[hellpyre]

Who: Everyone!
Open: Open

Where: in front of the Distillery
What: No one died during the horrible plague scare! That's reason enough for a feast and a mingle log right?
Format: Any!
Warnings: Shouldn't be any but will adjust if needed

[Someone has been busy today. The kitchen and Distillery has been noisy and bustling, a departure from the much more quiet days when the illness was spreading through the Bastion and survival was once more on the uncertain scale of things. Somewhere around the time that the night cycle begins, when the sky is more of an orange-ish glow fading in to blue and purple, a large spread of food has been set up near the Distillery with glass lanterns hanging overhead.

Just like any other time there has been a feast be it random or planned, there is a wide selection of food on the covered, decorated tables. There's even meat this time! And yes, Aoi, your doughnuts have been transferred from your trees to a platter on the table. There's even a section for Paar, complete with massive amounts of bbq'd mammoth meat! You can thank Colin for that.

There's really no announcement for the feast, but chances are if you're outside at any point today you'll see the progress towards the set up, or smell the delicious scents wafting over the Bastion. (There might even be music playing, if Colin finds a way to provide it!)

Either way, come dusk food will be ready and mingling will be had!]

(ooc: Standard mingle log right here. Throw your threads up, poke other people's threads, and eat all the food!)

Kinda. It's not like how that guy N can actually hear them, but it's close. See I've always been able to hear demons, that's just a thing that comes with bein' a demon. But other stuff... I'unno it's more like I can understand what they're gettin' across, just not the actual words.

... that probably doesn't make any sense, does it?

[individuates]

It kinda does. Seimei can do the same thing.

[he is a little jealous that Seimei can communicate with Tama-chan better than he can, but he's incredibly lucky that Tama-chan is good at picking up cues.]

[hellpyre]

Yeah. It's a demon thing.

[That reminds her that she and Seimei had a talk while they were stuck in the hospital together, but... no. She won't bring it up. It was his thing to deal with.]

Anyway if Tepig is gonna have an actual name it should be somethin' else.

[individuates]

Clearly. [You demons and your skills…]

…well I'm looking forward to your suggestions.

[He still likes his ideas.]

[hellpyre]

. . . you are the least helpful.

[individuates]

Yes, you've said. So you come up with the suggestions on your own. I'll yea-or-nay them.

[hellpyre]

... fine.

[Thinking. Thinking.]

Kotarou?

[individuates]

…who is called Kotarou in this day and age?

[…oh. Nobody. That's who.]

[hellpyre]

I knew some one named Kotarou! ... his parents are pretty old fashioned though. I think they were from Kyoto. What's wrong with that anyway? He was born before Oshawott, it fits!

[individuates]

I still think Butarou is better.

[…maybe try to go for a name he can't bastardise?]

[hellpyre]

[He's going to figure out how to add "bu" to everything, isn't he?]

Why are you so stuck on stickin' "bu" in there? ... what about just "Taro"? With the Kanji for "heroic"?

[It's a wonder she even KNOWS that Kanji but by some miracle she does. Probably because of that kid she knew back home.

In either case, Tepig seems amused by both of these.]

Pig pig Tepig!

[individuates]

I can't see why it can't be buta-rou.

Wandering Pork.

[hellpyre]

Enough with the pork!

[Okay she might be laughing. But she's shoving him a little, too.]

Just... Taro. Okay?

Pig!

[individuates]

You know you secretly love the pork puns.

All right. Taro. Fine. [but it's so normal]

[hellpyre]

You're a dork.

[Rin picks up Tepig, holding him in front of her face.]

What'd'ya think, Taro-chan?

Pig!

Yup. That's a good one.

[individuates]

And you are surprisingly traditional. Taro it is, then.

[now he has to think of some good ways to mess up the name~!]

[hellpyre]

I was raised in a church, some'a that had to rub off on me.

[Really, Kaoru?]

[individuates]

[headtilt] …still though. That kind of suggests a more biblical set of names.

[yes. Really.]

[hellpyre]

I couldn't think of anythin' biblical that fit a fire pig.

[individuates]

…Taro's wouldn't exactly be anyone's first thought either, you realise.

[hellpyre]

What? I like the story of Momtaro okay? What's wrong with that?

[Admittedly she was thinking of it recently for no reason at all and it was still in her head when he said to come up with a name.]

[individuates]

Rin-chan.


You realise Momotaro is essentially the story of old couple sex, right?

The whole Oni-Battle part is just an added extra, and the bit about the kid coming from the peach is just to make it more kid-appropriate.

[hellpyre]

. . . seriously?! What the hell, the old man lied to me!

[individuates]

There are various explanations, but basically Obaa-chan ate this thing, probably a peach that made her super young and beautiful, right? And Ojii-chan comes back home from work and he's like, "whoa, who is this super hot babe hanging out in my house" and she's like, "Honey, it's me! Try this!" and he gets young and handsome and they get it on and make a baby.

Either that or they ate a super rancid peach and had a really bad trip. And if it was the first one, I dunno if they aged back after the baby was born, or before...

[hellpyre]

... I... seriously don't know which is worse--... is this the kinda shit I was missin' in class when I was just spacin' out? Like, seriously, why didn't I ever know this?! ... Yuki shoulda told me!
