[ 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.

[gives him a look]

I do. Hell isn’t an excuse to neglect your health.

[look she can be a bit of a Mom friend ok]

At least then my idiot teammates can have a healthy body when they decide to jump into an abyss.

[an angry mom friend. Who is angry at one teammate in particular right now]

[neverbeentogeorgia]

I'll admit rum's not exactly part of a balanced breakfast, but jumping into abysses isn't a stupid thing that I've done yet.

That I know of.

Some reason you're pissed at me for that?

[searingedgelord]

[Vaguely confused. Like maybe she forgot that it might not be immediately apparent who she is angry at]

What? I’m not mad at you. I’m mad at Nine.

[neverbeentogeorgia]

He jumped in a pit somewhere?

[searingedgelord]

Something like that. I guess you missed the commotion earlier?

[neverbeentogeorgia]

Uh, yeah. What commotion? Was there another game?

[ while he was SLEEPING? do they happen that fast now? ]

[searingedgelord]

No. A crack opened in the world. Some people decided to explore it. If they went through the gates, they seemed to come out okay, from what I can tell. Nine didn't go through the gates. He jumped in a hole. He's been gone ever since.

[neverbeentogeorgia]

[ uuuuuuuhhhhhh ]

Is this like that time the whole world went gray?

[searingedgelord]

Only in that it's kind of weird. No one is fading away or anything, though.

[neverbeentogeorgia]

So let me get this straight. A hole in the fabric of the known universe opened up, and not only did everybody go inside, but our unit had the distinction of having the only idiot to decide to just jump down in it.

Have you considered a child leash?

[searingedgelord]

No, I think Wild City had a couple too.

But I’m definitely buying a leash.
