The Sound Tavern [Open]

[Kyogi]

[enter]

Kyogi was feeling good today. He’d recently completed a mission with a new genin without much trouble. It was one of his smoother missions and that deserved celebration. Further Kyogi hadn’t been assigned anything further so he had some down time to hang out around the village. Perhaps he should have invited Vara out to the tavern with him but she seemed too young to drink and the kage might not like him using that kind of influence on the younger genin.

He was walking down the streets of the village looking for his favorite tavern. Kyogi was wearing something different than he usually wore. A baseball cap was worn over his silver hair. Kyogi had stopped back at the museum to give some money for the broken painting and had been given a hat with the museums logo as additional thanks. The hat was blue with the symbol of sound upon it. Kyogi also had shed his white jacket and pants that he usually wore. He was wearing more casual clothing today. Replacing his jacket Kyogi wore a green t-shirt with green shorts. A sound headband was tucked away in his utility pouch; within it was also a compass, a blank world map, goggles and one vial of black sealing ink. It was rather warm outside so rather than donning shoes he wore green sandals.

Kyogi was taking a longer walk to the tavern than usual because the weather was wonderful today. The sun was out but it wasn’t too hot. It was nice and breezy to keep things cool and the people in the village all seemed to be happy. He could nearly feel the positive energy from the village people it was a good feeling. After enjoying his walk through the streets to the tavern he finally arrived. Kyogi liked the tavern due to its simple name. There was a sign overhead that read “The Sound Tavern” which had a musical note symbol next to it one similar to the one on his hat. Pushing open the door a small bell rang signaling the entrance of someone entering the tavern.

Moving through the door Kyogi looked around when his eyes landed on the owner Matsu. ”Long time no see!” Kyogi spoke happily as he shook Matsu’s hand. It had been too long since he had some time off. Walking over to the bar he reached into his pouch and put about 5,000 ryo in the tip jar. Kyogi had come to a mutual agreement with Matsu. Without divulging much information he’d explained his inability to actually spend money but charity was a different story. His work for the village was also appreciated so he donated when he could. Walking away from the bar he took a seat at one of the tables. It was only three in the afternoon but it was he had some days off now he could afford to have an early drink. When one of the waiters came over he asked for a beer and an order of dumplings. Matsu sat down across from him laughing he spoke, ”You always loved the dumplings Kyogi.”

”Better than my mom made just don’t tell her that.” Not that he could tell her even if Matsu wanted but they really were better. As Kyogi waited for his drink and food he walked towards the dart board. ”Not sure if you’ve seen this trick Matsu.” Kyogi went quiet gathering chakra into his right hand. Within it a kunai materialized out of chakra. Wrapping his hand around the handle he threw it at the dart board but it unfortunately landed on the 3. A laugh was heard from behind Kyogi ”Nice trick Kyogi but you could work on your aim.” Turning around with a frown on his face it quickly changed as he laughed with Matsu. After a little bit he took his seat again when the beer and dumplings had arrived. Kyogi took a long sip of the beer letting out a satisfied sigh as he began to relax a bit more.

The smell of the dumplings was almost intoxicating. Using his fork Kyogi stabbed into the side of one dumpling. Steam released into the air from the fork holes as he brought the dumpling up and into his mouth swallowing it whole. Eyes widened as a smile formed on his face. They really were better than his mother’s dumplings; swallowing he pushed the plate towards Matsu ”Enjoy have some I insist.” As the time passed more people began making their way into the bar. The environment got noisier as the bar reached its peak hours.

While Matsu enjoyed one of his tavern’s dumplings Kyogi took a big gulp of the beer leaving about a quarter of it left. His eyes focused back on Matsu, ”Things have been quiet around here friend. I’m not sure if that is good or bad for our village.” Pausing in his statements Kyogi popped a second dumpling in his mouth and washed it down with the rest of his beer. ”I think I need to get out and do something to liven up our village. I need to make an impact somewhere. I’ve trained and trained and helped out the people but only in small ways. Thank you for listening to me Matsu, it looks like your tavern is busy. I’ll be sure to visit again soon.” His original smile was still on his face as Kyogi stood from his chair. He shook Matsu’s hand but brought it into a hug. Kyogi likely wouldn’t have time to sit around in the tavern for some time if things went his way. It was time to move on and make some noise. With his goodbye’s said he exited the tavern and made his way towards the tower.
