A much more funky, swanky joint than the original Edible Creations, this is where people now go to hang out, get drunk, and party till the police come knocking at how loud it is at that time of night!
Piss off, Police! This here be Edible...Creations...Two!
The building is quite large, with more than four floors with different pleasures such as gambling, wrestling, and boxing. The first floor is for drinking, filled with twenty tables of varying shapes and sizes, along with a stage for dancing and a large space for patrons to play music and such. The bar is always busy and there is always swanky music playing, with all types of drinks that are being updated with new types of alcohol every week, some created by the patrons themselves. If one word could describe this place it would be "loud".

"Life can be as cold as I can be."
Kazumi walked into the bar with Viktor's arm still around her shoulder, chuckling from some pleasant conversation they had had on the way there. She took a seat at one of the vacant tables and looked around, wondering what to say or do. (OOC: Seriously guys, next to no description and no clue XD help!"
Viktor, an arm around Kazumi's shoulder, chuckles a bit as he enters the bar. Apparently what he'd said was funny, because Kazumi was chuckling as well. As the two enter the bar, the male wrinkles his nose as the only sign of his minor disgust. His sense of smell was unnaturally strong, and the combination of sweat and dozens of different alcoholic drinks left a bad taste in his mouth. This was why he usually didn't go out to eat, but since Kazumi had asked him and she was his friend he had gone on ahead. He figured that when he got a few drinks into him he would forget the smell though, so things should be fine soon for his poor nose... probably. For now though, Viktor makes sure to sit as close beside Kazumi as he can get away with, an arm still around her shoulder. She smelled much better than the rest of the bar. Then again, ANYONE would smell better than this place to his sensitive nose, but that was beside the point. Viktor brings his free hand - the right one - up to his mouth to cover up a yawn and says, "it's been a while since I've come to one of these. Even longer since I had a drink. Hopefully I won't be getting drunk immediately. That would be rather embarrassing." He chuckles a bit, remembering the last time he'd gone to a bar with his older sister. He'd gotten a bit cocky in his ability to hold his liquor and ended up making a complete fool of himself after he got drunk. A drunk, twelve-year-old Viktor was... well, let's just say the boy was glad he couldn't remember anything about that night. It was at least bad enough that Tomoko had made him promise to not drink again until he became a genin. Now that he was, he could drink as much as he wanted. He planned to make up for lost time.

"Life can be as cold as I can be."
Kazumi's smile couldn't be more genuine at the sight of everything around her, people-watching each person who walked around the bar or sat down. Many people were paired off in two's, smiling and laughing loudly with one another while others were paired off in larger groups. Noting most of the pairs close to each other, Kazumi accepted it as natural for the bar when Viktor kept an arm around her and sat almost touching her. Afterall, there was something soothing about it which Kazumi found intoxicating to her as she rested and watched. The alluring waitresses and handsome waiters carried around trays with regular glasses filled by dark liquid or small glasses by clear liquid; the custom seemed to be that, after clinking the glasses together to sounds of cheers and elation, they would drink it very fast or even all in one gulp if they were having the small glasses.The drinks simply had to be delicious to want to down them as fast as they did, and the thought made Kazumi smile all the more as Viktor's yawn brought her attention back to him. "Well, I guarantee you it's been longer since I've come to one of these," Kazumi replied bashfully and softly, knowing well that she would get drunk quickly unless she had beginner's luck on her first time. "Perhaps there's a favorite drink of yours you can recommend?" Kazumi asked sweetly as she snuggled into her seat and Viktor's grasp around her shoulders.
Viktor scratches the back of his head as he laughs, face slightly red to show his embarrassment, "don't worry Kazumi. If you get wasted somehow, then I'll just walk you home and go get your brother for you. As for my a favorite drink... I've got nothing. Every time I came here with Tomoko - uh, that's my... adoptive sister I guess you can say - I just drank whatever she ordered for me." He falls silent for a while, as he is thinking about what they could possibly order. His embarrassment is saved when the bartender stops in front of him, a smile on the old man's face. He leans against the counter and says to who he believes to be a couple, "well if it isn't Viktor Banciu! You're Tomoko's little brother. I haven't seen you in a bar in years!" Viktor raises an eyebrow and, confused, looks up at laughing man. He doesn't exactly know what to say because his memory is failing him, but eventually a look of realization comes across his face as he finally remembers who the guy is... then a look of horror as the memory of the last time he had been at a bar comes to his mind as well. This man had worked at the bar he last went to... oh God, "AHHHHHH!" he jumps up, leans forward, and whispers in the guys ear, "the events of that one night shall never be repeated! Getting drunk at twelve was the stupidest thing I've ever done." He sits back down in his seat next to Kazumi, their hips touching and his arm back around her shoulders. The bartender laughs even more and braces his hands against their table as he leans on it, "Oh I see. You don't want to embarrass yourself in front of your girl," at this a quiet, weak, halfhearted "she's not my girl" escapes the blushing Viktor's mouth but he does nothing more to disprove the man who continues on as if he had said nothing, "in any case I know what you'll be getting, but I've never seen your girl here, or at any other bar I've worked at before. I can give you a few suggestions if you need them miss. It is my job to help the customers after all." As the bartender is talking to Kazumi, Viktor busies himself by sniffing the air. It was a game he sometimes liked to play. Sniff the air in a place with multiple different scents and try to distinguish them all. It was a great way to train his nose and tracking abilities. There was vodka... beer... sweat... what was this smell though? This scent was completely new to the boy's nose. It came from a far corner of the bar where a man and a woman were sitting by themselves. It seemed to be coming from the woman. She was doing something over there, but he couldn't see. The smell was obviously coming from her but... Viktor's face turns a dangerous shade of red as realization about something else hits him again. Needless to say, he decides to stop playing his little game and simply waits for Kazumi and the bartender to finish talking.

-----Wanryoku had lagged behind due to his massive weight, but Kaileer had been very kind to stay behind to walk with him. The travel had been silent but that suited Wanryoku for the moment quite well, oddly, so he did not complain. As he marched up to the Edible Arrangements he remembered the first time he had ever been here, the first day he had arrived at this village. Due to how his old home had been designed he always assumed the bar was the place to go when looking for information about a new place, as there you get to see the worst the village can offer and, sometimes, the best. When he had arrived he had instead met with fear, anger, and challenge, and had ended with him breaking most of the tables and knocking out most of the bar patrons during the ensuing brawl. After that the regulars always paid for his drinks, and thus he had become well known not only for his strength but his ability to consume alcohols that were listed somewhere near the "poisonous" side of the drink spectrum.
----- So when he walked in, there were momentous cheers from all sides, raised cups, sloshing of drinks and loud, bugling cries from those too inebriated to use actual language.
----- Raising his fist in the air to these cries, Wanryoku bore their admiration with pride, silently and humbl-wait, humbly? Oh, hell no! He dropped Zangai to the side, cracking the floor there, and raised both fists in the air before letting out a thunderous "WOOOOOOOOOOOO!" before gyrating his hips and generally showboating, much to the laughter and amusement of all within the establishment. Laughing uproarously, he picked up his brother and moved for the table the other two had arrived at first, taking one of the larger, sturdier chairs nearby and using it as his stool. placing the ball down beside him, carefully this time, he looked at the two gathered and grinned. "My home away from home!" When there were cheers and "That's right!"'s from about the room he chuckled good humoredly. Then he realized there was disgust one Viktor's face, and he had to comment on that, except he had to first know where it was being directed, and so followed with his gaze.
----- Were those people doing that here?!
----- Reaching over to a round table nearby, Wanryoku picked up the table and stood in one smooth motion, pivoting with about half his strength and frisbeeing the table over the crowd to smash, and shatter, above the heads of the two "lovers". His eyes were angry as he sat back down, though due to his height he still towered over most of those standing. "Enough! Children here! Go to room!"

-----тhe walk across the village was actually pretty comfortable, aside from the fact I was following a ten foot giant who moved about as fast as molasses. The other two had gone ahead of us, and I got to see a calmer side of Wanryoku I hadn't seen yet. For once he wasn't breaking anything, and he was quiet, which he seemed perfectly fine with. -----That lasted until we entered the bar. Almost instantly chaos erupted, but it was with cheers of welcoming, not of terror. Evidently he had been here before, which didn't surprise me, and they'd probably heard him coming from about a mile away. -----The reek of booze had hit me before we walked through the door, but I barely kept myself from turning around once inside. It wasn't like I hadn't experienced alcohol before. I'd had a sip or two of saké in the past, but that had been outside in a small amount. With it all condensed into one place, the smell was overwhelming. I was surprised Kazumi's tamer friend could stand it. -----Then Wanryoku's moment of peace shattered in about the same way as glass as he dropped the wrecking ball and, to be frank, broke the ground. My heart leaped to my throat, and I about jumped out of my skin. He started shouting, and I took that opportunity to weasel around him. I made my way to the table Kazumi and Viktor sat at, keeping my head low to avoid garnering any attention. It was the only moment of sanity I was probably going to have that evening before the giant finished making his presence known and joined us. -----I sunk down in the chair, realizing how nice it was to sit after a day of training, and leaned forward onto the table, arms stretched out in front of me. It was too loud to bother trying to say anything. -----I got my hopes up that it had finally ended when Wanryoku settled into a chair, miraculously not breaking it, but again that lasted only a breath. Suddenly the giant stood again and, picking up a table, flung it at one of the corners of the room. Wide-eyed, I stared between the massive man and the corner. The couple just below where it had hit needless to say looked startled and clearly were doing something they shouldn't have. I wrinkled my nose in disgust and looked up at Wanryoku when he sat back down. "I'm pretty sure there are more civil ways of dealing with things like that than trying to kill someone..." Myself included in that. At the rate things were going, I was going to keel over from a heart attack by the end of the night.

"Life can be as cold as I can be."
Kazumi relaxed further into Viktor's arm with his insurance of walking her home and finding her brother if she got wasted, the nervousness of accidentally going past her limits slowly fading away. Her curiosity soon replaced her nervousness at the sound of a woman named Tomoko who Viktor quickly skipped over, making Kazumi wring her hands for a moment before the bartender saved both of them from their own emotions. Her friend seemed to be more famous than she thought, however, from first the bartenders reaction then Viktor's jump as she sprang up from her own seat. Their whispering put her on high alert, and as they both sat back down, Kazumi stared at Viktor with an inquisitive look. Famous at bars, nervous jumping up, an unknown adoptive sister, and now the bartender didn't want to embarrass Viktor in front of his-- Whaaaaat? His girl? The next words blurted out loudly with her looking stunned, "No, no no no...I'm his friend..." Viktor might have been nice to her and her brother. She might even be interested. But no...no no no, far too fast. Slow down. Slow down!
Her illusion of being casually out with a friend shattered into a million pieces as the arm on her shoulder became like a heavy weight pushing her down. The bartender was talking to her, but she heard none of it as she looked around. She at last noticed that every single paired off group of two people were acting like couples, and as Viktor sniffed out a particular couple in a corner of the bar, her eyes followed his and opened up wider than they had ever been. Were they....having relations in the bar? Did all couples here do that? Did Viktor want---No, absolutely not. There was no way she could do that here, or there, or that night, or even that year! What was Viktor thinking saying it only halfheartedly that she wasn't his girl? Was this his intention all along, to get in her...? Kazumi leaned forward and rested her arms on the table and her forehead in her hands, clearly looking weary already as the bartender continued rambling. All those words fell on deaf ears. She could only feel the weight of the arm around her shoulder. She could only hear the sound of her own nervous heartbeat. Where was Kaileer? Where was Wanryoku?
As if on queue, a large uproar broke through the sound of her heartbeat. The place erupted in cheers and Kazumi looked up to see the men she considered the saviors from her current situation. She stood up with the rest of the crowd, clapping and laughing both genuinely and in relief, swept away in the amazingly fun ruckus. She saw Kaileer with him and flashed the boy a wide grin before giving both of them an open armed cheer in response to Wanryoku's response to the crowd and showboating. The giant had mentioned that this was his home away from home, and if that was so, what an awesome home he had. Kazumi followed Wanryoku's eyes and the moments of bliss came as fast as they had came as the giant threw a table at the crazy couple in the corner. Kazumi looked away and sat down quickly in her chair, although this time without Viktor's arm around her shoulder, and placed her head in her hands again as she watched the table hit right above the couple.
Kaileer had either the couple's health or civility in mind, and Kazumi liked that. Her primary concern though was how much she must have wounded Kaileer earlier, and alas! The wound on Kaileer was caused for Viktor, who might just really want in her pants now that she thought about it. Viktor still seemed nice, maybe it was just all in her head and he just got caught....maybe not. Maybe he could really just want arm candy. Maybe he could just...ugh, she needed to stop thinking But what could she do? The only thing she could do was look at Kaileer and mouth "I'm so sorry...I didn't know...I had no clue..." as she shook her head. She needed an out or for those moments of bliss to happen again as she thought back to what her dad used to do to make himself happy when he was down. She had heard him mention something about a stiff drink, whatever that was. Usually by the time her father that same stiff drink, he was a lot happier than he had been. He even danced with her while he was in that mood, and it made her smile once more. She wanted to be happy like him anyway. She guessed that this was the time to make it happen, especially with the current circumstances. "I think we should all have a stiff drink! What are your favorites?" Kazumi blurted out with an unusual enthusiasm and smiled at the two newly assembled friends. She then noticed that she had done so and shrank a little bit, "Not...not that I'm...I'm nervous or any...I just want to drink what you li..." her voice trailed off as she knew that she seemed weird at that moment, and just wanted her friends to not think her crazy.
Viktor turns as there is the sound of cheering and the people around him proceed to stand and cheer for... Wnaryoku. For some reason, he wasn't surprised that guy was popular at bars. He seemed to be the type who enjoyed a drink. At his showboating, Viktor just rolls his eyes and remains seated as he turns to his drink. Beer. Yup. Just a normal beer. Viktor didn't like a lot of the fancy stuff. When he went drinking he usually just got a good beer. The sweeter things were just weird to him. He sighs and is about to take a drink when the loud noise of a table smashing against the wall. Eyebrow raised, his smiling face turns to Wanryoku, "you know what dude? I... think you and I might definitely get along. That kind of s**t should only be done in the bedroom anyways. Besides, violence is usually the fun way of doing things," he chuckles lightly, his voice noticeably softer and meeker than it had been when it was just him and Kazumi. He didn't know either of the newcomers as well as Kazumi, but he figured that the best way to get to know them was to have a few drinks with them. That was generally how it went anyways. Viktor shifts his eyes over to Kazumi, who seemed... troubled about something? He tries to think of what it could be but... nope. Nothing came to mind. Nothing at all. Unless... his face pales as he imagines the possibility that she thought he would want to do something like... that. So this is why Tomoko always told me never to take a girl to a bar on a first date... this isn't exactly a date of course, but I'll still remember to always take her advice seriously in the future. Maybe he was trying too hard. Sighing a bit, he grabs his glass and stands up. Color slowly returning to his face in the form of an embarrassed blush, he takes a few steps away from the others until he is a few feet farther off from them. Some might not like that, but Viktor was used to it. He leans against the bar and is about to bring the glass to his lips, when he is again interrupted by Kazumi's outburst. He looks down at his glass... then back at her... at his glass... back at her... "curse my kindness," he mutters, sliding his glass across to her. "Uh, try this. It's just beer but... if you're not a big fan of sweet things like me then you should like it good enough," Viktor says this slightly louder than a mumble then crosses his arms and decides to let Kazumi and her other friends catch up. He was new to the group of friends so it wasn't like there was anything new he could offer to a conversation. I have to get drunk. If I don't I'll die, I really will. Maybe I shouldn't have come. I'd probably have been better off just staying at the dojo and training by myself. Great, Viktor was happening one of those episodes of insane self-doubt when he got nervous again. Modesty was supposed to be a good thing, but sometimes he thought he had way too much of it. As he is thinking, another glass of beer is placed beside him to replace the one he had given to Kazumi. Quietly he says, "bring me the whole bottle... make that two bottles," then picks the glass up and immediately downs the whole thing. If Viktor couldn't get rid of his self-confidence issues himself he would fix it with alcohol. He was the happy kind of drunk anyways.

-----In truth, Wanryoku had only stopped the situation due to everyone else being here. In his home such things were often lauded, for it showed virility. But here he knew that such things were not only discouraged but were also highly illegal in their own right. What this meant for him was entirely anyone's guess, but considering should he have actually had relations with anyone here, judging by their size, he would have been arrested for physical assault and battery, if not murder. Well, with that cheery thought in mind the giant turned to Kaileer and noticed his discomfort. Could it honestly be that this was his first time in a bar? From the way he twitched whenever someone came near it become more than simply likely, it became certain. This was his first time anywhere such as this, as it appeared it was for at least Kazumi as well. Chuckling at his lack of understanding and care at the original signs, he raised a hand and called for something powerful for himself and the weakest for Kazumi and Kaileer.
----- As they were brought, Wanryoku explained the slightly red tinted frothing water that was placed before Kazumi and Kaileer, for their drinks were easier and thus came faster than his. "Drink weaker than anything, close to water. Still give sign of drink, but after many, many cups." He pointed to Kaileer with a giant sausage of a finger and fixed him with an even stare. "For your size. Not mine." He then turned to Viktor with a smirk and sat back in his chair, ignoring the threatening and tortured creak as the wood fought to adjust itself to his size. "I ask now, before drink. Do you fight when filled with drink?" This was what worried him. He had plans for the night, honestly, and if either of the two were fighting types this could mean terrible business. And a hefty fine from his checkbook.
----- There was a muffled grunt from beside Kaileer and Wanryoku, and the giant wreckingball seemed to quiver for a few moments, as if in laughter. Wanryoku's gaze snapped to it with a glare that would wither steel. "Silence, brother."
----- This really only seemed to make the ball quiver more.

-----αbout the only one that seemed to be enjoying themselves was Wanryoku. Kazumi was still stressing out about something, as was shown by her mouthing that she was sorry. I couldn't help but snort at Kazumi's sudden outburst though. I grinned back at her, but that smile quickly fell off my face when Viktor stepped away from the table. He stared at the cup in his hand for a moment before handing it to Kazumi. -----So now he was going to be antisocial? He seemed well enough off before, so why the sudden change? In fact, he almost seemed depressed. I gestured to him. "Oi, we don't bite. Well, I don't anyway." Both of them were thinking far too much about the situation. "We're here to enjoy ourselves, right? So throw away your concerns and have fun." -----I hadn't even noticed Wanryoku had ordered something until cups were placed in front of both Kazumi and I. I lowered my hand again and gave the cup a sniff. It didn't smell much like anything, and Wanryoku confirmed it by stating it was barely more than water. I still didn't want it, so I just ignored it and turned my attention back to the table in general, taking that opportunity to get a better look at them again. -----Viktor I knew the least about, which wasn't really saying much since I'd just met all three of them. He was apparently a tamer, from the dog he'd had with him earlier. I hadn't seen his pet since then, which seemed a bit unusual but I wasn't going to complain. He was tall and well built, quite a bit bigger than I was, but there was also something like a four or five year difference between us. From his reaction to the red haired jounin earlier, he was quick to fight, just like me. He seemed like a pretty laid back guy otherwise, so the sudden change in his mood was strange -----Kazumi was quite a bit taller than I was too, and thinly built. Definitely not the fighting type. I had determined from our meeting--when she tripped over me--that she was in the medical field just by her reaction to the event. -----My thoughts were disrupted when a sound came from the wrecking ball on the floor behind Wanryoku and I. I thought it might have been it shifting, but something was making it vibrate. Then the giant told the ball to be quiet, and that it was his brother. I'd heard him say that earlier, but it still didn't make any sense. I wasn't going to question it. I turned my gaze back to the table. "Well, none of us really know each other, so the only way we will is if we talk."

After a long day of training, Black would feel famished an unearthly hungered. As if his belly held a bottomless gulf, the muzzle inside of his being growled. Alas, aching and roaring like brontide of an impending storm, the young white haired shinobi of the Cloud caressed his abdomen. He was in the state of virulence, well; to food he packed the vile traits for. Wondering into the edible creation facility, a tired shinobi sighed with a wisp. Yawned with a semi lisp in groveling and murmuring, his inner wishes that was thick like avarice's wishes. The scenery, a sweet and serene beauty. Yet, it was nothing he was accustom to. It sported a entirely different new sweater, with more colors than that of the actual coat. Those colors being the many restaurants, and that sweater being the reconstructed calamity that once was bestowed upon this land. Holding Black to stare aimlessly into such a plane.
The sounds of accelerate motion tagging behind his Achilles alerted him, the noise of squeaking bringing a heart warming smile to his face that was one to die for. Well, at least for the female company watching the shirtless Kaiser Fist specialist roam. A dried tongue extending and sliding itself across his lips, and trying to taste for what little damp or humidity that lingered in the air; Black would stumble upon the sweet aroma of deserts and other pastries and poultry like products swiftly floating around. Such a scent held even he enslaved by such blissful smells, and his three little red brothers; whom of which were carrying his jacket ever so meticulously. Despite the hot day, it seemed they held better ideas for such a large piece of clothing. For it held them under shade and away from the beaming sun. Each little cub looking up with their light brown beaded eyes, with a small grin on their face. Heads shot from left, to right. Eyes averted ecstatic and in anticipation, for they felt a meal was just as near as the big brothers foot in front of their faces.'' So.. Big Bro.. Are ye.. Going..! On..! A date..?! With! Miss! Leafy?! ''
Each one said, Rin starting it, then Tin, and then Jin. One at a time they would speak, and then a conjunction of their speech mingling in with one another arose just like that. Like telepaths, the three young ones looked up towards Black with a curious stare. Black's eyes blinking and staring forward.'' .... I-I don't think so..? '' A curious lift of the eyebrow, and fuzzed up red cheeks that sided behind his white, pure, and enchanting bangs. If only he sported a tie today, he would be constantly affixing it.'' Sure you are! You asked her out! You sly storm bear you! Let us help you! '' One could only imagine as the little ones teased, how fast his face began to blemish the red spots across his nose and under eyes. The three, in a state of alacrity, yet his aghast. Black would finally reach the small restaurant joint, that held a vary of dish styles and excellent cuisines. Taking a seat on the stand, he would turn his back to stare dimly towards the outside. His expression not much changing, for he had discovered he may have created an actual date..
'' Uh oh.. What if she mistook my words.. What if she doesn't show up.. Ah crud, did I really mess this gathering up that badly..? '' Sounds of rustling and a cool summer breeze flowed in between his silk hairs, and under his muscular crevices. The three red cubs gathering and hopping up on the table, he so carefully leaned up against. Each of them sighing just after Black, one by one, and all casting a relaxing stare except their big brother. He held much of a nervous and embarrassed one, here he was inviting the gal he just fought to a nice meal and did not once, did he think of actually making it as something such as a date. The shaking started to settle in partially, and his bottom lip being slightly nipped against by his upper cuspids. The shinobi was only being an utmost righteous follower of altruism. A small stag of static beginning to form around the ends of his silk textures, and a ambrosial scent picking up its space. This leading to the shinobi's calmness to kick in. A state of equanimity had finally surfaced, and just like that; he had waited patiently, with less panic..

Doki had left the hospital some minutes back. At least, while they tried to fix her nose to the best of their ability, it was still slightly bruised. So a white patch was over the bridge of it. At least now she'd be able to breathe and not look like some boot leg panda. Man.. Stars and comets were still quietly clashing at the back of her head while mosshead continued to recall that five finger flashout punch. She winced while her fingers gently ran a feel-check over her nose just from the memory. Man. Pink clouds of affection swirled around her cheeks despite her slight anguish. "Love a man who could punch my lights like that..." She mumbled, chuckling to herself. Doki wasn't one to wear her heart on her sleeve. She used to but now it was different. Her heart was in a dome. Confessions were a thing of a past because now it just moved back and forth in her ears. Tch. Got to give it to him though, he's got a good fist.
At any rate, she remembered her promise. And as much as she didn't really want to confront him again after their last meeting where her mind was in a state of shambles, Doki at least remembered that this would still be a promise. Mature enough to realize that it's not just her own guilt but also his, she guided herself to arrive at the new Edible Creations. And at the new bar of all places. Bahahaha! A mischievous look already settled on the girl's less than angelic features. People probably thought that her lips were virgin against the taste of alcohol. Why else did they think she could be an Adviser without breaking? Bubbles were there to erode her troubles.
At any rate, she stopped to look around. No one was outside, only then it occurred to her that she ought to turn around. And when she did, Doki had seen the back of Black in his new chic apparel as well as the backs of three small pandas. Her face turned to complete s**t but damn, as long as she was living, Doki had to keep to her word. Calmly composing herself first, she entered and took a seat beside him. Though afraid of exploring, Doki only looked ahead, not really sparing him more than a few glances. "I almost didn't recognize you--again. Haha~ I wonder what's good on the menu..." Quickly she flapped out a menu and buried her face in it, literately. Somehow, showing her face was gonna be a bit difficult. Ugh...I can't look too cruddy...he actually looks nicer today than usual. Doki, was just in her usual street apparel.. For once in her life, she wondered if she should have taken this meeting more seriously than the others.
Relaxing with a cooled outlet, Black sighed in relief and started to notice the scenery becoming chiller. Looking around and casting his sights left and right for the green haired combatant, he found none of such descriptions. When turning to have his back against the world, his little brothers mimicking him and all of the four together yawn; Black started to pat his lips as a sign of retaliation from a drowse stage arriving. Then it happened. The sounds of foot steps, and the sound of a familiar voice. Dashing bright hues revealed themselves, as if trying to give a show for all their potential; for they glimmered within the light that was nearest to them. All three of the little ones each oh'ing at the sight of the green haired gal arrival.'' It's the leaf lady! She's here! Told you she would come.. Didnt we?! '' They each said one after another, and then together. As Doki sat next to Black, the three would all crawl up the table and look towards her; noticing her battle marks. Three sets of eyes blinked together and all of their paws lifted to their faces. Walking on their hind legs to the now buried into the menu Doki, they would place their little paws on top of the menu and pull it down some to peak over it.'' Hey Rin and Jin, don't she look similar to grandpand-?! Ow! Ow! Ow!''
Tin would begin to speak to his brothers, when all of a sudden a wild flick arrived on all three of their heads. Each little tyke holding their heads with their little paws and murmuring in slight pain. Black would look nervously forwards, all in the mean time and gulp picking up his menu.'' What made you barely re-recognize me..? As for the menu.. I'm not sure, this is my first time coming here..'' Timid, yet peaceful and positive to the core, it held warmth and a playful; yet, nervous edge to it. Rin, Tin, and Jin would all start to scurry towards Black and pounce onto him. One to three would claim a specific spot on him, being his shoulders and scalp. The storm shinobi would relax in his seat with his elbows resting upon the table; a slight lean and sink down as he saw she was doing the same exact thing. Maybe she did not want to come..? Were his thoughts, though he could not let that slow him down just yet; he had still yet to catch up with her. Thus, leading to him lifting his head out of the menu to look her way.'' Are you okay by the way..? You are kind of.. Into the menu... Something the matter Kiki? '' An aghast expression strung and took him over at an insanely quick pace, having him almost fall out of his seat from the jolting.
He was clearly moving a unintentional move too fast and had already given her a nickname that was unique as opposed to the rest, one that may have been a bit too girly for her tastes, though only time and her response would explain so.'' Well.. I'll let you know now, order what you like.. I am paying for it all.. Besides, I wanted to ask you about what were you doing the past year? '' Sniffing and smiling with his face following with a expression of the most glee to it. However, this led to Black looking back at the menu; such hieroglyphics had passed his sight as a child, having been raised for other purposes and not exactly in the academic one.. Where ebonics, and or phonics were a lesson he was taught.''......'' Straying his way to not look like an complete imbecile, Black would ask Doki.'' H-hey ummm.. You mind reading the menu off.. Something you would recommend that you are familiar with..?'' With a nervous grin, he stared towards her covered by menu face and chuckled lightly under his breath.

What the--?! She looked up at whoever huddled in her face, tipping her menu folder over. Only to give the three little panda brothers her expression of ugly surprise. Before she could say much, the adorable yet mischievous trio were quickly put in place by Black. Subtle shock was in her colorful face, for she had not expected him to have that kind of side to him. In a way, it further flared her current impression of him and so she snooped back to the menu. Grandpand--? A sudden cloud of depression swam over her head. Ah...so that's how it is... She just wanted to kill herself in this identity crisis.
When he asked how she wasn't able to re-identify him for the third time-- Doki only muttered incoherent words. By now, over half the people in this village knew of Doki's lack of observation whenever it came to appearance and change. Simply put...she wasn't even gonna explain her shameful eyes. But as usual, Doki held little chagrin. The tone of his voice was pleasant, though she felt a bit bad because he almost sounded forced. Before addressing to the menu, she quickly sat up and flattened the menu down. Then turned to him, grabbing his shoulder with a determined expression. "Before I do, I just want to tell you to not feel bad about our last spar. You got me good, and I respect that. And being injured is a part of growing up--so I'm actually proud, haha!" She added, surprisingly having a hoot over it with sincerity as she then pointed to her nose to add in the comedic effect.
He then referred to her as-- Actually, Kiki? She turned around, stifling a bit of a laugh. He must have been shooken up if he had to mess her name up or something. Though, Doki thought of it as adorable. The name itself even. Now that was a first. Just thinking about being called Cabbage head or Lettuce Lady made Kiki sound like a gift from God. Clearing her throat as if to maintain some level of professionalism, she answered to his statement of handling the bill. "I was just..looking at the special. And it's fine, I shouldn't impose, so I'm paying for my half." Two years ago, the younger Doki would have been ecstatic. To be asked out to eat with a very handsome person-- Ohh, she recalled her romantic day dreams. But her failed crushes had forged her like an iron statue when it came to the journey of love. It wasn't to say that her old self was completely eroded but...she was just more thoughtful of things. Pfft! Psyche! I'm getting me some free food~ I don't know when I'm gonna get my next check! And just like that, her professionalism disappeared as the green haired girl then turned around to give him a thumbs up. "But you did kinda punch my beautiful face, so yeaaaaaaaaah~!! I'll let you pay this time!!~" She said it a bit butch-like, but also in a good natured joke.
Anyhow, she got off to reading off the list. Explaining to him in gists that most or some of the beverages contained some amount of alcohol or were alcohol as well as the topping additions to them such as fruit or sugared drinks. Though she just enjoyed regular sake. "I guess I'll get the Rice Wine. It's kinda strong but, I enjoy the taste and the brew cold. They also serve it hot." The concentration of it though, was fairly high. But she often requested it to be handled with care at different joints. Today, she didn't really seem to mind. Though the alcohol content was often near 10-20 percent. D'ahh well. Her sense of responsibility sorta went to s**t these past few years. That, and the Adviser could handle her alcohol fairly well. She knew her limit so she just didn't have to get stupid. "I'll also order a side dish...~" And she pointed at one in particular just out of habit. It was a picture, and it showed a platter full of Vietnamese shrimp rolls. Her eyes suddenly became three's.
Oh Black. If only he knew that the person he was accompanying was no typical female. She turned back to him. Trying her best to keep an gentle expression without looking too nervous. Though, she had to look away from his eyes quite frequently. Having her nose bleed her brain out now would kill her in her current state. So she found the perfect distractions. Rin, Tin, and Jin. "What about them? Did they already eat?" It was kinda silly and not so silly to suggest that his um...animal familiars--should eat at a bar? It was up to him, really. Though it was just her suggestion, and slight attempt to make the mood laxer. Truthfully, she was still pretty guilty.
