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. ]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

I'm sure you'll save me, curry master.

[ Ohh... A kitchen that looks used. How nice. Plain apron... Not as nice, but he doesn't comment on it. It's homely enough for him. The fact Goro trusts him with a knife is such a kind gesture? He chops up the carrots evenly, then debates on the potatoes. Curry usually has kind of large chunks? So he cuts it as so. ]

A miracle—I'm unharmed!

[ Huzzah. ]

[He bites the inside of his cheek, the smell of cooking beef filling the air as he looks over to inspect Akira's work.]

They're not bad, though a little big for my tastes. Don't worry about it.

[In they go!! As does several cups of water, Goro humming something softly under his breath.]

I usually read while it's stewing, but I don't think that's good host manners... [lord knows he'd like to be a good host!!] Is there anything you'd like to do, Akira?

[ Oh. Hm. Akira is ready to chop the potatoes in half some more, hoping to cater to the Akechi family taste, but he... just... Solemnly watches Goro dump them all into the pot?

Goodbye all chances to redeem himself. ]

Right. [ He considers asking Goro to read to him, but that might be too awkward? Hm. ] Maybe we can start on the first Dusk movie while we wait?

[Sorry, Akira... He really doesn't mind it, though, and his mom'll probably enjoy the larger pieces.]

We'll get about halfway through it, so... that isn't a bad idea. Go ahead and grab my laptop.

[Don't snoop around his room.]

I can watch the other half when I visit again.

[ You have so much faith in him... I definitely don't. Akira nods before heading to Goro's room without hesitation. While it's tempting to snoop around, he only retrieves the laptop.

He's not sure where to put the laptop though... The coffee table? The coffee table. ]

[-- Oh, this now nets him a second hangout at his place, oh, okay. Good job.

And look!! His trust was well-placed, Akira is a good boy. Goro beams at him, sitting down and setting up the laptop as he talks (lock screen is cats, background is flowers and scattered programs placed artistically across the resolution).]

I do think you'll like it, at least to poke fun at! I won't mind if you do. I know it's stupid movie. Well, a stupid everything, but... Like you said, everyone's allowed to have their bad fiction.

[...]

Please keep that a secret, by the way. While I'm sure my fans would adore me all the same, I have people in my life who would do nothing but tease me. I'd rather not deal with it.

[ He is a good boy when food is involved. Without another word, he sits on the sofa, back straight, staring intensely at the laptop. Hm... he expected something different as a lock screen and background, but he can't pinpoint what he had expected in the first place. It's hard. Maybe just more coffee? ]

Yeah. If it makes you feel better, I like reading bad fanfictiom from time to time. Maybe I'll link you some.

[ ... ]

That means only I can tease you, right?

[... He is not sure if he wants bad fanfiction recs, his face says as much.]

Um, yes. Though I'm not sure I could've stopped you from doing so in the first place.

[ What's the difference between Dusk and bad fanfiction?! He puffs out his cheeks once from the lukewarm reply, but ends up deflating back to a smile. ]

I'm not going to tease you that much.

[Nothing don't ever let him try to fool you otherwise--]

I don't mind as much if it's you, really. [Silver's is worse.] I just have to find something to tease you about in return.

[Maybe he'll genuinely enjoy Dusk outside of like, picking at it. A guy can dream. Let's pirate this shit no hesitation the fuck's a law.]

[ It's time to watch some pirated movies. Akira gets comfortable on the couch, making sure that he has a good angle of the screen. It's tiny... But at least he can listen?

... Uh. ]

Does the sun ever come out in this town?

[ First observation. ]

[Yeah, this... isn't the best thing, um, he's gonna hesitantly pull the laptop onto his lap the moment he gets tired of squinting a bit, he can deal with huddling. It's fine. He'll be fine.]

No, no it doesn't. But it's not as if it rains all the time either... it's just perpetual overcast. I think I'd die if I lived someplace like that; I really can't blame anyone for wanting to leave.

[ Akira quickly shuffles closer, huddled shoulder to shoulder, just so he can watch the movie without any issues. This is a lot better! But hm... He's sure if he lived here, he would be sleepy most of the time. ]

Sunlight has a positive effect on people's mood, so I can see why. [ Hmm. ] Edmund seems hard to approach.

[ how do you raise flag with vampire ]

[be their (blood) type]

He's good-looking -- or so we're told -- but his attitude would drive me off immediately. Jakob's is better by far... in the beginning.

[But he's discussed his issues passionately today.]

I like the rest of his family though. The Cullerds are pleasant people, for the most part.

[ bad peace bad

Akira definitely sees how Jakob is amicable, easier to engage with, and the better pick at the beginning. Hm. He's still not sold seriously on either boys (Akira why are you taking this seriously). After some time, they finally get to see the family. For the most part, Akira is lost in thought. ]

His family is so different. Maybe they sucked the life out of him.

[ Get it? But wow. His sister is so cute?! It makes him squint. It's about time to check on the curry now, but Akira is so settled next to Goro watching this hot garbage. ]

[Both his sisters are cute, though Ally is definitely the most adorable. Goro needs to check on the curry, but he... really wants to stay right here, too, even if he can come back to it.

... He can come back to it, he needs to make sure his cooking is Perfect. Take his laptop, Akira.]

It's more like he's stuck in perpetual teenage angst, though... I think he's reasonable in his coldness to others. After all, if you could read everyone's thoughts, wouldn't you keep a safe distance as well?

[Edmund's telepathy must be insanely useful during tests though.]

[ Akira takes the laptop, but he decides to pause it because it would be rude to continue without Goro. Setting it back onto the coffee table, he decides it's better to keep conversation than dive back into the world of Vampires and Werewolves. ]

Is it involuntary? I personally would never use it.

[ He rests and folds his arms on top of the sofa's backrest, making it a nice cradle for his head as he observes a wife making curry. ]

It is, from what I remember. I'm sure the fact that he can't hear Stella's thoughts is as much of a relief as it is terrifying, being so used to it in the first place.

[He stirs it, idly adding in some of his Secret Ingredient, and works it through the vegetable-beef mixture.]

... What sort of power would you like, if you had to choose? I mean, their powers evolve from knacks they had in life, Edmund had always been good at reading others and that translated to telepathy, but if you could choose, what would it be?

[ Akira hums as he thinks about it more. It seems like Edmund's fixation only grows with ever special snorflake trait Stella gains. It's not a bad plot device... But he is definitely not into this romance.

Love me for me, Edmund Cullerd— ]

What a curse. [ Fight on, ancient virgin. ] I think shapeshifting would be cool. What about you?

[ Though his first thought was definitely having a Persona. ]

[The worldbuilding is by far the more fascinating part of the Dusk saga, the romance is absolute horseshit.]

I'm not sure. Flying, I guess. Though I suppose your shapeshifting can cover that, can't it...

[... He has the thought to reveal the twist of Jakob's clan, that they're not actually werewolves, but decides against it. Oh, but that's in the next movie, isn't it, Akira's going to have to want to see the others before the plan around more movie days-- focus, Goro, there is a conversation going on and this doesn't need a constant mix anymore. Just every now and then to scrap off the bottom.]

Super speed seems useful, doesn't it? Maybe that. Then I could be anywhere and back again before you blinked.

[ Let him learn about the fake werewolves on his own, Goro Akechi. Akira's nose wrinkles to the homely and strong smell of curry. Almost instantly, he can feel his mouth starting to water. ]

It can. You can also turn into a cat and fit yourself into boxes. [ Living the dream, though Akira has more reasons to pick shapeshifting... He squints when the next comment comes. ] ... I also thought about super speed.

Maybe we should ask a vampire to turn us, so we can acquire these powers.

[ Joking. ]

[Maybe they're more on the same page than previously thought, or their tastes continue to lean the same way. Goro lugs out a rice cooker, laughing a little.]

We might not even need vampires for that, Akira. Who knows what Retrospec will do? Maybe we'll lose gravity and have to deal with that for the rest of our lives, while the rest of Recolle continues as if nothing's different.

[... Which is always unnerving, but you know what. That's fine.]

Besides, [and this is an Absolute Lie,] I'm not interested in getting bit.

[ He had some good comments about the chances that the gravity thing would happen to both of them at the same time, but the last line only provokes a very. flat and incredulous. stare. There are other adjectives we can also use here to address Akira's opinions on the matter of Goro's "interest" or lack thereof.

Unimpressed.

Unconvinced.

Doubtful.

The list can go on considering the English language and the creation of new words. He won't even say anything right now. Bask in the judgmental silence. ]

[... Goro's not sure if the silence is better than being called out, but considering it feels like one anyway he is Very Content not to yank his own noose by pressing more denials.

It doesn't stop the back of his neck heating up, of course. But he refuses to put his foot in the grave. He is extremely aware.]

You know, as far as our chosen powers go, we're not particularly creative! I'm sure there's more interesting ones to think up.

If I recall correctly...

[ SORRY. While Goro wants to forego the embarrassment and shame, Akira won't let this injustice go. This is really deceptive, Goro Akechi. You must pay the price! He props his head onto his hand so that he can ENUNCIATE and ARTICULATE well, making sure IT ECHOES in this apartment. ]

You looked simply enchanted when I threatened to bite you. The ends of your lips quirked up in anticipation and your eyes basically screamed mark me, Akira. Turn me into a vampire...!
