maneki and swift.

((maneki, post))

Maneki went over to the door and stood there greeting everyone who went through it by saying "hello and welcome." Then he led them to an open table. Maneki then went back to greeting people.

(is it my turn to post?)

Ki was busy making foods of all sorts: Omlets for the early birds, Phaal for the adventurers, Tea for the calm and Dumplings for the regulars. Ki loved making the dumplings because it reminded him of when he first bought the shop from his student's boss. The boss was now on a personal island sipping a margarita, but Ki now owned the best resort in the world.
The Dumpling shop was never taken down, but simply expanded upon. the dumpling shop was now his kitchen. the wood, stones, and the rest of the kitchen was the same.

Delilia sighed and began teaching Swift how to read again. Making it into a game while she placed the needles on the man. " ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ. There are only 26 letters in this alphabet. It has rules to how to go along with them. Though english is very lenient. It skips rules and has as many holes as swiss cheese. Or as a blind triggerhappy gennin."

“I know all about the alphabet. I just….Forgot some words and stuff.” Swift said looking at the needle filled man. And then down at the scroll again, and managed to decipher the line except for the long word here and there. Unfortunately being able to read. “ the needle is placed in the upper ………….. And then is followed by a second needle in the……” did not help swift understand acupuncture. Although she was able to get a good grasp of it by watching deliria. swift continued pretend to read and watch delilia

Dellilia nodded. " Then study the words and sound them out. the word that you couldn't get has 4 syllables. Half of them are " acu". She continued to stick needles of several different areas of the body. After that she placed unmarked oils on the man's body. Dellilias jewlrey clinked with the music of the flute and harp. Her white kimono turned to several tanned shades in the candlight. All of it was relaxing and she began to sing silently in a different language. It came with clicks and hisses, it drew swifts, the music players and the customer. The music stopped and made everyone's mind go numb. After a little while she stopped and removed the needles. she helped the man up and gave him a white robe. " please enjoy the rest of the day, sir."

Throughout the entire morning, it was always the same. music, needles, oils, singing, and the removing of needles. at the end, Dellilia got up and streached lightly. " well, it looks like its time for you to go see master Ki."
