Haneda Ichiba Ginza 7; Tokyo, Japan; Tuesday Evening [02/23].

[somethingwithturquoise]

So, the place that Summer had settled on for the double date tonight was a bit more than a stone's throw away from where they were staying, but, you know what? That was fine. It was a major city, getting around it would be easy enough and that meant that not only were they going to have an experience a little different and unique from everyone sticking near the hotel, but they'd also get to see more of the city itself, and that was not necessarily a bad thing.

Also, getting reservations at some of these small but highly acclaimed sushi places was not easy, so the fact that Summer was able to snag one here for that evening was not something she could just pass up.

And while a cozy little sushi place with the full experience of having the chef right there at the counter to make it for you was not at all what she originally had in mind for tonight when she first thought of it, she did feel it would be a little more suited to the group as a whole as something more quiet and personal, and, plus, you know, that authentic experience. She'd have plenty of time for the bigger, brighter, more over-the-top side of Tokyo later.

But for now? Just a nice little dinner date with a super genius, a space wizard, and a pirate, as she settled into one of the chairs at the counter that had been reserved for them and really, really hoped she hadn't been way off base for what Rey and John might enjoy while planning this out.

[[ for the aforementioned super genius, space wizard, and pirate, of course! ]]

Barry bowed his head politely at the chef as he took his seat. "始めまして. 私は菜食主義者ですが、好きなものを自由に選んでください。私はあなたのテーブルに座ってあなたの食べ物に参加することを光栄に思います," he said making sure to take his time with the pronunciation and not butcher it with his American accent. He did anyway but the chef smiled in appreciation of the effort.

Barry smiled. "Fuck yeah. Let's eat some fucking sushi."

"Ohmygod," said Summer, but fondly, "you are such a nerd."

Newsflash of the century, over here.

"What did you even say?"

"I told him my girlfriend was the hot one so don't fucking try to hit on her," Barry joked. "And that he could feed me whatever the fuck he wanted and I'd eat it. I'll make exceptions for having sushi in Tokyo."

Which would have been a great and super appreciated joke if it weren't for Rey literally sitting right there, being, in Summer's opinion, categorically much hotter by every metric, up to including even having the way hotter accent.

So she just quipped back, "I'm sure John'll be relieved to know he can enjoy his dinner in peace without being hit on, then.

"And that's a bold move, but, like, with the reviews this place gets, I'm honestly thinking of pretty much doing the same."

"Well I figure he wouldn't like the press if one of us dies so I'm pretty sure giving him free reign is a safe bet. Plus I read once that if you eat what the chef likes you're usually in for a good time," Barry said smiling.

"I mean," Summer offered with almost a little sheepishness to her smile now, "we were guaranteed a good time based on the company along, regardless of the food, but, yeah, I read that, too. I'm sure we're in very good hands."

[badassprodigy]

Barry smiled. "Well the company is great. We'll just call the food the icing on the cake."

"Hopefully not literally," said Summer, who would regret it almost immediately, because god, Summer, no, why?, "that would make a terrible sushi."

But it did get her thinking of using more icing in her jello shots...
