[Lunatia's resident centaur lady is back on screen, excitedly trying to... set her network device up somewhere where it can actually get all of a rather large frame into the shot. Not that she waits to start talking.]


Greetings, everyone! I didn't realize it's been months since I last used this for "posting"... There's probably so many new people, so, um, very quickly- If you don't know me, my name is Konoha! I'm a jinba... Or a "centaur" if you want! And oh, that's my husband, Gonta... and our friend, Mikuni! Say hello, you two!

[Catching sight of the other jinba behind her pausing in their field work, she moves the camera to show a large palomino fellow (Gonta) who gives a gruff nod and semi-wave, and an elegant ebony-coated gentleman? (Mikuni) who dips into a more proper bow with a little smile.]

We run the Tsurugi Farmstead in the Greatmoon Groves! There was a lot of damage when it flooded before, but thanks to everyone's efforts we're back up and running properly... and we've had our first fall harvest!

So... as a bit of a thank you, and also maybe to celebrate not dealing with those awful nightmares anymore, I thought we could have a hotpot party here by the river? In my village we usually make imoni in the autumn, it's so delicious! It's full of beef and taro root and leeks and konnyaku... Mmm!

[She finally gets the device set up properly and trots back into frame properly, obviously excited by the invitation she's making.]


Cordis is almost over, right? So now seems like a good time before Iris shows up... But if you have a Cordis appetite, don't worry! We'll supply all the imoni... or, the ingredients, anyway, it's more fun if you cook it outside with everyone. We also have fresh sweet potatoes, pumpkin, new rice... oh, and persimmons!

But if you want to share anything, feel free to bring your own dish, too! Let's say... tomorrow? I'll send directions for anyone who hasn't visited before, alright?

I hope we see you there! Er, here, I mean! If you have any questions, just let me know!

[And with a last smile, she gives a big, respectful bow from the "waist" before moving to grab her device, a muffled "Gonta, Mikuni, wait up- !" before the feed cuts, and a moment later a pin on the Lunatian map app becomes available.]

[Hey, he remembers this lady!!]

Hey there, Miss Konoha. Good to hear the farm's back in order.

[lumberlady]

Hello!

[hey, she remembers this guy!]

Thank you... And you helped, so! I really hope you're planning to come by for some imoni tomorrow?

So, I'm curious. [ Of all things she keeps discovering new foods, and wonders how the hell she's going to go back to eating beans when and if it comes time to.

So here's Re-L, looking to be in the middle of her get-ready routine and fixing her hair as she asks: ]

What exactly is hot pot?

[lumberlady]

Hello, Miss Re-L!

[Konoha gives a wave from- Looks like she's started field work and is answering the network in between tasks. Days start early on the farm.]

Hot pot? It's when you can throw all your ingredients into one big pot and cook them all together. Just stir and wait until it's ready then eat it right out of the pot!

[ Pls let's party at the farmstead..... Doumeki loves helping out at Konoha's place, and after the nightmare nonsense he could certainly use a break!! So in keeping with it being Konoha and everything, he dons his yukata from the festival and even brings a large pot with him: miso soup!! He's been working on his cooking so he wants to show off a little. (Well, and maybe give them a test run, see how people like the soup before he makes it for Yashiro.)

So if you want to get some soup, Doumeki is helping!! He'll serve you some soup if you want. I mean, what could be better than yakuza-made miso soup? If you wanna just chill, Doumeki can also be found being chill. He'll be at one of the tables having a meal and enjoying the food and man, this is great! Well, he's not smiling, but you can kinda get the sense he might be happy. ]

You are free to join me.

[lumberlady]

[Who is super pleased to see Doumeki arrive with a dish? Konoha certainly is, chest puffing up with a bit of pride that her employee-friend-student has taken it upon himself to help provide more food as well as test out the recipes she’d been teaching him.]

Doumeki-san!

[Which might be why she joins the food line as if she wasn’t organizing this while impromptu shindig, holding out an empty bowl with a big smile.]

One miso soup, please!

[Both for eating and for taste testing...]

[Alright then, he's loaded himself with more food than Samatoki would normally take at any one time. Cordis has him craving this and that, and he is balancing it all rather precariously. He also has no concern over his pheromones and lets them fly, so sorry to anyone who is drawn by the smell of smoke, a copper hint that seems like blood after a fight, and good strong coffee.

It is his basic natural smell but on crack, and he wears it far too comfortably for those around him. He recognizes Doumeki; it's the guy who pitched in on those thugs with him. Well, alright, this party is looking up just a little bit more since he is fighting with Jyuto and couldn't invite the cop. Inviting Riou probably would have ended in him getting laid before the night was over (He may still make the invite if he decides to indulge that urge today.), but it also would have gotten him fed. Coming here was to sate his hunger without that happening.

He is half dropped in the seat, already having sat his food down before the other man can even offer the privilege to him. Of course, he's welcome, who wouldn't want his company, he's a fucking ray of sunshine.]

Nice get up.

[He smirks, starting in on his food. Mostly just teasing, though he is here in his normal attire, jeans, black boots, and a vintage button shirt. He's pissed he had to adjust the jeans to accommodate his arctic foxtail. Guess these pairs will be his Cordis attire from now on. His ears, nearly blend in with his hair the color is so similar but they are definitely there.]

[handsomefoil]

I don't really cook but
Would drinks suffice?

{ he came to see the centaurs and stayed to talk about a potluck. which in turn would give him an excuse to further see more centaurs.}

[lumberlady]

Hello, there! Nice to meet- Or, is it nice to meet you? I don’t know that username I think...

[and she definitely made a mistake about someone like that recently so- just checking!!!]

We’d welcome drinks just as much, either way!

[zutsuki]

[Tanjiro has gotten pretty good at using the devices, he thinks. He's by no means an expert, but he's leaps and bounds better than he used to be. He watches Konoha's little invitation and smiles, returning a short video to her, displaying him meandering around his apartment-- which is strangely empty.]

I won't dissuade anyone else from them, but I'm steering clear of your persimmons, just so you know. [This is apparently going to be a joke forever.] I'll be there soon, okay? Do you need me to bring anything to help?

[lumberlady]

[It's Tanjiro! In his... Was that his apartment? She's distracted enough to ask-]

Wh- What? Why? They're really good this season... Really crisp and flavorful!

Do you not like persimmons? Or... you prefer them dried? Don't worry, we're saving some for that, you just have to wait until winter.

[recludere]

[ He's normally used to speaking in text, but the sheer...he doesn't want to call it naivete, but. Openness? Of this invitation catches him off guard.

He speaks. It's a quiet, demure, silky sort of voice. Like a cobweb in a dark corner kind of silky. ]

...and just anyone can show up to this.

[ Sorry, overly cautious bb... ]

[lumberlady]

Yeah, just anyone!

[the response is energetic and bright, almost immediate... from the middle of a rice field, if the background is any indication.]

[lumberlady]

Or- Wait, does that sound bad? I don’t mean “just anyone” like you’re not important! I mean “anyone who wants to is welcome”, like that!

We’re all Moonblessed and stuck here, so- We have something in common!

[ The seasons changed so fast, he hardly realized it was already autumn until the pumpkins started showing up everywhere. ]

I suppose it is time to get to decorating. If we don't have at least one pumpkin out, I will never hear the end of it from a certain someone. What dish shall I treat you to this time in exchange?

[lumberlady]

Percival's world does the pumpkin face tradition, too? I like that one, it's kind of fun.

[Even if the ones she carves looks like onigawara more than jack-o-lanterns.]

Will you come to the meal? Something that can be shared easily would be good, then!

video; un; yashiro

[shinseikai]

Is that your husband?

[ yashiro sighs wistfully. what a fucking stud. ]

[lumberlady]

Hello, Yashiro-san!

[Video back on for replies, Konoha gives a smile and a wave before- oh, what's that? One of her favorite topics? (She and Doumeki really are similar that way, don't @ her.)]

Gonta?

[She swings the camera a bit to show said husband some distance behind her, fetlock deep in the rice fields hard at work]

Yeah, that's him!

[reflash]

[Yukio hasn't left his apartment at all during this, his first experience with the Cordis moon, and he knows he shouldn't, but this seems extremely safe.]

That's very kind of you, [wait, what was her name?] Konoha-san.

Are you sure you don't need anyone to bring ingredients? I don't cook, but I'd like to help somehow.

[This is a teenager who is way too distracted by the idea of a social gathering with food to do things like introduce himself properly.]

[lumberlady]

Hi, there!

[Wait a minute... This person's face looks... familiar... Where does she know him from..........]

You don't have to, but I certainly would appreciate anything people brought! Do you cook?

[Video] un; mr. hc

[boutdatlife]

[Okay, he is Cordis, has a Cordis appetite, and is definitely trying to avoid Riou's cooking as much as he can. It's much FYI. So this offer, for a starving Samatoki more indulgent of his own whims, pure gold.]

Oi, you really going to feed anyone who shows up?

[lumberlady]

Well, that's the plan anyway!

[Video reply coming at you from... Yup, a kitchen. One made for centaur size, thankfully.]

Until we run out of imoni, I guess?

[chichichi]

[ It's Cordis and Setsura knows she has to be careful, that she probably shouldn't go out tomorrow. She has to mind herself when she's got clarity or something like it mostly and anyway, she has thoughts concerning the matter of free things, but... this is Konoha and she said "hot pot," which has traditionally been her favorite dish among friends, and describing imoni like she did has her mouth watering a bit and she could... make an argument to go given that encouragement to essentially contribute.

She's still not entirely certain she's really up for celebrating things, but Konoha looks really cute and... huggable and hot pot sounds really good and she could definitely make something to bring, so -- ]

So, [ she says finally -- has the device been on this entire time with Setsura filtering through a number of expressions? Absolutely, accidentally -- ] you could probably do with some wagashi.

[lumberlady]

[It's Setsura!

Looking... frozen? Is her device thing broken? No, wait, she moved.

Thoughtful Setsura... reluctant Setsura... good idea Setsura... ?]

[audio | @hot.damn]

[circumitus]

Can't really cook, but can help out with... anything else, if you need extra hands?

[lumberlady]

Hello, Rey!

[... Admittedly, she hadn't imagined the other woman was a good cook, no.]

I wouldn't mind help setting up if you're free.
