Kelay Restaurant and Kelay Restaurant Kitchen 25 Oct 2011

Just another workday

Theo is rather plump and wearing a white apron and chef's hat. He is busy chopping up carrorts to add to the stew bubbling away, another man and an elf woman are also busy at various tasks in the kitchen.

Kasyr , for his part, has been off in a corner of the main room, idly poking at a bowl of soup. Not that one would recognize the Revenant, given the heavy cloak he's currently sporting over the rest of his clothes- but there he's been, casually churning the broth in his bowl until he's finally certain the kitchen staff are paying him no mind. It's only than that the vampire plucks out a dead cockroach from his pocket and plunks it down into the bowl. It's only when he's thus armed himself, that he proceeds to stomp over towards the kitchen- heavily planting the bowl down onto the counter, a gesture made towards the offending comments as though it says everything.

The young girl behind the counter had just been mentally making plans to try to sneak off work for an hour and meet her boyfriend, after all the place has very few customers, only some old grey bearded guy who seems to have fallen asleep over his cup of tea, and the fellow with the soup. She is brought out of her thoughts by the rude fellow slamming the bowl down in front of her, but at first misses the cockroach amongst the various meat and vegetables. "What's wrong with it?" She calls rather irritably, friendly customer servive not being her strong point. "You can't just barge into the kitchen....at least wipe yer feet. We has standards of hygiene yah know." Theo turns to regard the intruder into his domain.Still holding the sharp knife he was using on the carrots. "Can I help you sir?" He asks showing a suprising degree of politeness despite the man's just having stormed in.

A horrible critter complains of an insect in his food

Kasyr's response to both the questions is to simply take the spoon and lift the cockroach up from the broth, effectively offering it to the girl, "This, is, an, outrage." The words are clear and concise, carrying little of the Revenants natural accent- if only due to the cantrip which effectively held dominion over his words. Stripped of the vampires habitual inflection, the words come off as particularily cold, " I was told many good things about the food here, about the hospitality. That it carried a certain rustic appeal that I'd be hard pressed to find elsewhere. And than, I'm met with .." The spoon is jiggled in tandem with the word, "This."

Theo looks incredibly embarrassed as he regards the offending insect. He is very proud of his culinary creations. The cook is already rather red-faced from the heat of the kitchen, but he seems to have gone even redder. "I am terribly sorry, sir. I really don't know how such a thing could happen, we really do have the highest of standards." He wipes his brow. "Your money for the soup will be refunded of course. How else can I make it up to you sir? How about a free banquet of a meal cooked especially for yourself and a friend?" The counter girl scowls, and heads back to the main room, glad the guy with the complaint is no longer her problem. The other two kitchen workers, are busy washing up.

An unparalelled opportunity

Kasyr settles the spoon back into the bowl, robed arms falling back down to his sides,"I suppose that allowing you the opportunity to redeem yourself, at your expense, is suitable. If you would be able to prepare a banquet , and ensure that your restaurant will be sufficiently sparse of distractions- I will return." A pause, and the vampire simply produces a pouch from his robes, the item briefly loosened to display a fair amount of gold, "I am, after all, here on business- seeking out various types of chef, so as to prepare a collaboration of various types of cuisine for the lady of Vhys. If you should impress me, I'll be certain to call upon you again."

The Chef bows politely, not quite believing his luck. Not only is the fellow mollified but he seems to be offering him the opportunity for a position at court in Vhys. "Sir. I would be delighted to accomodate you. The restaurant is very quiet in the afternoons in any case, I shall close it up for you this afternoon, and prepare a selection of my finest dishes. I am sure you will not be disappointed."

Kasyr offers a curt nod, before gingerly nudging the 'offending' bowl of soup away, "I shall return this afternoon - do not dissapoint me. An opportunity like this shall not present itself again, should your presentation be found lacking." That said, the Vampire simply begins to head off towards the door.
