perfectmatch | week two

[ Edamura's lively display and complete flip in demeanor surely draws some attention from other patrons around them, and at his prompting, Shoko puts a hand up to her forehead, casting her gaze about as if in search or something - or someone... ]

Ahhh, excuse me, but I'm just looking for my friend Mame-chan? I came here with him, but now he's nowhere to be found!

[ SERIOUSLY WHO IS THIS.. what happened to her sweet Mame-chan!! Still, it's clear that she's thoroughly amused, her words almost carrying a laugh with them. ]

[he doesn't seem to mind the attention of the other patrons. in fact, he seems to tune out their presence entirely, focused only on Shoko and whatever silly little act he has conjured up in his head]

Mame-chan? That name doesn't sound familiar.

[tucks his chin into his fingers thoughtfully]

But maybe if you describe him, I could help keep an eye out?

Oh? You'd do that for me? Thanks, Guide-san.

[ Well, since he asked... she'll play along, propping her chin up in her hands and maintaining eye contact. ]

He's kind of a polite, laid-back guy. Sort of a soft, youthful face? Really expressive face, but in a charming way. Brown hair that's a little messy but looks good at the same time...

[ She'll keep going if she is not stopped, ]

[help]

[flusters a little, but he covers it up with a laugh]

Your description is a little too kind, Ieiri-san.

Hm? I can be meaner if that's what you're into.

[ lol ]

[HELP HE ACTUALLY KIND OF IS]

No, no. Let's just leave it there. Tell me how I did! Was I convincing?

[ it's okay you can tell her to be meaner-- ]

You were! Honestly, you were a little too convincing. Like you were a different person. You must be really good at your freelancing job, like that.

[do you think he knows this about himself??]

Yeah, yeah. It comes it handy. Connecting with all kinds of people does make getting jobs a lot easier.

[ buddy... ]

Like the kinds of people that enjoy a lot of puns, right? Don't think I've forgotten that you said "beer for a good time"...

[ Also!! Their food is here... ]

Are you going to guide me through this food, too?

[quirks a brow at her]

I can if you want me to.

[ Hoh.. This cheeky kind of confidence looks good on him! ]

Go for it. I want to see more of your sales persona.

[lifts a hand to his mouth and clears his throat]

[he snaps back into the "salesman persona" with another blink of an eye, both hands extended to gesticulate to the food in front of them]

Here at the Bierstadt Lagerhouse, we pride ourselves on providing our patrons with an entire experience. While our lagers and ales are obviously the stars of the show, no production is complete without its supporting members!

[to the pretzel and queso first!]

Our first featured actor: a softly baked pretzel topped with a fine sprinkle of sea salt. What did the queso say to the pretzel? "Let's dip into a cheesy adventure!

[the puns are so bad]

[ These puns... they're so bad........ but in the way that they're so bad, they're actually kind of funny. Maybe it's the way he's delivering them, but Shoko can't help but chuckle again.

And with that, she'll go ahead and tear a little chunk of the pretzel to dip into the cheese, and... ]

Hmm... It's... different. I mean. Not bad, but...

[ This is quite a far cry from the usual izakaya fair. Anyhow, she tears another piece off to dip and holds it out for him. ]

Try it, try it.

[takes the cheesy pretzel bit and pops it into his mouth!]

[. . .]

. . . don't worry! The greasy mouthfeel is all part of the experience. I assure you it's perfectly normal!

[Edamura you can stop trying to sell it, now]

[ Needless to say, she's quick to wash that first bite down with her beer... ]

Well... Sorry to say, but not even your charisma could save this one. I think I'd like the pretzel by itself, but the cheese is...

Maybe the fries are better...?

[picks up a little fry. . . that is sopping wet with gravy]

. . .

It's supposed to do that.

[ She will also pick up ... a soggy fry. ]

Hmm...

[ Eats it. ]

...Okay, this one is better than it looks, actually.

-- seriously?

[pops one into his mouth]

[. . .]

[eugh. . .]

Next time let's just ask to go to an izakaya.
