i bet you could
where are you pouring me tea, babe?

[aubins]

well, you have this little thing called a "tea room" now...

[probe]

smartass
i'll meet you there, then

[and they will be there! just chilling at a table. it's tea time.]

[aubins]

you asked 😇


[ it's tea time! hang on, he's just immediately making sure one of those little dessert tier stands is on the table. ]

Fair warning, I'm only decent at brewing tea. [ but wrath is here now and they can't escape. ]

[probe]

[they laugh at that.]

This is entrapment! How dare you! [what if they put their feet up on the table. is that rude.]

[aubins]

Too late, you're here now.

[ he won't even mention the feet on the table, wrath. you heathen. ]

[probe]

[they're super rude, yeah.]

Is this a date? [they ask, half teasing.]

[aubins]

[ yeah, yuri's noticed. ]

I don't know, is it?

[ he's looking for a tea now. ]

[probe]

Hmm. I'll decide that when you're finished spoiling me.

[they're just going to make him do all the work.]

[aubins]

[ wow. ]

[ well this means they have no say in the type of tea they're having, so. seiros tea it is. ]

I see how it is.

[probe]

[they don't seem to mind.]

You sure do. [sniff.] Sooo. How's things.

[aubins]

[ he's just going through the steps for steeping the tea, but he'll pause to glance over at wrath. ]

Interesting. Suddenly, I don't remember how to use a sword. What's up with that?

[probe]

What is up with that?

[they glance at him.] I don't know.

[aubins]

Well, it's something that started here, this week. In this place only. No hints at all?

[ the tea is still steeping. but yuri is going to reach out and nab one of the little cakes from the trays and pop it in his mouth.

bless him for canonly having a sweet tooth. ]

[probe]

Last week all of you could summon random things. Maybe it's like that.

[they also are going to grab a cake. delicious.]

[aubins]

[ sigh. ]

I liked the option that summoned jello shots, honestly. No insight into why stuff like this keeps happening?

[probe]

I too enjoyed the jello shots.

I don't know, though. It's probably because of you guys being here, but don't, uh, don't quote me on that.

[aubins]

Oh, you tried them as well? The texture was weird but they were ... I don't know if addictive is the right word? Very easy to drink though.

[ he will pour some tea now

please understand how much tea yuri has poured in the past 24 rp hours. we love the tea room. ]

... So it's a mystery to you Avatars as well then.

[probe]

I've had jello shots before this place, but yeah, they are - weird? They're fun.

[they hum, reaching for the tea.]

We don't always know everything.

[aubins]

Really? I'd never seen them before. It's just pure sugar and alcohol -- which sounds like a recipe for some kind of eventual disaster.

[ ... ] So we're all just fumbling along, figuring it all out as we go.

[probe]

Remind me to introduce you to 4Loko.

[do not]

Pretty much!

[aubins]

That sounds... like some sort of weapon rather than something edible?

[ said so cheerfully. ]

... How did you all end up here anyway? I know we all agreed to be here, but I have no idea how you all ended up herdining us around. [ he reaches out and tugs at the edge of wrath's cloak hood -- down, not back. he knows wrath doesn't want to remove it. ] In your fancy uniforms and all.

[probe]

[they startle just slightly at him grabbing their hood, but don't seem to mind, at least.]

We've just been here. And now we're in charge.

[aubins]

[ he gives it a little gentle tug in the same direction but lets go after that. his hand just moves to fiddle with the fabric on their shoulders instead, almost thoughtfully. ]

Just like that, huh?

No coups to overthrow previous rulers? Dramatic rises in power?

[probe]

[they also don't seem to mind that - they like touch in general, so they just bring their hand up to brush against his.]

Nah, that's way overdramatic. As much as I love a good story, it really is just that boring!
