Jazz returns from her latest sea voyage to the newly finished port at Shibuya.

Jazuhanzu
Shibuya

The newly completed port has one of its first visitors. A fourland dukedom ship sailing under the Zorah clan's auspice, it would appearq. Jazz had mentioned on New World chimlinks she was on her way back, and aqt this late hour, it finally appears that she's here.

FOr what it's worth, as theyyapproach the dock, the Lander crew seems both excited *and* exhausted at the same time.

Jazz herself is seated quietly on deck, off to one side, the brass astrolabe clutched tightly in her hands.
Merek
Shibuya

    Merek would take a look around when Jazuhanzu comes back, along with the dark attire he often wears with the shemagh adjusted about him, taking the time to watch a little bit tiredly. When he comes upon the woman there's a nod along, "Welcome back!" he states.
Hifumi
Shibuya

    Hifumi has a layout of food that any Japanese resturant could be proud of, from pork loin to noodles. With a charcoal grill set up for eel and yaki. The chef looks pleased with his work.
Miho
Shibuya

Miho has been meaning to catch a boat back to her smithy after her fight with the undead. She was waiting here just by chance for the next boat out. That's when Jaz's owns hip comes in as she has some time? She'll come to greet the mighty explorer as she returns. She will wave her tail swaying also wait food? Okay that has Miho's attention here too. "Jazuhanzu! Welcome back sounds like you had quite the time out there."
Jazuhanzu
Shibuya

The ship arrives at dock indeed and the jubilant landers saunter off and are immediately drawn to the buffet. Food that doesn't taste like crackers must surely be a novelty to them.

In any event, Jazz is one of the last off the ship whilst Mifa and a couple of her crew remains aboard.

The undine definitely is exhausted and worn down if the holes in her boots are anything to go by, but, if anything, she seems relieved.

"The astrolabe is functional," she informs everyone assembled, blinking at the varied sorts who've welcomed her. And the food.
Merek
Shibuya

    Merek nods a bit along to Jazuhanzu, "I'm glad for you," he notes, while he takes a moment to also pick up food from Hisame.
Hifumi
Shibuya

Hifumi taps the keg of real beer he brought for the sailors. Sets out a few bottles of real sake and wine as well as juices. He starts grilling up some cluckclucks in a sweet tangy sauce. "Good to hear it works... now did you try to proove the world is round, or just that the stars work?" he asks as he serves up hot cooking along with the food on the table that has been kept warm or cool with magic as needed.
Miho
Shibuya

Miho says "That's good to hear, and how about you heave something. Well this world mnight not be round, we have no idea really." She'll hold off from food letting Jaz get some first but she will get her hands on a little. "Undead are really moving again, we were lucky to save that convoy eariler."
Jazuhanzu
Shibuya

"It's round," confirms Jazz, "And about half the size of our own, at a best guess."

Jazz shrugs her shoulders at Hifumi as she casually drops that bit of information. "But it works! Which means we can make more. Which means ocean exploration, barring leviathin attacks, will now be more... possible, and we can more easily travel safely overland as well. Now, to make some proper star charts." She looks down at the food, then casually picks up a pair of chopsticks.
Hifumi
Shibuya

    Hifumi nods "Good to know good to know. I just like running my Inn and cooking for you crazy folks who like to go poke around the world. I'm just that slice of home that helps make you feel cozy when you come back." he says and sips his own juice, man's a teatotaler .. or would be if he didn't smoke.
Miho
Shibuya

Miho says "It seems I twice escaped ending up an OL." She'll much some food. "Then again I was the /oni/ in school." Tail swish and she pauses for a moment. "There's a reason my smith is close to where you have your Inn Hifumi."
Jazuhanzu
Shibuya

"OL?" asks Jazz. She is perhaps not up on all the lingo, but then again, she's not Japanese. Still, Hifumo gets a curteous bow from her as she digs into her share of food, exhausted. Honestly, she smells like she hasn't even noticed her 'smelly' debuff for some time. She really needs to take carfe of that.

Maybe after she eats.
Merek
Shibuya

    Merek would look to be content to take a bite of the food, while he begins to listen to people in thought.
Hifumi
Shibuya

    Works the grill and pours booze for the sailors as well as helping out every one else who's here for the return. "Little Aku I'm sure." he says sticking his tongue out at Miho "And I know, having good food and good company is something everyone needs. That's why I want to be around to provide it. I'll do what I can for my neighbors but the real goal is to have the best Ryoken in this new world."
Miho
Shibuya

Miho says "Office Lady, Jaz. Living in America for a bit made me question a lot of things when I got back from that. I'm glad Grandpa put up with me begging him to take me as a student. I just never fit back in once I returned.
Hifumi
Shibuya

    Hifumishrugs "Never left Japan myself." he says "Been up and down the islands but never left." he chuckles "But then I was trying to become the best chef I could be with classical training."
Miho
Shibuya

Miho says "You seem as deadicated to the art of being a Chef as my family is to smithing." She grins a bit at this.
Hifumi
Shibuya

    Hifumi chuckles "Well spent most of my adult life learning it." he says "Started out in middle school with school classes, then cooking club. By the time I went to high school I got a job after school at a local resturant, and spent nearly fifteen years mastering it." he sighs and rubs right hand fingers over the nearest rough surface... a tick people who spend time around him notice anytime he brings up the past, his right hand goes out looking for something with exagerated texture, or heat, or cold.
Jazuhanzu
Shibuya

"...ah. Yeah. Sorry, even with the translation software, I still miss things. My Japanese was never perfect before. NEver *bad*, but there are ... cues, I'll miss. Cultural context I'm still lacking." She muses aloud, Jazz shrugging her shoulders before she quietly digs in. She's definitely way exhausted herself. She barely seems to spend time tasting it, even if she seems to approve.
Miho
Shibuya

Miho says "Don't worry about it you should have seen my early days at school in America." She giggles at this and downs some more food. "Still thinking about that day the translation broke...for a moment. I'd still consider working on your japanese. It will be hell for the no native players if it ever gave out..."
Hifumi
Shibuya

    Hifumi nods his fingers tapping and rubbing lightly. "Yah would suck if the translations stopped, not just player to player... do the Landers in other places speak something other than Japanese?" he quirks an eyebrow.
Miho
Shibuya

Miho says "We should start on learning the lander's lanauges I think."
Jazuhanzu
Shibuya

"I already speak Japanese well enough," replies Jazz.

Having finished her meal, she sits down against a barrel, and then ...

... she's out.

Wow. That no-sleep debuff caught up with her.
Miho
Shibuya

Miho would help carry Jazz to somewhere safer to sleep, yes she's pretty darn strong even with her size.
