Sibling Rivalries: Chili Edition
Flyers have been going up around the Forum and Commercial District for the last week or so. This morning,the lights in the VSW Meadhall came on. By noon, anyone getting close enough to an open door would know: chili's on!Inside, everything's set up and waiting for the hungry and the curious: Clint's cooking in one corner, and Verity's in the other. Between them, tables are laid out with the necessities: bowls, plates, spoons, and plenty of napkins. There's beer and iced tea, some lovely tres leches cakes provided by the Nexus' favorite Japanese detective, and various toppings for the chili: bottles of sriracha and sweet Thai chili sauce, red pepper flakes, green onions and red, lime wedges, diced bell peppers and jalapeños, crumbled bacon, shredded cheddar cheese and sour cream. Cornbread and tortilla chips round things out.
Long tables with a mix of benches and chairs fill the hall on either side of the fire pits. One has board and card games stacked neatly at one end (they were neat when they were put out, at least). Another has two boxes, one wrapped in purple paper and one in pink, for depositing voting slips.

((There will doubtless be further Cupid-based shenanigans, but this weekend, it's all about the platonic relationships. Bromances, BFFs, and family ties rule the day! Let's celebrate! Threadhopping, tangents, games, and mischief are all encouraged. Just don't start a food fight or Verity will have to yell.))

"Management is more than a passion for me. It's what I was made to do. And while I can't guarantee I'll be any good at baking, I'd be more than happy to give a friend an opportunity to succeed and to explore his passions.
"If you're worried about me, don't be. I know what I'm getting into. I wouldn't have offered if it's something I thought I couldn't or shouldn't do."
Her smile is confident. She really must know what she's getting into.

His left hand is clenched into a tight fist. Of course he's worried about her. This is a huge business proposition and Katsuya has not a shred of knowledge on how to run a business. Ask him to make a cat themed bento and he'd be fine, but...this?
"I..." Wow he still sounds so staggered. "May I...think on the matter?" She had offered, but he needs to be certain.
Commence Operation Sous Chef Chefsuya
"Take all the time you need. When you think you have an answer, all you have to do is call. But if I don't hear from you in a few weeks' time I'll be calling you. That's the agreement."
She reaches out as if to touch him on the arm, but at the very last second decides that perhaps that's too personal. Too soon. Though they did already share cake from the same plate, scandal of scandals. She elects instead to smile for him and to fold her hands comfortably in front of her.
"You've been a friend to me, Katsuya. I understand that this is a big leap for you, but know you wouldn't be making it alone."
Putting him in a chef uniform. So precious
He needs the space. The time to think. Katsuya has never been quick on his feet when it comes to decisions, unless there is life or death urgency. It's in his nature to dissect a problem and look at it from every angle, slowly moving toward an answer rather than to be impulsive.
He appreciates that Radio is granting him that. Opening a bakery in the Nexus...
Katsuya can't say he hasn't considered it before. Or even been pushed to do so before.
