Quest: Holo, Goodbye

Mitsuhide was used to going on missions for the Oda Forces. Though, those missions were usually not for the faint of heart and had a fair amount of danger to them. Despite his willingness to do the Oda Forces dirty work, he didn't enjoy it. So when he saw the quest to collect a rock for an elderly woman, he decided it would be a welcomed change of pace. Though, out of habit, he wore his armor and kept his weapons on him. His pet fox and kitsune familiar running around at his feet.

It took him some time to get past the farm land, but once the farms were behind him, it was easy to see where his target was. It was like the water of the river was a rainbow itself. Nearby, one could see the fairies fluttering about. Definitely a sight that Mitsuhide never would have dreamed of.

After taking in the scene, he headed towards the water, since that was most likely where he was going to find a holographic rock.

Cookie Picking

Mitsuhide knew better than anyone else what war could do to those who were just caught in the cross fire. Though there were several options open, going to the orchard to pick cookies sounded silly and the most amusing to him.

So here he was, up in a tree with a basket, picking cookies. He had no plan on eating any of them. Sweets were wasted on him since he couldn't taste anything. He may give a couple to Chimaki and Sake, but the rest he planned on turning in. He definitely wasn't going to give any to Nobunaga. It was pretty clear that his lord didn't need anymore sweets.

New job?

One thing was for sure, Mitsuhide needed something to earn gold. Doing quests wasn't going to be enough. So, obviously it was time to get a job. And what better job for someone who has a talent for gathering information than a bartender? He had done something similar to it while working undercover in some enemy regions. Though, really all that involved was serving sake. There no such thing as mixed drinks back in his world. But the recipes for the mixed drinks were simple enough and he was given a "cheat sheet" until he can memorize them all.

Though when he first talked with the bar owner, Mitsuhide was confused when he was asked if he knew how to juggle. He grew even more confused at the owner's excitement when he answered "yes." Apparently, bartenders were also supposed to entertain the patrons, as well as serve them drinks. This was bound to be interesting.

Bartending

[konpeito_aji]

"Balance it on your head!"

Nobunaga is just helping you get tips. Totally.

[damn_kitsune]

"Balancing bottles on my head is not a requirement, my lord."

Says this all while juggling three bottle of some pretty expensive liquor. Needless to say, that had drawn a lot of attention.

[konpeito_aji]

"But juggling is?" HEAD TILT!

[damn_kitsune]

"It's suppose to mix the liquor well. Or so I've been told."

Manages to catch all three bottles and start pouring drinks.

"But really, it's just to add flair."

[konpeito_aji]

"So balance it on your head."

Better flair!

THREAD 1 OF 2 YOU EVIL PERSON YOU! Holo

[song_princess]

For Leanne, every since she arrived here, she had preferred to stay out of the city as much as possible to be out in the country. Despite her fear and shyness towards humans, she had heard about the plight of the elder and wanted to help grant her that one last wish. With Rafiel by her side, she also went out on her small quest to help the elderly.

Perhaps it was chance or fate decided to mock her as Rafiel chirps at the sight of the two foxes and... nudges Leanne towards them.

"Rafiel quit it!!!" And because of her griffin, Leanne missed just who her familiar was pushing her towards.

Hopefully Mitsuhide can detect them before Leanne accidentally crashes into him.

WHAT!? I'M A PERFECT ANGEL!

[damn_kitsune]

He would have to be deaf if he didn't detect all that noise.

Mitsuhide was about to step into the river when he heard his foxes make such excited noises. He paused and turned to see Leanne being pushed towards him. With a chuckle his hands come up to catch her arms before she is pushed into him.

"Well well, the not tengu girl has come out." He makes sure she is steady on her feet before he let go of her arms. "What brings you out here?"

LIEEEEES~

[song_princess]

Leanne will have to squeal over his foxes later. At least until after she is done blushing and wanting to disappear on the spot. Especially when he catches her arms like that and her griffin moves to lay down near the foxes, watching them and trying to snap at their tails.

"I am a Heron, not this tengu." And, that was nice of him to make sure of that. "I wanted to help the elder find a rock... She seemed to be so sweet."

MEANIE!!!!

[damn_kitsune]

Chimaki and Sake darted around and playfully yipped at that griffin.

Mitsuhide gave a chuckle and took a small step back. He knew that she didn't trust humans for whatever reason. "My apologies, Lady Heron. I have yet to learn your name so I cannot call you by that."

He turned back to the river and nodded. "I'm actually here for the same reason. I saw the quest on the smart phone device and decided to find a rainbow rock for her as well."

NOT A MEANIE!

[song_princess]

Rafiel perked up a bit and continues to give them playful pecks.

A tilt of her as he steps back and she found herself grateful of the small gesture. "No apologies needed, my lord. If one needs to apologize it is this one. I am known as Leanne, the daughter of Lozereth of Serenes."

Her wings perked up and a soft small smile finds its way on her lips. "Perhaps if my lord doesn't mind this one's company, we can look for one together. With two pairs of eyes we can find it more easily."

2 OUT OF 2 THREADS! COOKIE TIME!

[song_princess]

Cookie picking. This... This was something that a little nestling might have dreamed up. With a basket by her side, Leanne was idly and semi gracefully moving from branch to branch, harvesting cookies. Once a basket gets full enough, Rafiel would fly up to take it from her before bringing her a new empty basket.

It was pretty fun but after filling one, Leanne decided to take a break, panting a little from all the work she put in. She doesn't have a lot of stamina, so what?

Then a familiar scent came around and oh goddess.... Not him again. The embarrassing first meeting still plays on in her mind and remains fresh in her memories.

[damn_kitsune]

Mitsuhide was already working on his third basket. He heard rustling of branches nearby, but he paid it no mind. Either a bird had landed, or it was someone else picking cookies. He was more concern with keeping an eye out for the wasp nests anyway.

He sat, balanced on a branch as he reached up to pick two sugar cookies. Once he had them he looked down to the ground where his foxes were. "Sake! Chimaki! Catch!" Instead of putting the cookies in the basket he had with him, he tossed them down to his pet and familiar. He gave a real smile as he watched them catch the cookies and start munching on them. With a chuckle, he turned back to picking more cookies, still not paying any mind that someone may be close by.

[song_princess]

Leanne blinks as she catches sight of the two foxes. The sight of them helped made her blush fade... Just a little bit.

She sees that smile on him and chuckles a little. "You are going to make them fat, my lord."

[damn_kitsune]

That was when Mitsuhide realized that what landed in the tree near by wasn't a bird. But instead of acting startled when she spoke up, he calmly turned to her.

"Ah, it seems like a little bird has come to also pick cookies." He had to tease her. It was one of the ways he knew how to cover that she managed to sneak up on him.

"And I wouldn't worry about them getting fat. They are quite energetic after all. See?" And he gestured back down to the grow at the two foxes. It was just that it appeared that the two had gotten a case of the "zoomies." Chimaki started racing around with Sake right behind her.

[song_princess]

Did.... Did he truly not realize that she was also there? She got you~

Her wings ruffled at being called 'little' and a small sigh leaves her. "Yes, I am. It is food and I have been picking cookies for a while next to you. I am surprised that it took this long to notice me." Turnabout is fair play.

But then he points to the foxes having a bad case of the zooming and giggles at the sight. "You are lucky to have them. They are quite adorable." She goes to speak warmly before tossing a cookie or two towards the pair of foxes.

Forgot to say, Cookie Picking

[enchantressofore]

"All right all right, you do not need to shove at me!"

It seemed like Mitsuhide wasn't alone in picking cookies off of the local flora. A petite redhead was being pushed along by what appeared to be a horse with one horn, said horse being careful to make sure its horn was sliding between the red head's arm and torso. Adela herself couldn't help a sigh in exasperation, though there was the slightest hint of a smile as she leaned back to pet down its neck once it stopped pushing.

"I suppose you want a few of these for your-hmm?"

Adela got distracted by the little white fox near one of the trees, and without much hesitation she walked forward, crouching a few feet away as she looked at it, "Well, you seem unusual. Are you by yourself, little one?"

Not that she was expecting an answer, but still. She'd never seen a fox with a white coat before... Maybe that was another mystical creature from this place, like her unicorn.

[damn_kitsune]

Mitsuhide heard the girl with the strange horse approach, and looked down from his perch up in the tree. It seemed the girl had taken an interest in Chimaki, who was currently munching on a cookie that was on the ground. Sake was on the other of the tree out of the line of sight for the redhead.

He sat back on the branch he was on, his back against the trunk of the tree. This was bound to be amusing to watch.

Chimaki looked up at girl, her tail wagging some, as she made the 'hehehe' noises that foxes made. Meanwhile, Sake had came back around the tree, and was now behind the girl. Suddenly the three tailed kitsune ran to her, jumped on her back in order to volt over her. Once he landed, he ran to Chimaki, turned to the girl, crouched on the ground, and gave a foxy like laugh with all three of his tails waving playfully in the air.

[enchantressofore]

Hopefully no one would mind the high-pitched yelp she let loose from her at the sudden action. Adela lost her balance, leaning forward then overcompensating so that she fell onto her rear. After blinking a couple of times she sighed hard, nearly pouting at the two in front of her and giving them a rather uninterested look.

"Do I look like a stepping stool to you?" Again, she didn't expect an answer, but it made her feel a little better to ask that and to express that exasperation. Still, Adela found herself smiling a little before she picked up the sack she had been planning on using for collecting cookies, "I suppose you two are as hungry as my friend here?"

[damn_kitsune]

If Adela thought that Sake was more than just an animal, she would have notice him nodding his head that the stepping stool question, along with more laughing like fox noises. Well, he was a yako kitsune, might as well live up to it.

Meanwhile, Mitsuhide was still up in the tree, but now he was laughing. "Don't let them fool you." He called down to her. "They have been snacking on cookies since we got here."

[enchantressofore]

She was starting to think they were mocking her, but then there was some laughter that was unlike the foxes'. She looked up then, still sitting where she was and frowning a little at him. Mostly because he was laughing too, but she could at least satiate some curiosity while they were there.

"Are they yours, sir? I have never seen foxes like them before."

[onecupdrunk]

"You've got something interesting on special here?"

Masamune was grinning as he seated himself at the bar, seeming to be entertained by the show Mitsuhide was giving. Granted, he knew the place served booze, but he wasn't going to distrust the food at least. Might be worth seeing if it was any good, if nothing else.

[damn_kitsune]

Mitsuhide doesn't miss a beat as he continued to juggle the bottles of alcohol.

"Well, food is served here, but I only serve the drinks." Really, Masamune? Would you really trust this guy to bring out any food to anyone? "But what seems to be popular is a basket full of something called 'fries.' It's really just fried slices of poptato."

[onecupdrunk]

If he thought Mitsuhide had any motive, perhaps, but as it was Masamune didn't exactly have any reason to distrust Mitsuhide right then and there either... Except with the drinks.

"That's another new dish, I'll have to see if I can make it my own, but you'll have to tell me about the types of drinks that go well with those kinds of food."

A pause.

"... Besides Sake."

[damn_kitsune]

"Ah, but sake goes with everything." Or at least it does as far as Mitsuhide is concern. Of course he has not sense of taste and he drinks sake like it is water.

He stopped juggling the bottles in order to finish mixing a drink for another customer. Once done, he turned back to Masamune. "But people here seem to drink mostly beer. It's not as strong as sake, and it fizzes." It certainly was a strange sensation going do one's throat. "There are also several drinks that are not alcoholic that people also favor, like soda, and something known as a 'virgin cocktail.'"

[onecupdrunk]

He shouldn't have been curious about beer (considering from what Mitsuhide said it's still alcoholic), but at the same time he was. But the fact that there were several non-alcoholic drinks caught his interest, and he just raised a brow at that last one because

"A virgin drink? What's one that isn't a virgin then?"
