3 Petals

Characters: [OU] Aerith Gainsborough and whoever would like to join her at the feast!
Setting: The Canteen
Format: Whichever you prefer, I'm flexible!
Summary: Aerith heads to the canteen to ~~steal all the food~~ try out some new foreign delicacies
Warnings: None ~~Aerith being Aerith!~~

After a rather encouraging response from the tower Aerith finally decides to make her way down to the canteen. She hasn't eaten in quite some time and is ready to sample all the food on offer. Although looking slightly disheveled from her arrival she still makes an effort to clean up her appearance before venturing into the food hall. She's dressed in her favourite pink dress and bolero combo, her hair has been combed and re-styled and she's even managed to wash her face and reapply some much-needed make-up.

At last she stands in the open doorway of the canteen and spys the variety of tables brimming with various types of food. Some very foreign to her, some... still moving! But eventually she comes across a hidden little pile of food she's familiar with.

"Well, look at that!" She exclaims to herself as she comes across a rather strangely coloured apple. "I didn't realise you could find these anymore! Dumbapples are so rare, I've only ever tried the canned juice!" and with that said Aerith picks up one of the blue-purple apples and begins to start a collection of food "Oh! And Wutai sushi? They must have good contacts here!"

Kafuka is doing what Kafuka does best: look cute, act unassuming and smile a lot. She moves around the tables, trying this or that, eyeing people and ever so casually picking at her food. When she spots Aerith, she smiles to herself and very casually approaches her.

"Hi!" She says, bright and optimistic as usual, "is this food from your world?"

What an absolute cutie, Aerith thought to herself, this girl was the spitting image of Yuffie and Aerith couldn't help but catch that infectious little smile.

"Hello," she responds, corners of her eyes creasing with happiness "Yes, this is food from my home, why? Would you like to try some?"

"I would love to!" She smiles brightly. "I've been trying out different stuff from different worlds, but. I think it's better if you have someone to help!" She gives Aerith a hopeful look. "Did they bring your favorite, too?"

"There are a lot of things here that I like, personally I think the food from Wutai is really good!" and with that Aerith takes a clean plate for her new companion and begins to pile on some of the more colourful items of food from her planet's Far East "This is called sushi," she explains contentedly "Rice with fish, and sometimes egg! The egg one is my favourite, it's really sweet!"

"Oooh, you have sushi in your world too! That is so cool," Kafuka nods along Aerith's explanation, expression bright and open - or seemingly open, anyway. "There's sushi where I'm from too!"

*At least he recognizes her voice. Enoch is waiting as he'd said, with a plate of bread rolls. Since she knows what he looks like, he's expecting her to find him, though when he hears her voice he looks up.*

Aerith recognised that tanned skin and blond hair in an instant and approaches him, her hands linked behind her back and a coy smile on her face.

"Hello," she begins, trying to catch his eye "So you did come, I didn't think you had the courage to come and meet me!" she teases.

Enoch's distinctiveness had been both a blessing and a curse throughout his life. In this case, at least, it couldn't really hurt him! He looked up at her as she approached, smiling a bit at her teasing. That sort of humor might have irritated him centuries ago, but then, traveling with Lucifel for three centuries tends to acclimate one to teasing.

"Given life in this tower, not having the courage to meet someone for a meal would seem odd, wouldn't it?"

"Hm, good point!" Aerith agreed with a smile, turning back to look at her homeworld's food. "So, you're going to come over to my table and try out some of the food I'm used to, aren't you? I promise to find you at least one thing you'll fall in love with!"

Enoch pushed some of the bread rolls aside on his plate to make room and stood to look at the table she had her eye on. "You mentioned a platter...?"

Well, he had to start somewhere...

Oatmeal just doesn't cut it. It really doesn't.

So, when her explorations and searching on foot and over the network lead her to this gem of an opportunity, it's one America can't rightly pass.

She arrives as well, looking just a little tired, but otherwise very upbeat and energetic. Even her hair and makeup are in order and upon arrival, her eyes sparkle and she practically bounces on her heels.

"Oh, wow!" she exclaims excitedly, enraptured by the available spread of edible items. Turning to the nearest person--who happens to be Areith--she continues to beam. "What're you gonna have? I'm so hungry, and that oatmeal stuff is pretty bad."

"Oh," Aerith starts, as if she'd been standing there just waiting for someone to ask her that question "I'm going to try at least one of everything, maybe more, and then? I'm going to take some back to my room. The things that are dry and won't spoil of course! What about you? Have you tried the Rocket Town hotdogs? They're pretty good!" the Cetra says, pointing them out.

*Allen's decided to poke around the canteen in his natural form today, curious about the foods that are available. Some of them are familiar, some of them are very, very odd. But hearing someone talk about one of the slightly unusual things catches his attention and he walks over.*

I take it those are from your world, then?

"These?" Aerith checks, pointing out the dumbapples "Yep, they're from my home." her home, her planet as it were "They're called dumbapples and they're so rare that I've never even seen one up close, but you can buy the cans of their juice pretty easily! Although everyone says that it's all synthetic and not actually made from the apples. Why? Do you want to try one?"

[Unfortunately, it's better than anything Maya could make.]

Yeah, the selection is great! It's like they gathered food from all the different worlds!

[ Aerith turns to the brunette beside her and nods several times ]

Isn't it interesting? I recognise all the food at this table, but there are lots of things I've never ever seen before!

One of the jobs I wished I had the chance to do would be a food reviewer - just traveling about, tasting all the great food, and helping restaurants out by giving them great reviews!

[smile]

The name's Maya Amano. What's yours?

[She'd give Aerith a business card, but she happens to be short on them at the moment. Settle for a high-five instead?]

[ Aerith returns the smile and proceeds to introduce herself ]

Nice to meet you Maya, I'm Aerith.

[ She felt that calling people by their full name always took too long and Aerith preferred to keep it short and sweet. Not quite understanding the high-five she simply takes Maya's open-palmed hand and shakes it. ]

So, would you like to come and critique some of my homeland's food then?

I would love to!

[Okay, so she comes from a world where there are no high-fives. Cool!]

Trying out new food is always fun! Which dish should we critique first?

[ Aerith led Maya back to the table that had been piled high with familiar food from her home world and turned back to the cheery brunette ]

Hm, which should we try? I know most of this food but I think we should try the barbecue meat platter first! This was something they used to do in an area close to me so I think I know how it should taste!

Pain in my ass. Majima thought to himself once more before he went to sit down at one of the offered tables. He leaned back so that he could prop his legs up on its surface. Actually, he wasn't feeling that hungry, but he already said that he'd keep a look out that not too many creeps would show up. Like he told Aerith, slime had a way of surviving -- even if it was being chosen to this place. He rocked a few times in his chair, careful not to lean too far back.

Aerith was busy piling her plate high with comforting, familiar food when she spotted a young man with an eye-patch teetering dangerously on a near-by chair. As much as she tried to hold back, it wasn't long until Aerith tottered over and said:

"You should be careful. If you lean back too far you'll topple over and some of the food might get spilt in the process!"

Majima would probably recognise her voice immidiately and now he would have a face to go with it.

"I'm like a fuckin' cat. I land on my feet." He opened his arms like he was going to actually prove what he could do by leaning all the way back, but then folded them immediately after. Turning his head slightly, he looked to her with a slight nod.

"So, this is how ya look in person, eh, Aerith?" A thoughtful frown before looking back up at the ceiling. "Not bad. The camera adds a few pounds." He smiled brightly then and snickered to himself as his teasing.

And with that Aerith couldn't help but playfully push Majima's arm. "Oh! I take it back! I hope you do fall!" she teased right back.

A moment's pause before she added "I didn't think you were really going to come, you didn't seem very keen on the idea.

"Like I said, I'm a cat." He shrugged lightly, but did pull his legs off the table so that he could sit properly. Turning about the chair so he could face her, he decided that was the least he could do.

"I'm not really, but I already said the reason that I'm here."
