Time for a big ol' Nexus Block party

[sumarusfinest]

On a sleepy summer morning a wonderful smell begins to waft throughout the Nexus. For those familiar with this place there can only be one explanation but for those new faces to the nexus this may be a strange thing: seeing so many people flocking toward the sweet and savory scents perfuming the Nexus.

There are a few tables set out this morning in the Plaza in front of a small cafe loaded with several carafes of coffee, a myriad of pastries from more than a few different worlds and cultures, and a large pan of eggs and sausage kept warm over a chafing dish. On either end of the table are disposable plates, cups, and cutlery as well as a few welcome pamphlets in a small container. Along the front of the tables is a hand made banner.

Meet and Greet

Manning the tables is Katsuya Suou, red apron on and a cup of coffee in hand. He looks far too cheerful for how early in the morning it is. It's always satisfying to put one of these on and see the throngs of different people stuck in line together to get their food and find a place to sit among the tables and couches nearby.

"Right then, is anyone hungry? I've got more than enough here for everyone so please mingle among yourselves or feel free to ask me anything you'd like."


((OOC: This thread is ALL ABOUT threadjacking and hopping. I encourage folks to tag on each other's comments and mingle rather than to reply only to me. This is a huge opportunity to have your characters interact with people they wouldn't have talked to before. Branch out! Meet new people! Scheme new schemes! Steal the last chocolate croissant!))

"What, ya sayin' I look like a liar?" Majima asks with an exaggerated pout. He huffs, then abruptly pulls a knife from inside his jacket and skewers a link of sausage from the plate.

"Ya ain't been here very long, have ya, sweetheart?" he says, waving the blade-and-sausage before bringing it to his mouth for a bite.

[torsion]

"Nah, you look like you don't have a reason to be afraid of a wolf. Could be wrong, though."

She watches him curiously, more focused on the movement and ease of which he pulls out the knife than the knife itself or intent behind the gesture (she just figures it's face value, that he's just using it as he might any other time). Jill leans in and ducks to pull her survival knife from against her lower leg and mimic the gesture of stabbing food from the plate.

"Mine's bigger." Jill hums idly, almost appreciative before taking a small bite from her own knife then leaning back and away from him. "'fraid I haven't, though, darling."

Evidently, she's not a fan of being called sweetheart.

Majima slings an arm over the back of his cafe chair and watches her display with cool interest ... at least until she brings out the one-two punch of innuendo and sass. That prompts a staccato fit of giggles.

After a moment, he recovers with a sigh and swipes a pinky finger under his eye. "This is the part where I say, 'it ain't the size, it's how ya use it', right?"

He pops the other half of the sausage into his mouth and chews it thoughtfully. "Where ya from, honey?"
