013th Meatbun ☼ Voice / Action

[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.]

[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?]

[the_brightest_sun]

Really???!!!

[She has created a starry eyed hyperactive monster that won't stop until he finds those candies, that's what she has done.]

You really think I can find some here? I'll try to find some, I want to try them. I bet they are delicious!

[doubleppk]

Probably. Just check the shops.

Although from what I hear, they're pretty disgusting.

[the_brightest_sun]

How can they be disgusting if they are bacon flavored? That would be if they were carrot flavored or something like that!

[doubleppk]

Carrot candy wouldn't be that bad... bacon is just iffy.

[the_brightest_sun]

Carrots are yucky, like all the other vegetables.

[Vegetables are the disgusting ones here, miss!]

[doubleppk]

Have you ever had tomato candy? It's really good. I bet carrot candy would go well with that.

Though I guess most candies have fruit themes to them. Except chocolate. And um... bacon-flavored things.

[the_brightest_sun]

Tomato candy? No, but a tomato is a fruit, right? Like an apple. Fruits aren't that bad.

I love chocolate candies. What candies do you like?

[doubleppk]

It's kind of a vegetable too! Okay what about sweet potato fries or tempura?

I love chocolate too!

You know they also have bacon chocolate? That's an American thing. It's a strange place.

So sorry for the lateness my energy for Goku hasn't been at its best

[the_brightest_sun]

Potato fries are a vegetable too??

[Shell shocked here, potato fries taste good, how can they be vegetables?

Anyway since it's the second or so time she mentioned it and it indeed sounds like a strange place...]

American is a place of your world?

No worries ^_^ I got sick so << yeah <3 backtags are the best tags!

[doubleppk]

Kind of! They make potato fries with other vegetables too though! Like tempura! Carrots, cucumbers, yams, broccoli, all those things fried up like potato fries! It's pretty good!

America is, yes, abridged name for a country and place in my world. The United States of America. Americans are the people.

[the_brightest_sun]

Ewww, I only like potato fries from all of that. I don't think cucumber fries can be any good. Or broccoli, eww, I bet it's yucky.

That's a very long name for a place. How strange is it? Are people blue colored with purple dots, with ten arms with three fingers in each hand and a thousand of eyes as hair, with huge teeth that are four meters long and who wear hats as shoes and shirts as shoes?

[What, that would be pretty strange, wouldn't it?]

[doubleppk]

You can't know until you try it. Usually I think the starches work best, but that's why they batter the others like onion rings.

[Bursts out laughing.] No, not that weird. They just often have a strange accent, wear cowboy hats, and can be a little loud. Actually you'd probably get along well with them. I'm pretty sure we have a bunch in Luceti. OH! And Donatello and his brother are Americans. I think. They're ninja turtles, so they're kind of Japanese too. [... Actually Fujiko just thinks that because she "stole" them, but that's not the point.]

[the_brightest_sun]

But, but, they are still vegetables!

[Vegetables are eeeeevil. Except potatoes and tomatoes, why are those vegetables anyway? They are so tasty and good! Someone made a mistake when grouping them, yep.]

Cowboy hats? They dress like cows? With horns and all?

I don't know any Dona-... [Waaaait a second, let's backtrack for a moment there was something more important in what she said there than who's American and who isn't.] Ninja turtles?!! You mean like they are turtles and are ninjas too?! There are people like that here?!!

[And he didn't know of it? This is awesome, man! They are turtles!! That are ninjas too!!]

[doubleppk]

So are the onions in onion rings, but they barely qualify after being fried.

What? No. Cowboy hats are like... Wide-brimmed hats with little dents. Almost like a fedora, but less city, more country. They're called that because cowboys wore them. Cowboys are like shepherds for cows. They don't dress like cows. And besides, only the bulls have horns, right?

You haven't met the ninja turtles yet? You should! They're adorable. [Obviously why anyone would want to meet them.]

[the_brightest_sun]

[They still qualify for him! Vegetables are eeeeeeeeeevil, woman, eeeeeeeeevil.

Goku listens to the explanation regarding the hats and...]

What's a fedora?

Cows don't have horns? Little ones that aren't pointy?

[Eeeeh, maybe not, he probably has it messed up with something else.]

No, I didn't know we had ninjas in Luceti. Or turtles. And of course I didn't know anything about ninja turtles! Are they nice?

[doubleppk]

It's another type of hat. This requires visual aids apparently, but I haven't gotten all my clothes collection back together yet.

No, female cows are horn free to my knowledge. Oxen might?

They're very nice, yes. We have tons of ninjas in Luceti, but I guess they're really good at staying invisible and blending in. It's kind of their thing.

[the_brightest_sun]

You collect clothes? Why?

[He has just a few shirts and pants... And only because at some point either Ukyo or Hakkai got them for him, he's fine with just one set of clothes after all.]

But that's not fair! I want to see a ninja too!

[doubleppk]

For convenience. You never know they'll come in useful.

Maybe you should ask around for one. They might come out of hiding long enough to show off.
