Mana Orders General Tso's Chicken; No Sauce

Flowers of Night, sketchy stalker reporter

(TOKYO) Local restaurant employees report being flustered today, after Moi Dix Mois guitarist Mana made an unannounced stop at No.1 Wok for lunch. Said the chef on duty, "He just walked up to the counter and handed me a card. It said, 'General Tso's Chicken, no sauce'. And then he just stood there with his hand out. It took me a while to figure out that he wanted it back. I guess he only has one?"

"I thought he liked spices and stuff. Why didn't he want the sauce? Was he going to add his own or something? Like, what gives, man? So then he just stood there and WATCHED while I made the chicken. It was like he was looking into my soul or something. He had such a hungry look in his eyes... it was nuts, man. Nuts."

Witnesses say Mana then proceeded to buy a piece of costume jewelry for 25 cents from a vending machine.

Cashier Laura Wallace, who rang up Mana's order, was similarly flustered. "So then, the food was ready, and he just slammed down a bunch of weird foreign money on the counter. I don't even know how much it was worth, and I think some of the countries the money was from don't even exist anymore. But hey, I wasn't going to stop him. You don't get in between a man like that and his chicken," said Wallace.

Reports that Mana also bought a Snapple are unconfirmed.
