“Grilled chicken,” he hummed, squinting his eyes at the verbal appeal of the dish. Chicken was his personal favorite in any form. With food on his mind, Elek followed Rei to a stall with a particularly long queue. “Man, it’s super popular,” he commented, sliding into place behind her and leaning to the side to see the start of the nearly 15 person deep line.  Well, the anticipation would only make things sweeter. He returned his focus to Rei and gave a nod, noting the apparent joy in her demeanor. “How long have y’all been having this festival anyway?” 

"The line'll go fast. They're quick here." Her point was proven as they rapidly stepped up, making it halfway through the line in no time. "We only started after humans had been here for a while... Maybe a century or so? You'd have to ask Ama for exacts. Time ain't my specialty." Her face twisted in thought, nose twitching. Soon, the line gave way to the counter, and she stepped up to order three plates - two for her, of course - and stuffed just as much cash as the food was worth in the tip jar. She skipped (as much as she could in the traditional attire) over to the serving counter, licking her lips in anticipation.

SEND ME ONE FOR MY MUSE’S REACTION

“Are you breaking up with me?” “Are you having nightmares again?” “Anything you want to say?” “Apparently, I need to grow a mustache.” “Balloons? Really?” “Be quiet!” “But what if we get caught?” “Can you not?” “Care to tell me what’s going on?” “Come find me.” “Did you even love me?” “Did you ever stop to think about how I feel?” “Don’t look at me like that.” “Don’t touch me.” “Do you love him/her?” “Do you love me?” “Everyone leaves.” “Eviction notice. It’s an eviction notice.“  “Fine, I’ll go.” “Finally!” “Fight me for it.” “Fuck it.” “Get away from me.” “Gotcha!” “How high are you?” “How did you get here?” “I bought a goat.” “If what we had was real, how could you be fine?” “I get that you wanted to come up with the plan, but your plan is stupid.” “I hate you.” “I’ll bet you a dollar.” “I said that I’m in love with you.” “I think I’m pregnant.” “I’m going to kill you.” “I’m not eating that.” “Is that a chicken?” “It’s not that I think your cooking is bad! It’s just … Not that good.” “Jokes on me, huh?” “Just friends?” “Just let me go.” “Just tell me the truth!“  “Kiss me.” “Kicking someone is not a form of romance.” “Let me explain.” “Listen, it was a completely innocent gesture.” “Maybe you should go.” “Maybe fuck you will be our always.” “May need you to bail me out of jail.” “Miss you.” “No. The answer is no.” “Not drunk enough for this.” “Never, ever doing that again.” “Okay, I know this looks bad…” “Please don’t.” “Please stop talking.” “Personally, I’d rather make out with a cactus.” “Quick, I need you to bring me a bottle of bleach.” “Quiet! Someone’s going to hear.” “Quit being annoying.” “Really, where were you?” “Right. Of course it’s my fault.” “Silly of me to think you actually cared.” “Simple? Brushing my teeth is simple. This? This is not simple.” “So… How’s the weather?” “Tell me you didn’t steal someones dog.” “There’s something wrong with you.” “This definitely isn’t what it looks like.” “Us? There is no us.” “Unable to process the stupidity of what you just said. Sorry.” “Unfortunately, she/he said no.“  “Very cute.” “We can’t do this.” “Was it just a lie?” “Wait, what did you just say?” “Wait! Hold on!“  “Who the hell is passed out in the driveway?” “What the hell?” “Why are you naked?” “Why is there silly string everywhere?” “Why is there a frozen turkey in the bathtub?“  “Without you, I’m lost.” “X-Rays? What the hell did you do and why didn’t you tell me?” “You broke up with me. There’s nothing left between us anymore.” “You’re leaving? But it’s taco night…” “Zebras have nothing to do with this conversation.” “Zelda is more important right now."

“Yakitori? Kasutera?” he parroted, pronunciation only off slightly. Of all the food Rei listed off, dango was the only thing he could immediately recognize. Still, the prospect of unknown food was very alluring, and he found himself salivating again. Habitually, he swiped at the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand and squinted his eyes. “Sign me the fuck up. I’m right behind you ma’am.” Eagerly, he followed her around the small crowd of people still trying to catch their pet snacks and headed back toward the food stalls, goldfish all but forgotten. 

Rei snickered as she sauntered off, expecting the other cat to follow along. “Yakitori is grilled chicken on skewers. It’s drinking food, really. Kasutera is sponge cake, sweet and super good…” She trailed off as she thought about it, licking her lips. Yum. She snapped back to reality as they approached the takoyaki stand, excitedly bounding into line. "This place is my favorite. Meaning they basically have to come to Falling Sun every year." She giggled, pride evident in her expression.

[kanorei-blog]

Rei finished her snack as she watched where Elek’s gaze was headed towards. Oh, ugh, not those girls again. She tossed away the stick and basket, shaking her head. “That takoyaki stand isn’t even that good. They only make real money cause they get those girls to go and look cute and sell things in the crowd. There’s a much better one nearby.” She tugged lightly at a stray piece of hair fallen from the elaborate updo Ama had somehow gotten the mass into. Sure, traditions are traditions, but she had too much hair for this.

“But, if you like the look of those, we should hit the yakitori stand, and the  okonomiyaki. I like the karumeyaki, even though it’s really really sweet. And definitely the karaage, and taiyakis are always popular, and you should try the dango and kasutera too...” She tapped her chin lightly as she thought up more stalls. “I think there’s good inari and chirashi around... Oh! And grilled corn, how could I forget?” She smiled up at Elek, teeth sparkling in the low light. “Let’s go, kid. We got a long night.”

“I do love food,” he laughed, looking in the direction of the wonderful smells. “The maze sounds fun. I guess if I had come with a friends I’d be hittin’ the games up, but for tonight I was just gonna take in the sights.” He followed the progress of a pair of girls holding twin trays of something ball shaped and covered in a condiment he didn’t recognize. The werecat opened his mouth to catch it’s scent, and his eyes immediately widened. “And the food,” he added, deciding to try whatever that was before heading back.

“Hey,” he looked back down at the cat demon, a sheepish grin on his face, “If you’re just making the rounds,  would you mind if I tagged along?”

“Even Holland?” Elek hummed as he thought of the rather shy man decked out in something similar to Rei’s state of dress. “Well, I’m sure only Amaranth is pleased about that.” He gave her another cheeky grin and tossed his stick into a nearby trash bin. 

“No shit? The whole fish? Without even cooking it?” The werecat snorted and tried to imagine himself doing the same. As a cat perhaps, but he would at least season and sear the fish before trying to eat it. “Not that I can blame you, they should’ve known better. And yes ma’am I’ll be sure to.” With an easygoing smile, he squinted down at her and eyed the food she was eating. Yama? The name was vaguely familiar, but the werecat couldn’t put a face to it. He assumed it was another one of Rei’s familiars from the mainland.“No games just yet, followed my stomach first. Just got here. You got any recommendations for me?” 

“Ama has a talent for convincing people to do things, and I swear this damned festival makes her better at it. Isn’t hard for her to convince her kid to wear yukata for a couple nights.” Rei rolled her eyes, smiling still. Holland did seem to think he had a choice in the matter this morning. He was wrong, of course.

Rei laughed, enjoying Elek's impressed tone. Ah, the youths these days. "I mean, it was just one of the little goldfish. What would be the point of cooking something so small? Raw's better to me anyway." Tiny little things still aren't very good, but they're a decent snack. She shrugged, crossing her arms over her chest. "Well, it depends on what you like playing. I like this booth, for snacks, and I go for the BB gun range, the maze sometimes, high striker, whatever looks fun, I guess..." She glanced around, thinking a bit more. "Really, I spend a lot of the festival making sure everything's goin' good that I don't do much. I can pick out every good food stall at this thing, though."

[kanorei-blog]

Rei smiled, grin wide with pride, eyes still not leaving the tanks. Round and round they go, running from the little nets the humans were using to grab them with. Why not just use your hands? Dummies. “Thank you! Ama likes to wear the traditional clothing, even managed to shove Holland into it this year. Makes for some good family photos, I guess.” She wouldn’t wear the yukata without Ama there. This isn’t Japan, isn’t home.

“One time, someone gave me a fish they won as a gift, and... I ate it. Right there. That’s what I always do with ‘em, y’know? I thought they were giving me a snack, fitting into my customs. The look on their face was hysterical.” She giggled, slitted pupils finally sliding away from the tanks and up towards Elek. “Well, stick around here, and I’m sure you’ll see plenty of Falling Sun. This year we really went all out, though... I blame Yama.” She rolled her eyes and took a bite of her snack. Dumb dog. “I see you got food. Tried any of the games yet?”

Elek blinked in suprise at the comment and turned, features brightening when he saw the traditionally dressed demon. “Rei! You look good!” The werecat nearly dropped his food as he debated whether to stay low or rise to address the cat properly. Deciding on the former, he nodded and narrowed his eyes with a grin. “It’s like an all you can eat buffet to be honest with you.”

He gave the shallow tank another wistful glance and quickly finished his meal, licking his fingers clean. “It’s a nice festival though, never been to one like this. I’m really likin’ it so far.” Finally standing, Elek brushed off his jeans and looked down at the other cat, trying not to smile. He forgot how tiny she was.

[kanorei-blog]

They might have edged a bit too far into the old traditions this round. With Yama back in town and all shrined up and Kenzo around, the old energies buzzed about in a way that made Rei more homesick than ever. Rakka taiyō seemed to be the perfect outlet for all this, except it wasn’t supposed to be. So there were a few more Japanese style stalls and maybe some extra weird foods and less games than normal. She could probably blame Yama for it. He was getting enough good attention from people visiting the shrine.

The cat wandered the festival, decked out in her yukata and making sure everything was going smoothly. Of course, it wasn’t long until she got her attention stolen by dango, and then by the infernal goldfish scooping setup. Why was this even a thing? Sure, it made lots of money, and peoiple loved it, but... Why keep food as pets? Rei spotted a familiar face from across the booth and meandered over, eyes still trained on the makeshift pond.

“Doesn’t this thing just make you hungry?”

This was certainly an interesting clash of cultures.

Elek pursued the food stalls, impressed with the array of meats. There was fish, squid, and …were those pig feet? He cracked a grin at the concession stand girl and moved on, shaking his head. He truly hadn’t planned on coming alone, but his first choice had turned him down. The werecat wasn’t too beat up about it, he was having fun following his nose and taking in the sights and sounds of his first festival.

Purchasing an impressive looking sausage on a stick, Elek moved on to watch a group of people attempt to scoop up goldfish out of a shallow tank using flimsy looking circular nets. He made a face as he chewed. Couldn’t they just swipe them with their hands instead? Seemed much easier. He stooped to watch the fish swim back and forth to escape their would be owners, ripping a chunk of meat off its stick with sharp teeth. Although he was already eating, his stomach growled loudly. He never understood why people kept fish as pets.
