It was a bit of a lazy morning for Sirius, and as a result, he had missed breakfast. Not having a lot on his plate (literally and otherwise!), he decided to take a bit of a stroll on down to the Great Hall in the hopes that the house-elves had left out some food.
As he passed the table with the rice balls, he stopped and stared at the sign for a moment. Then, looking up at Kyo, he said, "Hey, mate. I'm a bit confused by your sign. First off, I haven't a clue what or who an on-nigg-urr-ee is. Second, I don't understand why it wouldn't be free to bribe it. Usually, one doesn't have to pay for the privilege of bribing someone - just for the bribe itself. Mind if I have one of these riceballs, though? I'm terribly hungry."
"Oh, this is a Sorting bribe? Well, I don't recall having been at your Sorting, but I'm bloody starving, so thanks!" And with that, he grabbed a couple of balls and tossed them in his mouth. (Oh, Sirius, you and your balls! It's a shame that Mr Bucket wasn't there to witness the sight!)
"Mmmmm, mfff luddeee ooo!" Sirius said around his mouthful of balls. After swallowing, he repeated, "These are bloody good! What's inside them!" Then, realising he hadn't introduced himself to the bloke, he turned to Kyo and said, "Oh - I'm Sirius Black, by the way. Which house were you Sorted into, then?"
"Onigiri? Awesome!" Surprised by that, Ryuuji stopped by the table, flashing Kyo a quick grin, "Hey. I wasn't at your Sorting and have no clue who you are, but may I have one anyway? They look pretty awesome and it's been ages since I've had anything from food."
Realizing he'd been a wee bit impolite, he quickly added, "And my name's Ryuuji Otogi. I'm the Slytherin Prefect."
Since he'd addressed Kyo in English, he gave his name English-style as well.
Ryuuji grinned brightly at Terry, motioning for him to come back, "Onigiri -- you've never had any before? They're basically balls of rice, wrapped around a filling. Most fillings are fish," Cue Ryuuji making a face since Terry already knew Ryuuji was allergic to that, "But you can also get pickles inside, or a sweet filling with milk and sugar."
"Hopefully this has milk ans sugar. I like you with your insides...in." Terry said, sidling closer until there wasn't really any personal space between the both of them, but they were still not touching.
Nessa wheeled herself into the Great Hall, fairly hungry and kind of bored. She stopped as she passed the onigiri table. That looked really, really good.
"Oh-nee-jee-ree?" she asked, sounding it out. "What's that? It looks really tasty." Remembering her manners, she added, "My name's Nessarose. I don't think we've met."
"It's oh-nee-GUH-ree. They're rice balls, I offered them as a bribe to a bunch of people at my sorting, but I couldn't remember their names."
He swings his feet down onto the ground and nods at Nessarose. "I'm Kyo Sohma, I'm in Gryffindor. Help yourself, these ones are plain, these ones in the middle are umeboshi and the ones on that side are salmon."
"Oh. Well, I don't think I was at your Sorting, but if it's all right..." Not knowing what umeboshi was, she took a salmon one and bit into it. Her eyes opened wide. "Oh, this is really good! Where are they from?"
"I made them." He ducks his head and rubs the back of his head in embarassment. "They're not that good. I'm alright at making the shapes, but the flavour's not anything like good."

"What? They're the bribe I made for being sorted. I couldn't remember who I talked to and who wanted one."
He gestures at the table carelessly "Help yourself."

"Kyo Sohma, Gryffindor. I think you just had the salmon ones? Did you take them from this side of the table?"

Kyo looks frustrated after having to explain it over and over.

No, it's not. You just made that up.
"Okay, so I did just make it up. But it is now."
