Er...hello, Luceti. This is Roji. It's been a weird week... I gotta say it's weirdest way I've spent my birthday in a long time. [Stop stalling, Roji.] But the main reason I'm making this post is because I have a question...

[There's a slight, reluctant pause. He feels so bad about this, pfft.]Is anyone out there missing their tea set

Comments

So it was you? [Accusing. His eyes are so accusing.]

[magicwarding]

Y-Yes. I'm sorry, I have no idea what came over me!

But I can get yours right to you if you tell me what it looks like.

[minimonsterdad]

Understand that I had to drink tea out of a bowl. A bowl! [The great tea cup famine of house 21. He knows not how he suffered through it.]

My favorite cup has a crescent moon painted on it. The rest are somewhat nondescript, so I'll probably need to head over there myself to see.

[magicwarding]

[Aaand now he feels even worse. So he's not going to comment on the bowl thing.]

Oh, a-all right. I'm on the third floor of Community Housing 7, room #11. You're welcome to come whenever you like. [He's hoping for sooner rather than later...]

[voice]

[corrinesbell]

You emptied my entire shop!

[voice]

[magicwarding]

W-What?! How did I even manage that?

[He's almost as impressed as he is horrified.]

[voice]

[corrinesbell]

I dunno but you better start figuring it out. And bring back all my tea stuff!

[voice]

[magicwarding]

Y-Yes ma'am! [The sound of tea sets rattling echoes throughout as he frantically starts grabbing as much as he can hold.

Silence falls after a minute or two.] Ah, do you have a list of your sets? I don't want to mix yours up with others'...

[Guy has been listening to and reading everything he can, and this particular post grabs his attention. Not because he had a tea set thieved from his belongings, but because he doesn't have one at all.]

Bit maddening, this last experiment.

[He is familiar with the fairytale, and chuckles the wolf he was at his own poor joke.]

While I may not be the rightful owner of one of the varying sets you thought to take, should any one of them go unclaimed, I'd be happy to take one off your hands.

[His own abode shared with Kim and Anthony may have coffee and mugs and other such things, but the one English thing it seems to be missing is the one thing this person has an excess of.]

I don't believe we've met, frankly. Though I'm happy to introduce myself.

[Roji only laughs sheepishly at that joke.] That's a good word to describe it.

[His tone picks up at the offer though.] Actually, I'd like that a lot. I have a feeling I'll end up with some leftovers...

Ah, you're right. I'm Roji.

[voice] sorry for the delay, RL kicked me around. ;;

[thatmadbastard]

Guy Burgess. A pleasure, Mister Roji.

A tea set is one of those proper things I haven't yet been able to acquire, a quintessential part of a household, I believe. Or any place you decide to live. You just can't have tea without a pot specifically for it. The only people who make tea and don't give a damn what it's made in are the Americans.

[voice] No problem! I was on a mini hiatus for a few days anyway.

[magicwarding]

Nice to meet you too, Mister Burgess.

[Wow, how formal. And how...passionate this guy is about tea.]

What do they use, then?

[voice]

[fierybluebird]

Happy Birthday, eh.

Do you have any sets with blue feathers painted on them?

[voice]

[magicwarding]

Thank you.

I... [the "I" is drawn out as he looks at the mountain.] do! They're yours, I'm guessing?

[voice]

[fierybluebird]

You're welcome.

Yes. If it's not too much trouble, I'll come get them. They're a bit unique, eh?

[voice]

[magicwarding]

They're really nice! I think it's a cute design.

And that wouldn't be any trouble at all. I'll be here all day, so any time is fine.
