Who: everyone
When: Day 35 morning
Where: the lounge car

[This morning, or whenever you wake up, you will find that there are delicious smells wafting from the lounge car. Upon investigation, one will discover a beautiful spread of hot cocoa and tea and coffee and many marshmallow animals, ideal for putting in your drinks or simply eating wholesale. It isn't just cats either, but many animals of a similar quality of marshmallow, whatever kinds you'd like. But you may find the warm fuzzies they impart might be a bit more than internal.

In a conspicuous place is a note in handwriting many of you may find quite familiar at this point:

Thanks for your help.

- Hazel

His signature isn't alone, either. There are a couple of others, though somehow they're far less readable? Some are definitely just little drawings. Weird.]

[[ooc notes: 10% furry event!! many marshmallows have no effect, but those that do will instill temporary animal parts up to a kemonomimi level! enjoy your ears and tails, folks. and your newbies.]]

You're really an arrist huh? Could you show me how you brew tea yourself some time? I learned to make a decent cup of black tea from... [where did he learn it? The memories exist but beyond his reach.]

Well... I'm still not satisfied with my brewing with green.

[voreaciously]

No, I am still a novice, really. People can and spend their entire lives devoted to the art of tea. I am simply a dilettante.

[on the one hand, she's not that stupid, ut on the other, badly brewed tea offends her sensibilities. she does not have any problem with admitting, if only to herself, that it is admirable that he would like to improve.

think of the sparks, think of the sparks.]

Very well, however, many greens may require special attention or will be brewed differently. It is only matcha that can be safely done the same way every time.

[awakenerd]

Any tips would be appreciated all the same.

[voreaciously]

Perhaps...tea ceremony. When are you available?

[awakenerd]

I don't really have a planned schedule. When's good for you?

[voreaciously]

My activities are all flexible, barring meals when it is my turn. Presently, I have no prior engagements and am available any time.

[well, she does have a lil somethin somethin with crow, but that's a secret]

[awakenerd]

Then, whenever you want.

[Well, he knows when Crow gets it on just not with who.]

[voreaciously]

Is now amenable to you?

[taking that secret to her grave. double grave.]

[awakenerd]

Sure, now would be great.

[voreaciously]

Very well. Thankfully, there is tea here. It will serve, for the time being. Come with me.

[80H wanders closer to the table to fetch some things and, ooh there's stuff for matcha too, excellent. She then moves to another table and sets her wares down, expecting Rean to follow all the while.]

Black is more durable, in a way, more forgiving of mistakes, so you will need to forget everything you know of it as you move to green. One must be incredibly mindful of temperature and steep times. In the former case, if the water is too hot, the leaves or powder will scald, resulting in unpleasant bitterness.

Leaving it to steep too long will also result in the same. I do not recommend either. However, not all greens are created equal, be they quality or character. Each will have different needs.
