The Chaniwa Bonsai

[Paddy]

oh, so how far to the nearest play house of the Geisha?

[planet]

is there a menu?

[Daddy-O]

*Skrobism brings Planet a cup of sake.

To drink we have tea, sake, biiru, and if you need something stronger - shochu. To fill your belly we have plenty of tasty dishes: sashimi, miso, tofu, onigiri, and of course a variety of sushi - just to name a few.

*Skrobism brings some biiru to Paddy.
I know that you'd be needing this cold one. Who is this geisha that you speak of?

[Paddy]

/me thanks Skrobichimu for his service and raises his cup in salute

ahhh Skrobichimu , she moves with mysterious ways, and has the power of bringing me to my knees, its alright, but I so do feel in a trance when I have have the pleasure of passing by. I have not full knowledge of this lady at this time, my sources tell me she is new to the area, and ahhhh

may I have more of this fire in a cup?

[Daddy-O]

More fire for Paddy.

KAN PAI!

Can I interest you in anything to eat?

A bowl of miso soup with cubes of tofu and a bowl of plain rice. And a few slices of pickled radish. Yum yum.
And keep the tea coming.

Thanks

*tea, miso with tofu, a bowl of rice, and pickled radishes are brought to the man with the Nikon.

SoS - I don't have any of this "Rum" as our trade routes only extend over the hills. If fire water is what you are looking for please try the shochu.

*A plate of bangers and mash is tossed to the table in front of the heathen with the finger up his nose.



I'll have to talk to that cat about the people he's been dragging in.

* Lord Samurai Paddiock Taronga enters, smiles and orders several dishes and sake

*A platter of several dishes, all containing rice, seaweed and fish are brought out to the table for Micha and Paddiock Taronga.

Enjoy your food and Sake.

Pictures of your food will follow soon.
