Who: You
When: Day 52, morning
Where: Anywhere

[Of course there's still the flowers that, when stepped on, enhance or dull a sense, and there are still some chocolates in the lounge if you missed them or want more.

But this morning dawns with an infestation of bats.

That is, tiny tiny clockwork bats that get in your hair and coffee and make tiny tiny clockwork bat screeches.

Should you encounter a clockwork bat, and they're pretty hard to dodge, the next person you talk to will... Well, see one of your memories.

Otherwise it seems like a pretty typical morning, and the bats will be gone by afternoon.]

and making a face ]

Did you burn your tea?

[schrodingerscockroach]

....you don't know about coffee?

[dragonheartedgirl]

[ Coffee beans come from tropical parts of Africa--probably not available in fictional not!Korea. ]

"Coughee?" That's what you call this?

[schrodingerscockroach]

....yeah.

It helps keep you up better than most teas.

As for taste....depends how you feel about bitter, but you can add cream and sugar.

[dragonheartedgirl]

How bitter?

[ tea can be fairly bitter. Can't it? ]

[schrodingerscockroach]

It varies, depending on brew type and how many grounds are involved.

I'm not a fan of bitter so I usually put in a lot of sugar and some kind of dairy.

Want to try some?

[dragonheartedgirl]

You're offering to share with me?

[schrodingerscockroach]

Sure. Not hard to make more if you want your own cup.

[dragonheartedgirl]

In that case, maybe just a little. It would be a shame for me to waste your precious "coffee" if I don't end up liking it.

[schrodingerscockroach]

[Shrugs.] It doesn't cost that much. Really, the thing that makes this good coffee is having the time to prepare it properly instead of needing it to be basically battery acid.

[But he'll make her some coffee.] Do you like sweet or bitter?

[dragonheartedgirl]

Probably sweet more than bitter....

[schrodingerscockroach]

Sure.

[Gonna get plenty of milk and sugar then.]
