[Hellooooo Lunatia!

It's that weird kid with the permanent tail again. The one who offered to feed people for his birthday because that's... totally normal, right?

Well. Look. He's doing that sort of thing properly now. Or will be shortly.

He just has to announce it!

Which he starts to do, even getting out a "Heyo!" before stopping and looking... like he's in pain?

He grimaces and bends down out of frame for a moment, picking up a very small, floofy-fuzzy bluegray kitten with ears too big for her head and paws moving in the air, not fully struggling to get away but still squirming a bit.]

Mochi, not now...

[He says it softly and looks back, handing the kitten over to someone behind him before turning back so he can actually focus on the camera.]

Sorry about that. Anyway! Rin here--

... Rin Okumura here. I just wanted to pop in and announce that my business license got approved and I'm gonna be openin' Niisan's Teppanyaki on Level Two! It's gonna be right on the beach with indoor and outdoor seatin', lotsa teppanyaki grills and great food!

We're gonna have our grand openin' on the 10th of this month, and since it's so close to Valentine's Day we'll be doin' a buy one meal, get one free deal if you come with a partner!

I'm also lookin' for workers if anyone out there needs a job. We need uh...

[A pause here so he can look at his notes-]

A few more chefs, some hosts and some dishwashers.

I'm really excited for this so I hope to see as many people as possible for the grand openin'!

[ooc: More information about Niisan's Teppanyaki can be found here!]

[When you're a centaur, a tail isn't too bad! He looks human otherwise, which is confusing, but- She's seen weirder since coming here! The food is way more interesting.]

Oh, that sounds really tasty!

But when you say "outdoor seating" do you mean like... space to lay down in, or... is it kind of more human sized?

Uhhh human si--

[Wait a second, what's that behind her--]

WHOA! What--... what are-- ... uhm.

[Shit. Is this rude to ask? He's never seen anything like her before!]

[She follows his gaze, craning her head to look at her own rear before... Oh.]

Ehe, I’m a jinba. Or centaur, if you want to. Which is... why I’m asking.

Duuuuude. That's awesome! I've never met a real centaur before!

[His tail is wagging excitedly.]

Oh uh, the seatin' outside should work. I can move some stuff around for you. I wouldn't want you to miss out just 'cause of that.

I- Is it awesome? I’m really normal where I come from, promise.

[just excuse her kind of blushing]

I’d like to visit if you wouldn’t mind moving some seats, though....

Trust me, it's awesome. There's nothin' like that where I'm from. Just a sec, lemmie see...

[He looks down and starts scribbling on something, clearly thinking very hard as he does so. After a moment he lets out an excited "ah!" and nods.]

Yeah, I can totally move some stuff around. There's a good space for it out on the patio right next to one of the firepits.

Well, I’d appreciate that...

[but also wait he has a tail so-]

What’s it like in your world, then? If there’s no Jinba.

[He shrugs.]

Just humans. ... and demons. But most humans can't see 'em anyway.

Oh, “and”... we have legends where I’m from but I don’t think we have any real demons...

Is that what you are? I won’t be scared, or anything- I’ve met nice demons here.

Half. Demons are actually part of another world that's kinda like a mirror to mine and they usually only get through by possession.

I was actually trainin' to be an exorcist back home but that's uh... not really a thing for me anymore.

Half... Alright! I wasn’t sure, since most of the demons I’ve met here look... almost the same as humans, just stronger.

[and prettier, more often than not? weird...]

From exorcist to grill master... ?

Yeah, that's normal. A lotta demons hide their traits.

[Mephisto is not pretty. Mephisto is a fucking gremlin.]

Well, to be fair, I was cookin' long before the demon shit was ever an issue...

One told me he was so big that a whole forest grove wouldn’t be enough... are they that big in your world, too?

What do you recommend I try? What’s your best dish?

Some.

[Not any that he wants to talk about...]

Uh, I guess that depends on what you like? Are you vegetarian? [she is a centaur after all]

Me? No, I can eat anything people can eat!

[There are some sharp canines in that smile, there.]

Well- not everything, but. I can eat meat, I mean. Lots of people ask that.

Well, yeah, most uh... horse-horses are vegetarians or whatever. But that's cool! I got options for both, and some different specials and sides, too.

I guess I get it, but. I'm not a horse, so!

[so... yummy protein?]

I'll be excited to try it!

[Yummy protein.]

I'll hopefully get to see you soon then!

I don't want to take up space for your grand opening so... after that! I'll come by, promise!

[He almost argues that it would be fine, but he really can't predict how busy it's going to be. She has a point...

He's quietly excited to meet a real cenatur, but he can hold it together until she decides to show up.]

I'm gonna hold you do that~

If I don't show up, I'll send you free vegetables for a whole year! That's how sure I am.

[one centaur guest shortly after his grand opening, guaranteed!]

I mean, I'd take free veggies anyway!

[He's kidding.

Mostly.]

It's fine if somethin' comes up, but if not I'll definitely see you there!

I guess I should mention that my husband and I do shipping into the city for businesses... The first basket is a free sample, if you're interested!

[She's bad at business. Or good at business. You decide.]

[Rin thinks she's good, but he also has no idea what he's doing.]

Hell yes I'm interested!

In that case, I'll bring one by when I come!
