Luceti Projects Mingle

Who: Anyone and everyone interested in Luceti Projects.
What: Luceti Projects meet-and-greet!
When: Backdated to the 22nd. Begins at noon, lasts all day.
Where: The barracks.
Summary: A few LP members have organized a get-together at the barracks for those with an interest in Luceti Projects to talk, eat, and relax while socializing.
Rating: PG

[ Quite a bit of thought and elbow grease has been put into preparing the barracks for this event. A banner is tacked across above the entrance that reads, "Welcome to Luceti Projects Opening Celebration!" in green paint. It's not exactly the sort of arts and craft masterpiece it could have been had they enlisted the help of one of the kids (such as Ikki), but it's better than nothing.

Just before entering the main festivities is a table with a sign-up sheet, manned by different members of Luceti Projects on a rotating basis, to answer questions or encourage sign-up.

Through the open doors of the barracks' largest hall, long wooden farmstyle tables have been set in rows to encourage mingling, placed adjacent to tables filled with food and drink that hug the walls. A wide range of different appetizers, snacks, and larger entrees have been set out for attendees, with plenty of plates, utensils, cups, and napkins. As a way to encourage more cultural exchange, the cuisine, catered by Okumura Rin, includes a little from different worlds -- cheese and crackers; sushi and yakitori; pasta and roast chicken; salads and other vegetable dishes, including a vegetable and potato stew, heavily featuring corn. A few sweets, such as cookies and a few cakes, sit alongside the savory dishes, next to which sits a very large bowl of non-alcoholic fruit punch (courtesy of Ms. Ginia). There is plenty of water, soft drinks, teas and coffee, and milk.

For those interested in trying out a more communal dish, placed about every five feet of table is a hot pot, specifically for sukiyaki, inside which vegetables, mushrooms, tofu, thin-sliced beef slowly simmer in a delicate broth of soy sauce, mirin, and sugar. Under these simmering ingredients is a base of udon and shirataki noodles to soak up the broth. Small bowls, utensils, and condiments such as soy sauce and eggs for the sauce, sit alongside each pot to encourage communal sharing.

On the other side of the hall is a wet bar (wo)manned by Ginia, with plenty of booze and an alcoholic variety of punch. Coolers filled with beer sit on the floor behind the wet bar. Martinis and other mixed drinks will be served in biodegradable plastic cups.

The smell of charcoal and wood burning wafts through the open back doors, from the glow of a respectably sized bonfire built behind the building, alongside which a long table is set, its surface filled with an assortment of graham crackers, chocolate, marshmallows, large sausages, kabobs with different meats and vegetables, and skewers for roasting.

A few yards away are the outdoor training grounds where a rather large array of weapons, both lethal and non-lethal of the wooden variety, have been set out for anyone who would like to spar. Some dried-out logs have been repurposed into a spectator area. The only rules posted: no use of magic or anything else that could critically harm opponents or spectators. No guns, except in the target practice area. Absolutely no killing. ]



(OOC: Assume that your character will be served drinks by Ginia at the bar, so use the bar area to mingle with whomever else, unless you’d like a thread. If your character would like to man the sign-up area, feel free to just drop them in on anyone. If they don’t know how to answer a question, just have them direct anything to either Erwin or Kakashi. Most importantly, have fun!!

Also, if your character hasn't voted about the LP leadership structure, the poll is still open over here! Even if they don't want to make a comment on the post itself, they can definitely still vote!)

[He certainly wouldn't be the first creature of darkness, Isaac muses with a grin, to slave in the kitchen. It's still bizarre to him as he considers how the creatures with the greatest culinary talent in the castle had so often been the living skeletons. And yet how could a thing devoid of eyes, a nose, and a tongue, let alone a stomach, have had such a keen sense of taste?]

Not bad, I suppose... if one is dying of hunger. [He spreads his hands, giving a little toss of his head.] But where is the ciorba de burta? The sarmale? The slices of veal tongue on a platter, drizzled with a sauce of olives?

[ Oh, ouch. Rin frowns, taking the criticism to heart. In truth, a lot of it is because of what they ordered. The stew over there, for example, he wouldn't have thought of. The only thing which was his personal call was the sukiyaki. But that's no excuse if someone doesn't like it. He tries to think of if he's every heard of those things before, crossing his arms as he considers ]

Well as for veal, we don't get a lotta that supplied for what the Malnosso send us at Seventh Heaven, so I couldn't've done that even if I thought of it. But for the other two... sorry, but I've never heard of them. [ But then he pipes up and gives a slight bow of apology - ] If you can point me at a recipe though, I'll gladly try to make 'em for you later.
relictusdeus: (Shhh~)

[personal profile] relictusdeus 2014-04-03 03:33 am (UTC)(link)
[Considerable humility, patience, and generosity on Rin's part - far more than he expects of anyone - although he considers the possibility that it may be an act.]

Will you now...? [He has reason not to trust any food made especially for him, but he entertains the idea for an instant.] How very kind of you. You could certainly try... although I suspect the humans will not so readily surrender their... delectable sweetbreads to your carving knife.
rashness: (Grom!)

[personal profile] rashness 2014-04-03 03:58 am (UTC)(link)
[ ...??? ] Why wouldn't someone offer sweat bread? [ No really he doesn't get it . . . ]
relictusdeus: (Back tattoo; explain; shrug)

[personal profile] relictusdeus 2014-04-03 05:23 am (UTC)(link)
Some men are not very fond of sharing, I'm afraid. [ He sucks in a slow, thoughtful breath.] ...A shame, truly.
rashness: (Don't you see?)

[personal profile] rashness 2014-04-04 03:54 am (UTC)(link)
I don't get why that would matter like... are one of those a community food or something?
relictusdeus: (Interesting)

[personal profile] relictusdeus 2014-04-04 05:03 am (UTC)(link)
[He sighs softly.] Perhaps you ought to ask someone. They shall be more receptive to you than I, I suspect, for you are a cook and they may have already enjoyed one of the meals you have prepared once before. I should hope there is someone in this cage kind enough to offer you their sweetbreads so that you might... expand your culinary repertory.
rashness: (Ew that pun)

[personal profile] rashness 2014-04-04 05:13 am (UTC)(link)
[ Wow he didn't get that at all. His tail droops and so does his face but... hey, if he says so... ]

'Kay guess I'll just talk to the bakery sometime then...
relictusdeus: (A taste)

[personal profile] relictusdeus 2014-04-04 12:30 pm (UTC)(link)
In the interest of saving you time, I would suggest that you address the journal at large by way of an entry. [He chuckles softly.] ...When it suits you, of course. I am in no hurry.
rashness: (Bright Clouds)

[personal profile] rashness 2014-04-06 02:50 am (UTC)(link)
Not to try'n sound rude or nothing, but I don't see how that'd save time. I already know the guys at the bakery [ Or well, he knew them better back when Hinata was there ] 'n at the library, so I'll just look those up and ask the bakery. Don't worry, I'll get 'em on the menu for you.
relictusdeus: (Mmnyes; popcorn.GIFing)

[personal profile] relictusdeus 2014-04-06 05:33 am (UTC)(link)
Splendid. I trust that you shall not disappoint.
rashness: (New Moon)

[personal profile] rashness 2014-04-09 02:16 am (UTC)(link)
I'll try not to anyway! So what's your name so I can know who I'm tellin' it's set to?

[ As he reaches out. Excited! To shake a hand! ]
relictusdeus: (A taste)

[personal profile] relictusdeus 2014-04-10 03:32 am (UTC)(link)
[It’s only in the enclosure where he has become familiar with this gesture, but never does he feel compelled to take the hand offered. He lifts his brows instead.]

Such wretched manners, [A teasing smile creeps across his face] demanding my name when you have yet to introduce yourself. [A beat passes, his silence expectant, and then he presses a hand to his chest.] But I am Hector. ...And you are?
rashness: (I want you)

[personal profile] rashness 2014-04-11 12:10 am (UTC)(link)
Oh. Uh, sorry. [ And he retracts his hands, makes a very light bow, and jerks his thumb at his own face. Hector, huh? Okay ]

'M Rin Okumura.
relictusdeus: Knifing a Belmont in the back, 'cause that's how he rolls (Ah...)

[personal profile] relictusdeus 2014-04-11 01:25 am (UTC)(link)
As you should be, Rin. [A laugh.] Now let us see what you are capable of, hm?
rashness: (Prideo)

[personal profile] rashness 2014-04-11 04:08 am (UTC)(link)
You can try any of the stuff here but for your requests! I'll get back to you on it.

[ Looking all diligent, he even adjusts his shirt. And tries to not look as tired as he is ]
