Happy New Year, one and all! I hope you are all staying warm and finding good luck in the dawn of this brilliant, fresh year of dreams~! 🌼🌸❀✿🌷 In the spirit of that, we have more delights to help them all come true!

First of all, is our monthly special - ✨✨✨ ramen! ✨✨✨ Yes, ramen at an ice cream shop. I assure you it's a match made in heaven. Come in from the cold, warm yourself up with ramen ...

... then, once you're nice and toasty, cool yourself down again with some of our delicious ice-cream. We've got ✨✨✨brand-new flavors!✨✨✨

Our blue flavor of the month is Bubblegum surprise! We also now have gelato, thanks to a illiant-bray idea from an anonymous fan. The cappuccino mocha gelato is Senku-chan and my favorite, give it a try!

Stop by our Creamistry: Ice Cream & Soda Shop today.





And lastly, shhh, don't tell anyone; but it's Senku-chan's birthday today. Come and wish him a happy one, won't you?

🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂

[ Gen is humming and, sometimes, even singing to himself behind the counter of their ice cream parlor, wiping down the counter. He'll brighten when someone comes in. ]

Welcome, welcome! What is your desire, my dear friend?

Wow, that is really intriguing. Ramen and ice cream do seem to be great with each other, don’t they? I never have bubblegum ice cream or cappuccino mocha gelato before but I would love to try them out soon once I am done with work for the day.

Also sending my birthday wishes to Mr. Senku too.

[fun_thementalist]

They were both suggestions, my dear! So we were happy to include them on the menu. I’m particularly fond of the bubblegum - it’s *just* the right amount of sweet for me. ^_~

I will definitely pass your well-wishes along to him! He needs plenty of birthday cheer. Do you know that he thought everyone would have forgotten???

[senorita_perfecta]

Oh wow, that is great to hear. Then I will take that as a good suggestion, I should try out it in a little bit before it runs out for the day or week. I bet that it will be a fun flavor to have in the ice cream shop.

Whoa, he actually thinks everyone wouldn’t notice it? In any case he definitely needs more birthday happiness. Are there any chances that I can send him some birthday gifts?

[fun_thementalist]

I hope it proves popular! At least it'll make the person who suggested it happy. Of course, if you have more flavor suggestions yourself - don't hesitate to submit them :D

Senku-chan would be *delighted* to have more presents, my dear friend. Please send him some! You can either deliver them right at the shop or at our home - you have my word that he'll receive them. \o/

[senorita_perfecta]

Oh yes. I will send in some suggestions as soon as I can think of anything for the ice cream flavors.

Wow! That is great. I got plenty of plants left over from the early winter events season for me to send in as gifts. I’ll look around at my flower shop to find a suitable gift and I will drop them off at your ice cream shop as soon as possible. Hopefully he doesn’t mind having more plants in your home.

[fun_thementalist]

That sounds delightful. Flowers are, admittedly, more of my thing - but Senku-chan also adores plants, especially ones he can use for various experiments, cooking, crafting projects ...

... though you sound very knowledgeable, my dear; doubtless you already know just all of the amazing things different plants can be used for!

(Personally, I just think they look pretty :D :D :D )

[senorita_perfecta]

Yep that is correct. Plants have a lot of versatile uses and purposes depending on which species of plants are being used. It can range from being used in recipes to turned into medicine. Name any use and nearly any plant can be made into anything you can imagine.

Since we are in still winter, it may be hard to find most flowers growing out there unless we’re using magic to keep them alive somehow, but there are still various plants that can withstand the cold and changing season. So there is no limit as what I can look into what is currently available.

Oh, wow, that's really cool! Um, no pun intended.

...I've never actually known, what's the difference between gelato and ice cream and sherbet and... sorbet, if that's different?

I'll have to head in and try your flavor of the month soon, that sounds yummy!

[localweirdo]

And what is this bubblegum you speak of? I'm afraid I never heard of it.

[fun_thementalist]

As I mentioned, my dear, flowers are much more my thing. And this is Senku-chan’s present! Don’t stress yourself too much if it doesn’t look ornamental and pretty.

After all, that isn’t what our birthday boy is after, is it? He’s all about utility.

[fun_thementalist]

Pun certainly *appreciated*, however.

Ah, they’re all different kinds of recipes! Basically you’re involving milk or cream or eggs and so on. It’s more than just having tasty flavors and milk. Sorbet is completely dairy free, in fact!

We’ll certainly be delighted to see you, my dear. What flavor excites you most?

[fun_thementalist]

You’ve never had bubble gum? My dear friend, you’re missing out.

It is a sweet treat all on its own - but perhaps a little difficult to explain. You really must come in and try a sample!

[localweirdo]

Is that so?

If it is a sweet treat that is difficult to explain, I wonder if I should be worried. I'm afraid I would like to know what I am getting into!

[No, not really. She's just having fun with this.]

[fun_thementalist]

Ah, but where is your sense of adventure?

Life is all about trying new things - and this is a dream, after all, my dear.

Surely if there’s any place to venture outside the familiar …

[localweirdo]

And this is your way of convincing me to come to your store?

Well, you will have to try harder than that! What else can you do to make me go there?

[fun_thementalist]

Well it’s also all *free* of course …

But if free, unlimited amounts of ice cream and gelato aren’t enough for you - if the idea of tasty hot ramen to ward off the cold doesn’t entice you …

I could also tell your fortune, my dear. That’s likewise a free service for the most discerning of customers.

[queenofkur]

If I may ask, how does ramen taste?

[localweirdo]

I wasn't aware that there was fortune telling involved as well. I think you have gotten yourself a customer!

Although, I will have to warn you, I am a fairly picky person to deal with.

[No, not really. Not at all.]

[fun_thementalist]

Fortune telling is always on the table when I’m holding the cards, my friend. Perhaps I need to improve my reputation if that’s not so readily known.

Is that so? I’ll consider it a badge of honor if I can impress you, then ^_~

I look forward to seeing you~!

[fun_thementalist]

Ah, is ramen new for you, my dear?

It is salty and savory, in both the pork and miso flavors we’ll serve. Many - including me! - find the many flavors and textures comforting.

The soup can be quite filling, too - especially with all the toppings we offer! I’d certainly invite you to try some :3

[a_sweet_little_peach]

Oh, how fascinating. I've only ever made, um, regular ice cream myself.

[Though he gets the impression suddenly that calling it 'regular ice cream' is woefully underspecified.]

I'm looking forward to trying your flavor of the month, and maybe some hot chocolate marshmallow! And the gelato, I've never had any, but I think I'll save that for my next visit, so I have something to look forward to.

[fun_thementalist]

An excellent strategy. Clearly, you are an expert tactician ^.~

Your feedback will be very welcome, of course - I’d love to hear what you think. And if you have your own desires for future flavors …

[localweirdo]

Then I shall see you soon!

[And with that, off she went! Of course, as soon as she went to the place, she couldn't help but raise an eyebrow or two. Leaning closer and placing her hand on her chin, this was quiet an interesting place.

It certainly was rather unique how it tries to combine two different things at once but...]

Hmmmmm, now where is that fortune telling person...?

[queenofkur]

Most foods served on the surface are new for me. Where I come from, dust and clay are the basics for any decent meals.

[ ... It's an acquired taste. ]

I have, however, heard a lot of good things about "ramen" and your description is most intriguing. I may have to visit your establishment to see it for myself ＼(＾▽＾)／

[senorita_perfecta]

Thanks, I will try not to stress out over what should I get for him. Let’s just say that it is going to be a well kept surprise until I get to the ice cream shop later.

Yep that is definitely true all the way.
