| Traverse Maniacs Vol. II |
| (2012-09-26 - 2012-09-26) |
| The second issue! Hipsters, and missing people that may or may not be clowns! |
| Merilan Yursalin | (Another copy of the Traverse Maniacs periodical has circulated around Traverse Town this week... and, this time, to some of the nearest worlds, such as Manhattan, Luca, Port Royal and the likes. True to production momentum, there's roughly 35 handcrafted, handwritten copies this time! ... except some of them have merpy doodles on the sides depicting a space balloon trying to reach a giant ringed planet, only to be besieged by the world's fattest dragon. Someone needs to employ better labor... or, at least, less childish ones.) -= TRAVERSE MANIACS VOL. II =- >> LOST! From dear brother to polar bears. Everyone, I'd like to talk about a subject a lot of us are dealing with right now. As you know, a lot of our worlds have been swallowed by the Darkness. In fact, that's how we've ran into each other thus far! It's a new and exciting time, on the upside, but, it's important to remember a lot of us have been separated from friends, family, and loved ones. But, it's important to not give up on them! Surely, they must be out there somewhere, just as worried as you! As such, I'd like to dedicate a section of the periodical to missing people adverts. If you know of someone who's looking for another, if you are looking for someone lost to you, then please let me know and I'll add them to this periodical's section! Already, I have two to describe, from a young man named Riku: * Missing: A young girl named 'Kairi'. Kairi has brown hair and likes wearing pink. In truth, this is difficult! I've bumped into at least two different young brunettes in pink named Kairi... except, perhaps, it was Kylie? Or Kyrie? Ahh! * Missing: A young boy called 'Sora'. Sora is described to me as a young boy having short, spiky brown hair, a ridiculously big grin and super oversized shoes! Mumu... but, everyone, we shouldn't make fun of someone just because they need extra-large shoes! The way he's described to me, I'd be willing to wager he's training to be an extremely talented clown for a circus! And from the grin, he must be quite the joker! He'd be all, "How about a magic trick? I'm going to make this pencil disappear!" >> DELICIOUS! Traverse's Hot New Gathering Spot?! I visited the WildKat Cafe down on First's south-end yesterday, and the first thought I had walking in was: Oh my God, It's full of Hipsters! Amongst the clientele, vintage tees, beanies and bag-baggy jeans are de rigeur. They insist they're "mingling"! Two on the corner even claimed they were trying to search for aliens. Also, badges -- but you didn't hear me say that, because they all insist they're 'Pins'! Mumu, I don't quite understand the difference. But, one kind lady gave me an adorable one with a whale on it. Traya loves it! Thank you, lady! For a place called 'WildKat', it's a lot cleaner and trim than I was expecting. The space itself is sparse and cool, almost like a classy diner; there's roadside seats, and everything is breezy and white. You can expect to find the classic, standard cafe fare there; there are a few interesting foods they brought over from a world called 'Shibuya'. Apparently, you can even play a game with some of them. But, what does the Pocky game entail...? I'll have to find out! But, what impressed me the most was how flexible they're willing to be! This honest journalist had difficulty finding a suitable dish, unfortunately... as tasty-looking as the eggs benedict on bacon is, or the chicken on tramezzino are. Mumu, perhaps I need the opinion of someone who can eat some of these foods...? But, the owner, Mr. Hanekoma came around and asked what was wrong, and I explained that some foods were treif to me. To my surprise, he was completely understanding! He could only do so much about the preparation, but he promised to exclude anything not kosher! Wow, what service! Dear Readers! This satisfied journalist had the best bouillabaisse soup she's ever had! The fish were cooked perfectly - tender and white, and not tough and overcooked and the soup had a beautiful, absolutely gorgeous lustre to it, topped off with some rustic sourdough bread and slightly-sauteed garden vegetables. The coffee was spot-on, as well - really, the whole experience was remarkable, the wait staff were extremely friendly and attentive! At around 60 munny per main, WildKat is a little on the pricey side, but the meals are generously sized and beautifully presented, with high quality ingredients. |
