A Well Earned Celebration

[The battle was over and the god Reshiram defeated, driven away by the aid of Union and its allies. The city was safe, by and large, and as the news spread throughout the peoples of the tundra, they began streaming back into the settlement in droves. Dirty, ash-coated faces were filled with relief and gratitude when they saw that it wasn't just a rumor and that their home had indeed been spared. Not everyone was so lucky, but they'd weathered worse, of course. The people of Glacier endured, as they would always endure, and they were also a people that repaid their debts. And they most certainly all agreed that they owed their rescuers a debt.

So, as night fell after the battle, a great celebration was prepared in the center of Glacier. A wide square was cleared away in a matter of hours, and the people gathered what they could in a show of thanks. Tables of food, bonfires towering into the night sky to keep out the autumn chill, and throngs of cheering wellwishers lined the area. Warriors of glacier, men carrying swords and women all bearing axes offered enthusiastic handshakes and claps on the back. Music of all kinds was played, though tribal tunes full of horn and percussion, chanting and yodeling, and even some brass groups dominated the soundscape.

A platform for various elders was set up, and they offered speeches, of course...but those were somehow dwarfed by the presence of the divine beings that were waiting silently for the proceedings to end. Some of the gods that had come to the aid of the war parties had apparently decided to stay, though their reasons were as mysterious as they themselves. The humans would have their time, and the Servants would mingle freely throughout the evening.

Food, of course, is set out in piles. Meat, fish, arctic berries, and various pastries and the like line table after table. A smorgasbord of Glacier specialties, each with a new and unique flavor all their own, and some (such as the stew) possessing a smell that only a native could probably endure. Akutaq in particular seems to stand out among the worst offenders, but the Glacier natives seem rather fond of it, and offer it to their rescuers with great gusto.

And the rewards do not stop at simple meals. either. As the speeches begin to wind down, a woman some might find familiar walks up onto the stage carrying a singularly massive trunk and dropping it down onto the wood with a heavy thud.]


Southerners! You have done a great deed this day! We, the people of Glacier, would like to thank you and honor your sacrifice! Few would do as you have done, coming to the aide of strangers against the might of that dragon...and you have accomplished something we did not think possible. To that end, we would like to present you with the first of many gifts, a token of our gratitude and a promise that should you need it, we will come to your defense in a time of need!

[And then with a sharp kick, she cracks open the trunk and reveals a veritable treasure trove of three different stones to be distributed by her subordinates.]

Rest well, and enjoy the festivities! You are welcome here, for as long as you like! Eat, drink, and be merry within our halls!

[ This amused snorting noise is almost a laugh. Haruka is slightly too cool for a full laugh. ] True enough.

[ Now, let's sample the fare prepared by this oh-so-thoughtful chef... ]

[ Tendou knows how that works. Men must be cool, after all.

He's just going to watch Haruka with a smug smile on his face. He's completely confident in his cooking, and it's justified. It is, at the very least, better than most restaurants, despite being made in an open kitchen. ]

[ Over-the-top cooking animé reactions to people's cooking are also not Haruka Tenoh's style. But this sample makes her crack a smile.

Then she's helping herself to some more. If it's good, she might as well eat a full meal. ]
What d'you do in Union, anyway?

[ She knows nothing about this guy except that he can hold his own banter-wise and he comes from a rather, ah, opinionated family. ]

[ Hey, not putting the food down and finishing it in one go is high praise for a chef, too. It doesn't have to always come in the form of screaming about how amazing things are. ]

I'm a Trainer, of course. [ He certainly considers it his main profession. Becoming stronger and saving people, what could take priority over those? ] I'm also available for private bookings.

[ Mostly as a chef. Mostly. ]

So this is advertising. [ An effective businessman, indeed. Got to put food on the table - for himself and other people. ]
pathofheaven: (sunglasses go down)

Advertising, huh? It works out that way in the end, but I cook because I enjoy cooking. Grandma said that a truly famous store doesn't put up banners.

[ It's actually pretty amazing that Tendou keeps himself fed this way. But he also recently won himself a year's supply of free seafood, so hey, if all else fails he can eat fish to the end of days. ]

[ ...Considering how much advertising the Theater does (it's a lot), that amuses Haruka. She hefts her plate. ] Then I guess I'll go be word of mouth for the famous.

Thanks.

You're more than welcome. Food is made to be appreciated, after all. But if you're going to help with advertising, take some extra to share.

[ Haruka just smirks and turns to go, having already helped herself to extra fish. She knows one audience that can bearly wait... ]
