(Setting) CED's Night Stall Eatery
| >A small oni jumps up as she tries to reach one of the seats, grumbling about an airport or something like that
| >>362212
>The owner merely sends a gaze her way, stomping on her cigarette as she does
"Welcome, what will you take to eat tonight?"
| >Peeking in was a small girl, about half the entryway's height.
>Her hair reaches down to her back wearing a black shirt with a white rose in the center, matching with black jeans and a pair of black boots
"Ooooh..."
| “Finally , something familiar”
>a man walks in

>he takes a seat
“Any recommendations?”
|
| >>362347
"Welcome there."
>>362356
"We have a little bit of everything, but I recommend our ramen."
>The owner says
| >>362535
“Alright then, some ramen, but make it spicy please, but uh not *too* spicy”
>the man responds
| >>362538
"Got it."
>With well trained movements, she makes the broth and noodles, adding a red powder along the way, before finally topping it with a pork slice
"Pork ramen, spicy."
>She gives the man the ramen with a flourish
| >>362547
>Taking a seat, the small one tilts her head to the side a little bit, bringing a finger to her lips
"Mmmm...Do you have pork bone ramen and some spirits?"
| >>362553
"I do. What kind of alcohol are we talking about, however?"
>She begins prepping the ramen without looking away from the girl
| >>362571
"Just standard sake~ Goes well with this kind of ramen, I think~"
>Tilting back a little, the girl smiles wide
"Although, I think any drink goes well with ramen~ Hehe~"
| >>362577
"I can certainly serve you that."
>The girl finishes the ramen and pours a glass of saké, before serving both to the customer
"It's hot, so be careful."
| >>362581
>Taking a small sip before taking a chopstick full of ramen, she looks to the owner
"You aren't gonna ask for an ID?"
|
| >>362588
"Do I look as boorish as to do something like that?"
>She lifts an eyebrow, knowing full well the answer
>>362589
"Well, it's her specialty."
>The man wearing the parka says, turning to the other man
"Night wouldn't be the same without ramen stands."
| >>362589
"Well, it was the recommendation~"
>The girl laughs quietly, rubbing the back of her head.
| >>362599
“Buddy it wouldn’t be a Night Stall if the place didn’t serve ramen “
>>362600
“No wonder to, this stuff is good”
>he says over a bite
| >>362603
"You do get it, chummer."
>The man laughs, having finished his bowl
"Seconds, Cedrika."
>The owner sighs and serves him another bowl
| "Grrr, to ignore me like that..."
>The little oni seems irritated
"I-I'm an adult but it still bothers me..."
| >>362606
“Cheers to that, excuse me as i bullshit myself something to drink. Wait. Are outside drinks allowed miss...cedrika was it?”
| >>362608
"I did ask you what you wanted. Never answered. So I won't talk more."
>The owner shrugs
"She's really not much of a talker, that owner of ours."
>The man chuckles again, and goes back to eating
| >>362609
"Yeah, they are."
>She shrugs
"I'm no bar, so as long as you don't get shitfaced, I couldn't care less what you drank."
| >>362608
“...my gut tells me you are telling the truth..
What might your name be demoiselle?
Although if i had to guess...its talia chanka right?”
| >>362611
“Then excuse me while i bullshit myself a drink...wait I already said that.”
>he reaches into his jacket and...pulls out a bottle of wine?!?!
>after also pulling out a wine glass he pours some drink and returns it
>if only for a moment you see some kinda technological glowing
| >>362608
>She smiles at the little oni girl
"I know how you feel sometimes..."
>She crosses her arms and nods, smiling smugly before turning back to >>362599
"Mmmm...Nope, don't think so~"
| >>362612
"How do you know my name!"
>Chanka seems suspicious
>>362610
"Oh, well, maybe you should speak up!"
>She puffs her cheeks
"I'll take Meat!"
| >>362618
“It looks as if you have some fans on danger/u/
They say something about a cute oni girl and low and behold. An oni girl. Simply needed to connect the dots”
>he takes a sip of wine
“Ahhh hazelnut wine, the way of a good evening”
| >>362618
"Then I shall give you meat."
>Cedrika pulls out a steak of wagyu from under her stall and begins cooking it in a pan, adding seasoning as she does
>Her movement makes her seem more like a pro chef than some stall owner
| >>362622
"C-Cute? Grrr, taking me for a child again..."
>Chanka says, but she looks happy and blushing
| “If i may ask madam cedrika, where did you learn how to cook? Speaking of which [insert some tip that would improve the dish a lot here. Like this dude is the god of cooking and he is giving you tips a lot]
That could help”
>he says over a bite
| >>362627
"I learned on my own. I've been all around the globe to learn about it. I only settled down in GC because I ran out of cash to keep moving."
>Cedrika shrugs
| >>362631
“Woaw. Then why not a different job? With that kinda skill you could be cooking for some corp CEO and make double the money needed to move!
Although its a blessing that you are cooking here for people like me”
>there was a spark of gratitude in the way he said that
| >>362635
"I don't trust any corp suits, bastards every last of em'. I'd rather cook for people who enjoy my food then pretentious assholes who have me around to look the part."
>She seems kinda angry, but quickly recomposes herself, taking out another cigarette
"Guess I wanna meet people more than I want money."
>The man with the parka nods
"Yeah, slot those corps, always chickening on my payments, fuckers."
| >>362641
"Sans prob."
>She huffs a puff of smoke
>>362633
"Here's your steak."
>She hands the tiny officer the steak and goes back to waiting for the next orders
| >Finishing up her ramen, the girl leans back in her seat, downing the rest of her sake, listening in on the conversations around her
| >>362645
>The little officer seems happy, salivating even
"This looks like a meal fit for me!"
>She opens her mouth, revealing long shark-like teeth, and starts to chomp on the steak with a cute smile
| >>362656
“..wait it just hit me.
If i may ask, why are you so uncomfortable with being called cute?”
| >>362683
“Although...actually i got nothing.”
>he shrugs and takes a sip of wine
“Maybe you can like train to look like a wiz instead of cute then”
| >>363340
“Cassius Vanderbilt. I guess that means i am good at going unrecognized”
>>363286
“Like, do things that make you look wiz and not cute”
| >A stoned out man slowly approaches the stall, eyes glassy, demeaning him as a druggie, yet as you look past his face, you seen that:
>A: He's decently dressed, in jeans and a warm parka, complete with sneakers.
>B: Surrounded by A bunch of catgirls, hopping around him, saying "Idw da nya~" once in a while.
>The man, with his small entourage, finally gets to the counter.
"Hey man, can I uh... get a hotdog... and 1,2,3... 8 /burg/s?"
| >>363413
"Cassius...Ah, I tend to forget faces really often~"
>Evening rubs the back of her head, chuckling quietly before looking back towards the man walking in and at the catgirls around him
"IDW...~"
| >>363444
>A pair of catgirls excitedly splinter off to you, excited to be recognised!
"IDW! IDW DA NYA~!"
"W-wait! Augh. Sorry!"
>The stoner shouts out to Evening.
| >>363466
"G-Gah!"
>Evening was a little surprised before composing herself, petting all of the catgirls
"Yes yes~ IDW da nya~"
>She giggles quietly before looking to the stoner
"It's fine, don't worry~"
| >>363444
“No its actually me, my uh ‘old profession’ made me pick up the habit of becoming unambiguous.”
>he takes a bite
| >>363483
"Ah, wiz dude."
>The stoner gives you a surfer's wave, before looking back to the counter, while the pair of catgirls calm themselves, just beginning become relaxed around you.
"Nya~"
| >>363534
“Hmmm...”
>Cassius pulls out a bundle of catnip from his coat and hands each of the catgirls a bundle
“I wonder if they are affected by it like normal cats..”
| >>363525
"Well, either way, I do remember a Cassius, so I think that's all that matters~"
>Evening finishes her sake and lets out a breath
| >>363538
>The group of catgirls turn to you, but before they all approach you, The stoner stops them.
"Wait!"
>All but one stop... While the stoner complains.
"Mate, Do you mind?"
| >>363548
“Ahehe sorry...I simply couldn’t resist the call of discovery.
Apologie wine?”
>he offers a glass of hazelnut wine
“Aged for about 50 years”
>>363546
“Is that snark i hear?!?”
>he jokes
“Then how about a side bet! jk not really “
| >Evening waves over the catgirls back to her
"Nya~"
>She chimes before turning back to >>363555
"Perhaps it is...~"
| >>363557
“Ohohohohohoho its on now.scratch that now im serious about the side bet.
What do you say?”
| >>363587
“Cassy it what my friends call me. So how about that,i donno if i can consider you a chummer but if you win..fine you can call me cassy *and* ill owe you a favor.
But if i win..you tell me your real name.
How about that?”
| >>363592
"My real name?"
>Evening tilts her head and leans back, looking at you with a confused look, her voice heavily teasing
"But monsieur, Evening IS my name~"
>She gave a sly smile
| >>363604
>he returnes it with a sly smile of his own
“Oh? Are you sure demoiselle? I thought you were named audial or something along those lines.”
| >>363609
>Crossing her arms and puffing her cheeks, she turns her head away
"If you already have an idea of what my name is, then the side bet would be one-sided in my favor, no?"
| >>363613
“Indeed it would be.
For two reasons:
One: i am confident i will win
And two: for some reason i like you,not like romantic like but...’this one is interesting,and i will be disappointed if she dies’ like”
>he takes a sip of wine
“So, what is your answer?”
| >>363618
"Alright then, I suppose I'll agree with this bet~"
>Evening stops and thinks for a moment
"I also doubt I'll be dying any time soon, because I won't be in any incidents any time soon~!"
| >>363635
"Mmmm...I can hibernate for a pretty good amount of time, you know~"
>Giggling again, Evening looks over to the catgirls again, squishing one of her cheeks gently
"Nimu nimu nimu~"
| >>363646
“Just from that, i can tell.
A chummer of mine would probably call you best gril.
The damn weeb”
>he laughs
| >>363647
"Best gril, huh? Heh, it would be nice to be called that...~"
>Smiling to herself, Evening giggles quietly
| >>363652
>he snaps his fingers
“Then if i win i get to call you best grill.
That sounds like it could be funny”
>he chuckles
| >>363654
"You really enjoy gambling don't you?"
>Evening shakes her head and sighs quietly, a smug grin on her face
"Fine then~"
| >>363424
>The Owner (Probably recovering from a goddamn anyeurism) serves the man his order
"Here you go."
>She crushes her last cigarette
(Sorry, long shifts are fragging my ass)
| >>363940
"Thanks dude."
The stoner hands out all the burgs to the catgirls, as he munches on his Philly cheese steak. He pulls out a crumpled, archaic 50 dollar bill, and puts it on the counter.
| Huh, my ID changed for some reason...)
>>364367
>Jumping a little bit Evening glares at him
"H-Harassment..."
| >>364377
(Shhhh i do that to)
>he laughs more
“Looks like I already won~
Because your face is already red~ haha”
| >>364202
>The owner pockets the bill without a word and chuckles
>Meanwhile the man with the parka turns to the commotion the two other guests are causing
"Guys, might wanna keep it down, it is the middle of the night after all."
| >Chanka is just eating without listening to anything, even going as far as to lick the plate
>She suddenly stops and starts to shake
"I forgot to ask how this costs..."
| >>364532
>The stoner yet again speaks up, finishing his meal.
"Haha duuude. That's like 10z away from 240z. No, wait..."
>The stoner ponders his was to 420, while the cat girls surround both Evening and Chanka.
"IDW!"
| >>364545
>Forgetting her flustering, Evening smiles to the catgirls and pets all of them in turn
"IDW da nya~"
