post palace hot pot party (week 7)

[townmusician]

[Yoon's Palace has faded away, but the fact the God of Conflict decided to show up and intervene again...

Well, that's! Not a good sign! To say the least! But there's nothing to be done about that right now, and Haruka isn't of the mind to really sit and wonder about divine conflicts and grandstanding and all of that, anyways. It's not his problem. The people who deal with that sort of thing on the regular can be in charge of all of that.

What he's in charge of (by virtue of being annoying) is... hot pot. Specifically rounding up everyone and dragging them out to a hot pot restaurant in the city.

He'll miss having money but... he'll just have to work hard to earn it back... Have fun, everyone. (Or maybe he can find a way to charge Mina for this?)]

Sure, I'll try some.

[Holding out her bowl, giv]

[Here you go, then! Thankfully Sayaka has chosen a rather mild broth that compliments it, but she grins a bit.]

I hope you enjoy it, Aubrey-san! There's a lot more I can recommend too, but ahhh...I haven't been to one of these places in so long! It's honestly so nice, and reminds me of home...

We never had a place like this where I'm from.

[Slurping up some - making a pleased noise, and chewing her way through to swallow before she continues that thought.]

I'm just from a small town, though.

[destage]

[Sayaka smiles a bit at Aubrey's pleased expression, though she finds herself nodding her head.]

That makes sense; I grew up in a pretty big and bustling city, but I remember traveling out to some smaller places back when we did a lot of touring and the like. I bet it's quite the experience, huh?

[Sayaka grabs some cabbage and carrots from her own pot, smiling a bit.]

Honestly, even if these were somewhat common back home, I could only ever dream of going to one, so I get it. I'm surprised these haven't taken off much of anywhere else...

[moodwrecker]

We pretty much had a single pizza joint.

[The options in Faraway Town were not what one would call "plentiful."]

...But you're having fun now?

[destage]

...It sounds better than nothing, but I can see where it'd be a little boring to go to the same place all of the time...

[But despite it all, Sayaka smiles--she'll even use a clean pair of chopsticks to pass over some of the fatty beef she's got to Aubrey if she wants some, and Sayaka will start to dip in a piece herself.]

I'm having a blast, actually! ...It's weird how almost freeing this feels, funnily enough. It's so unrestrained here, and I love it.

[moodwrecker]

[Aubrey will not turn down the beef, that's for sure. Down the hatch it goes!]

I guess it probably helps if no one here even knows you.

[They can completely abandon their pasts here.]

[destage]

...It really does. Having a fanbase of over one hundred million people means you don't tend to get any sort of privacy from who you are to them.

It's...nice, actually. To just be. Heehee.

[moodwrecker]

...

Yeesh. Sounds horrible.

[Aubrey SUPER would not want that many eyes on her, thank you very much.]
