Um...guys? Just a heads-up that All Passions will be temporarily closed for a little while. I'll still take orders and make things, but I won't physically be at the shop for a long time, not until I can be mobile again anyway. Sorry for that.

Buffy, looks like we're going to have to postpone the lake-date for a while, but how about you drop by House #10 for dinner sometime this week to make up for it?

...actually I think it might be okay if anybody who needed something made or just wanted to talk to me can drop by House #10 during the day, so there's that too. Such an inconvenience, sorry again.

Bah, who needs modesty, anyway? [With a smile, he takes a seat.]

[god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com]

Damn straight. If you're good then you're good and you need to acknowledge being good. To do otherwise would be to basically pretend to be a super hero and that would be arrogant!

[...Flawless logic, once more. Still, the foods there, there's plates to take it from, and now he takes a seat opposite them and promptly takes his pancakes and such. Still, like a proper Jap (for once) he does do a brief thank you for the food before, well, having it]

Dig on in, jeez.

[so_shik]

Okay fine, no modesty needed then. [serving herself some food then, although the flawless logic still is driving her crazy]

[herotypical]

And we wouldn't want to be arrogant, would be? [Mmm, pure sarcasm! Almost as delicious as this food she's now sampling after filling her plate.]

Hey--not at all bad.

[god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com]

[As for him, he made sure to secure at least some of the ham, despite it being for Buffy. Still, he pauses here... what to ask about first as he chews on some ham...]

[so_shik]

[chewchew] Huh. This isn't bad at all. Tastes great.

[herotypical]

[With her Slayer's appetite, she's wolfed down a good third of her plate already. Hey, she's been living of peanut-butter sandwiches back home.]

You're lucky, Shiki. If I were you, I'd expect this level of fine dining every night. [Cheeky grin!]

[god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com]

This is just pancakes and eggs. Jeez. Any idiot can make this stuff.

[And then with grunt, he's going to wolf down another pancake]

[so_shik]

Oh no believe me, I do expect it. [not eating as fast, but om nom nom]

[herotypical]

When I make pancakes? I tend to burn about seven out of ten of them. But those last three? Scrumptiously fluffy. But three pancakes does not a full breakfast make for a whole household.

[And she punctuates that with a hearty forkful. Yum.]

[god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com]

It's all a matter of when you flip them. [And then to hit up his eggs. OH I LOVE YOU SALT...]

[so_shik]

Maybe you could teach Buffy then if it's that simple. [keeps eating]

[herotypical]

[Making comical bug-eyes as if to say: okay, okay! You win. He's weird--I mean, look at that costume! Are you really trying to set me up for cooking lessons with him? Are you really that bent on revenge for the rebound thing? Right, so Buffy's eyes are very talkative. It's not her fault. Well, okay. Yes it is.]

[god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com]

[And there he glares a little there. He can seem to have read that, probably. I mean he's totally got a grip on this. Thing is his glare is at Shiki. Just 'cus]

[so_shik]

[glares back because hey, this is not my fault thanks :| continues eating them]

[herotypical]

[Oh look! A not-so-rare awkward silence! Might wanna break it, Buffy.]

Hmm. [She gestures lazily at Haruki with her fork.] So, satisfy my curiousity. What's with the get-up? Do you normally dress like a waiter from hell, or is this just for my benefit?

[god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com]

[...SMIRK. So she noticed!]

Well, I figure we have a guest, and Shiki told me to be a good host or something like that so I decided I oughta look the part.

[so_shik]

Sometimes you're way too literal. I meant be nice, not terrify her.

[herotypical]

Oh, I'm not terrified. Just...confused.

But the tail is a nice touch.

[god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com]

I know, right? Some weird punk who's actually a softie and might even be gay named Kanji made it for me.

[so_shik]

...Kanji is not gay. He's a nice guy who just likes sewing. He worked in the shop with me. [she knows that Haruki knows this, but that was mostly for Buffy's benefit]

[herotypical]

[She tries really hard to suppress her laughter Really, she does. Part of her strategy is to shove some more food into her mouth--which sort of works. Eventually, she responds.]

He knows how to sew? Handy.

[god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com]

[Haruki shrugs there and waves a gloved hand] How's him being gay make him stop being nice or something? Jeez. He was blushing all over when he was fitting me. I mean any idiot can sew.

[so_shik]

Now you're just exaggerating. [continues eating and just...ugh.]

[herotypical]

A costume enthusiast and an exaggerator? Haruki, your resume just keeps getting longer and longer.
