The break-ins are places around town, usually. The others... I don't know. They seem to happen anywhere at random, and we're lucky to catch them.

[recession]

Maybe we'd all benefit from a group lesson on how to use these portable phones.

[ They're RadioShack flip phones right, not a smartphone. Please, a smartphone would just kill Daan. ]

[naginota]

[ flip phones and bricks yeah. ]

Caelus-dono was offering help before, but it was during the party. I'm not sure if anyone paid much attention to it then.

[recession]

It was a bit busy then... but he does have my number. [ We all have everyone's numbers, dingus. ] I inquired him about it some when I was checking in on him last Thursday.

[naginota]

I don't think he'd mind doing it again, if we think it's needed.

...I did pay attention, but it doesn't make typing on the thing any easier.

[ HIS CLAWS. ]

[recession]

[ Brother's got CLAWS. ]

At least picking up is just one button?

[naginota]

That does make it easier, yes. Some of them seem to prefer the "texting" option, though.

[recession]

You can just call with me. I think I'd also prefer it.

[ Don't make him read tiny pixellated text on a flip phone, he only has one eye. ]

[naginota]

Gahaha! I'll keep that in mind! But I do hope it won't be necessary.

[recession]

Right, given there's usually only one major reason you'd be rushing to call a doctor.

[ PLEASE. SO MANY CYOAs. ]

Care to take a look around then? Have a preference for what you'd like to see?

[naginota]

But you're so much more than just a doctor, Daan-dono.

[ they've had that conversation before, though. ]

Ah! I was thinking that the tea garden might be nice. It's been difficult to get good tea here.

[ THEY JUST HAVE COSTCO TEA. ]

[recession]

Why else would you need to emergency dial me?

[ Me going to reopen the locations page because I missed a tea garden, THERE ARE SO MANY PLACES HERE. ]

The one in Elysium? That does sound good. The selections in the warehouse store are... fine. [ They're just fine. ] Drink it often?

[naginota]

Or maybe someone would just want to invite you somewhere.

[ he laughs. ]

They're fine in a pinch, but they don't have the same varieties I'm used to. [ nodding. ] Every day. I miss sharing tea with my master, sometimes.

[recession]

You don't need me on emergency dial for that... I haven't exactly had trouble running into any of you even with the great space. And I do have my own apartment room otherwise.

Have any you're particularly fond of?

[naginota]

Don't you think there are others who would do so just for fun?

I've always liked green teas, and that is what we make the most around the citadel. [ pauses. ] Shincha is a treat, though.

[ once again i fooled myself into thinking i hit post. ]

[recession]

What, emergency dial me? Again, you can always just find me. Save the panic button for when you really need it.

[ Green tea... ]

Right, eastern teas... I think. I'm unfamiliar.

[naginota]

I didn't mean me. I just think that some of the others would have fun with it.

Shincha is the first tea harvested in the season. It has a much fresher taste than usual.

[recession]

Also green? Black is typically the popular choice where I'm from, or herbals.

[naginota]

Usually, yes. We do have other kinds of tea, but we don't brew it as often.

[ the old men are always, always drinking green. ]

I think I would like to try it your way, though.

[recession]

[ Not gonna lie it took me a long time to warm up to non-Asian teas. It's me, I'm the old men. ]

We can try a bit of both. Always good to broaden horizons.

[ They can go to TEA HOUSE. One respite in the city below the sea: a few rooms of ecology stolen from the land above. A Tea Garden is lush with plants, small trees, and an abundance of flowers. Iron tables and chairs are set up, offering a place for food, drink, and gossip, or even love. The tea garden flows straight into a Grotto where a small waterfall spills into a waist-deep pool of perpetually circulated, filtered water.

What do you mean offering a place for love. Anyway. He's picking up a nice tin and looking it over. ]

Have a preference? Straight, with milk? [ Abominable sentence for those who only know traditional Asian teas. ] Sweeter?

[naginota]

A good idea!

[ help i never even saw that part of the description. why this.

anyway he's just looking at daan like o: ]

You put milk in your tea?

[recession]

Yes. Straight tea is also nice, but black tea is pretty good with a bit of milk with sugar. It's like a softer version of a coffee, although I hear that depending on the strain, the caffeine can be pretty equal.

Never tried it?

[naginota]

Ah, no. I did try coffee, at that gas station, but not with milk or sugar. It was quite strong a flavor, but I didn't dislike it.

[recession]

Black coffee can be an acquired taste. Considered an adult drink by some although they start drinking it pretty young in other nations. Tea is a bit easier, if you ask me...

Do you prefer sweet?

[naginota]

[ gazes at the weather. maybe i need the black coffee today. ]

Not too sweet, I think, but I wouldn't mind trying it with some sugar. Imanotsurugi may like it better that way.
