[ While he wasn't there, it seems that people need something that wasn't ... What Just Happened to think about. So, he sits in an armchair, sipping a cup of tea -- and smashes that live button. ]

I'd like to hear more about your opinions on various types of teas. With the reach of our world's stretching out to the unimaginable, the difference in our cultures with regards to cuisine is interesting. ...At least, with what the most of us can remember, that is.

My own favourite is Earl Grey. Hard to prepare incorrectly, it has a sweetness to it, with bergamot giving something reminiscent of citrus with a complex yet humble flavour. It works well as a base for cream and sugar, and some find it nice to add lavender for an even fuller flavour.

On this topic, I am casting shame to the overly sickly-sweet drinks in the café. They seem there only for presentation, and pay no mind to what that ungodly amount of sugar and syrup does to the flavour of anything at all. Trying one, I immediately feared for my life. This part is not up for debate, as they're likely another hell-like punishment cast upon us.

Thank you for your time.

It's true that a King who doesn't know anything about his people is a bad king, but that doesn't mean he's not a king at all. A King is a King because of his divine right and the desire of his people to be ruled.

[ are they even talking about zombies anymore, ]

Of course most zombies don't really seem to want to be ruled over at all, but maybe I'm a new strain of zombie? The very first of my kind! Which would make me a king! And explain why I don't want to eat people-- yet?

[ enstars conversations tangents, ]

If you decide you would like to after all, I am pointing you in Tenshouin's direction. I can think of no one else more deserving of having to taste their own medicine.

[composeur]

[ ... headtilts? ]

Tenshouin? [ it sounds alien for him to say the whole name. almost like he doesn't even know him! almost. ]

Wahaha! You say that like he's already eaten someone!

[syncintohell]

[ With his hands on his hips!! ]

I do not remember enough to know for certain he has not, and I refuse to extend to him the benefit the doubt!

[composeur]

[ that just gets him laughing harder ]

WAHAHAHA!! That's right, of course you wouldn't! That's good! It's probably best to treat someone like that blockhead emperor with wariness! At least, for you there's no other option right? Your pride won't let you forgive someone like that.

...

Recently, I can't say I have.

[asteionknight]

It's entirely the case.

[asteionknight]

Not in the face of these monstrosities.

[asteionknight]

I am extremely shocked about what just happened.

[asteionknight]

Cardamom and ginger ... I suppose if spice is the stimulation you're after.

[asteionknight]

Is it? I'm afraid I've little knowledge of other customs.

[asteionknight]

Can you even, actually, eat that.

[asteionknight]

Just black? I suppose the citrus notes would offset the bitterness.

[asteionknight]

I suppose I'll have to find someone who can brew it properly.

[nihilmancy]

Sometimes it is. A number of spices and herbs can be blended together to create the perfect blend for one's desires- or not. Others prefer simply the tea leaf itself.

I FORGOT ABOUT THIS I'M SORRY

[stakesthesame]

Yeah it's pretty gross, who even likes this stuff?

[stakesthesame]

[ SLURPS UP A BUNCH OF BOBAS ]

Yeh.

[furrytailprince]

I cannot handle things if they are too sweet. It upsets my stomach.

[syncintohell]

Regardless of my pride, I am no fool who would traipse upon that dangerous ground willingly. Forgiveness is simply an open invitation for further betrayals. Those who are not deserving of it, should not have that privilege extended to them!

[ Tsukinaga!! It's not funny!! Shouting like the volume makes the points more than the words do. ]

[composeur]

[ heh... ]

Of course, naturally. You're still a good person, so you have that liberty. The right to stand high above and judge the wicked as they should be judged. There's nothing wrong with that at all. Without such nobility there would be no such thing as justice.

[ hum... in a somewhat softer tone, ]

It's not as if I can forgive him either. He's the one person I can't forgive. But I can't cast judgement on him, either.

[composeur]

It's EXTREMELY SHOCKING! [ whines!! ]

What are you doing, drinking your tea so hot!? What will I do if my mouth stops working?? [ his mouth is clearly still working. ]

[forgottenmercy]

[nods] There were, ah, sweets supposed to be eaten before drinking tea, with the formal tea ceremony.

But no, ah, sugar in tea.

[syncintohell]

You cannot say that of me anymore. I, too, have dirtied my hands here. But if I am unforgivable, then I am not going to extend forgiveness so easily to those who acted in evil ways under far less duress.

[ Crossing his arms, and turning his head aside.

And then, glancing back at Leo. ]

I do not remember your history. I barely remember knowing you.
