013th Meatbun ☼ Voice / Action

[the_brightest_sun]

[It's time for some advertisment. Or at least Goku thinks so, honestly speaking the kid isn't the best at managing a restaurant if only because he's, after all, a kid. Still he manages to do a decent job, he opens it everyday at lunch hours at least even if it remains closed the rest of the time... Except when he sleeps in or just forgets about the time when he's playing, then it remains closed for the most part.

Today, though, he's in a responsible mood so he's going to make some advertisment rather than just go and play. Advertising is also a great way to meet new people and make friends in his opinion. That and after a lot of thinking the kid has decided that two working at the restaurant made everything easier than it being just him. He would ask Natsuno but... He doesn't want the other to accept just because he asked him or something, he's sure Natsuno has other things to do anyway.]

Good morning, Luceti!!!

My name's Son Goku and I'm here to invite all of you to Ucchan's Okonomiyaki restaurant, the best okonomiyaki restaurant in the whole village! [And the only one but that doesn't matter.] Even if you don't know what okonomiyaki is you should come and try it! It's one of the best foods in the world, you can have it in any way you want with any flavors you want! You can have a meat okonomiyaki or even a vegetable one if you're the type to like that. [There are weird people everywhere, even people who likes vegetables.] The ingredients are always the best and freshly picked, I go to get them everyday to make sure of that, sometimes I even go twice if I didn't get enough for the day! And it's all free, of course!

The restaurant is right between the flower shop and the clothing shop All Passions, reeeeeally close to the village's square! And it's always open at meal hours and dinner time so if you're ever hungry and want to try something new or you really like okonomiyaki, just drop by! "Customers are always great to have even if there's no money here"!

[The last part sounds more as if he's quoting someone that saying something he really thinks, mostly because Goku doesn't really know yet what money is, it's what happens when you live in a place without money and are sent to another place without money.]

Also, right now Ucchan isn't in Luceti so it's just me taking care of the restaurant. I'm not as good as Ucchan is when making okonomiyaki but I'm still pretty good! Making okonomiyaki is really fun because you never know what the customer is going to ask for and I'm very nice and friendly, I think. So if anyone wants to learn how to make okonomiyaki or wants to help with the restaurant just ask me! Taking care of the restaurant was easier when it was two of us working there and it was less lonely at the hours when there aren't customers, so I would really like to have someone working there. It doesn't matter if you have never made okonomiyaki or if you can't cook, I can teach you! Or you can just help with serving and cleaning, that's enough too.

[With that the kid closes the message, satisfied with his work and convinced that this will attract customers or something. After all everyone likes to eat, right? And even if the 7th Heaven's food is also great it's nice to change a bit from time to time.]


[Today Goku has decided to not spend any minute playing outside. Instead he will be at the restaurant during meal hours or running around the village when it's not a time when customers normally come. He's not playing though, instead he's carrying a backpack full with hand-made pamphlets and handing one to everyone he crosses paths with, coupled with a bright and wide smile and a cheerful voice.]

Please, come visit Ucchan's Okonomiyaki!! We will love to see you there and feed you!

[He doesn't bother people for long unless they talk back to him, at least, running towards another person as soon as he has delivered his message.]

Okonomiyaki? Can't say I've had that before.

You say you'd like people to help you out with the restaurant. I don't mind lending a hand. It'll be interesting.

[He's looking forward to meeting new people.]

By the way, I'm Noel Kreiss. Nice to meet you. [May as well introduce himself while he's at it.]

[the_brightest_sun]

Then you should totally come! I had never had it before I met Ucchan either but it's really yummy and you can have it in many different ways!

[He's literal about that, though it may also depend on someone's stomach with some of the combinations Goku thinks of.]

Nice to meet you too! Working at the restaurant was more fun when Ucchan was here because it was the two of us, but since she left it has been harder too... Well it was easier again when Hakkai came here but he left soon after too so it's just me again. I want to take good care of the restaurant until Ucchan comes back so I thought that since it's easier with other people there I could ask for help. When could you help? I don't mind it if it's just some days or at certain hours.

[handmotions]

Different ways? I'm getting excited now.

Things are always more lively with more people around. It sounds like you've been taking good care of it already.

I still have my responsibilities as a student and I have to make sure I do a good job of it.

I'll try to drop by whenever I can. My teacher's really strict.

[the_brightest_sun]

Yup! The base is always the same but the toppings can be different each time! One customer may want one with lots of meat and another one with just a bit of meat and some vegetables, and many other combinations! Ucchan told me that there are tons of recipes for okonomiyaki based on people's tastes.

[Okonomiyaki, the best food ever.]


It's fine with whenever you can and for as long as you can! Just let me know so if other people decide to help we can make it so not everyone is here at the same time. It would be tons of fun but then I would still be alone the rest of the time so it wouldn't help much.

[Or so he thinks. Then again maybe not that many people will decide to help so he may be worrying for nothing.]

[handmotions]

Lots of meat, you say? Well, I always like meat. It's all I ever really eat.

[He lives the life of a hunter. Meat comes with the job.]

I'll be sure to do that. Spending tons of time alone could get sort of ...depressing? [It really depends, but that's more or less how he sees it.]

I understand.

[deceases]

[ Goku's of course not alone in the restaurant though. Even if - when asked about it by anyone else - he'll deny it, he just wants to stay here with the boy for a bit. He can just say it's for the sake of peace and quiet, but that won't hold up since it isn't always calm in the restaurant.. but oh well. He's definitely not there to eat though, more just to watch Goku. ]

.. Working hard?

[the_brightest_sun]

Welcome!!

[The greeting is always automatic as soon as he hears someone entering and with an accurate hearing as the kid can have sometimes he doesn't even need to hear the bell at the door tingle to know that it's being pushed. Still, as happy as it's the greeting when someone comes, it's nothing compared to how happy the kid looks when he notices that it's Natsuno.]

Niisan!! Yep! I'm working hard, today we have many customers.

[He keeps saying "we" when talking about the restaurant even though it's just him working there. Though with the advertisement he made he hopes that will change soon.]

[deceases]

It's since you've been telling everyone about this place so much.

[ He saw the message on the journal, after all.. but it's really just a fact, of course people would at least bother to check a place like this out when hearing that. At least a few people. ]

[the_brightest_sun]

But ad-... Adver-... Making the restaurant known is important for business, so I have to tell everyone about the restaurant a lot more yet.

[Ucchan raised him well to be a little business man. Except that he doesn't really understand half of what he does or says, just repeating what he has heard her say. Anyway, even if Natsuno isn't here to eat he will have a special okonomiyaki delivered his way.]

... It's not a bad thing, right? Ucchan liked it when I did that.

[deceases]

No, it's a good idea. [ he can at least praise goku over stuff like this, since it's pretty much just a fact and neutral.. and he didn't quite come for food, no, but he's already poking the food slightly with his eating utensils as he talks. ]

In fact, it's pretty smart for a little guy like you.

[doubleppk]

Okonomiyaki~? Really?

Got a favorite recipe?

[She's been waitressing for Sanji, but still she could probably take on more shifts for more food.]

[the_brightest_sun]

Yeah, really! Do you know it, neesan?

Uhmmm... I like it the best when okonomiyaki has meat toppings! Like pork, chicken, beef...

[As long as there's lots of meat he's happy with it.]

[doubleppk]

Yup! Not that I could cook it at all.

You're a total meat lover then?

[the_brightest_sun]

There's nothing better than meat! Fish can be tasty too. Oh, and there are sweets too. I wish there was a sweet that was meat flavored, that would be the very best!

[And the most horrifying mix ever.]

[doubleppk]

Oh, you must not be familiar with American or English food. They have bacon flavored candies. You might even be able to find some like that here.

[... What has she done now?]

[Video]

[mistlegacy]

[Well, how can she resist helping such adorableness?]

I would be glad to help, Goku. You'll have to teach me how to make that, but I'm a quick learner!

[Video]

[the_brightest_sun]

It's okay! Ucchan also had to teach me how to make it, it's really easy to make and really fun. Are you sure you can help? Even if it's just for a bit of time a few days that's still fine with me!

[Video]

[mistlegacy]

Yes, I'm sure. I'm going to be less busy than I was, so I'll have plenty of time for you.

[Video]

[the_brightest_sun]

Then it's true you won't take care of the Welcome Center anymore?

[He sounds honestly worried there. As far as he knows Rydia's just perfect for welcoming people anywhere, he can't know if whoever takes her place will be as good.]

[Video]

[mistlegacy]

Oh, I'll still be there to help. But I'm sure I'll find someone to take over leading it for me.

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

I might be able to help out a little if you need someone in the evenings sometimes.

[Voice] - Terribly, terribly sorry for the lateness my energy for Goku hasn't been at its best

[the_brightest_sun]

Really? That sounds great! Even if it's just a little bit sometimes I appreciate the help, it's better than none.

[Voice] no worries!

[knightofratatosk]

Yeah! I'm pretty good at making okonomiyaki... at least, Caius seems to think so. He never complains when I make it for dinner.

[Voice]

[the_brightest_sun]

I'm sure it will be fine then! 'Sides, there are many ways to make okonomiyaki anyway so it's hard to go wrong with it. Is Caius your friend?

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

Yeah, he's my housemate. He likes pretty much anything I cook, though, so I don't know if he's the best judge of how good I am or not.
