Shokugeki 1: Arrival a la coffin? [Video/Action]

[yukihira_soma]

Video

A redhaired teen sits on the edge of the Bay, video centered firmly on him to show off his ruffled red hair, a white headband around his forehead. "So...I'm going to assume this isn't some kind of Totsuki prank right? At least the hologram of that white girl is pretty well done for something that'd be just a prank. The name's Yukihira Soma nice to meet our esteemed kidnappers and whoever else is a kidnappee here."

The screen's background shifts as the boy apparently stands up, briefly showing off a leather case with a handle being picked up. "So...any place for a chef to get set up here?"

Action

Soma's making his way down the street, case held over his right shoulder by his right hand, what looks like a dried squid tentacle in his mouth as he walked. His eyes roamed the city as he moved, lingering on various restaurants and shops.

[Levy greets the phone with a smile.]

I guess I'm a kidnappee. My name's Levy, it's nice to meet you. There are a bunch of restaurants around town if you want to find a place to work. Otherwise go to the welcome center and see about running your own place.]

Re: Video

[yukihira_soma]

Nice too meet you too, Levy. Are we actually able to open our own restaurants here from the get go? That's a bit surprising.

[Not to mention the last restaurant he truly worked in was his pop's restaurant. He's learned a lot from others of course, but owning his own seemed a bit daunting when it comes to the costs and fees.]

[skilledwithwords]

I opened my own bookshop. I don't see why you can't open a restaurant.

[If it's what he really wants to do she doesn't see it as a problem.]

Re: Video

[yukihira_soma]

Is that so? Got any rare cookbooks for sale?

[Getting his own restaurant certainly would appeal to him since he can start up his father's restaurant again.]

Video

[skilledwithwords]

I don't know about rare but I do have a few cookbooks. Are you looking for appetizers or entries? I have one that's all about soup too.

[She'll have to find them but she knows that it's somewhere.]

You'll have to stop by the shop some time.

Re: Video

[yukihira_soma]

I'll take every one you have. Maybe in this place they've got different cuisine than normal. I'll learn anything to utilize it for myself.

[Fiddling with his pants, he pulls out a wad of those red bills.]

You guys use these here right? Heh, it's almost like the Totsuki Moon Banquet Festival again.

[Though he hopes it doesn't end with everything trying to change.]

[firefandance]

Well it depends. There are many places looking, but at the same time one can just go and open there own places. Surprisingly new arrivals can do it right away. It does make one wonder how they manage to do that without rent costs and such.

Re: video;

[yukihira_soma]

Hm...I hope they're not taking it out of our sales at the end of the day without telling us. Be a rather poor move. Do you know where we can go to get it set up?


Do you also know of a good place to stay until a place is built?

video;

[firefandance]

We just don't know. As for where you go there is a place you go to in order to set up.

However places aren't built the same way as you think. They just... well you choose where you want it and the building is already there. Some could even live where they work so long as it's has a place.

But if that isn't your cup of tea I have my inn which is free for the first week for new arrivals.

Re: video;

[yukihira_soma]

I see. That makes it really convenient to set up then! No need to wait. I'm used to having my own place on top of my restaurant. My pop's restaurant was like that, so it'll be just like it used to be.

I might take you up on that offer of an inn though. Be useful until I can find where I go to get a place set up.

video;

[firefandance]

Exactly, well almost since you aren't at home. But apart from that, it's good.

That's it purpose anyway, to at least be useful to people until they can find the best way for them to settle down.

Re: video;

[yukihira_soma]

Well, I guess I could consider this a sort of...odd working vacation from home?

[Honestly it just rings weird either way you look at it. But unless Soma could cooking contest his way back home, he's just going to swing with it.]

And I'd be glad to take you up on that stay at the inn. Maybe I could help cook for a bit while I'm there?

[He's walking for a little longer before he looks back up, confusion written on his face.] So....how do I get to your inn?

action;

[truesmiles]

[Fai had been rather busy most of the day in Everglade figuring out a few things and simply asking some questions to those who live there. So with a stretch and a yawn he was on his way home. However it wasn't long before he stopped and spotted the other out of the corner of his eye.]

Ah! Hello there, you must be a new arrival? If you are welcome~ I'm Fai D. Flourite and if you have questions I'll be happy to answer. Though there are limits to what I might be able to word of warning.

[He paused briefly looking at the squid.]

I guess you must love sea food, right?

Re: action;

[yukihira_soma]

[Soma simply turns at the greeting of the blonde man before him, an easygoing smile on his face.]

Don't go dissing the dried squid. It's packed full of flavor and its' good grilled or used to make a soup with.

[Just ask the Dorm Mother back home-...well I guess you couldn't, but it's still true!]

Got any idea where I can go to get a place to bunk or how to setup a shop?

action;

[truesmiles]

I wasn't dissing it, I asked if your liked sea food. Although...is it raw?

[Raw fish or raw seas food for him was just a big no.]

There is an inn near the Bay that lets people stay for free for a week. As for setting up a shop you go to a certain building which I can show you if you want.

Re: action;

[yukihira_soma]

I like all kinds of food really. Do you not like raw food? I could always grill some. [If he even had a portable grill on him in the first place.]

Ohh that'd be quite nice. I'd probably get lost here unless this communicator thingy has a map in it. Maybe GPS device?

action;

[truesmiles]

I am not a fan of raw fish for the most part. It's so slimy.

[He cannot help but shiver slightly even thinking about it.]

It doesn't, although there was a map on a stand when you first arrive though, did you not notice it.

Re: action;

[yukihira_soma]

Well dried squid isn't slimy since it's dried. It's more...soft texture really. Though if that still turns you off, there's always grilling it.

There was a map back there? I guess I missed it. Well it shouldn't be too bad walking around until I find a place to crash or wherever that building is.

SCREAMS AND SLAMS INTO THIS POST A WEEK LATE; video

[gastronomics]

[ This is so not fair. She and Ryo were going to take this place by storm now that she was here (she'd decided as much) and now the competition was showing up. What kind of timing was this? Well.. at least it'd make things interesting. He can just enjoy a video of her waving like a little shit. ]

It's a huge prank.

Re: SCREAMS AND SLAMS INTO THIS POST A WEEK LATE; video

[yukihira_soma]

[Oh hey, it was Alice. Now that might have made it being a prank more easy, but....well...he doubts she'd shove him in a coffin just to prank him.]

I don't know. I don't think you could get all this set up so quickly you know.

[He's being relatively nonchalant about it even as he's waving back, a wry grin on his face.]

Nice to see you Alice. I'm Guessing, Kurokiba's somewhere close by?

[Wait...on that thought...] How many others from Totsuki are here?

[gastronomics]

I think it's just the two of us unless someone's been hiding.

[ Which would be totally unfair. Alice likes attention and she doesn't get it here!! Not yet anyway. BUT SHE WILL. ]

[yukihira_soma]

I don't really know if anyone would be hiding in a place like this. Then again I only just got here so I didn't even know you were here.

[He's laughing a bit to himself again as he continues looking around as he walks down the street.]

So, what have you been up to since you ended up here?

[gastronomics]

I haven't been here for long enough to properly settle in yet either.

[ AKA she's been mooching off of Ryo and continually wasting his money on challenging him to food fights. :| She'll get to actually getting a job soon, but there's nothing really... worthy here. Besides Ryo's ramen cart and he's her servant, not the other way around so. ]

Video

[kyoken]

Yukihira. [Why is he not surprised that he would end up here.] There are a lot of places hiring chefs.

Re: Video

[yukihira_soma]

Kurokiba.

[Soma's not one to really pull off looking intimidating like Kurokiba can. Enjoy him just waving a few seconds later.]

Yeah? I'm more looking into seeing about starting up my own restaruant. You want to come along and work for me?
