John's First Appearance!
WHO: John, Ukyo Kuonji, Souji Tendou
Where: Nermia
When: 01/24
What: Souji and Ukyo were talking but when Souji left, an stray dog appears quite injuried.
What to Watch For: Nothing that I can think of.
OOC: Sorry for taking so long to post this, I wanted to get some John icons first. ^^;; Also John will need a tag, please.
Ukyo Kuonji never referred to her own cooking that way - it was an art, no question, and she had no doubt that Souji would find what he sought to taste in her cooking. "That's an interesting viewpoint," Ukyo grins, "Who taught you how to cook?" She doesn't have to say that she was impressed with the cooking entries he had done - mainly because she hadn't paid any attention to what anyone else was doing while she was working. Eggs fried, she flips the okonomiyaki with one spatula, scooping up the egg with the other to place it on top.
"My Grandmother and a special book written by a very old, very venerable, very wise Master Chef of the ancient schools of chooking," Souji replies. "Though my style is my own and I have praciticed it for many years. My sister is my chief critic and the one I try all of my recipes on first. Perhaps I should show you my skills sometime." He keeps watching, noting her every movement and her use of ingredients. He doesn't want to steal her technique, that's not like him, he just wants to compare and understand her way of the kitchen.
Good! Not that Ukyo isn't used to a little rivalry - like Shampoo, and no doubt, Jam. "How old is your sister?" Nosy thing isn't she? The smell of okonomiyaki cooking wafts through the room pleasantly, as Ukyo turns next to snag a plate. "Show me your skills? I have to admit, I do have a little professional curiosity. I'll have to take you up on that offer sometime." Spatula scoops up noodles, laying them out in a neat circle on the plate, followed by the okonomiyaki. "Where are you from?" He's not a Neriman, she knows that much.
Souji Tendou says, "My darling little sister Juka is 13." He pauses to listen to the rest of Ukyo's words. "I am from Tokyo, though not this Tokyo. Seven years ago in my Tokyo, a metero fell and destroyed Shibuya, I believe the gate to my world is labelled 'Kaiju-Ravaged Tokyo' though that is a rather narrow definition of my home and one not conducive to attracting tourists.""
Ukyo Kuonji says, "Boy you ain't just whistlin' Dixie," Ukyo comments, balancing the okonomiyaki-laden plate on one hand, as she fishes up a bottole of sauce to top off the meal. "Here you go~!" She sets the plate in front of Souji, accompanied by a pair of chopsticks and a glass of water. "A meteor destroyed Shibuya huh? Rough living there?""
Souji Tendou nod and examines the dish, inhaling it's odor before breaking his chopsticks (flawlessly) and testing the first bite. His expression remains neutral for a moment, then he nods. "This is very good, the flavors combine nicely to create a harmony of taste." He enjoys the dish for a good minute, savoring each bite, before answering Ukyo's question. "Sometimes it can be hard. The meteor brought things with it. That is why I wear the armor you saw before. I use it to protect the peace and the dreams of those who live in my world. I want to create a world where my sister will never frown."
Ukyo Kuonji offers no comment to the obvious telling of the taste; she has enough confidence in her cooking, after all. Still, she seems pleased that he's enjoying it. Moving to sit against the stool on her side of the grill, she leans on the counter, palm against cheek. "Things? What kind of things?" She pauses, "You mean like it's radioactive or something?" As for that last? Awwwwh. Ukyo can't help but smile, "That's a sweet sentiment. I'd probably be the same way if I had any sisters or brothers."
"They are called The Worm," Souji explains between bites, "Alien monsters that look much like a cross between a man and an insect. We are not sure where they came from other than space or why they came but we know what they do. They can copy humans perfectly, even their memories and they have come to kill and replace as many humans as they can with themselves. What they have planned after that, we do not know. I will stop them before they ever get that far. I will destroy all Worm.
Not exactly the best dinner conversation, but eh, it's something. "So if they can copy humans so perfectly, how do you tell the difference between a Worm impersonating a person, and the real thing?" She gestures with a hand, "Or can you not tell until they try and eat your brains or something?"
Souji Tendou says, "Even under medical scrutiny, you can't tell. The only way to know who is a Worm and who isn't is to wait for them to attack. They eventually always show their true nature." He continues to eat, enjoying the meal no matter the conversation. "They use their human forms as camoflage, to infiltrate human society but eventually, they have to attack. No one know why, they just do. Instinct probably.""
"Can't go against their nature, I guess." Ukyo muses, falling silent for a moment. "Hey-" she straightens, "Who's looking after your sister while you're here?" She'd be a little worried about -her- kid sibling in a situation like that. And considering the only other person he's mentioned was his grandmother..
Souji Tendou replies slowly. "She is in school. Juka is a very capable young woman." He smiles, "She has been taught well." He continues to eat, rather placidly, apparently his talkative streak is near it's end.
"Not much for talking are ya?" He's just a big ray of sunshine! Only not. Well! That was fine too. Still, this Juka was only thirteen - what could she do against some alien worm if it could impersonate her own brother and attack when her guard was down?
She shakes her head, "Well from your silence, I take it the food's to your liking?" She grins, getting to her feet again in order to start washing the dishes she'd collected earlier.
Souji Tendou nods. "It is quite good." It's too bad she doesn't know him better, she'd know that from him, this is high praise indeed. "You seem to be friends with another of the competitors. Tell me about Akane Tendo." No relation.
Ukyo Kuonji raises an eyebrow, "I'm not sure if 'friends' is a word I would use.." Occasionally friends, maybe. Rivals, definitely. Frienemies? Nah. Ukyo is clearly being silly. More often than not, she did consider Akane a friend. She'd be a lot happier if they weren't in love with the same person though. That friendship got in the way of their rivalry - though thankfully not the way Shampoo was rivals with her and Akane. "What do you want to know? I mean, really, it'd be better for you to talk to her yourself."
Souji Tendou nods and finishes his meal. "Then I will." He gets up, letting you keep the change from his 10,000 yen note (about 100.00 US) and slips his hands into his pockets before turning for the door. "Come to Bistro La Salle sometime, I will show you my cooking there."
Oo, Generous tipper! Ukyo likes that. She tucks the remaining money into a case beneath the counter, nodding, "Bistro La Salle huh?" That makes two restaurants she needs to check out; his and Jam's. "I'll do that. Take care Souji-san."
It seems like just moments before, he was trying to run and block the way for Hougen to pass through and catch up to Hiro and Reika and then the Gate was found. Once through the gate and through another, a rather large german shepard has found himself here. Growling and showing teeth to humans that dare to come close to the injuried dog. Even going as far as snapping at those humans.
Somehow, probably the smell of food attracted the dog to come to this place. He starts scracting at the door in attempts to open it, panting as his wounds were reopenning and bleeding.
And so out goes Souji and in comes... Aw, injured puppy. Ukyo pauses at the sound of scratching on her door. "What in the world..?" Puzzling this out, she puts off washing the dishes for a moment longer in favor of investigating this new development. "Hello?" A look down. Woa. Big dog. "Hey there boy.." Ukyo greets cautiously, slowly kneeling. "Aww, you're hurt, poor thing.
The dog goes to flat his ears against his skull and goes to start growling as Ukyo, lowering himself and raising his hackles. Great. He had to run into a human. He continues to growl at her but then raises himself to his full height, ignoring the pain throughout his body, raising his tail as well to make himself look even -bigger-.
He was scratching at her door! What did he think he'd run into? "Easy boy, I'm not going to hurt you. You look like you're pretty beaten up enough as it is." She frowns, "What -happened- to you?" Stray? Possibly, she didn't really see a collar. Getting to her feet, slowly, she backed away, "Let's see.."
The dog was not use to humans as he was an wild dog for 14 years. He is used to having other dogs around! He remains growling at her but relaxes a little as she backs away. No, there isn't a collar on him. Though he was starting to hurt... A lot so he goes to lie down where he was and just watches her.
One thing was for sure; she couldn't help him if he didn't trust her. Maybe she should call Animal Control? "Gosh, I hope he's not rabid." That thought made her uneasy - but since he calms down a bit when she backs away, perhaps that was unlikely. "I bet you're hungry, aren't you fella?" Ukyo ponders, "I'm pretty sure I have some.. aha!" Scraps! <3
He isn't rabid! John takes a small offensive to that. Yes, he can understand what she is saying. Don't you dare call Animal Control! His ears though perk forward and he goes to let out a bark. If she was watching him it would seem like he was saying. "Yes, I am hungry." Scarps are yummy~ <3
Aw, but he's injured! Well if he sticks around long enough she supposes she can try and bind his injuries again. Hoping he doesn't snap at her. Giving a small laugh at the bark, Ukyo glances at the dog again, "Okay Okay, I get the hint!" He's hungry. Soon enough she has scraps from leftover dinners - rice, okonomiyaki, fish, and a few pieces of meat. The plate is placed down on the floor near the corner of the room, and then Ukyo backs away again. "There you go, pup, enjoy." And she won't even bother him. No, she'll pretend he isn't even there, and wash the dishes while eyeing him every now and again.
