Replying here because lj has the paid icons...wren_chanAugust 9 2012, 22:26:10 UTC
Well, as long as you're alright with serving a minor, Bartender-san... I could do with some strong coffee with a shot of something even stronger in it. Let me pull up those stools for you.

*deeply unimpressed look* If you're going to give me fake stuff, at least use the real caffinated coffee, please.
As for being out late ... *eyes the crowd, smirks tiredly, and years drop onto his face, as if he's seventy rather than seven and the only thing that makes him look like a child is that he's short* ...I needed a place the dead won't find me.

::starts making the coffee:: Yeah, well, let's get some food in you too, huh? Serial killers. ::shakes head:: Man. Only friend I've got who does that regularly *has* to take time off every 18 months. You gonna take some time after this, get a little rest and recuperation?
Re: Replying here because lj has the paid icons...wren_chanAugust 10 2012, 03:06:19 UTC
Some of those fried onions I smell would help a lot. Anything with a strong scent that isn't meat, please. *and there's just a shade too much accent on the 'please'*
*sad smile* This is actually supposed to BE my vacation, worse luck. My usual stomping grounds are in Tokyo, but ... There was a case. Not quite as messy, but more dramatic. So my parents drafted my best friend to pack me in his suitcase and take me to the kendo tournament that's going tomorrow.
Re: Replying here because lj has the paid icons...gryphonrhiAugust 10 2012, 03:23:32 UTC
Yeah, absolutely. ::puts some more onion petals in, digs around:: How about a cheese and tomato sandwich to go with it?
Ah, man. You done now, or is there more trouble at the kendo tournament tomorrow, 'cause I know one of the judges if he needs to be watching for trouble...?
Re: Replying here because lj has the paid icons...wren_chanAugust 10 2012, 03:31:50 UTC
Sounds wonderful. Heavy on the cheese, I need the protein.
...I got the case sewed up, I'm pretty sure, but Hattori and I are such trouble magnets you'd probably better give that friend of yours the heads-up anyway. Last time I went to one of Hattori's tournaments, some guy murdered his teammate in the showers and Hattori had to go up against a full on katana with nothing but a saya and his cell phone. He won, of course, but that was hairy to come in on.

Out hunting serial killers at your age? Damn right you do. ::starts layering the sandwich, gouda, tomato, havarti:: Mustard okay? ::looks around:: I got onion, pickles if you're feeling British, capers -- what the hell have I got *spinach* for? What the hell, what sounds good on your sandwich?
...Yeah. I'll just warn Duncan to watch everything like a hawk. Including making sure everyone makes it *out* to the matches.
Re: Replying here because lj has the paid icons...wren_chanAugust 10 2012, 03:50:35 UTC
*grins* Mustard is more than okay, pile on the onion and give me the pickles on top of the spinach and we'll call it a side salad.
Probably wisest. *communes with the coffee* Old rivalries and concealment of hazing are good to look for, too. And then there was the guy who decided that because his son died in a traffic accident on his way home from baseball practice, he was going to blow up Koushien stadium during the high school nationals... sports brings out the really weird ones.

*lights up* Gatorade, thanks. I still need the electrolytes and energy drinks are really different in Japan. *eats with great rapidity, though very neatly*
It's ... the little personal things that get lost in the rivalries, somehow. Big things at least get trumpeted in the media, but the little personal hurts get ignored and fester until they finally explode, and then somebody dies.

(Whoops, forgot and left on the default icon and didn't edit it in time. Oh well.) Not a problem, I like grape. And not everyone has lemon.
Yeah. *sighs* If I had a yen for every time a victim killed their blackmailer instead of just going to the damn police... I'd be able to put myself through college on my own dime.

Thanks for stool, buddy. You doing okay? Little late for you to be out, isn't it? ::grins:: Or are you a night owl like the rest of us?

There aren't any actual zombies, but I just got done hunting a serial killer. This is to keep me awake 'til my friends hunt me down to drag home.

Yeah. Some of the prime nutjobs show up over the big rivalries, don't they?

Oh, yeah. It's the little things that snowball, yeah. ::sighs:: Idiots. If they'd get a sense of proportion, they'd do better.
