Jikan - Welcome to the town [Private | Daryl] Downlo10


The town of Orchidia was an independent group. A people who for the longest time now had grown tired of the royal and political powers of Fiord. Being under their banner of the nation meant nothing to them if they felt there were no real connection to the nation. Sure, officials like Rune Knights were here at times, political positioned leaders as well, even the random lord of lands or their underlings. But for the most part, Orchidia and the rest of the North likewise. Fended for their self and created and provided for themselves.

In all seriousness it was a hands off relationship and one that had grown rebellious with acting more and more independent and like of a bratt. And for that Fiore had grown more and more...indifferent it seemed. At least to the people of Fiore.

Perhaps that is why when Jikana and Sleeping Calamity came there was an indifferent attitude? The kingdom had declared them a dark guild but the towns people have them a chance, a distance relationship. Over the two years dince Jikan had taken that opportunity and returned. Building the guild up and the town. In time, they have created a positive relationship. But it seemed at least the other Northern regions were cautious of Sleeping Calamity.

No matter.

Jikan walked the town in a sundress on this day. Her jewelry on but other items tucked away with Mia, her exceed her was with her. She wore a blue colored dress and matching heels, a pink floral pattern spread on the dress. The lovely patterns showing off of the fabric as she came and went. Doing her daily checks of the town and chit chatting with people.

"Maybe travelling by foot isn't the most efficient way t". Daryl thought to himself as he stepped into the town. He hadn't accounted for just how difficult it would be just to survive in the mountains.
"Oh, I'll be fine," he said to his mother when she told him to pack extra supplies for the road, how incorrect he was. He could now say he managed to make it to Fiore from Caelum. He would have to tell his parents when he finally got settled. What a pain.
He had very little luggage as his bag couldn't hold too much stuff after being attacked by a mountain lion. His first goal was to make some money so he could live in this city of freedom. He looked around for some rich people to work for and he spotted a rich-looking woman with red hair. She seemed to have an amazing taste in fashion and an Exceed by her side.

Daryl licked his hands and fixed his hair frantically before approaching the woman. He wasn't one to get nervous but she gave off a presence that didn't really represent "approachable". He put his bag down and took a few steps toward the woman who was currently chatting to what appeared to be a fruit merchant.

"Salu-er Hello ma'am, I was wondering if you needed help with anything and also willing to pay a poor adventurer".

Jikan

Non approachable? Well, some may say that that was an accurate description of the Guild Master of Sleeping Calamity. Others may say that she was just the silent and reserved time. Not aggressive or hostile, just a woman that was aloof, cumulatively cold, blunt, or stotic. To some that was an approachable person, just one that was bout whatever she set her mind to or involved herself in in some matter. Things like, the condition of Sleeping Calamity and the town it was within, Orchidia.

She was infront of a fruit merchant, doing a small conversation with them. "Hello Lady Jikan".

"Hello Mr Watson, how are you this morning?".

"No complaints. Fine weather, and fine air. Keeps my old bones fresher.

"Good good", she said with a pleased nod. "Did you get the shipment of fruits you asked for last week?".

"Ay yes I did, came this morning thanks to you. I appreciate you handling getting it sent sooner. Blasted things have started taking longer for some reason".

"Ah, my pleasure. Have to make sure trade goes smooth for our people don't I?". The man gave a happy nod at her words and at this point Jikan would turn away. Done with her conversation with Watson for now, but turning away due to hearing a voice calling to her she thought. Turning she saw a young man, one hat had red hair and golden eyes, a stand out feature, not many normal people had eyes like that. Red hair was uncommon but nothing to be shocked about. Jikan had red and black hair after all.

"An adventurer in need of work? Hmmm", she pondered for a second. Should she? A random person had nothing to do with her. But she could use labor. There was always something to do when it came to taking care of her town and guild. "Well, what are your skills? And don't tell me only fighting. Work is beyond simply how you can swing a blade", she said this cooly and short. Giving a moment of her time to the stranger.

"This is my chance!" Daryl thought to himself. Maybe he wouldn't have to sleep on the streets to day. All he had to do was tell her his skills besides battle. All he had to do....did he have those? Sure his magic could be used practically for different things but he couldn't really say that it was a skill. Sure he could hunt but he wasn't sure if that applied to fighting or not and he didn't want to blow his chance at a comfortable living. She was staring at him, it made him feel nervous. He was taking too long to think about this.

A brief flash of his childhood played across his mind. "Hand me the garlic sauce Daryl." his mother said. All the processes that took them to get to making the dish replayed over and over in his mind.
The hunt, the sterilization, the heating and the seasoning.

"I can cook!" He said suddenly. Embarrassed because he said it with too much enthusiasm.

After Jikan declared what she wanted from the man. She simply stood there waiting for his response. It was a simple question she thought. Sure, tell her your fighting abilities. She knew he fought at least because he was an adventurer. But not all adventurers were skillful or strong with their weapons and combat abilities. Some were just.... people with tools in their hands. Empty canvas that had not created an image yet. But, for someone looking for a job, a mage, adventurer, or any other random person. Well, they needed something besides their armor or blade. Could they think and analysis a situation? Could they think on their feet and avoid escalating a situation? If not, could they escalate it to the minimum possible needed to resolve it? These were useful thing to have, at least to Jikan. It prevented as many headaches as well as unneeded clean ups.

She waited and waited, perhaps the man was not ready and had to think? She put her right hand on her hip, and gave them a bit more time. Hoping to get this on with.

And then the man gave an answer, yelled it actually. Ah....he was definitely a new bird. One that had not left home long ago and was trying to find himself in the world.

"So you can cook? Very well follow me. Mr. Watson. Have a good morning. Do call if you are in need of me", at this point she turned. Mia, her exceed stayed quiet up until this point. "So...what is your favorite thing to cook".

Jikan walked, her in front, Mia behind her, and most likely the unnamed man behind them. She was leading them to a house, a big one that had double doors open. In comparison to the other places around it was a bit rough, even with Jikan's and fellow Sleeping Calamity members actions of cleaning and fixing it up.

A lady stood at the door, a bit of surprise on her face. "OH! Lady Jikan, I did not expect you today. How can I help you?".

"No. I've come to give a little aid. This fellow here claims he can cook", she pointed behind her with her thumb. "Given the last time I was here you said you needed more help cooking food for the homeless. I thought he could lift a finger or to".

"Oui, Allow me to introduce myself I am Daryl Revone, a wizard!". Daryl wasn't lying when he said he could cook. When he was younger he would usually help his mother around the house before his father started training him. He wasn't the most excellent cook on the planet but his mother taught him well and homeless people aren't usually too picky with their food. He began rubbing his hands together to create tiny sparks as a demonstration.

"If you require a human lighter I am also your man," He says with a grin on his face. Daryl was always eager when it came to helping those indeed. His aloof personality did not affect his morality in any way. He is someone who doesn't disrespect those that help the needy and those that are stronger than him, and he could tell the two people in front of him were to be respected

"I'm ready to begin whenever, I would like to earn my keep while I am here after all"

Jikan

The woman turned from Jikan to towards the man that was with her. Nodding with understand what Jikan had offered. She gave a warm smile towards the red haired man and did a short bow. "Hello and Thank you Mr. Daryl Revone, my name is Lia. I know this is not exciting work that one would expect from a Wizard's job. But thank you for time and efforts for the day". After saying all this she would return her posture to its upright position.

"Oh, I'm not sure what that is. Is that fire magic? Lightening magic? Either way hopefully we won't need help with that. Keeping machines and device up and running can be expensive. If something happened it would be great for you to temporarily help, but we would still have to deal with the issue of what got broken".  She then shifted, extending an arm into the building. "Here, let me escort you two this way".

With that Jikan went forward. She had been here many times before and did not need guidance. She walked forward towards the open space. While Lia guided Daryl walking along with him. Jikan would ask one question as they walked, at least for now. "So, tell me Daryl. What is your favorite thing to make?? I'm a simple woman, I enjoy baking. I would say....brownies or cookies the most".

It would take some time for the three of them to walk down the hallway. During this time Daryl would see a combination of things. Broken tile sections while others looked brand new. The ones that were the least damaged had a new color on them that matched the new tiles. It was a simple pattern, one that was a combination of a circle and square. One that did not stand out much but was an attempt to make the floor look homey. The walls on the other hand were in much better conditions. Made out of wood, they were painted with a clear white coat that did not have a spec of dirt on it nor any wholes. Unfortunately, besides the windows and in the process windows that hanged about, there was nothing of notice on the walls.

"Apologies mademoiselle, I grew up in the forest so I'm not very familiar with anything other than meat and vegetable dishes." They didn't really do a lot of agriculture in Caelum so they were the hunting and gathering type. His mom taught him how to make the best out of what he had so he of course had the ability to make even the most bland meat taste delicious. Although he wouldn't really try his hardest at cooking because all the customers weren't really picky.

"This is quite the nice place you've got here, I'm guessing this is where the 'guests' are staying. I'm not very sociable so I hope that they will accept my food at the very least." Or else he won't be paid

As they moved forward they would enter a room. It wasn't a perfect room by anymeans but it was a clean and sanitary one. It wasn't a mess. There were decent beds, a nice ac on that provided some cool air, and a few lines as people had proper food and service gear on serving food. There was a space beyond where all of this action and chit chat was going on where it could be seen what was going on behind the scenes. The kitchen was viewable to all and there were only a few people behind the back cutting, measuring, and seasoning things. Most of the people present were people in line waiting for food and some type of liquid to drink. Beyond that the minority were the people serving and even fewer people in the kitchen.

"No need to apologize. As long it is a warm nutritious mean it will do. And by the sounds of it, you will be up for the job. Meat and vegetables is what he make sure to give them. Protein to build and maintain muscles, vegetables for vitamins and minerals". She paused, turning to a table of people who called out to her saying Lady Jikan, she did a short wave and nod of her head before returning her attention to the people with her. "Sociable helps but isn't required. Just be respectful and treat them with humanity and you will be fine. For the most part no one bites".

Lia spoke after Jikan did, adding on to the response to the man's apparent concern of being a bit anti social and his limit experience with only meat and vegetable dishes. Lia gave a soft smile towards the man, "As she said no need to feel like you have to apologize. In fact, what you said is the best type of meals for them right now and what we aim to give them. We want to fill their stomachs for a long period of time and provide energy. So meat and broths or soups are what we are desiring to make".

Satisfied with her response to Daryl, she gave a short plain nod to the red haired man and Lia before turning away from them. "Alright with explanations out of the way, I think we should get started", Jikan spoke as she rolled up the fabric covering her arms. Tying her read hair up and grabbing a random hair net to place on top. She had to make sure she did not get messy as well as make sure the food stayed clean and healthy for the consumers.

Daryl was considered to be someone who cared for those that helped others more than anything. Different circumstances lead to their misfortune but regardless of that people needed to live. Following Jikan's lead, he grabbed one of the normal hairnets from the nearby table. Red hair is a bit more noticeable than black hair so he needed to be extra careful. It wasn't obvious but Daryl was shocked by Jikan, he had assumed she was some kind of big shot who ran this city or something similar. To see her in the same position as him was jarring.

He made sure his hair was well contained and washed his hands. Though he would have to dirty them soon if his next question was answered as he expected.

"Are the ingredients around here or do I need to find them myself?"

Once Jikan had her long red hair with black edges tied up in a hair bun nested within a hair net, the woman went off to a table that was a short distance away. It was a simple circular table on a single leg. Suctioned to the floor on a black rod. On the table there was a a few boxes, three in various words on them. Small, medium, and Large. A clear white material stuck out of each box that were in the shape of hands, there were recyclable gloves. Jikan stuck her hand out and picked a hair of gloves from one of the boxes. Walking to a nearby sink, the one that Daryl had just used, Jikan lathered and washed her hands before drying them of and then slid the gloves onto her her hands.

"I am not sure, Lia?", she spoke turning towards Lia.

"We have most of the ingredients set for the day right now as the day has just started. Depending on how things go and how many people need to be fed today, which will impact how much we cook. Our expect need may be more than planned".

Jikan nodded her head, "Okay, so depending how things go we are set for the day. I hope there is no bumps in the day then".

Daryl watched the woman suspiciously. Based on how she looked, talked and was treated by the others he assumed she was some bigshot. Why is said bigshot doing some menial task usually reserved for servants and freelancers like himself? He internally commended her humility, walked over to the boxes, and grabbed a pair of gloves from the medium box. He had above-average-sized hands but the large ones almost looked like they were made for actual giants. He opted to only put one on to prevent burning one-off. After the glove was on he placed the other on the counter and walked over to the gas stove. Doing this instead of using matches saved him quite a lot of time. He turned the gas on and lit a spark with high fingertips.

The flames erupted in glorious light, sometimes a flame looks prettier when you're the one who makes it. He took about a cup of cooking oil and salt into a nearby gigantic pot and mixed them together. After placing it on the flame he awaited further instruction.

Jikan

If Jikan noticed the wary suspicious gaze of the red haired man on her she did not given any signs she had noticed or cared. Questions of if she was someone that was a big shot was minimal to her. Everyone was immortal. Cried when weaknesses were pressured on, laughed when joyful moments happened, and bleed. If not that in the strange case of magic or some curse. One thing was true. No one escapes death. No one could not be killed.

It helped her not get a big head. It also helped that she generally cared about the town's people around her. Especially the children and homeless. She liked to say to the people in the underground well it was a way to grow a positive reputation, to gain the will and hearts of the people. But truthfully she could care less about if they liked her or not, sided with her or were against her at the end of the day. It was an excuse to make sense of yet another flipped aspect of her, but...it came with the territory of trying to do what you wanted in a limit roll.

She would use Sleeping Calamity for it though.

As Jikan went to work Lia eyed Daryl. The gentleman walked over to one of the stoves and light it. Starting the heat with ease. The men quickly went to work, adding cooking oil and salt to a pot already in motion. Lia spoke to the man, her hair tied up and away in a hair net. "Good! Do me a favor and cut up some of the meat and potatoes and add it to the pot while I work on making more on this secondary broth".

While this was going on Jikan was moving quick among the room. Working at one spot in the kitchen before moving to another spot or being asked to come lend aid. Cut this, put this in that, go get this. It was a face pace motion that showed the intensity that everyone in the kitchen had to deal with to get warm meals out to the needy.

Daryl grabbed two kitchen knives from the pantry and quickly sharpened them against each other. He poured water on them from the faucet and repeated the process 3 more times. Now the knives would cut easily but not roughly, just like how he liked it.

His first goal was cutting up the meat as it took the least effort out of the two and would not require too much skill. A gigantic slab of meat was before him and it looked like it came from some sort of monster. Perhaps this task would require more strength than he thought. He stabbed the cutting board with one knife and grabbed one of them with both hands. He tensed his muscles and swung it down as quickly as possible in order to split it in twain with one fell swoop.The desired outcome was produced and Daryl was able to glance in the inside of the meat. It looked very similar to beef but there was strangely no bone present.

He grabbed the other knife and was duel wielding them to maximize production. A few slices and chops later and the gigantic piece of meat was reduced to small chunks about as large as tennis balls. Assuming the meat was to be served in large portions he wanted to make it easier to divide it among them.

The next task allowed him to use less of his strength but required much more precision and finesse in order to complete it efficiently. He grabbed the mandolin and carefully peeled the potato. His mother would scold him if he dug a bit too much into the actual potato when peeling it. When he had about 34 done he finally turned back to his temporary boss and gave the look of a solider than has just completed their mission .

"What is next for me to do ma'am!"

Jikan continued to move in the room of the kitchen. Defiantly not moving in a way that anyone looking in at her would think was graceful or majestic, but they would not think it was crazy, hectic, or out of control. She was not a chicken running with her head of. She was a person, moving with the flow of chaos that was the kitchen.

Reaching over to a pot, she put a scooping spoon into it before placing it in a small tasting bowl she had set to the side. She eyed the color carefully. It had the right hue, and the consistency of it looked thick and saucy. Perfect. While she did this she heard the chops of knifes onto wood board stop. An indicator that Daryl had completed cutting the meat. A short nod came from her in recognization before her eyes came up. He moved quick, going towards the potatoes now. As he did this Jikan took a taste of a broth that should had been done before moving on to something else.

After a bit of time she heard his voice, requesting the next task. One thing she could appreciate was the man's spunk. "Check to make sure that things are still fresh and the garnishes are good before we add things to later dishes. I do not need anyone getting sick. After that we should be good and ready to start making plates and letting people sit down to eat", she spoke as she continued to move. A lady on a mission.

Daryl was happy that she was at least putting in effort into her work. Daryl heeded her request and began checking the various herbs and spices around the kitchen. He would first read for the expiration date then he would sniff it and sample it to make sure it was till safe.

After checking the garnishes he would open the drawer to bring out the pots and pans and lined them up in an easy to access manner. Rock salt, pepper and alcohol was also brought out in case they would have enough time to let the meat marinate.

"Done".

Jikan had continued to move. Eyeing the room as she saw each and everyone in the kitchen working hard and diligent at any task before them. They were doing more than just seeing. They were talking, moving, feeling. Smelling.  Using their senses to feel the food they were creating in this environment. Lia watched as she moved herself in the actions within the kitchen. Seeing the energy and gusto that Jikan and Daryl were moving inside of the room. Putting some much effort in their work, it was like they were speaking to the food.

Lia moved to the sink, putting soap in the sink as she closed the drain and let the water start. Her hands went to action. Carefully scrubbing the plates, bowls, and utensils. Picking them up out of clean water to let them soak before getting the scrub down.

"Great. Okay how about you go see how its going outside? I expect people to be showing up soon. Some may line up just to get food from the big pot. Some may get more specific based on needs".
