Tea Blend 1

WHO:Saori and You!
WHERE: Kaisou and network
WHEN:Mid to Late September
WHAT: Saori's intro and event catch all
WARNINGS: None at the moment but will update this if necessary

[Labyrinth - Open]
[Saori blinks in a stupor when she realizes this isn't the Inari manor kitchen any more. Well that's just great. She puts her hands on her hips as she looks for any clues to get out.]

Well...at least this happened before I turned on the stove?

[She walks alone in a labyrinth made of infinite rows of bookshelves. A finger idly runs across the worn book spines. She recognizes several of these titles. Many are collections of folklore and mythology. Her brow furrows when she hits another dead end but stops when she sees several objects in a black lacquered tray: a tarnished gold ring with a small diamond, a pale gray and white Japanese tea cup and a rather well loved and a worn book whose title faded away a long time ago.]

Honestly I thought these things were lost by now. Though I bet there's a catch if I so much touch them.

[Network - text, un: ochazuke]
So where I can find some good tea and food as a coping mechanism after being dropped here so suddenly? This was not how I expected to return to the land of the living. Or at least a version of one, I guess?

[The Great Library of Alexandria - Open]
[A few days of adjusting later, Saori's doing considerable well. Once she hears about a certain library, of course how could she not go. The literature wing practically calls for her but the inclusion of a mess hall and kitchen are a pleasant surprise to her. After spending a few hours curled among the books, it's time for her stretch her legs and whip up something in the kitchen.

Luckily, she brought the apron she wore upon her arrival and starts washing the rice. As she lets the rice soak, she picks out shiitake and shimeji mushrooms, a strip of konbu, soy sauce, sake and mirin from the stock and prepares them to add to the rice cooker with the rice. And yet, it doesn't feel like enough...maybe some salted salmon filets grilled should do the trick. She's midway preparing a bowl for herself when she realizes she's not alone.]


Oh sorry I didn't notice you there. Would you like some as well?

Okay, so! It hasn't got the best drinking tea in the world but the BEST place when you can get both regular tea, some snackies and some great metaphorical tea is this place called Central Perk!

It's got these absolute LUNATICS, like Grade-A batshit assholes who get into all sorts of shenanigans and it's the best entertainment to listen to what they-

No sorry. Back up. "RETURN to the land of the living?"
bebest: (Yeah I was born to be a)

RIGHT! Like you can not get more convenient than that. They're total disasters to watch. We've got a whole online chat group about them and everything.

Oh. Wow. Well, that's sure a THING. Welcome to not being dead, I guess? I mean, we have a whole, like, rebirth thing here too? But we normally like, just start remembering stuff after living in this world our whole lives instead of just showing up.
bebest: (And oh Lord don't try me)

FULL on dumpster fire!!! One of them is like, a dinosaur scientist in love with the same woman since high school. Like, SERIOUSLY, creepily pining. It's like watching a really slow car crash!

I mean, so long as you keep way clear of the spirit gates it's not normally the worst place in the world to be.

Right? Like either do the thing or move on my dude, once you're past a decade it's totes stalker territory!

Oh yeah, some of them are like, okay? I'd for SURE wait to see what other people say about them first, let them figure out if it's the fun kind of realm or the trying-to-eat-your-face kind.

Tea and food are a few of my specialties. I'd be happy to make something for you if you'd like. It sounds like you could use it.

It's the least I can do for new arrivals, really. Just tell me what you like and where to bring it.

My name is Mercedes Zeppeli. It's nice to meet you.

[Irish... She can work with that. She isn't sure what the Zodiac apartments come equipped with, so she's already considering what she may need to bring along.]

The pleasure is mine. I think apple cake will work well, though it'll take a little while to bake. It is apple season.
