[color=black] You'll just have to hold out on this bluff. Ah! Wait.[/color] "Technically it's the [i]costume[/i] that's adorable. Not me. If it was any other costume, I bet it wouldn't work." [color=black] It's a shaky defense but it's all you have.[/color] 19:33:59
> “Ah, You’re right! Guess you’d just be cute by proxy! Nyohoho~! There is duch a thing as looking cute in uniform!” Damn, they just Phoenix Write Objectioned them. How could this have happened! 19:38:43

> [color=black] Your argument is in shambles. You can't possible recover. You can't lose. Even if the stakes are non-existent. [/color] "Well- So would you! [i]Everyone[/i] is cute by proxy! Uh. Actually that sounds kind of silly." [color=black] You turn your attention to the ceiling, as if there was some magical hole that you could escape to. No such chance. You're onto something though. You will see this silly argument to the end.[/color] "Maybe... The only [i]definitive[/i] way you could prove this is if you found a costume that is [i]just[/i] cute enough to call me cute, but not cute enough to not work for everyone." 19:46:15
> [color=black] You quickly add [/color] "So unless you have one, I'm safe. Bam!" 19:47:06
> “D’oh! My argument is dust! This is an outrage! The only thing I can get out of this was the fact you called me cute.” Damn, it’s something at least. They giggled. “Better be careful or else the context is gonna be taken away, Nyoho~!” 19:51:54

> [color=black] Wait that worked? Huh. Faked it till you made it. You should make up bad arguments more often. At this point, you've given up worrying about how much you're blushing. You'll give into the madness. On another note, you've discovered that giggling is contagious.[/color] "Context or not, I stand by what I said. I would be lying if I said you wouldn't look cute in basically anything. It's just the truth!" 20:01:25

> they chuckled. “Damn, Mista Handsome is being a flirt? Never expected that!” Jesus dude, you better not have a romantic shape within your first month here. What would your lusus think!?… actually he’d be proud of this, god damn it 20:05:51
> "Well I can't just let you get away with this without trying to fire back a little attack of my own! -And it [i]is[/i] true so it's not really flirting and just... saying facts?" [color=black] You should probably backpedal before you say too much. [/color] "Is it really that surprising?" 20:12:26

> “You can spit facts while trying to be flirty, it’s not that hard to do.” They smiled. “You did also ask me out to lunch, what’s that about?” They teased, giving a :p face. 20:20:07
> [color=black] Red alert. [/color]"Woah! I mean yes- But not in that way! It was more so I could- To get familiar with the restaurant. Not in like a date-y way. Just... food. Yep!" [color=black] You shuffle in place as you start to feel the effects of being in the hot seat. This is cruel. This has to be the worst timeline. Getting crushed by your- Argh! This is really not the time or place to be introspecting on your feelings.[/color] "Uh. What [i]about[/i] it anyways? There's not much to really explain..." 20:30:06

You weren't built for this kind of stress.[/color] "If you keep going at me like that, I might crawl into an early grave and melt. My bloodpusher can't take it. Haha..." [color=black] You decide to take a seat right there on the ground. Might as well get comfortable.[/color] "...It's kind of funny how none of this would've happened if I just slept on time. No secrets, no wagers. Just a normal night." 20:50:05
> “Guess destiny had had an adventure planned for ya, eh?” They scoffed as they sat too. “Then again, you did ask for a job from a yakuza owned business. I’d say you got off easy. Nyoho!” They crossed their legs as they start looking through their modus 20:56:24

> "Hahah. Good point." [color=black]You turn your attention to Tobira. [/color] "I mean, seriously, what are the odds? Like- Even just the costume thing is so cool! The fact that you're willing to go out of your way to custom make them for whoever works there is insane! Uh. In a good way. It's almost too good to be true." [color=black] You giggle[/color] "Damn. Can't believe I fell for the world's most elaborate long-con. Oh well. " 21:06:47

> “All profit goes into the store and store assets. Even use a lot of my own yakuza earnings for it. My hive wasn’t to big either, only had one block and a few belongings stored in a closet for when I needed them. Those things are here with me now too.” They smiled. “That’s why I go all out on my hires and guests, the budget’s that fat. Nyoho~!” They take out a box of some still fresh flour batter orbs. A 6pc of curry filled with rice bed, still hot and full of fresh ingredients. 21:15:47

> "It's impressive is what it is! I should probably save the rest of my praise until that visit at the restaurant." [color=black] You do a slight double-take before realizing what's happening.[/color] "Oh! Right. Lunch. I think. Is that happening now?" [color=black] You have no idea what to look at first. You feel like you'd start sound like a broken record if you complimented Tobira any more.[/color] 21:29:35
> “If you’re hungry for it.” They offer the food. “You’re welcome to have at it now or later.” They spoke, taking out chopsticks to offer along with the food. 21:32:01
culinaryMisdoings (mobile) [] joined chat. ~~ 7 ~~ 21:40:51
> [color=black] Well now you have to accept! They did put in the effort to make this for you- Or at least share some with you. And it's not like you aren't hungry, but you're afraid something might go wrong. Somehow. What if you don't like it...? Mortifying. There's no time to think about that now. You've brought this upon yourself Hansou. You graciously accept the chopsticks before turning your attention back to the food... You idly prodd at one of the batter orbs before bringing one up to your mouth and biting into it- Ah! Wait! Manners! You manage to let out a muffled[/color] "Thmnks." [color=black] 21:41:27
> they smiled and nod. “Enjoy your meal.” Within the cooked batter orb is a mildly spiced curry featuring a thick sauce, potato, carrot cubes, and perhaps a bit of beef flavoring. Practically a bread pill delivering a mouthful of curry goodness! Don’t forget to get some rice in there with it. 21:47:06

> [color=black]One down, five left to go... You decide to abandon restraint and devour the next one immediately. Unbeknownst to you, there's some food left on your face. They're [i]good[/i]. Scarily good. The downside to all of this is that Tobira's restaurant is guaranteed to be wildly successful with food like this. That means more work for you. You're not sure if you're ready to be thrown into the dealing-with-customers frying pan on day one, but you'll just have to manage. How bad can it be? You should probably... [/color] "Uh. Sorry, haha. Do you want any?" 21:56:02
> they shook their head. “No, it’s alright. I still have other in my modus if I needed to eat. How is it?” They asked, taking out another set of six orbs. These ones smell like Italian food, like pizza! “It’s a bit on the experimental side of food but it’s still made as fresh as possible.” 22:01:03

> " Okay, if you're sure... -And it's great! Genuinely some of the best food that I've had. -I should add that it's not a very high bar though." [color=black]You blink. They have [i]more?[/i] And it's completely different?? Oh no. Not only will Tobira's place be successful- it'll be [i]popular[/i]. While a good thing, you're not excited about the dozens of trolls who will see you working there. Just another problem future-you has to deal with. [/color] "...Do you carry food with you at all times? 22:09:39
(( working there as a blubberbeast* whoops. 22:10:19
> “Yeah. Always do for special orders or in case wait times are too long for customers. Modus keeps it as fresh as the moment I put the food in, better than a fridge in most aspects.” The downside is that is gets so full of food you can’t find anything you’re looking for. 22:13:53
> "Huh. Convenient. I wish my modus was that simple."[color=black] Another ball devoured. You only now just notice the piece of food stuck on your face and wipe it clean. Crisis averted.[/color] "Ooh!- Quick question. Is it okay if I took some back from work? It'd be nice to have some of your orbs on hand to pop in my mouth if I get hungry." 22:22:31
> “Sure, I’d be more than happy to serve up some food for my hires. Only makes sense to feed hard workers after a day of labor!” They say as they eat an orb too. “Dango, creme mochi, whatever the customer can order that day the hires can have too.” 22:26:54
