[Homeless] I just couldn't help myself

[don_of_ramen]

Irasshai!

Oh there you are kid! Come on have a seat. Let's watch that countdown clock together over some Ramen.

Just because all you have is instant Ramen doesn't mean you can't dress it up a little. Don't you have some Feta and ham? Give it a shot!

Comments

I take it back, posting with Pink instead o/

[pinkcrayonwarrior]

Hey mister, think the big countdown might be for a spin-off game about Tin Pin~? I sure hope so.

All of my love. All of it.

[don_of_ramen]

I wouldn't be surprised! After the cartoon, the card game, and the manga books it only makes sense they'd finally make a game about Tin Pin...a game I won't be seeing a dime from.

[pinkcrayonwarrior]

Oh, but mister, it isn't about the money or the marketing, it's about the love of the game, right? A video game will bring in a wider audience, and bring more people together!

Then again, I doubt that's what it is. If it was, I would know about it. Actually, I'd be the one writing the column about it.

[don_of_ramen]

Hahaha! You've got a point there kid! And at the end of the day so long as I can hear the clink clank clang of tin pins crashing together outside my shop I'll keep working on my end.

Hmm, you've got a point though. Unless it's like when they bring out a movie without showing it to reviewers first...then again we know what that usually means.

[respecting]

Now tha's what I'm talkin'! 'Bout time we got some good eats up in this joint.

[don_of_ramen]

That's what I like to hear! Try my new recipe.

[Passes him a bowl of what looks to be two very distinct kinds of noodles with a yellow sauce in the broth]

I've combined the comfort of Macaroni and Cheese with the soothing pleasure of a piping hot bowl of Ramen! It's like a cheesy chicken hug.

[respecting]

Chicken Mac and Ramen? You crazy, man!

[Sounds like he means a good crazy though. If the outrageous slurping that follows after is any indicator.]

[don_of_ramen]

Crazy...heh heh heh, I suppose so. They called me mad at the culinary academy, MAD! BUT WHO'S MAD NOW? MWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

[don_of_ramen]

...

[don_of_ramen]

...

Would you like a fried Egg with your Ramen?

[respecting]

[wow what has he unleashed

at least the ramen tastes good]

Eh... naw man, it's all good right what I got here.

[...casually slurps...]

So this countdown is gettin' kinda boss, yo. They up and changed the music!

[leggierissimo]

Feta cheese and ham, hm? Sounds like quite the combination.

[plays]

Sounds like inspiration at work to me! I'll give it a shot.

[don_of_ramen]

Coming right up! You're lookin' a little on the small side these days though kid. I'll be giving you an extra portion of ham!

[zeitgeists]

You're too kind, sir! You might put yourself out of business like that.

[don_of_ramen]

Hahaha! You're not the first to say that.

[Sets the bowl of steaming yummy noodles in front of him]

But I they say Karma returns with a side of pickles. So I'm not worried. Not anymore.

[leggierissimo]

Doesn't it? I'm more than willing to try. His last use of cheese in ramen was spectacular.

[zeitgeists]

Truly we're in the presence of a genius. A veritable ramaster, as it were.

[leggierissimo]

Oh, no doubt about that. I just can't get ramen from anywhere else.

[zeitgeists]

Me neither. Hopefully he's got a surplus of noodles just like he has a surplus of customers.

[payback]

Cheese in ramen? That's weird.

[don_of_ramen]

You simply need to open your mind, and mouth to the possibilities Miss.

[payback]

What's wrong with just ramen? Just ramen is fine! This is so... fancy.

[don_of_ramen]

You'll get no argument from me. I offer every kind of ramen. The only consistency is the care and love I put into each bowl.

You'll forgive an old man for feeling inspired. It's been some time since my Mun thought of me and with such a tasty anticipation building while the clock counts down I decided today was the day to try something new.

But! I am in the business of Customer service so if you'd like a nice familiar bowl of ramen I'd be happy to make you some.

[plays]

You sure know how to treat a body right.

[don_of_ramen]

The best flavors inspire the body and stimulate the mind. A fine meal can lift people's spirits and tickle the soul!

[zeitgeists]

I couldn't agree more! Hit me with your latest, hm? Insatiable curiosity compels me to give it a try.

[don_of_ramen]

Here's a little something I've been tooling around with and I'd love for you to be my test market.

[Setting a bowl of Ramen that appears to be mixed with udon. Tampura battered vegetables and shrimp with chopped leeks and a big round noodle with a pink spiral on it.]

I call it "Rhythm Ramen."

[destructoplush]

It's about time they come back to us, right? Hopefully that timer's leading up to something awesome.

Thanks for the ramen too!

[don_of_ramen]

Of course! Can I get you something to drink with that? Some fresh Aloe Juice would go great with that soup.

[destructoplush]

You think so? I'll give it a shot, mister! You know what's what, after all.

[don_of_ramen]

[Brings her the bottle and a class with ice in it]

You're a good kid, respecting your elders, willing to try something new. It'll serve you well in life and love.

[kuramaless]

[Did someone say ramen?]

Ain't nothin' wrong with instant stuff.

[don_of_ramen]

Of course, it will boost your sync rate by 30%.

[spaztastic]

Hey mister! Thanks for the ramen~

Isn't it exciting? I hope it's something good.

[don_of_ramen]

Like Your little cat doll getting his own spin off game?

[spaztastic]

Yeah! Like that! I think Mr. Mew will do great in his own game~

[And she'll be digging in now. Omnomnomnomnom.]

It's delicious~
