Band 02 - All I do is eat and sleep and sing [Video]

[shounenphelps]

[Please pretend this was posted in the early morning of Friday May 6th]

Hello everyone! My name's Mouri Shin and I only recently took up residence at Larmline Apartments. I'd like to get to know my neighbours a little better, so I've prepared some treats, with my own special spin on some of them. Please feel free to drop by the main entrance and take anything from this spread. Don't worry, they'll all keep out in the open air just fine! Here, I'll show you the selection! [He takes the SFC in his hand and slowly moves it across the table he's set up.]

Edamame (Soybeans) boiled in rice vinegar

Wasabi Crunch - not just peas, but some cashews, peanuts, and shelled pistachios as well

Honey-Roasted Sweet Potatoes

A very plain style of sushi with only egg custard

Fresh cut celery, carrots, tomatoes, mushrooms, zucchini, and assorted peppers

For dipping, a cilantro sauce!

And two drink choices! A kind of Japanese tea I managed to find

Plus some strawberry lemonade


[Back to a smiling Shin] I apologize for the meagerness of it - I decided to put this together at the last minute, but please consider stopping by anyway! [Japanese humble-politeness, ladies & gentleman!]

[[OOC: If you'd like to start an Action thread with Shin, that's fine! You may also just assume that your character stopped by and is now responding with a video/text after the fact! I don't mind either way ^_^ ]]

[Kanda is admittedly more interested in the cooking process you have for those foods than the foods themselves, and is examining them through the meager video feed with a highly severe gaze.]

[It's a bit rude for him to ignore the host, but he's never been fond of pleasantries, and doesn't have anything to say anyway. He's not a neighbor, after all.]

Ah, hello there! Can I answer any questions for you?

WOW I DID NOT SEE THIS TAG

[toomanypetals.livejournal.com]

...That dipping sauce. What's it made of?

[Blunt, lmao.]

[Video] np~

[Hee~ He's used to your type Kanda ;) ]

Oh a lot of things, actually, let's see... largely it's cream cheese, tomato-based salsa, sour cream, and lime juice. After that it's a number of spices, uh... [he taps his chin, then counts on his hand] Garlic powder... pepper... cilantro... I think that's all I added, in my version.

[Blunt like a warhammer!]

...Tch. How boring.

[Heeeeeee...]

Quite an impressive spread you have there... Mouri, was it?

[VIDEO]

[shounenphelps.livejournal.com]

That's me, and thank you very much. You are?

[theshadowbehind.livejournal.com]

Kyouya Ootori. I'm one of your neighbors.

Funny, with all of the Japanese-heavy styles there, I see no fish.

[VIDEO]

[shounenphelps.livejournal.com]

Not a bad eye, Ootori-san.

The principle reason is that any meat or dairy products would quickly spoil, so I chose to focus on vegetables and the like. I'm also familiar enough with Western palates to know that our styles are quite dissonant to many people. In greeting neighbors from all over, I tried to select dishes that would appeal to a broader range of people.

[ Shin, I'm sure you remember this face when you first mentioned that you cooked.

... Because Usagi's totally drooling at all the delicious stuff that you've got set up for people to eat. ]

I want soooooooooooooome.

[video]

[shounenphelps.livejournal.com]

[He laughs for a bit]

I'll save a plate for you, Usagi-chan. Come by at your leisure.

[video]

[ourshininghope.livejournal.com]

You'll really save a plate for me?!

[ She's just so happy now. That and she's getting up so she can get ready to get some food! ]

[video]

[shounenphelps.livejournal.com]

Of course! I specifically made some simple dishes so that I could make enough for... oh, easily 50 people, maybe more.

[video] ---> [action]

[ourshininghope.livejournal.com]

You are just so awesome! Thank you so much! I'll be there in a little bit! I can't wait to try it!

[ With an excited wave, she turns off the SFC. But it isn't very long before she's skipping up to the Larmine apartments to get herself some delicious food! ]

[He's not one of the Larmline residents, so he disregards the food -- but the name means that Motochika switches on video and gives Shin a curious look.]

...Mouri?

[shounenphelps.livejournal.com]

[A new face!]

Yes sir, that's me.

[behisstrength.livejournal.com]

Does your family have any connections to the Chūgoku region?

video;

[shounenphelps.livejournal.com]

That's actually where I grew up, but... how would you know that?

video;

[behisstrength.livejournal.com]

Chūgoku is under the Mouri clan's rule.

[In his time, at least.]

You are modern. Yet if you bear that name and originate from their seat of power...

[action!]

*Free food! And it looked so delicious! Your friendly neighbour Faye is down there like a shot, making no effort to appear anything less than starving, piling bits and pieces of everything onto a plate*

Damn, this kid is good...

[action!]

[shounenphelps.livejournal.com]

[Oh look, it's Shuu's long lost sister. He's more than a little amused.]

Please don't forget to try one of the drinks - it should make everything taste that much better.

[action!]

[myfayevalentine.livejournal.com]

*Faye helped herself to a glass of the lemonade, and she sipped slowly*

Huh... Got anything stronger?

[action!]

[shounenphelps.livejournal.com]

Ah, you mean something alcoholic, right? I'm afraid not. Sake is a bit of an acquired taste for foreigners, I've discovered.

[action!]

[myfayevalentine.livejournal.com]

Hmm...

I could sure go some sake right now...

*She sidles up to him, still holding her plate full of food*

...you got any?
