What a fine time for the Jasmine Dragon to be closed for business.

[mintjulep]

Downright shame.

[charring]

Sorry I can't be more helpful than that. If it weren't for all the sand, I would have pointed you that way. The tea there is fantastic.

[mintjulep]

That's all right. I'll make a note of it anyway.

You work there?

[charring]

Yes, I do. With Toph and Rapunzel.

[mintjulep]

I haven't met them.

[ Though. Uh. Rapunzel? Really? ]

[orangetoughguy]

Uh.

[That's Pink's, you can't have him, Newendyke.]

[mintjulep]

[ An eyebrow raise. ]

I don't think that's a kind of tea.

[ Enjoy that Southern accent, Freddy. ]

[orangetoughguy]

I'm not really a tea kind of guy. Beer and liquor? Now we're talkin'.

[mintjulep]

I prefer bourbon. Like I said though, I'm not much of a tea-drinker myself.

[orangetoughguy]

Does a Long Island count?

[mintjulep]

[ There's a snort. ] Well, I haven't been counting it.

[orangetoughguy]

You're just asking for trouble then, sooner or later someone's gonna hit you with some real southern congeniality shit, then you're fucked.

[mintjulep]

It's just not the right kind of tea right now.

[ Later on, he's going to be very confused as to what the hell he was thinking during this conversation. ]

[fatespoken]

White, Black? Bitter, Floral?

Unless you're not referring to tea at all.

[mintjulep]

Only tea I've ever really had has been iced or sweet. Beyond that, I don't have much of a preference.

What else would I be referring to?

[fatespoken]

Try oolong.

Just seems strange. Broadcasting a model shot, while asking people whether jasmine or orange pekoe is better for afternoon tea.

[mintjulep]

Oolong. All right.

Well, in case you haven't noticed, we are in the City.

[fatespoken]

And in case you haven't noticed, I was joking.

[mintjulep]

[ Yes but Amory he has to be grumpy gosh. ]

Right.

[fatespoken]

Lighten up, James Crockett.

[mintjulep]

"James Crockett"?

[ Really? ]

[fatespoken]

Iconic TV show in the 80s. Set on earth, in Miami. One of the leads had a dapper white suit, like yours.

[totallyinaband]

Nice suit, man.

[Daaaaaaaaaamn.]

[mintjulep]

Thanks. Felt like a good day to wear it.

[totallyinaband]

You're pulling it off, man.

[I hope you don't mind be slightly objectified at the moment. He won't take long.]

[mintjulep]

[ Heh. No, he doesn't mind, not at the moment. ]

Hopefully I can keep it clean...

[totallyinaband]

Not the most practical colour in the world. There a reason you went for the white?

[mintjulep]

Guess it reminded me of a doctor's coat.

[totallyinaband]

Makes sense, I guess.

You going out or something?

[mintjulep]

I might. Haven't really decided yet.

I need to get some tea though.

[totallyinaband]

Tired?

[pinkeffinprofessional]

[Oh for Pete's sake.]

Tea.

[mintjulep]

I know they've got tea in 1992.

[pinkeffinprofessional]

Yeah, they do, but why the fuck do you want to drink it?

[Waitasecond]

Is this some kind of weird Southern shit?

[mintjulep]

Well, sometimes. I'm more interested in hot tea than sweet tea or iced tea right now, though.

[pinkeffinprofessional]

Like in a British scone-and-crumpets kind of way?

[mintjulep]

Yeah. [ Pause. ] Wouldn't mind a scone either, come to think of it.

[pinkeffinprofessional]

I'm not baking you a fucking scone.

[signatures]

Aren't you suddenly a measure of class.

[mintjulep]

Someone has to be.

[whitetwoguns]

Iced. I recommend Long Island.

[mintjulep]

Both are good. Not sure I'm in the mood for 'em, though.

[likeboudica]

Should I make some tea? It is far less difficult than pancakes.

[duplicities]

You clean up quite well.
