Okuni wasn't completely sure what she thought of the man who simply waltzed in and decided to first clean up Kokakuro and then hold a party there in the same day, but her initial impression was that he was just the sort of man she could enjoy spending her time with.

She pulled her hair back as she stepped into the place and took mental survey of the damage. "Hello?" she called out, trying to figure out who was here already.

Gipo heard someone call out and came out from the kitchen where he had been cleaning the food preparation surfaces. He liked to indulge in his cooking skills every now and then and was enthralled to have access to a professional kitchen.

He smiled when he saw the young woman who had been there earlier upset about the damaged restaurant.

"Ah so you did come. I'm happy to see you here."

As long as he stayed on the restaurant side of the business, Okuni would be polite to him. Her boss kept the other portion, the part she actually worked for, secret and she would keep that for him as much as possible. When he stepped out, she smiled warmly and offered her hand.

"My employer has been out of sorts lately, but I'm sure he'll be glad to see someone using this place for what should be a very good purpose. I am Okuni."

He smiled back at her and took her hand with a firm grip.

"It's not surprising that people would be out of sorts when an Earthquake affects their business." He had experienced much the same with his organization due to the recent volcanic eruption although he wasn't about to bring that issue into the conversation.

"Besides I have always found Solstice a good excuse for a wild party. Japaneses style will be different though. I go by Gipo."

((OOC pronounced GEpo))

"Well, I'm glad you decided to use my establishment then, Gipo." He smiled and slipped into the room, hair in a high pony tail and dressed in a traditional male Kimono. He had three layers on, two closed and a purple one hanging open.

He really did look like a man out of the photos from those many years ago.

"I've already had lunch made for the people helping."

Her smile grew when she heard her boss's voice. Okuni almost worried for the man sometimes, in that purely professional interest sort of way. "This place needs some good advertising and excitement. Hopefully this will be just the thing.

Okuni stepped in closer to Oriya and whispered in his ear, "For both the restaurant and my part of things."

"It all seemed to fall into place when I realized what the date was. I was here and I figured it certainly couldn't hurt to give your business a kick start after the shaking we all got. Besides, although I said Japanese would be different for the party, I'm not unfamiliar with the cooking. Somebody very close to me..." He stopped and got a faraway look in his eyes, then he shook his head briefly. "Well no matter."

"I am curious though, what were the fragile things you lost in the quake? Not irreplaceable I hope?"
