Sushigumi: Living Spaces

This AU is a bit too much fun— but don't worry! I won't be drowning my blog with it. I still have other posts lined up, after all!

Remember: everything related to this AU is tagged as “sushigumi au”.

You can find the first Sushigumi post here!

In General

The Sushigumi all have their separate residences around the city.

However, during extended filming sessions, for ease of transport, the chefs stay in a mansion not too far away from the studio.

There are also other mansions scattered about the country— just in case Shishi-Cooking ever decides to shoot a few episodes in different areas.

Ibuki

a picturesque house just outside the city.

Ibuki has a lovely, well-maintained hedge that wraps around his property.

He doesn't need anything big— he thinks that he would grow lonely in a larger home, anyways.

It's barely big enough to host his co-workers, if they ever need a place to crash.

.

Dolph

owns a penthouse in the city which overlooks a large park.

Has a professional kitchen with high-end equipment and ingredients at his disposal— he likes to cook outside of the studio, after all.

Invited Agata to stay with him after his parents kicked him out the house. The younger lion has been living with Dolph ever since.

Agata has his own designated room and bathroom— this is useful, considering that Agata likes having his privacy . . . it was something he didn't have much of when he was younger.

Free

originally crashed with Ibuki, but missed the business of the city (read: Ibuki kicked him out after he broke his fine china twelve too many times) so he found himself somewhere within the heart of the city

He has an entire floor to himself, which is great, because he needs all of the space.

Free’s apartment is very clean— having bunked with Ibuki for so long, it was inevitable that Free would pick up on the other's cleaning habits.

He calls Ibuki up regularly, especially when he needs help figuring out what brand of laundry detergent is best, and how to get food stains out of clothes.

Free's bathroom is littered with a variety of mane products . . . he makes it look easy but maintaining a mane of his texture and style isn't easy work.

Agata

he used to live with his parents.

When he dropped out of university to study cooking, his mother kicked him out the house.

His father was sympathetic to his son's plight (but powerless against his wife), so, he arranged for Agata to have an apartment in the city.

Since becoming a chef on Shishi-Cooking, Agata has moved around a lot.

He’s lived close to the beach, within the heart of the city itself, and in a few gated communities.

Nowadays though, he seems more than contented to stay with Dolph.

Dope

lives close to the beach.

His home is nothing fancy, but Dope considers the early morning sunrise and late evening sunset to be the most beautiful he’s ever seen.

Living close to the water has given him ample opportunity to talk with aquatic animals

Through them, he learns new recipes and finds more content for his segment on the show.

.

.

.

Jinma

he has a regular apartment in one of the better parts of the city.

The location was chosen because of its proximity to book stores and libraries.

Jinma doesn't know everything, but having easy access to books is key to him having ample content for his part of the cooking show.

Especially since not all books can be found online.

Maintains a steady relationship with Ibuki. Jinma’s search for knowledge has left him acquainted with several publishing and distribution houses.

If Jinma doesn't know where you can find a specific book, he knows someone that does.

Hino

couldn't decide on renting a penthouse or buying a place out in the country.

He opted for the latter, seeing as it's quieter there.

He lives in a small town.

By all accounts, he's very invested in the community there— even if he is more active at night.

Local children are convinced that the nice, rich lion who hardly comes out during the day is a vampire.

.

Sabu

lives in the city, but in the outer areas, where there's less hustle and bustle.

He only really leaves his home to go grocery shopping, or to do light exercises with Miguel to keep in shape.

The neighbours assume that he's part of a gang at first, but then they see him on Shishi-Cooking.

Sabu is sometimes accosted by older folks in the grocery store— don't worry, though! They just want his autograph :)

.

.

Miguel

lives close to Sabu; the local area has several parks and recreational centres where he can work out.

If he isn't cooking or sleeping, then Miguel is exercising.

Cycling, jogging . . . he's out so often that most of the local shop owners know him on a personal level.

He frequents the beach, too, so he often spends his days with Dope.
