Yet another New Year of Pokémon [Open log for Goldenrod]

Who: Anyone in Goldenrod who wants to drop in!
Where: The Breeding Centre house in Goldenrod.
When: January 1st, early evening
Summary: Celebrating the New Year with what few Japanese traditions that can be managed, along with a few games.
Rating: PG? PG13 at most...
Log:

[A good deal had happened in the past year for Hayate, be it people leaving, people showing up, people reappearing... Or just in regards to those he met here. Regardless of his own feelings of the past year, this was a day to break in the new one! Which is why he had invited everyone to come enjoy some of the traditional Japanese food that is the standard for the New Year!]

[Which is why there are two Hayate prepared osechi set out for everyone to enjoy in the living room where the TV is set to a sort of Pokemon comedy talk show, while off to the side a third one is still packed up by its lonesome, with a small note with "Arturia" on it. And for those who brave it, there is even some mochi and sake set aside as well.]

[The food aside, there is a fair amount of ways to entertain yourself after eating. There is the obvious karaoke machine handed down from generation to generation of Breeding House Denizens, the sparse board or card games lingering on the shelves, and if someone is brave enough... They could even try to be the King.]

[No matter what interest you decide to zone in on, the house butler will do his best to keep things in motion for you.]

*Azusa just sits there idly for a moment, giggle as he leans in.*

Do you want a drink? It helps make them funnier~ ♥

[oh, he imagines it would...]

Mm. [Accepting is the polite and social thing to do, and he has eaten a bit. Why not.] A small amount?

Yay~! *A small cheer since A DRINKING BUDDY FINALLY. She drinks alone so much it was saddening to her.*

Hereeeee you go~ *Don't mind as she pours him a full sake cup, completely glossing over the small amount part. At least the cup is small...* Down the hatch~
grapecape: (WHOOPS)

[Yeah we need more adults arou-

-whoaoa okay that's more than he needed. He can just drink it very slowly, then...]


Thank you. [He takes the cup, peering curiously into it.] What is this, exactly? I've only ever had wine before.

My, you've never had sake before? It's the most traditional Japanese drink there is~! It just doesn't feel like a new year if I don't indulge and drink some on day one...

If you've only had wine before, you might like it. ♥
grapecape: (..?...?...)

Well...

[Let's give it a try, then.





...not bad.]

*Just quietly swaying ever so slightly in her seat as she watches the show, waiting for him to comment on it.*

Different, but not unpleasant. [And...definitely stronger than their festival fare. Hmm.

He glances up at her. Is there a particular way he's supposed to drink this...?]
It feels a little out of place, though. We wouldn't have held our New Year around this time, so it's hard to get into the celebratory mindset.
