Ram's Head Saloon [Mod-Sanctioned C/CLT, v4]

[Nu Alaska]

Sakura's ears immediately swiveled in the direction of the noise.

"What was that?"

"Probably the kitchen, but I should still go check..." Michael replied. He got up, and seeing that nothing was wrong behind the counter went out back to investigate.

"Well, nice to meet you, Miss Dunkerque," Kiri said, still excited about the possibility of sweets."

Although the food would probably get here soon, Ren had decided to start drawing. She seemed to be working on portraits of her new friends, probably as a gift.

The French woman looked at Ren.
MNF Dunkerque: "Aw... that fox-girl's adorable. Je me demande...."
She immediately ran off to grab her confectioner's equipment.

Ren smiled happily, and then continued drawing.

Michael came back inside and sat back down, shaking his head. "There's a crater out back where that sound came from. I don't know what happened..."

Around this time, the bartender wordlessly brought over the food that had been ordered.

Around this time, the bartender wordlessly brought over the food that had been ordered.

Dunkerque proceeded with making traditional hard candy, placing several layers of flavoured molten sugar together, stretching them very thin, and chopping them into uniform pieces, before repeating the process 4 more times, before placing her blessings on a single batch. The candies were fruit flavoured, and had a chibi version of each of their faces on it.

MNF Dunkerque: "Voila! Do you like this?"

MNF Dunkerque: "Voila! Do you like this?"

Ren tried one, and then swished her tail back and forth happily.

"It's super yummy!"

She made sure to give one each to her parents and sister. Sakura and Michael both smiled in thanks. Kiri tried to pick hers up, not really knowing if it would work but remembering that she had gotten candy from the shipgirls before.

MNF Dunkerque: "Sweets really can take a girl to heaven.... and Ren is adorable...."
She was drooling, thinking of what to make next.

MNF Dunkerque: "I have an idea! You'll love it!"
She then proceeded to take some fresh chestnuts and puree them, before adding confectioner's sugar and some flavoured syrup, then piping them into several plates, and topping them off with whipped cream and a strawberry.
MNF Dunkerque: "Mont-Blanc aux marrons! You may know it simply as Mont-Blanc, though. Enjoy!"

[Gilded Clan]

KRAKA-BWOOOOOOOOOOOOOM

In response to the blast, the Wanderer slowly pads over to the door and finds that, overall, the detonation had not changed much. He deliberated investigating it, but was unsure.

Ren was very happy to receive these, though she made sure to never take more than her fair share. She decided to save some for after she ate the sushi she ordered.
"Here."
She held out a drawing she had made of Dunkerque, presumably as thanks.

(Is this the sort of treats that even Kiri can eat?)

She gently pat Ren on the head.

Kiri by now had a toothy grin on her face.

"Thanks ma'am. I almost never get to taste anything anymore, and these are some of the best sweets I've ever tasted."

Sakura slowly ate her share of the sweets as she watched her two daughters.

"Hm. Seems I'll have to step up my cooking game."

"Should I start a grocery list?" asked Michael.

[Kerlodes]

(Yes.)

MNF Dunkerque: "Mademoiselle Sakura, our styles of cooking are very dissimilar. You seem to specialise in Japanese cuisine, while I specialise in confections. I'm not good with cooking haute cuisine."
Dunkerque continued to mumble in French about "learning how to cook", and "stepping up to Gascogne".

[Low bloods]

The knight steps back into the bar with a sudden sigh he had the head a hunt slung over his back, it was a surprise he got the thing through the door by the looks of it. He was looking around at the empty walls trying to find the biggest bullet hole to cover. He felt the need to complain about the charred land around the saloon, however remained rather silent.

[Fatatatutti]

Several General Castro-Stalina were gathered in a corner singing, "We'll share our remmmmmmmmm... iniscences of Benny Havens, O."

At the bar, another General Castro-Stalina said, "I used to come here with Benny Havens when we were both sergeants."

"Oh the company, this place needs it." Vixen let out a soft sigh

[Fatatatutti]

Two of the General Castro-Stalinas approached the General Castro-Stalina who was passed out on the bar. "I've heard of confronting death," one of them said, "but I've never heard of confronting yourself dead."

"I don't think she's dead," the other one said. "I've been in worse shape than that but I'm feeling pretty good now."

"well, you're drinking tea," the first one said.

"It's Lapsang Souchong," the second one said, wiggling her little finger.

"Despite my feminine name I'm a male." He spoke with a slight chuckle. "And yes, I'm comforting myself towards death as I believe this cycle has reached the end. But I'm certainly not dead by any means."

"I was actually talking to myself," General Castro-Stalina smiled, "and I was referring to my other self." She indicated the General Castro-Stalina who was passed out on the bar. "It's a bit confusing to me too. There usually aren't this many of me. Some people might say one of me was enough."

"Oh, yeah. It's always weird to see ones self somewhere... Maybe you actually are dead? Let's poke the body with a stick.

Alphonse waddled over and quacked at the passed-out General Castro-Stalina but there was no response. He licked her ear and she muttered something.

"Not quite dead yet," one of the conscious Castro-Stalinas decided. "If one of us is dead, shouldn't we all be dead?"

"Maybe it just means that we'll all be dead at some time in the future," another one speculated.

"Will we all die at the same time? Of the same thing? Or does each one of us have her own reality?"

"Each one of us has her own hat. Otherwise, we couldn't tell which one is me."

"I'm me."

"So am I."

"Touche."

"I wonder if the Cub Scouts have a merit badge for Philosophy."

"I don't know. Why?"

"We didn't get one."

[Nu Alaska]

At a table in a corner a tall lady in a dress is asleep and snoring loudly. The empty mugs scattered around the table seem to indicate she passed out after drinking a truly obscene amount of hot chocolate.

MNF Dunkerque: "Madamoiselle, could you please... wake up? Patrons need to sit, and I assume you are able to move, n'est ce pas?"
(Kerlodes is my puppet, so I'm using my main account.)

(Kerlodes is my puppet, so I'm using my main account.)

The young lady woke up with a start, and looked at the scene on the table before her before glancing around the bar.

"This place again..."

She looked at Dunkerque. "Sorry. Must have had too much sugar. Did someone want to sit here?"

She talked rather fast and was rather bright-eyed for having just woken up, though it was anyone's guess whether this was the hot chocolate or just her usual personality. Though she looked like another kitsune at first, as she talked it became clear that her teeth were alarmingly sharp.

MNF Dunkerque: "Madamoiselle... are you a vampire? Those teeth are really sharp."

The girl laughed at this suggestion.

"No, that's ridiculous! Though, I'm not 100% sure what I am. I always thought I was a kitsune like the people I grew up with, but I've always seemed a little different."

Soon, an English woman walked in. It was very clear that she was not a normal human.
HMS Duke of York: "I smell fresh blood. And I can sense the presence of a monster."

"Hello!" the girl said cheerfully, sipping some leftover hot chocolate as she cleaned up the rest of the cups.

"Oh, yeah! Soda, hot chocolate, fresh blood, this place has it all! Not sure who would order that last one, but when they say they have everything they mean it. I try to stop by when I come across an entrance."

She set the mugs on the bar counter and went back to wipe off the table.

"Monster? I mean, yeah, but it doesn't take a sixth sense to figure that out. Don't tell me you've never seen a yōkai fox?"

She seemed to think she was a kitsune like Ren and the others, though if York really could sense things like this, she would see that the girl had a much darker aura.
