TG: this is going to be fucking stupid isnt it


[want to get in touch with Dave? you can leave a TEXT, VOICE, or VIDEO message — or alternatively, he shouldn't be too hard to track down in person.]

[purrtagonist]

I like the way you live on the edge.

[at least it'll still be edible]

[probably]

[oculusriffs]

[look, he's got no reason not to trust Akira; he hasn't steered Dave wrong!]

[maybe because he hasn't steered him into a pit of spicy lava just yet.]

Someone's gotta. 'Sides, I don't know shit about cooking; from where I'm sitting right now, you're already basically a better looking Emeril Lagasse.

[Dave.]

Think it's safe to assume you're not gonna melt my voicebox.

[purrtagonist]

[and then Dave never lets Akira cook for him again]

[also, uh]

Emeril who?

[oculusriffs]

Lagasse. Y'know, he cooks shit and yells catchphrases whenever he adds a spice or whatever.

[do it, Akira. lob those curry spices in the curry pot and throw out a pun while you're at it.]

[purrtagonist]

Never heard of him. How would you rank his catchphrases?

[he is absolutely going to do that just to prove he's better than this Lagasse dude]

[oculusriffs]

A complete embarrassment. I think you can do better than "let's kick it up a notch."

[purrtagonist]

[a brief pause, and then--]

Right. Got it. I'll whip up a catchphrase so witty you'll never see it cumin.

[badum. . . tsh. . .]

[oculusriffs]

[oculusriffs]

[Dave you literally encouraged this, you have no right to be making that face.]

Yeah. All right. I'll do my best to endure your brainstorming.

[purrtagonist]

[WHEN WILL YOU LEARN, DAVE]

Thanks for being my sounding board. Every great entertainer needs one.

[oculusriffs]

Yup. No problem.

[such suffering in that voice!]

[and while Akira finishes whipping up this potentially brain-melting bowl of curry, Dave will just go ahead and rhyme up that percolator he promised. because terrible puns that might prompt him to tattle on Akira or not, he did make a promise. and besides, the dude's still a bro.]

[purrtagonist]

[PERCOLATOR, GET! that means while the last of the curry is simmering, Akira can make them both a nice cup of joe. to go with the curry]

You know curry tastes better when chased with a cup of coffee?

[oculusriffs]

[they both start with c, so that's a good enough reason that they'd complement each other for Dave.]

Guess I'm about to find that out for sure. I mostly just stuck to snacks, the occasional Tex-Mex and apple juice back home.

[purrtagonist]

I did too, until my guardian showed me the light.

The curry filled light.

[less Tex-Mex and more burgers and junk food, but hey, it's similar]

[oculusriffs]

Your guardian?

[hey, that's how Dave refers to the person who raised him, when he isn't referring to him as his bro, so it pings him a little. also, gotta ask: how much did Akira sass Sojiro during his stay at the cafe?]</small.

[purrtagonist]

Ah-- yeah. My guardian.

[Akira would call him "dad" but he actually isn't sure how okay with that Sojiro is, so. . .]

He looked after me when I moved to Tokyo, and gave me a place to live in the attic of his coffee and curry cafe.
