"We're gonna get so much food! Ahh! We'll have leftovers for our leftovers! We might even be able to afford something other than food and bills! How's that, Koi?"

Koi hated going out with her mother, [i]especially[/i] if she was like [i]this.[/i]
Koi simply nodded.

Her mother giggled, leading her by the hand, swaying side-to-side marginally, and just [i]reeking[/i] of alcohol. Koi hated every moment of it, however did nothing but keep quiet and smile occasionally, in order to convince her mother she was enjoying herself. "You should really try talking some more, Koi-Koi~! People might talk back, euhehehe! Although... I guess the boys won't complain, hehehe!" Her mother spoke in a giddy tone.

[color=red][i]'Kill me now.'[/i][/color]

Koi was practically a mute whenever she was around her mother. Around anyone else she could be herself - prideful, sinister, weird. However whenever mother was about, she could do nothing but breathe and respond to her voice with silent action. It was for the best. She wouldn't run the risk of angering her anymore, and had long since given up trying to change her. She was just too stupid. Too stubborn. A stuck up bi-

"We're here!"

Oh no...

Don't look.
Please don't look at me.
Please oh please, I'm begging you, [i]please don't stare...[/i]
I can't take it; just go back to eating your meal!
Go away! 
Leave me alone! 
Why won't you just [i]fuck off...?[/i]
No...
I can't...
Please, just stop...
I can't do it...

... Please...

Koi is lead into the Silver Dragon Restaurant by her mother, face blank and bland, holding no emotion. Sadness is visible in her eyes to those who get close enough to see, however they disappeared when she was addressed by one of the staff, who seated them at a nice little booth-like area by a window. Her facade resurfaces, and she returns to the simple, gentle appearance of a young girl going out to eat with her mother. Menu in hand gazing at the dishes, Koi could only dread what was to come. She was going to have to put up with her mother's taste in food again, and have it for leftovers for awhile...

"So, Koi, what do you want? I was thinking we should stock up on ramen, since it's so cheap! We could get loads of the stuff! Hmm, what else? Ooh! They have Tempura! Ahhhh my mouth is just watering~! C'mon, Koi, take your pick!" Her mother encouraged. 

[color=red][i]'God this woman is insufferable...'[/i] Thought the Maki-Maki girl, pointing to her selected dish with a small smile. 

"... Okonomiyaki...?" She asked, confused. "Alright, if you say so. Feel free to order something new though."

Koi wasn't much of an eater, though she did enjoy certain tastes the mortals could conjure up. One such dish was Okonomiyaki. It was essentially her go-to dish when facing a menu - her indecision often meant that if she couldn't find something she was familiar with, she was screwed. Okonomiyaki was a dish she both enjoyed and was familiar with, and was pretty much the only thing she would eat out with. She was a hipster towards ramen and hated sushi for being the work of the gods.

A woman approached: another member of staff. Female this time. She looked a little older than Koi, and definitely cuter. Koi was actually rather jealous of this girl's normalcy. However, she quickly corrected her error and mentally slapped herself for committing such a sin. She let her mother do the talking...

... and talk she did. Koi's mother practically listed off every dish on the menu! Although she didn't go for the challenge bowl, which Koi found odd. Koi nodded at the compliment though didn't say a word, and opted instead to hide behind the menu while her mother spoke.

"-aaaaaaaaaaaand three bowls of ramen, please! Oh, and two Okonomiyaki!" After a long list of foods, their order was finally in, and Koi's mother gave a small smile. "Oh, also, you guys wouldn't happen to sell any beers here, would you? Hehehe!"
