Renovating with the Night Ravers

Encounter in New Arkham

Purely by chance, I encountered a rather vocal group known as the Night Ravers. They are apparently embarking on the ambitious quest of renovating several of Malton's clubs. After observing them for a short time, I introduced myself with the traditional tea offerings, and by tasting a PKer, who had the misfortune to attract my attention by commenting on my appearance.

The Perils of Oversampling

•	Seren Lethe said “*Bites into Ram Rock Ed First*"
•	Seren Lethe killed Ram Rock Ed First.
•	Seren Lethe said “Love and scandal are the best sweeteners of tea. *Licks her lips*"
•	Doc Kelly said "*Climbs over the bar shoving Bender out of the way, she grabs 2 shot glasses and a bottle, pouring one for GOGO*
        Ya know it's always the same thing ain't it? *Slides the shot over to her*"
•	Doc Kelly said "You give them your heart then they make ya kick their ASS for being.....well MEN! YOu'd think they would come with
        an operation manual or something. *Pours another shot, then notices Seren chewing on the last of the cookie* Hahahahaha!"
•	Doc Kelly said "*Digs around behind the bar* I TOTALLY NEED TO FIND HER TEA FOR THAT!"
•	Bette Noir said "Ms. Lethe - *She raises her glass to Seren in passing,* love and scandal are indeed two of the many spices of life,
        although revenge has its place as well. *Stepping behind the bar, Bette puts the now quarter full bottle of vodka back in the freezer.*"

An Invitation to Travel

•	Bette Noir said " Well, thus my case and point about barricades. *Bette toes Ram's body with the tip of her boot.* Of course, given
        that he made the feeding call, we are likely to have attracted the attention of the small horde for certain now. We should move on."
•	Bette Noir said "You all know where to find the requisite information. Ms. Lethe, if you wish to join us, please take my mobile number
       (OOC: Add me to your contacts) and I can inform you. You have been most amusing."

An Interlude: the Princess' Tea Song

•	Anime Princess GoGo said "Ohhhhh TEA talk. *Locates a large hat and puts it on, sits down and adds to her pot 3 scoops of black tea
        leaves, a shake of some other tea leaves and the tiniest dash of something else* Sit down, we'll have a pot and i'll sing you a song.
        *GoGo's voice.."
•	Anime Princess GoGo said "Is quite good, but her sense of key seems to have originated in some strange universe where the sharps and 
        flats exist in different places* Every nation in creation has its favourite drink/France is famous for its wine, it's beer in 
        Germany/Turkey has..."
•	Anime Princess GoGo said "... its coffee and they serve it blacker than ink/Russians go for vodka and England loves its tea//Oh, a
        lawyer in the courtroom/In the middle of an alimony plea/Has to stop and help 'em pour when the clock strikes four/Everything stops
        for tea//It's a..."
•	Anime Princess GoGo said "... a very good English custom/Though the weather be cold or hot/When you need a little pick-up, you'll find
        a little tea cup/Will always hit the spot//You remember Cleopatra/Had a date to meet Mark Anthony at three/When he came an hour late
        she said..."
•	Anime Princess GoGo said "...'You'll have to wait'/For everything stops for tea//Oh, they may be playing football/And the crowd is
        yelling 'Kill the referee!'/But no matter what the score, when the clock strikes four/Everything stops for tea// *GoGo sips her tea
        and capers."
•	Anime Princess GoGo said "...about, putting on white gloves and a green waistcoat The tea has a smoked malt flavour, but mostly tastes
        like cheap black tea *It's a very good English custom/And a stimulant for the brain/When you feel a little weary, a cup'll make you
        cheery/And..."
•	Anime Princess GoGo said "... it's cheaper than champagne/ *GoGo tapdances a little, waving her arms as if they were attached at her
        shoulders by brads or pins* Now I know just why Franz Schubert/Didn't finish his unfinished symphony/He might have written more but the
        clock..."
•	Anime Princess GoGo said "... but the clock struck four/And everything stopped for tea!!! *she makes trumpet sounds as a coda, then 
        spins in her chair and pours another cuppa* So yeah, I like it too!"

A Taste of Knowledge

•	Bette Noir said "Mr. Mono, please do not mind our friends from the Celestial Order, they tend to like a little nibble with their tea.
        It is their friendly custom. Mr. Luted, that was an excellent and rather poetic contribution. Anyone else have something to add?"

Travelling to and from locations, I frequently come across newcomers on the streets.

You are standing outside Douglass Drive School, a fire-damaged metal-and-glass building with crosses of tape over its windows.
The building's doors have been left wide open. Also here is butters12000 (11HP).

There is a lone zombie here.

There is a dead body here.

You say "Aww, it's only street candy, zambah. You'll rot your teeth."

Reaching my destination, I feel the need to add a more personal touch, a sort of homage to newcomers.

You place the skull somewhere prominent. 

It's always pleasant to be greeted with tea.

•	Altair LaMont said "*Silently holds out a cup of steaming tea to the newly arrived Seren*"
