Hello, everyone. My name is Croix Meridies, a new arrival.

Since coming here, I've done my best to catalog and mark this city's ramen stands, restaurants, and convenience stores that sell it in instant form, along with listing their prices. I haven't been here long, so I've decided to crowdsource it and offer my findings to anyone interested.

If you could help me fill in the map, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Ramen? Uh, well...Golden Ramen is supposedly the best place in Tamamo...?

I guess I shouldn't be surprised this would come up actually, when ramen seems to be such a comfort food for people. (°◇°;)

Re: UN: tamamori

[roombamastermind]

It's efficient, full of proper nutrients, and tastes excellent to boot. It's more than a comfort food, I assure you.

[fuckdogramagra]

It didn't even exist when I came from. I guess I still prefer soba for the nostalgia.

I wonder if they have negi ramen in this future hell...?

[ tama stop bringing up aizu's tourism crimes- ]

[roombamastermind]

That's such a shame. Have you tried it yet, at least?

[fuckdogramagra]

I, er, meant to at the Tanabata festival last month, but...I sort of got too drunk and passed out before dinner. (´▽`;)

[roombamastermind]

Well, that won't do. What faction are you, hm? I'll treat you. I still have a bit of my stipend yet, and I managed to secure employment earlier today.

[fuckdogramagra]

Ah, you don't have to do that! Σ(°◇°) That stipend represents important freedom for so many people...I can pay for my own, and we can consider it an exchange of information instead!

(I guess that offer makes it obvious I'm with Sutoku...)

[roombamastermind]

Very well. I won't reject that.

But I see! How serendipitous! I'm in Sutoku as well!

[fuckdogramagra]

Ah, I should have guessed. (´▽`*) Sutoku have a very particular presence on here...

But I'll check my work schedule and get back to you! This would certainly be one of the tastier ways to help a fresh lost soul.

[roombamastermind]

Good good. Just contact me here when you find an opening.

golden's good.

Eight-Eyes is better

[ musashi it's a soba place, is it even fair to compare them? ]

Re: text; un: tengennohana

[roombamastermind]

I'm not familiar with either location.

[ryototsukai]

Eight-Eyes usually catches the dinner rush here in Tamamo territory, but wherever you find one of these two stands, you won't have to look far to find the other.

they've got a thing going on.

[roombamastermind]

Oh, I see. A business rivalry, then?

[ryototsukai]

or that thing where two kids like like each other but they can't express it maturely so they wind up pulling pranks on each other all the time.

[roombamastermind]

...Ah. Another kind of rivalry, then.

I was never much concerned with that sort of thing in school. I got along well with the person I counted on as a friend and that was that.

[...Until something drove her to jealousy, anyway.]

[ryototsukai]

truth be told, every rivalry is tinged with at least a side of affection, even the particularly bitter ones. at least that's been my experience.

though one of my famous rivals is here now so maybe i shouldn't say that.

[roombamastermind]

[Oh, that hits close to home.]

I think I know what you're talking about, yes.

[ryototsukai]

ah, i see you're a warrior of understanding as well.

yep, when you know, you know, you know?

[roombamastermind]

I'm certain a warrior would know themselves better than I do.

And be able to see what's in front of their face all along, as well.

[ryototsukai]

ah.

[ naruhodo. ]

well, we all get there in our own way.

[roombamastermind]

...What do you do if you've hurt someone while trying to figure that all out?

[fuckdogramagra]

I prefer Eight-Eyes, but I'm the soba person-

...do people eat cold ramen in the summer like cold soba actually? (ºΔº;)

[ryototsukai]

well they have brothless ramen that'd probably be tasty cold, but the broth is part of the draw, i think.

[fuckdogramagra]

Maybe cold broth then...

This calls for research. (っ˘ڡ˘)っ
