Tea Party with Captive Listener

[takeme2urpants]

[You find yourself sitting at a lovely table with all the trimmings, this unusually warm October evening. Above the table is a sign:]

UNLOAD YOUR PROBLEMS ON THIS DUDE

[The arrow points down to ZEX. He sighs, and pours you tea.]

I suppose you might as well. I have no other plans for the evening.

Thanks. It's a good tea day. Chilly.

[putyaswordson]

[ ... sips tea ]

[vaudou]

[JIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII]

[putyaswordson]

I don't have anything for you...

[vaudou]

[what about the sketchy guy suddenly sitting next to you]

[putyaswordson]

[ JUMPS and spills his tea ]

Shit! Say something instead of sneaking up on people, you dick!

[vaudou]

But that ruins the suspense.

Napkin?

[putyaswordson]

[ I'll clean it up MYSELF ]

What do you want?

[vaudou]

[:'c]

Goodness, I haven't even done anything yet. I'm merely here for the free tea. It's always nice to be served instead of having it the other way around.

[putyaswordson]

So you're a waiter of some kind?

[vaudou]

Chef, though I suppose with our cafe, "emergency waiter" works as well.

[putyaswordson]

Hmm. They could use help in the mess hall here - whoever does the cooking screws up bad on some days.

[vaudou]

Trust me, I've noticed. I am doing whatever I can though, so it shouldn't be much of a problem for the time being.
