[ It has been a while or maybe not, but when the feed clicks on - and it's never an accident with this man - what comes up is a close-up of a cup with a milky liquid and a couple of rolls. The rolls look fresh, the liquid looks sort of like skim milk. Some where in the background, Takegami sighs and there's his hand in view, picking up the cup out of camera range. ]

Sake wa hyakuyaku no cho...

[ The cup reappears and is refilled. Takegami toys with the cup and then starts speaking in English. ]

They say that sake was first made when a warrior tried to save his bride from a dragon. In order to lure him away, the warrior took rice and fresh spring water and boiled it together until sake was made. The dragon grew intrigued by the smell and came to sip the brew. While the dragon drank his fill, the warrior and bride were reunited. The dragon was so sated by the sake that he did not give them chase and the couple was able to live peacefully for all their lives.

[ Again the cup disappears as there is a pause in the narrative. The cup is set down with a sharp click and is refilled, and again a pause in-between cupfuls. Takegami's fingers are covered with half-healed scratches, his nails cut short, and the rings on each finger twisted into fine knots. ]

It is the drink of new beginnings and of fond farewells. We drink it under the cherry trees in spring, we bring the finest brew for the newly weds to drink on their first night, and we drink it for births and to celebrate those that had passed before us. There are holidays where we would crack open the barrels it seeps in, there are holidays where we toast the new-born sun. Some medicines are made more potent by soaking in it, and it always with good cheer we raise a cup to each other over our evening meals.

[ The cup is raised out of sight once more and he sighs softly. ]

A pity it is so hard to find here.

Right, well I will be on my way then.

[It definitely is! And he's not stopped on his way in or anything, sending stern glancing here and there as he makes his way inside. He knows who he's looking for and finding him almost takes longer than walking to the establishment. Equius is a bit frustrated by the smell of smoke and with... how close he is to people here and there, but only in certain parts of the building. Eventually he gets to Teijirou and frowns, huffing as he takes a seat near him.]

What an excessively appalling place.
musclebeast: Vouloir ♐ ? (D --> Scowl)

Action; That icon is adorable.

[personal profile] musclebeast 2012-08-08 06:49 am (UTC)(link)
That's true I suppose.

[Though he still doesn't look at all pleased. Equius glances at the piano, pausing for a moment before looking back to his company.]
musclebeast: Appearify ♐ ? (D --> Doubt)

Action; Adorable.

I'm fine, I can tolerate it. [Huffs, stamping a foot a little.]

So you play an instrument?

[He stares at the cup, taken aback slightly.]

What is this made of?

[Questioning before he takes it.]

Oh, right, your "clients". I had forgotten.

No, the glass. And yes, of course they do.

[Ceramic. Ceramic? How does he even approach that. Now he's going to just stare at it, contemplating how to even pick it up without it bursting in his grip.]

[Crack!]

[But gasp! The glass doesn't shatter! A crack forms on it, but it seems to be pretty intact over all, no liquid coming out or anything! How very excellent! Equius is actually fairly proud of himself now and even manages the smallest of smiles.]

[Yes he does.]

[He'll raise his glass as well, warily.]


Yes, thank you.

[Might be a good idea, it's taking a lot of effort not to break this glass. So instead of sitting with it for too long, he drinks, finishing what's in the glass. He's about to ask why there's so little of the liquid, but he's quickly taken aback by the taste and puts the cup down to cough.]

Holy cow! What in the-

It was just, an unexpected taste, excuse me, that was rude. [He's going to just shrivel his nose a little and stare at the glass.]

Rice, yes? Interesting. Though I suppose I can taste that- though um, different. How peculiar.

I am not used to ingesting fermented- anything. It's extremely difficult to compare it to anything. [Still kind of making a strange face. But at least he finally looks away from the glass now.]
