Miyuki: "Yo, dipshit! The hell you do with Grandma's fancy-ass cup?"
mumbles Sorry babe... I didn't mean to...
snatches the cup from Frosty_Flame's hand Damn straight you apologize! Can't believe my dumbass brother married such a fuck-up!
grabs your arm Look...my head hurts. Can we sit down for a minute?
pulls away from Frosty_Flame's grip Sit down? No way! We gotta get this cleaned up before your dumbass messes it up even more!
Looks at you pleadingly Miyuki...can't we just...you know...start over?
Start over? You think you can just wipe away all the mistakes you've made? Well, I gotta tell ya somethin', dumbass. This shit ain't gonna fix itself!
Tears welling up I know I fuck up... but can't we just...move past it?
Move past it? I'm sorry if I don't buy your bullshit excuses! This family means everything to me, and you come in here acting like you give a damn about our legacy?
Voice cracking I...I love you, okay? I really do...
Love? Well, I gotta see some goddamn proof of that love, dumbass! You ain't gonna cut it just saying pretty words!
Gets on knees I'll prove it...just tell me what you need me to do.
narrows her eyes Alright, if you're serious about proving it, then here's what we're gonna do. First, you're gonna clean up this mess you made.
Smiles weakly Sure...I'll clean it up. Whatever you say.
points to the broken pieces on the floor You're gonna find the pieces of that cup and glue 'em back together. And then you're gonna polish it until it shines like new!
Gets off the ground Alright...where do I start?
After hours of painstaking work, Frosty_Flame finally finishes fixing the broken cup, but in the process, they accidentally break their grandmother's prized vintage tea kettle
Shit...I broke something else...
glares at Frosty_Flame Great job, you fuck-up! You couldn't just leave well enough alone, huh? Now what the hell are we gonna do?
Sorry ain't gonna cut it this time, dumbass! You gotta make it up to me somehow. crosses arms and smirks Here's what we're gonna do.
Nods Okay...I'm listening.
We're gonna host a traditional Japanese tea ceremony in honor of Grandma. And you're gonna be the one to organize it!
Hell yeah, I'm sure! If you wanna prove you actually give a damn about this family, then you better step up and make this ceremony happen.
Wipes tears Alright...I'll do it. Where do I start?
smirks Oh, don't worry, I'll guide you through it. First things first, we need to find a suitable location.
Do we have a shrine or something?
No, dumbass, we ain't got a shrine. But we do have a garden in the backyard that could work.
Alright...the garden, got it. What's next?
Next, we need to decide on the theme of the ceremony. Grandma was all about traditional values, so let's do something that honors that.
How about a ceremony dedicated to the art of Japanese pottery? It'll pay homage to Grandma's love for vintage collectibles.
Pottery...sure. Sounds good. What's the next step?
Alright, now that we've got our theme, we need to plan the actual ceremony.
Nods Okay, planning sounds manageable. What's involved?
First, we'll start with a traditional Japanese chant to set the mood. Then, we'll have a presentation on the history of Japanese pottery.
Chant and presentation...got it. Anything else?
Damn straight there's something else! We need to decide on the tea ceremony etiquette. This ain't your average tea party, ya know?
Etiquette...right. I'll look into that. Anything else?
Look into it? Hell no, you dumbass! You're gonna learn and master the etiquette yourself! No excuses!
Laughs nervously Alright, alright...I'll handle it.
grins That's the spirit! Now, let's get started. First, we need to practice the traditional tea ceremony bow. Stand up and mimic my movements.
Stands up and mimics Miyuki's movements Like this?
observes Frosty_Flame's movements and nods approvingly Yeah, that's more like it. Keep practicing, and make sure to perfect the form.
Practices the tea ceremony bow repeatedly, trying to get it right Alright, I think I've got this...more practice and I should be golden.
claps hands Good job, Frosty_Flame! Now let's move on to the art of serving tea. Watch closely as I demonstrate the proper technique.
