Winter, December 31st - Minutes to Midnight
Who: Ayame Sasaki and her friends, and friends of friends.
What: Small party, waiting for the New Year.
When: New Year's Eve, dinner time.
Where: The shrine at Amatsu Inn.
Warnings: N/A, this is a lighthearted log. People can leave top-levels and mingle if they want!
Ayame sent an invitation to those she knows, even the ones she only met once and only spoke with through the network but only her friends were allowed to bring others along should they wish. She offered to celebrate the coming year in her domain at Amatsu Inn, where the ladies who work and live in Amatsu will receive furisode to wear. She prepared a massive feast for days in advance. Mostly so Yuyuko wouldn't eat the guests' food, so Ayame's ghostly girlfriend has her own tables worth of delicacies. Even clearly labeled "For Yuyuko only".
Her guests are treated to a plethora of dishes from varying cultures; starting from boxes of Japanese osechi, Chinese-styled steamed dumplings and meat buns, along with spring rolls. Baked and stir-fried vegetables and roasted meats from pork, to beef, chicken, fish, and ducks are available to go with different types of rice and noodles. Desserts from custards, to bean paste filled breads, to sticky rice cakes. She spared no expense, and even if it made a serious dent in her wallet and sacrificed hours of socializing to make these Ayame feels satisfied to have just made all of it.
Ayame can be seen in an elaborate furisode of her own creation, even turning Himiko into a puppy that could fit inside a purse, just so the gigantic husky wouldn't trample on the table legs. A red Maine Coon cat and a white munchkin cat relax along the rails of the shrine. The host and inn-keeper herself would be approaching her guests, greeting and welcoming them. She says to the ones who are visiting from outside:
"Hello, welcome to Amatsu. I'm glad you could join us! Please, there's food and drinks by the shrine. There's plenty for everyone enjoy yourselves."
To those who live or work at the inn, she is more relaxed and casual in her approach, smiling and complimenting them after a quick glance from top to bottom:
"You look ready to leave this year behind in style. Come, join us by the shrine"

"Yeah, please teach me!" Konoka clenched her fists in that determined shounen manga protagonist post. "If it'll further my ability to help others, I want to learn it!"
...but then she remembered that this was a New Year celebration and let out a nervous giggle. "Ahhh... after the New Year celebrations, of course. Can't concentrate on it now."
no subject
"Very well" she accepted, patting Konoka on the shoulder and nodding. "After the elections, should I win or lose, I will teach you what I know"
In the meantime, Ayame is just okay with relaxing with Konoka, waiting for the New Year to come. She picks up her plate to eat her food, still warm even if it sat out in the cold thanks to her power.

"I wanna ask, where did you learn the recipe? I might want to try cooking this myself." It would be a nice change of pace for her own cooking as well.
As it neared midnight, Konoka went to get the sake, and poured it into a sake dish, for the old fashioned way. "Chilled by the night air. It's perfect!" She said after the first sip.

She'll likely forget it. Especially now that she's distracted by the sight of Konoka taking a step further into becoming a true Japanese lady by ingesting some good sake. Ayame pats and rubs Konoka's back in pride.
"Or we could cook something together sometime. I thought about that... Have a cooking party of some sort"
no subject
"That sounds great!" Konoka cheered. "Maybe I can finally take cooking meats to the next level. Maybe even like a shounen manga!"
Something about Ayame patting her back so proudly made her giggle. She could probably guess why. "Hey, me drinking isn't a new thing, you know. We drank together earlier this year!" Though she had to avoid some near lethal alcohol in the process.
