Kai's Snack Shack

Hey, what's up? The name's Kai. This here's my little snack shack. Don't let the name fool you, I serve up the best grub this side'a the Sunshine Islands. So don't be shy, come on in and take a breather!

Are you a ladies man?

"Ehh… I’m not into labels myself, dude. But, hm, let’s just say I know a few guys who wouldn’t disagree with you."

[coolguykai-blog]

As a follow-up question, what is the dirtiest meal you've ever made? Sexiest?

"I really don't know how to describe a dirty meal, man... It's not the food that makes a sexy meal, it's the.." /shrugs/ "..Well, the after party, I guess."

[coolguykai-blog]

Have you ever modeled the design of a dish after a certain part of yourself? Say, with a banana or a cucumber? Did you ever serve it to a girl?

"Never to a girl, no! But when I was, like, younger or whatever, I used to do it when I’d make my brothers food. Sometimes to screw with ‘em, sometimes if I thought they needed a laugh."

Really? Well, okay.. If you insist. I can’t exactly make you not pay, can I? But I guess I’ll just owe you a favor for the publicity. Fair? /he gives her a smile and a wink before she changes the subject, smoothly transitioning into a casual shrug/

Yeah, we don’t get many...

[coolguykai-blog]

Whoa, no way! Really? /laughs a little/ Small world, isn't it? I only plunk down here in Mineral Town during the summer, so I travel all around the rest of the year. I've probably set up some kinda little place like this on every boardwalk on the mainland, and a few off!

/nods/ Yeah, that's what I like about little towns like this. The people, the weather -- everything's just so... nice here. /waves his hand/ Not that I can't handle the shit that tends to go down in the city, but peace and quiet always is a nice change of pace.

@My main man Gray

Kai smiled as he walked a step and a half faster until he was side by side with Gray.  Shrugging at Gray's question, he smirked casually. "Eh, you know me. Around."  He brought a hand up and gave his friend's shoulder a hearty pat. "What about you, dude? How's the whole blacksmith thing going?"

[coolguykai-blog]

Has your snack shack ever turned into a love shack? If so, when and how? ;)

"Hehe.  Nah, it’s pretty small in there.  And besides, that’d be pretty unsanitary."

"…But who knows~? Are you volunteering? Maybe if you promise to stick around and help me clean up afterward~"

[coolguykai-blog]

TMIs? Well, since you asked so nicely~

The Friendliest Critic [Felicity&Kai]

[ladyintheapron]

Psssh! No need to feed me for free. I'll pay just like everyone else. But, if ya want me to get you some publicity, I'll type up an article when I get home. [takes a few more small bites of the dessert before moving on to the corn] I don't reckon many outsiders come to Mineral Town for leisure trips.

Yeah, we don't get many new faces out here in the boonies. /goes back to polishing glasses as he continues/  But I guess that's what gives this place its charm.  I may not get the kinda business I get back on the city beaches... But having a handful of loyal customers who never cause a scene or anything is nothing to sneeze at.

Meanwhile, a Game of Freeze Tag in an Undisclosed Location [Mist/Lest/Pete/Kai]

[princelest]

The young prince checked his surroundings. There were four of them, but not one familiar face was in the crowd, unless of course you count the strange woman that dragged him here. He listened carefully to the game and it’s rules, perking up with excitement. Just what he had be hoping for! Now he could finally have some fun.

He nodded his head fully understanding, the game seemed like a lot of fun and hey, free gifts! Lest did have one question however so he raised his hand in the air, and shouted out, not bothering to be called on. “Um, hey! So yeah, who’s it?”

[positively-pete]

Pete was confused, really confused. He didn’t quite understand how he was taken all the way to a place he was far from familiar with just for a game of freeze tag.

Gifts? He didn’t have any gifts. He had a string and a fuzzy in his pocket, but he wasn’t sure if those would count. “Uh, yeah, I have a question.” He raised his hand. “Do string and pocket fuzz count as gifts?”

[coolguykai-blog]

Never could it be said that Kai was a killjoy, but he was still having a hard time wrapping his head around this 'game' he suddenly found himself dragged into.  Looking around, it was obvious he'd never met any of these people -- even if the guy to his right seemed to have just about the exact same fashion sense as that one dorky farm back in Mineral Town.

At the farmer dude's question, Kai took a little peek into his own pockets.  He let slip a little smirk as he saw the little bag of dried fruit he'd picked up before leaving the Inn that morning. "I guess I'm with Little Mister Cape," he said finally, hitching a thumb in Lest's direction. "How do we decide who's it first? And I guess, uh... how many rounds 're we going through?"

@Kai

[ladyintheapron]

[ignores the corn for a moment to try the ice and is pleasantly suprised] Mmm! It’s very good.

[she purses her lips into a smile] Well, not only am I waitress, but I’m also a food critic. So I know what I’m talking about.

[coolguykai-blog]

Haha! /grins, pleased/ I'm glad you like it.  I run this little joint all by my lonesome, so it feels good to know I'm really churnin' out food people like.

/blinks/ No kiddin'? A real critic? /smiles, almost flushing with pride/  Well, hey, that just makes it all the better! I s'pose I should let you have everything on the house, then, huh?  In return for some nice free press, you know?  /shrugs/  That's how it works in the city, at least.

Maids and Pineapples

[coolguykai-blog]

Meg? All right, yeah, that’s perfect! /grins/

Hmm… /puts a hand on his chin, thinking/ Oh, hey, I got it! Think you could maybe cook me something? I’d love to see what kinda food they serve up around here.

[lovelymargaret-blog-deactivated]

O-Oh, what should I make then? Is there anything you want in particular? Porcoline is our head chef, I’m just a singer… But I can cook, I promise—!

[coolguykai-blog]

Nothin' that comes to mind... /smiles, giving her shoulder a pat/ How about you just make me something you're confident making. That sounds like a good start, right?

[ladyintheapron]

@Kai

Thank you! [she breaths in deeply through her nose and smiles] Smells wonderful!

[when he lists the flavors, Felicity purses her lips, and then nods] Pineapple please!

[coolguykai-blog]

You got it! /brings the finished bowl over with a smile, leaning on the counter so he can watch her reaction/

Y'know, you got good taste. And I don't just say that cuz you're in my restaurant. /grins/ ...But, of course, that's part of it~

Clam Sauce Linguine

"Yo-- I mean--" /laughs/ "Hey there, judges!  My name's Kai.  It's my experience that nothin' says summer like seafood, so I'm here to present my linguine with clam sauce.

"I start off by cooking the pasta like normal, drain it, set the pot aside.  Then I get a skillet, medium-ish size, and heat up some olive oil over a medium heat.  I put in a whole clove of garlic first, finely chopped, cookin' it up for about half a minute.  Then one by one I add in three whole diced tomatoes, 3/4 teaspoon of salt, a pinch of red pepper flakes, and about.. one cup of a nice dry white wine?

"After that comes to a boil, I add in the magic: twenty hand-picked littleneck clams.  Oh, and--" /leans in/ "Y'see the trick is getting the clams as fresh as can be.  So I'd like to point out I plucked these little guys out of my personal clam trap just this morning." /puffs his chest out, juuust a little, before laughing again/  "Anyway, anyway, I add the clams to the skillet and cover them.  After about 6 or so minutes the clams should have opened, and the ones that don't are no good so you gotta toss 'em.

"Then basically, all you gotta do is stir the sauce in with the pot of linguini. Me, personally, I like to top every serving with sprinkling of chopped tarragon for that last little dash of flair."

/puts his hands on his hips, grinning/ "Thanks for havin' me, I hope you all enjoy it!"

[coolguykai-blog]

Jack silently walks behind Kai, before walking ahead. Then he begins to walk around him. And then darts off.

"Oh hey, dude, wha— …. …. …. What, do I smell or something?"
