[Open] The Mapo Tofu affair

Who: Everyone! If you can smell it, you can find it!
When: 6/8-610
Where: Hall of Glory Parlour in Caissa
What: Caren found out she can make mapo tofu and is sharing with everyone. Heaven help us all.
Rating: So far none but will change when things happen.





THe Halls of Glory smell a little different today. Instead of the usual fare that the others might know from the weekly menu, there's a different scent. Something that may remind heroes of Airy, Ma Jiang dishes, or maybe, more simply, of home.

This was the result of Caren's cooking and some hunting on her part. And the results may be quite appealing. There are pots of rice, still steaming, and various bowls filled with the result known as mapo tofu. Some of them are spicer then others, and she hasn't seen fit to label which are very spicy, and which are quite mild. The only thing she has labelled, with a rim of green around the bowls, are the vegan variations, for those who can't, or do not, eat meat or meat by products.

Consider it a game of spice roulette. Because there are other bowls as well, with crushed cucumber-hot pepper salad, spicy tofu, and something that has spewed spinach and garlicy noodles within. But hey! You may be able to cool off with one of the pots of tea around the place-or with one of the rare tubs of ice cream of various flavors, kept chilled with an icy spell.

The cutlery and bowls are disposable, and there are trashbags to clean up after yourself. She's not going to do it for you!

But hey. Who can say no to free food?

Mm.

[Hakuno stretches casually, arms straight up as she takes a moment to enjoy not having what feels like a stomach full of lead.]

I can't begin to imagine you blushing from me yanking your tongue, let alone her other suggestions.

[personal profile] babbylon 2016-06-12 05:56 am (UTC)(link)
Did she also suggest to you how she was howling like a whore in my embrace?

[Here's Gilgamesh. Here's Gilgamesh shamelessly discussing his sex life. Here's Hakuno trapped in the middle. Pity poor Hakuno.]
sealeted: (from these stars)

[personal profile] sealeted 2016-06-12 05:59 am (UTC)(link)
The way she phrased it, she wasn't the howler.

[Gilgamesh, if you think that's enough to discomfit Hakuno, you've got another thing coming. She survived BB, and the Alter Egos, and even Kiara, okay, as long as she isn't literally trapped in the middle of his and Caren's sex life, she should be able to manage.]

[personal profile] babbylon 2016-06-12 06:01 am (UTC)(link)
...!

[Well, that sure shut him up good. Enjoy your moment of victory over Gilgamesh, Hakuno, it is undeniably sweet. As even the great King of Heroes has found himself undeniably silenced by that unexpected bout of sass. Honestly, turning the conversation around like that was grounds enough to slay her on the spot.

However, she may have begun to seal her own fate by a different measure, because it was the sassy women that Gilgamesh favored the most.]
sealeted: (at the end of my day)

[Holy shit, she shut up Gilgamesh.

Holy shit, she just shut up Gilgamesh.

For a moment, Hakuno just lets the amazing, hard-won feeling wash over her. Truly there was no triumph, no victory greater than moments like these, when the King of Heroes was at a loss for words. However, much like all the other times, she knows it won't last. But, damn it all, if it ends it ends on her terms.

Bracing herself for just about anything, Hakuno widens her doe eyes and turns to look at him in (apparently) earnest curiosity.]


You know, she mentioned something else too, just in passing. Something about high heels, and stepping on you...?

DON'T GET ANY IDEAS!

[And that, quite frankly, settled that.]
sealeted: (it is a cruel dream)

[personal profile] sealeted 2016-06-12 06:18 am (UTC)(link)
[It should have settled it.

It really, really should have. Hakuno bites her lip, struggling with all her might internally. Don't do it, she cautions herself. No matter how much you want to, just

don't

do

it—]


So I guess that means, even if I'm really, really, really good, you won't show me those bow tricks while you're wearing the maid costume I heard so much about?

[Welp.]

[personal profile] babbylon 2016-06-12 06:23 am (UTC)(link)
Certainly not.

[That indignation fades entirely, replaced by something like... inordinate pride?]

You'd be far too distracted. The flawless legs of the King would blind a pitiful woman as nubile as you, and that is to say nothing for my stellar derrière.
sealeted: (such a long way)

[personal profile] sealeted 2016-06-12 06:26 am (UTC)(link)
I've seen you stark naked, you're not that—

[SHIT SHIT SHIT ABORT MISSION.]

—you know what, I'll just have to live with the disappointment, I guess.

[personal profile] babbylon 2016-06-12 06:29 am (UTC)(link)
I would have to be very drunk for such a thing to happen. Furthermore, it is tantamount to bestiality.

[Ouch. Gilgamesh really isn't willing to accept even the thought of any scandalous activity with this girl. ...wouldn't be his first brush with that last bit, though.]
sealeted: (if you won't share your past)

[personal profile] sealeted 2016-06-12 06:32 am (UTC)(link)
Actually, you did it in front of an enemy.

[The words snap out before she can think twice. She blanches and quickly amends that misleading statement despite her earnest wishes to just get up and leave.]

...Castoff, You did an AUO Castoff in front of an enemy. Not—that. We were never like that. Ever.

[personal profile] babbylon 2016-06-12 06:34 am (UTC)(link)
[Squinting.

Squinting so hard.

Squinting so hard all possible timelines fuse together and every Gilgamesh comes together to judge her with the intensity of a thousand glistening Castoffs.

What?

[No, really. What.]
sealeted: ((it is a cruel dream))

[personal profile] sealeted 2016-06-12 06:40 am (UTC)(link)
[She's just going to assume that incredulity is over the technique, not her emphatic lack of interest in banging him.]

Look, I didn't name it. The enemy was a delusional virgin, and he somehow decided that was the tactic to take and he just, you know.

[She makes a vague, helpless gesture.]

Castoff. There, uh. There were rose petals? For some reason? And golden light. Look, it was really weird, I don't know what to tell you.

[personal profile] babbylon 2016-06-12 06:47 am (UTC)(link)

An intriguing tactic.

[Uh-oh. It seems this Gilgamesh may have just been given an idea he should never be allowed to have.]
sealeted: (don't share your heart)

[personal profile] sealeted 2016-06-12 06:51 am (UTC)(link)
[Hakuno closes her eyes briefly in self-hatred, apologizing to the world at large.]

Sure it is. Just... And this is just a hypothetical, but just keep in mind... I'm fine with you contemplating that tactic, so long as I never open the door to my room and find you lounging there naked for no discernible reason.

[personal profile] babbylon 2016-06-12 06:52 am (UTC)(link)
With rose petals?

[It has begun.]
sealeted: (at the end of my day)

[personal profile] sealeted 2016-06-12 06:55 am (UTC)(link)
There were no rose petals, he was just... sitting there. Naked and waiting. It was weird.

[She pauses, before figuring, fuck it, and looking him dead in the eye.]

Hypothetically.

[personal profile] babbylon 2016-06-12 06:58 am (UTC)(link)
Hypothetically, that would not happen here.

[But, you know... hypothetically.]
sealeted: (from these stars)

[personal profile] sealeted 2016-06-12 06:59 am (UTC)(link)
Hypothetically, I might love this place even more now.

[She gives a little victory fist-pump. The less surprise dick in her life, the better, she thinks.

...this poor, dumb fool.]
