OH CRAP I MISSED 7ELEVEN DAY

I gotta fix this pronto. 7eleven said it's our birth-given right as human beings to have free slurpees one day a year and I'm not about to let my people down. Lounge bar, twenty minutes. Skip your shifts and tell your friends, cause we're having ✧slushies✧.

[OPEN LOG: Marui's in the lounge with two blenders, a bucket of ice, and a bunch of syrup and juice (replicator made, sorry) making low-tech slushies for who ever wants one. He's set up on a hijacked card table in front of the bar, because it turns out the bartender bots don't like people messing with their stuff. Who knew.

So come get yourself a slushie.]

"You got it, Boss. Watch the blender, I'll be right back." Pressing the button to chop the ice, Marui runs off down the hall to the mess hall, only to reappear a minute or two later with a cup of mysterious green sludge. Then it's a matter of adding the sludge to the crushed ice in the blender, adding a few more things from his table, running the blender a few more seconds and voila, matcha slushie. He dumps a bit into his own cup, giving it a taste test before pouring a cup for Tezuka and passing it over.

"Not half-bad for a first try. It'd taste real good with a shot of vanilla rum, bartender's recommendation."

Tezuka just managed to nod before Marui sped away to get whatever he was holding in that mug.
He accepted the glass and looked at it, blinking. "Is this really matcha? I could've brought you some of you needed it."

"Oh, you've got real stuff?" Marui stashes that information away for later-- always important to know who had ingredients around the base. "It's not real, but I'm pretty good with a replicator, trust me." He'd spent a good 6 months fooling around with a replicator at home, and has learned how to order in ways to maximize the AI's potential and minimize algal taste, and the current drink, while a discerning palette would still be able to tell the difference, was miles ahead of what the replicator had been putting out before Marui got there.

"Yes, I managed to bring with me whatever I deemed essential. Also, I was in charge of bringing a ship full of cheese to base." he replied. Maybe Marui could make some use of the cheese.
Tezuka took a wary sip of the slushie and his lips automatically curved up slightly. This was quite a lovely refreshment — he hadn't expected the replicator to make this above average blend of tea. He took another sip. And then another. He stood there, clutching the tall cup in his hands and sipping the green ice drink through his straw. Yum.

"Cheese, you say." At the risk of sounding like a mouse, Marui's interest is piqued. "What kinds?" Hopefully it was more than just boring cheddar.

He couldn't help but grin at his obvious success with the drink. "What do you think? I'm a genius, right?"

Re: [OPEN LOG]

[toastzuka]

"I believe there were around ten to twelve different types. And it was quite a large shipment as well. There might have been an error in the request, but I do not think anyone has complained yet." He did not feel the need to mention his own personal stash of cheese, he believed that he should keep it for himself when the base runs low on cheese.

Tezuka nodded. "Quite refreshing. Would you like it if I brought you a bit of matcha to make me another one? You can make one for yourself too." he replied. He was ready to jog to his room to get some tea out for Marui, he needed another matcha slushie right now.

Marui looks like he's seen god, and god is ten to twelve different types of cheese.

He's brought to by Tezuka's request. "Huh? Yeah, sure, go get it. I'm not going anywhere." He's never going to say no to nice ingredients in this place.

Re: [OPEN LOG]

[toastzuka]

"...Are you alright, Marui-san?" Tezuka had never seen someone so awestruck by him having to stare how many types of cheese he had to bring with him in the drop.

"Alright, I'll be right back." he continued, slightly more excited than he was originally for the idea of a second matcha slushie. Tezuka swiftly walked out of the rec room and towards his room with only one thing on his mind — m a t c h a.

Godspeed, Tezuka. Meanwhile Marui will be blending up more ice for the base, and mentally going over all the different things he can cook with that cheese.

Re: [OPEN LOG]

As soon as he entered his room, he threw his gym bag onto his bed and immediately moved towards the closet where he kept his stash of matcha. He scooped a few servings of the bitter tea into the tea cup he had, put a lid on the cup and kept the box of tea back in his closet. He then sped out of his room at a pace very close to jogging, if not running, and made his way back to the food blogger.

"Hey, you made good time." Marui is ready when Tezuka gets back, and it's very clear that this dude REALLY wants another slushie, (but really, who can blame him.) He takes the cup from Tezuka, mixing the goods with some hot water to release the flavour before cooling the mixture with a few ice cubes. Then it was business as usual, adding the matcha to the ice, along with the tiniest bit of clear syrup.

The resulting drink is much more subtle and true to the matcha flavour than the last one, as Marui didn't have to add a bunch of extras to cover up the algal after taste. He passes the drink to Tezuka-- enjoy, my dude.

Re: [OPEN LOG]

[toastzuka]

Tezuka thanks Marui and takes the second slushie from him, immediately sipping on it with the straw. He felt a wave of bliss wash over him, as if all of the universe's trivial issues didn't exist anymore. So refreshing. Sip sip.

Re: [OPEN LOG]

[mmmarui]

That was the face of a satisfied customer. Marui takes a sip of his own slushie, and yeah, not bad.

"Bunta, you've outdone yourself once again."
