.

[ Akira's on the second wall now, but only builds it halfway before he notices James giving the tower a better form. The accessories to it don't look perfect, but he admires the detail the other boy envisions. ]

Let's switch roles? I can work details.

[frostythehitman]

[ He's not sure why Akira suggests swapping positions, but he doesn't mind. ]

Yeah, okay. I can probably build up those walls and that moat faster than I can do all this sculpting, anyway.

[ He walks around their little complex of towers and starts building up the wall from where Akira left off. ]

[maskreant]

[ He thinks this should be definitely speed things up somehow? Either way, he works on the details of the towers they have, then the walls before adding some more sand to them for some more finishing touches—some incline stairs, what seems like some stray crocodiles near their moat? Some miniature sniper towers. Yes. Godzilla is just a giant pile of sand, but the general shape is there.

It's all coming together with their skull gate up and their myriad of miniature skulls to boot. ]

Good job. [ He thinks they did well!! ] Should we check out the competition?

[ He's confident he can finish up godzilla when they come back. ]

[frostythehitman]

[ When Akira poses the question, James takes a break to survey their work. Damn, they really got a lot done.

Satisfied with his inspection, he nods. ]

Only if we can taunt them while we're at it.

[maskreant]

What's friendly competition without some harmless taunts?

[ Akira will lead the way then, knowing the more serious sandcastle competitors are on this side. Stroking his chin, he notices how quickly they're trying to add more to their castles. ]

It looks like they're scrambling to make theirs as big as ours.

[frostythehitman]

Pfft, as if their sandcastles have the integrity to get to the same size as ours.

[ He says it loudly, making sure that the people building said sandcastle can clearly hear him. He honestly has no idea what he's talking about--what the hell is sandcastle integrity anyway?--but he plays it up like it's a real thing anyway. Gotta psych 'em out. ]
