The Wonderful World of Pizza, Thursday, Period 3

[carbsliftthespirit]

"Okay, guys," Raiden announced to his class. "So far we've been to Italy, we've been mostly in North America, but this is the world of pizza, right? So today we're heading to a new continent and a new pizza scene: we're going to Japan.

""The pizza scene in Asia in general is really interesting. It's sort of a developing scene, with people trying out new forms and flavor combinations--maybe flavor combinations that make sense to the local palate, maybe just, 'What happens if we do this?'--and it leads to some really exciting ideas. And some kind of weird ones--every now and then a pizza from somewhere like Domino's Japan will go viral among Westerners like 'look at this weird pizza,' which remember: never knock it until you try it. So today we're going to go to what's considered one of the best pizzerias in Tokyo, Pizzeria da Peppe Napolistaca Kamiyacho, to try Japanese pizza out for ourselves! Let's go!"

Eat Pizza!

[carbsliftthespirit]

Maybe with shrimp and cucumber on it?

Re: Eat Pizza!

Okay, so Arden was going to try a few slices of honey lemon pizza and then the mayo shrimp pizza. She looked a little dubious (okay, maybe more than a little), but hell yeah was she going to try it.

"I don't know about this," Steve murmured in an undertone.

Re: Eat Pizza!

[afraid_of_marshmallows]

"We can be brave," Arden murmured back. Whether or not she sounded particularly convinced was left as an exercise to the reader. "You're a superhero. You've faced scarier."

...Right?

"I ate Chicago-style the other week," Steve said because Steve was a tiny bit of a troll.

Re: Eat Pizza!

[grenadesandohana]

Steve, being a Japanese-speaking show-off, had a very long conversation with the wait staff, laughing and nodding along, and got a pizza that looked and smelled amazing.

Stark didn't remember eating pizza when he'd been to Japan before. But why not?

The ones folded like a star looked so pretty but he was going to need some odd flavor combinations as well.

Explore Tokyo

[carbsliftthespirit]

There's so much more to see and do (and eat) before we have to head back to Fandom! Pop in at a convenience store and get a strawberry sandwich, at least!

Re: Explore Tokyo

Sure, Arden might be an (unwitting) urban fantasy heroine, but that wasn't going to stop her from going to Tokyo Tower and up to the observation deck god, idk if this joke is relevant in anime anymore. And, honestly, not getting attacked by something supernatural was great for her.

Re: Explore Tokyo

[napking]

Gray was just sending her an enthusiastic list of snacks she should try to get from a convenience store before they left.

Some of them he might even not steal from her!

Re: Explore Tokyo

[afraid_of_marshmallows]

Possibly. He wasn't making any promises, though.

Want a strawberry sandwich?

Re: Explore Tokyo

[napking]

OMGs YES.

Can you bring me sushi?! Nvrmind I'll make Ray do that.

Look, he had not been the most enthusiastic family member about their move from Japan to California and that was all he or anyone else who had been present for that family meeting was gonna say on the subject. Possibly with a thousand yard stare kind of look in their eyes.

Re: Explore Tokyo

[afraid_of_marshmallows]

One day, Arden was going to need this deep family lore.

Good because I'm busy trying to figure out how to bring home a fuckton of ramen.

Re: Explore Tokyo

[napking]

You should've brought a suitcase.

Gray. No.

Re: Explore Tokyo

[afraid_of_marshmallows]

Not the instant stuff!

Who did he think she was? Gladio?

Re: Explore Tokyo

[sword_chocobro]

It may have been more than ten years (for him, anyway), since Gladio really spent much time in Tokyo, but he remembered it fondly from that school trip a while back. Mostly just because it reminded him of Insomnia, it felt familiar in its similarities, so he definitely wanted to take the opportunity to just feel the city and that old city feeling again.

Talk to Raiden

[carbsliftthespirit]

He might stand out like an enormous foreign sore thumb, but he speaks fluent Japanese and seems very comfortable here.

I'm ready for August to slip away like a bottle of wine, Taylor Swift.
