Sunday Brunch April 10th RP Log

This is a role play log of our last Sunday Brunch. Bon appetit!

Eien Fumetsu notes a customer the second he unlocks the door and smiles brightly at them. "Welcome to breakfast brunch, please have a seat and I get your order."

Anna Wright pulls the first batch of sweet potato hash browns out of the oven and smiles as she inhales.

Michael Reinhardt comes EXACTLY on time and is greeted by a large black man and a Japanese accent.  He arches his brows, smiles and moves to a table by the door.  "I'll have the breakfast.  Thanks."  he orders, already knowing it comes with coffee.

Eien nods "Hai .. right away sir." and moves to stick his head in the kitchen and give the order to Anna.

Anna flips the bacon already in the fry pan and smiles at Eien "We got one?" she calls out. "The regular full breakfast? How do they want the eggs?"

Michael considers the man, who he's seen but never met.  "You're Eien .."  he pauses and decides to ignore the last name, which he will botch.  "I'm Michael Reinhardt.  CPPD.  Nice to finally meet you.  We spoke on the phone."

Eien nods. "Good too meet you. How do you want those eggs?" he asks, kicking himself that he forgot.

Michael smiles.  "Scrambled.  Please."

Eien puts his head back in the door. "Scrambled, Wright-san."

Anna Wright pops the toast in and nods "K cool thanks." she calls as she reaches for a grapefruit to cut.

Michael sits back.  "I noticed your scooter isn’t front of the bakery now."  he says, softly.  "I hope that fixes the joy riding problem."

Eien smiles and bows. "So far, at least." he replies. "We will see." and suddenly he is tempted to see if it is still there. Eien Fumetsu then moves to get the man his coffee.

Anna scrambles the eggs and assembles the plate with all the fixings. Because it's not busy, she pops out the door with it. Seeing only one customer she sets it down for him "This must be for you then." she says with a friendly smile.

Michael smiles as he is brought coffee and breakfast at the same time.  "Thank you both." he looks at the woman.  "You must be Anna?"  he looks at her.  "I met your brother Lee last night."  he begins to put creamer and sugar in his coffee.

Eien nods. "You are welcomed." he replies and backs off of him so he can enjoy his coffee.

Anna smiles again and then looks apprehensive "Oh cool..." Lee was sometimes unpredictable and she hoped it was a good meeting. She darts a look at Eien as he backs off. He's so on top of his game always. Looking back to the red haired man she says "Sorry I didn't catch your name?"

Michael bites and swallows and hums at the taste.  "Sorry.  Michael Reinhardt.  I'm with the CDPD now."  he pauses and lifts his mug.  "I met Lee while I was having a couple off duty drinks before I went back to Vancouver.  I know people always wonder when they find out I'm a cop."  And he sips the coffee again.  "Excellent cooking, by the way.  My compliments to the chef."  he smiles a charming smile.

Eien watches and smiles but says little. He likes this job.

Anna tilts her head "Thank you Michael. You must have just started at our station. How do you like it so far?" She makes eye contact with Eien too, including him in the conversation visually.

Michael makes a piece of bacon go bye-bye.  "Only a couple of weeks ago.  From Vancouver PD.  I wanted a less stress free existence.  A friend told me about Cedar Point and ... I finally got a job here."  he holds up his left hand, which is bandage free but still a bit scabby from the bite .. mostly the stark white of a new scar.  "And learned that raccoons are not always cute, cuddly and funny."  he smiles with good humor.

Eien chuckles, checking out the coffee maker, creamers and the like to make sure there’s plenty. "Ah so ... Reinhardt-san is very good. He helped me with my first ticket." he chuckles. "Maybe it is those racoons take my scooter for rides."

Anna looks at Michael's hand with a look of dawning "Steph told me about that....you and Ryan right? I'm friends with his sister. She says he's been super sick from the shot though. I am NOT getting that vaccine...." she shudders and then turns to Eien "YOU got a ticket for something? " she laughs in disbelief "Was it for being TOO polite?"

Michael eats a bit more and chuckles, nodding.  "I hear they're smart enough.  I never saw a raccoon out of a zoo before I came here."  he considers.  "Steph ... yea ... Ryan's sister.  Yea, I guess we BOTH have.  It's like having the flu or something.  And I can NOT take any time off a job I JUST got, you know."  he glances at Eien.  "Yea .. he got a ticket for jay walking.  It was nothing and it's .. just gone now.  Taken care of."  he wasn't sure who but SOMEONE had torn it up.

Eien shudders also. "I did not get it, either. I do not have money to put on what may happen." he insists. Then he laughs. "Normally I would not jay walk. But my scooter was gone again so ... I was in a hurry and the officer made me THIRTY minutes late to work." his eyes fall, as if it was the most shaming thing to ever happen to him.

Anna tries not to giggles at Eien and says kindly "It happens. I'm sure the Yamadas were totally cool. Garrett's late all the time." she has a momentary awkward look and then continues "How many times has your scooter been taken?" She glances at Michael and says "Glad you're well enough to eat now. "

Michael finishes the bacon and works to make a little scrambled egg sandwich.  "I don't blame either of you."  he snorts.  "This is the first real meal I have had in a week .. and I may come to regret IT ... which is nothing against you, ma'am."  he tells Anna.  He grins a bit at Eien.  "Nice work ethic, man."  he compliments.

Eien smiles. "Arigato." he says. "If you will excuse me." he moves to Oshi. "Good morning time to you, Sikigami-san. What can I get for you?" he asks her, taking in the less than basic outfit. Not that he can talk in hit tie-dye.

Anna grins at Michael "No offense taken." She moves to check the coffee and juice supplies and looks back at Oshi "Morning Oshi"

“Good morning Anna san and Eien San.” Oshi bows to each in turn and notices “Oh and to you aw well Michel san.”

Oshi Shikigami smiles

Michael looks over as Oshi enters.  "Good morning, Oshi."  he takes in her outfit.  "Nice hat."  he folds the toast over and takes a bit of the impromptu sammie.

Oshi: Why thank you, I just felt like , how you say, gussing up, a bit? She winks.

Eien smiles at her. "Is a good hat, Shikigami-san. Very like your hair and your shirt. Is all one color." while he is every color of the hippie rainbow.

Anna peers in the coffee pot and then closes it back up "You look nice Oshi. OK more bacon cooking time." she heads for the kitchen.

Michael t grins as he finishes his breakfast and sits back sipping his coffee, waiting to see how his body will take fried bacon.

Oshi: Tatsu san, so glad you could join me for brunch! Oshi smiles at her cousin as she comes in and plops herself at the table.

Tatsu Yume: Well my shoes don’t fit any more! I had to come here in my socks, it took longer! She sounds a little unhappy and then rubs her feet.

Eien stands at the table seeing Tatsu enter and sit. he bows. "Tatsu-chan. What can I get for you on this good morning?" he is still waiting on Oshi's order as well.

Anna puts one pan of hash browns back in to keep warm and flips the bacon around in the pan. She plunks down some toast in anticipation of orders coming in.

Michael sips a little more coffee.  "Eien ... do you have any ... tea?  Green if possible but some kind of herbal blend?"

Oshi: Your breakfast special sound great for me. The first one on the board outside. And for Tatsu, well I will let her decide, But I bet she goes for that Vegan thing. Oshi looks over to Tatsu expectantly.

Tatsu: Well you told me I am too busy with death and killing and stuff. So I decided I won’t eat any food that is killed. That should make you happy? She then excuses herself to wash her hands before eating.

Eien nods and looks at the kid. "I will get them for you now, thank you." he bows and watches after Tatsu as she goes off to wash her hands. Very traditional stuff. Very good. He approves.

Michael leans back and settles one hand on his stomach as the other reaches behind, getting his walled out of his back pocket to pay his tab.

Waiting for Tatsu to return, Oshi turns and smiles at Michael, as He starts to get ready to leave, And says, Hope your day goes well, It was fun last night at the black hole. And nods to him.

Anna starts slicing grapefruit and putting them in bowls, singing to herself a bit . It might be heard muffled through the door "Blackbird singing in the dead of night..."

Eien smiles and sees that Michael is paying his tab. "You do not want the tea?" he wonders. The man looks slightly ill to him. He hears the singing and grins slightly as he pokes his head in the kitchen. "A breakfast and the vegan one, Wright-san."

Michael shakes his head. "No, I better pay and go." he leaves cash and a nice tip on the table and stands. "Great food though. Thank you. I had a great time as well, thanks." he heads out of the door and turns left towards the beach.

Tatsu sits up to the table, and mumbles with a stage whisper, "I cannot abide these western toilets, Weird, and all that paper..." And stares at her plate.

Eien smiles at Tatsu going to wash her hands, then moves in the kitchen. "A breakfast and a vegan .. plate." he tells Anna.

Oshi giggles for a second, and then in a mock tome says, That is not *exactly* proper table conversation. Um, don't you think? Trying not to grin.

Anna calls back "Coming right up!" and pulls a pack of medium tofu out of the fridge for the vegan. She grabs some fakin bacon and throws it in the microwave.

Eien had missed the comment about tables or he would have been mortified. he gets Oshi a coffee and asks Tetsu. "A drink Tatsu-chan?" he still hasn’t dropped the Japanese honorifics.

Tatsu, says I will have coffee too please Eien san. And grins

Oshi: So how are you doing with your studies? I hope you remembered to get that paper about the importance of the Miji period in Japan as effects the rest fo the world, was it called?

Eien hesitates slightly, but bows and brings her a cup.

Tatsu: NO milk in that please! She adds as an afterthought.

Anna arranges the two plates and comes out with them, since it's quiet. As she opens the door she's still singing quietly "Blackbird flies....." and then she stops as she approaches the table. It was the Sarah McLaughlin version if anyone knew it and was listening carefully. "Here you go ladies."

Eien brings black coffee. "Sugar and creamer on the table for you Tatsu-chan." he tells her. She can pour her own milk or not.

Tatsu: My paper is turned in as you know, cus the teacher, talked to you about already!

Oshi: Well I was going to get to that. Seems it is not appropriate to quote manga or anime, in a historical research paper?

Eien turns a laugh into a cough, covering his mouth appropriately. He turns to check the coffee supplies.

Anna smiles at the conversation and starts to step back "Bon appetit!"

Tatsu: That's just not fair. Next they will tell you that YouTube is not a "credible source" for reference either...

Oshi: You have a hard sale for me. I have had to write college research paper, and I cant begin to tell you how picky they get about sources, or a lot of other details...

Eien fiddles with the coffee supplies, waiting a chance to serve and wondering if the child is in college or if Canada was different that way

Wolfgang Pots walks in smelling faintly of engine oil and boss Hugo cologne with a rumbling belly that can be heard outside the door .. he saunters  in beaming big. But has a bit of a hitch in his step .. like one sore from a workout.

Anna sniffs at the air and chuckles "Morning Wolf."

Oshi i: Wolgang San, so good to se you this lovely morning, er, day Oshi smiles and give sa slight bow

Tatsu: Hello Mr. Wolfman san, Tatsu smiles and nods...

Eien sees the blond come in and waits for him to sit so he can be of service. This is one man he has not yet met, but hears Anna call him 'wolf'. An interesting name. Oshi continues and it is Wolfgang. Even more interesting. He offers a nod .. a truncated boy as the Westerners do and waits.

Wolfgang chuckles used to the Japanese people of cedar point and bows in west meet east with a southern flare  'well a fine, how de do to yall , lovely ladies ' he bows at the ladies seated and then to Anna 'morning, Anna '  he smiles nodding then to Eien 'pleasure is all mine , ' he say to the apparently Japanese but black tall man .. his drawl long . 'how are yall doing he sits down still facing them

Anna  walks by but stops at the table, leaning her hands on the empty chair casually "As I'm heading for the kitchen again, what would you like cooked up there cowboy?"

Eien nods and smiles moving to this wolf. Anna gets his order and he waits to see if he is bringing coffee or not.

Oshi: Tatsu, the gentleman’s name is Wolfgang! And I only call him by his first name, as it is customary here in Canada to do so. Were we in Japan, it would be different. To call him that would be rude and insulting even here in Canada. You should apologies. Oshi looks sternly at her cousin.

Tatsu: OK, sensei Humble apologies to Mr. Wolfgang san. And she bows deeply and then turns her head.

Eien nods and smiles moving to this wolf. Anna gets his order and he waits to see if he is bringing coffee or not.

Wolfgang winks at her flirting just a bit in a friendly sort of matter 'the usual, wonderful kitchen goddess except some of that vegan meat ..yall got in the back . 'he say meaning his usual bacon and eggs 'tried it the other day ,  darn near good 'he chuckles .. looking to Eien smile 'may I please have some coffee .. black ' he winks and waves to the ladies

Anna laughs, blushing a bit "Well if you're going to ask like that. Coming right up." She sees him extend his flirtation across the room and snickers, watching and then shaking her head at Eien and the cousins at the antics.

Oshi looks at Ein and in a quiet voice, says, do you have chopsticks here, in Japanese. If So I would like some, and I think Tatsu would eat better with them.

Tatsu, sneaks a small bit of Canadian bacon off of Oshi's plate while she seems distracted with the two boys in the room.

Eien nods and turns to get the coffee, setting it in front of him. "I am Eien Fumetsu, if you need more." he moves to the table with the Japanese girls. "I can get you anything?" he asks. he chuckles. "This is a Western place, Shikigami=san so no. There is not much Japanese here. But I live only across the way and have plenty if you would like me to get you some." above and beyond the call as usual.

Wolfgang laughs softly at Tatsu 'little lady , you may address whatever way you deem fit ' he smiles  and waves to Oshi 'good to see ya again . he chuckles 'well thank ya kindly , Anna " and comments to Tatsu 'but also whatever Oshi says too ,, ' he say meaning to her about minding her elders .  chuckles  a bit seeing Tatsu sneak the bacon . . he turns to Eien 'nice to know ' he smiles beam 'Names Wolf .. 'he chuckles  softly interesting accent .. 'he say seem genuinely interested"

Anna slips back into the kitchen and cooks up Wolf's order.

Oshi blushes, and looks mortified. She stumbles a bit in saying, Oh, please no, that is a very honorable thing you offer. But it is not necessary. We can get by without. And maybe it is better,, for Tatsu, if we don’t anyway. SO Many thanks, but do not need do so. And, she bows deeply.

Tatsu plays around with the food on her plate. Coming to the realization, it just isn't that tasty to her. And seems lost in a daydream.

Eien bows deeply. "I do understand. It can be hard. No Saki, no chopsticks ... but it is good. We should be as they are here to get along and not make the waves." he moves to the doctors table. "May I help you?"

Wolfgang laughs softly at her fluster 'whatever works fer yall . When in Rome right 'he shrugs. 'he watches the good doctor walk in smiling then returns to his black hot coffee eyeing Eien a bit but goes back to watching the ladies ' he nods at the doctor

Anna comes right back out with Wolf's plate and sets it down with a half grapefruit "There you go."

Oshi, sees the doctor come in and says greetings “Doctor san! You were correct with the shots, they did not hurt much at all, and everyone should consider getting them.” Oshi seems to be saying this so all can hear, in an attempt to promote the shots, and the doctor's skill in giving them.

Adam Pierson walks in, knowing he's almost at the end of serving time. He nods to Wolf, remembering him from the market. He looks up at Eien with a smile, "The special." He smiles over at Oshi when Eien has his order. He bows with his upper body back to Tatsu, "You must be Tatsu, greetings!"

Eien nods and bows. "Right away." and he sticks his head in the kitchen to tell Anna "Special for doctor." and moves to get the man some coffee.

Wolfgang sniffs it “Well 'dang... 'he say in a lustful tone .. 'egg perfection as per usual Anna and he starts on his eggs . he pauses laughing 'had mine .. When I was 7 got bit by a raccoon.. When I was a lil en 'he laughs 'or do I need an update?”

Anna hears Oshi, shudders at the idea of the shot and smiles at Wolf and then calls across the room "Morning Doc Pierson. Coming right up." She smirks at Eien after and runs to make another special.

Oshi beams at Tatsu, for her very well trained and proper Japanese styled greeting done in English. She will savor this moment for as long as she can, as it is so rare...

Tatsu, notices Oshi's happiness and smiles back. She is happy that they do not need to be at opposite ends, or disagreeing on customs all the time...

Adam listens to the bustle in the room and smiles.

Eien moves around the room after bringing the doctor his coffee, seeing who needs refills.

Wolfgang continues on eating his dinner savouring the vegan meat .. with fervor  he consults the doctor 'I’m good right .. don’t need a booster shot for the hydrophobia , do I "

Anna brings out the Doctor's plate. Most of the stuff was prepared ahead except the eggs and sets it before him "Busy week for you eh?"

Oshi looks at Tatsu, and says “Did you know MunYo has come out with a new series of water micerable oil pastels, and they will blend with regular oil paints? What do you think, should we get a set, and see how they work?” A smile creeping on her face.

Tatsu: COOL! Tasu says with genuine enthusiasm. That sounds crazy cool to try, please, please Sensei, let us try some. (and pushing her luck) And can you get some extra crimson sticks too? She smiles a big cute irresistible and devil making smile.

Adam smiles at Anna, "Yes, it was a very busy week. Thank you." He chuckles at the enthusiasm he hears in another voice, drinking his coffee.

Wolfgang looks over to Oshi and Tatsu “Now that’s got me thinking of red velvet churros. “

Eien has made the rounds with the coffee pot and puts it back, tiding the area, which doesn’t need tiding,

Anna nods at the doctor and looks around "Does everyone NEED a shot? I hate needles...and I react badly to vaccinations....."

Oshi says, done then we get a set, but you will have to 'nurse' that crimson, the _only_ one in the set, I am NOT buying extra.

Tatsu: Aww, OK then. i will just have to come up with another color for blood... Tatsu looks very deep in thought. Oh wait, I be they have also alezrian crimson as well! ah ha!

Adam "Well the needles we use are for children, so there's less than a mosquito bite. I would recommend it, considering the way the raccoon is reported to have acted."

Eien stands casually by the coffee station, nodding his agreement to Anna's words.

Wolfgang turns to listen to the doctor response also curious.. he listen with a raise eyebrow at the word blood " and turns back to the doctor 'I think I’ll go schedule an appointment with you soon. 'He say softly ' he rub his neck . You can see what looks like a bruised bite mark on his neck .. but clear not from a rodent ' he sips his coffee

Anna looks nervously at everyone and then the Doctor "Ok I'll come in sometime this week....if I can fit it in." Her tone is both shaky and non committal. She clears her throat and heads for the kitchen looking a bit anxious. She hates needles more than anything in the known world.

Oshi says, with a little more volume than necessary to get across the table with, "I think it is a good time to do more Kendo practice! You have your own stick, I even have another" Her vice sounding almost conspiratorial, "I would not wish to see you, or anyone, getting attacked by such monsters! Even the Komoto dragon I captured was less aggressive...

Tatsu: OK, You had me at the Kendo for self protection story. I want to be (she stands up straight) 'P repaired', then sat down.

Adam "Whenever you can make it Anna, I'd hate for a raccoon to catch you at a trash bin. They're very small needles." He says then eats quickly. "My pager went off. I need to go." He leaves enough for his bill on the table and a tip, grabs a final swallow of coffee and heads out the door.

Eien glances at his watch .. his scheduled time is up. He bows. "It has been an honor serving you all." and he heads for the door closest to his home.

As they both finish up their meals, Oshi pays cash, for the brunch and give Eien a 30% tip. She bows to all her friends at the place, and smiles, and then looking at Tatsus feet, and soiled socks, says “You want a 'Piggy Back Ride'?

Wolfgang waves at Anna as she goes and chuckling at  kendo and he oddly say a broken 'the faith of the village is with you young one ' in Japanese and bows and chuckles 'his Japanese unpracticed and minimalistic

Tatsu finishes, bows and when offered she says SURE! gleefully, and hops on Oshi's back as they head out the door.

Wolfgang  finishes his coffee and leaves his money and tip and stalks off.
