Who 🍷 shylock and you!
What 🍷 april catchall! mostly festival prompts inside for now.
When 🍷 entire month of april
Where 🍷 hell, baby
Content Warnings 🍷 alcohol and maybe some nsfw things, since he's a tamamo. the rest is tba.
prompts and whatnot will be in the comments! feel free to hit me up via plotting post or PM if you want something more specialized.
also shylock looks something like this, but obv without the fox ears. he'd still be wearing the earrings though, and the bun is a lot more elaborate than his usual.

[ he still looks very proud of himself regardless. now, isn't it about time for a break? shylock flips a sign on their little stall indicating that they're taking five (or maybe ten or fifteen, no one's counting) and goes off to retrieve the cooler. ]
Tenkohime herself has tasked me to make a drink for this festival, actually.
[ from it he retrieves a steel tumbler, and he unscrews the cap and pours hizen a cool bright-red drink that befits its demonic name despite the sweet and fruity flavor. ]
Now, let me know what you think of it.
no subject
... Still wishes he could knock that smug look off of Shylock's face, though.
The drink isn't what Hizen expected. He visibly makes a face that looks confused and uninterested. The color reminds him more of wine than anything he's really used to and he can't say he's much of a fan. It's a free drink though and Shylock has promised there's alcohol to be had so he accepts it, turning it over suspiciously. He raises the cup to his mouth and stops when the scent hits his nose. It's sweet. Fruity, too. It doesn't have that strong scent of alcohol he's used to.
He takes his first taste and raises a brow. It's a new experience to him and he looks over the glass at Shylock and tries again. Yes, after the second sip, he decides he doesn't dislike it. In fact, he likes it but something is bothering him and he squints,)
... If this is juice, I'll kill you.
(IF ITS MOSTLY JUICE HE'S GOING TO BE MAD. He wants to FEEL something.)
no subject
It is not. It does hit you after a while, however. But may I remind you that we are still working, so if you wish to have more, you can find me at one of the bars that have cropped up nearby.
[ now THIS is how you do advertising, babes ]
no subject
(Why does he feel like this is some sort of... move. If he was smarter he'd see it was advertising but all he's got is this is a drink with some sort of catch? Motive?
He narrows his eyes and takes another drink. It's his first one so he wants to enjoy it. You only get to try something for the first time once.)
Which one?
(Yeah, he might be interested.)
no subject
It's... [ name of generic bar here. details, details. ] We've just opened a little pop-up bar for today, so if you prefer something heavier, I can certainly provide.
no subject
(narrator voice: and then everything changed when the black-clad youkai attacked.))
... This is fine.
(Even it just tastes like juice to him but when you're cheap like Hizen, you don't really get to enjoy things that are made to taste especially nice. The fact that it's practically free this time makes it better. He finishes it! Maybe drinking it a little too fast and he'll surely feel it in a bit but for now, he's content.)
Not bad.
(He's incapable of outright complimenting something.)
no subject
You don't have to force yourself to be more eloquent. Just hearing that you like it enough is already music to my ears.
[ seeing him come up with praises is rather adorable, though... ]
no subject
(Is Shylock making fun of him? Saying he can't speak well or something???)
I'm just letting you know since you went through the trouble of really making something!
no subject
In that case, [ he swallows down the urge to laugh and casts hizen a soft, genuine smile. ] Thank you very much, Hizen. I hope that you're able to feel the essence of this festival with that drink alone.
no subject
He will not start a bar fight in public. This time.)
... What're you talking about? (Why is this such a big deal suddenly?) You're making it weird. Knock it off. Quit smiling.
(He literally cannot deal with this, Shylock.)
no subject
...well no, there's certainly a word for it. tsundere, the previous sage might have called it. so how can shylock resist the urge to laugh? except he won't, but he will continue to smile despite hizen's wishes anyway. ]
Never you mind. Regardless, that'll keep you motivated enough to continue running this stall with me, won't it?
[ at least for another hour or so. won't be long now. ]
no subject
I told ya to knock it off.
(Quit smiling!!!
Traces of an accent that he usually keeps back begin to slip through. It looks like that drink is beginning to hit? Not enough for him to lose himself completely but definitely enough to loosen him up. Surprise, Hizen.... might be a country boy?)
Right, right. (Glass down, back to work,) Just a li'l while longer and I can get something to eat.
(He is... always hungry.)
no subject
until that slip of an accent, that is. oya? that's rather cute, isn't it? has he been hiding that the entire time? he's already flustered as it is, so shylock will rein it in for now. ]
What do you recommend as a snack for the meantime? Truth be told, I have yet to try the food being served nearby...
[ since he's a westerner and all. rec him things!! ]
no subject
(Sliding the glass back over to Shylock now. They're still on break but he hates being idle. He starts to pick at some of the prizes while he talks,)
Something sweet or salty? (Savory. The word he really wants is savory but whatever.) There's a bunch of food. Something for everyone.
no subject
[ shakes the glass that was handed to him before stashing it away. ]
I did bring the drinks this time around, so it's your time to pick for us. It's only fair.
no subject
Anything?
(Like, anything will go well with it? It was a good drink! Also, there's no reason to be picky.)
no subject
I give you full freedom on snacks today.
