Sanity's Cynosure

*voice of j.d. from newly-grown corridor -- just down from TKA's playground*

Okay, guys... you know what to do...

*host of goblins appear, carting all necessary accoutrements of Tea Room into greyish-white void; as they enter, sparklings appear, which begin to take on darker colours, finally spreading and solidifying into a large cavern-like room filled with various formations resembling stalagmites, stalactites, and numerous formations, but all made of a plastic entity to allow for rearrangement as needed...

once the goblins have finished, j.d. pokes his head in door, nods in satisfaction, and motions Glicella and the other denizens into the space (with the exception of Tabby, who is still grounded to old Tea Room for the nonce); as they take up their preferred positions, j.d. notes that this new place has some odd shimmerings in various corners.... however, uncertain what they may be, decides to let them be for the time being, but to watch them, nonetheless....*

All right... all settled in? Good. I'll leave things in somewhat nascent state for the next few days, so people can arrange things to their comfort and liking; and now....

*hangs sign above lintel*

SANITY'S CYNOSURE

There... I think they'll appreciate the humour.....

*as j.d. walks away, the sign, before in flat colours, begins to take on a shimmering glow... colours sparkle, fade, then flare into new blendings of colours, some of which are not from any chromatic scale in the known universe.....*

Re: Sanity's Cynosure

*Wanders in, looking confused...*

I don't know where to go, I can't get into the Tea room...

Oh! WAIT! This is the new room! *Dances* Coooool.

*Looks around* Nice! And so begins a new era....

[wanders in, looks around]

It's nice, I guess. If anyone needs me I'll be in the deserted Tea Room...

Re: Sanity's Cynosure

*wanders into new, sparkly room dragging Phoebe along with her - perhaps I should rechristen her "Ursa Minor" or "Tail of the Dog" or perhaps "Hair of the Dog" - no can't call her that - given up booze for Lent! - Ursa Minor then!*

Helloooo - anybody here? *Puts saucer of water down for Ursa and looks around for implements for boiling water* Hmm - wonder where they're hidden?

*Well, j.d.'s done a great job! Finding such a beautiful place must have caused him a lot of searching - hope his feet aren't sore.*

*Magics up loads of lead crystal vases, fills them with mystical flowers with wonderful scents (non-alergenic), places them on all the windowsills and coffeetables(/teatables for Hoops!) and dances out of the room wondering if we can still call it a tea room!*

*Comes in from the basement*

It's a good thing the basement is everywehere. *Sets down antique deagon table with chairs for as many people as necessary*

And here's beanbags as well.

Re: Sanity's Cynosure

"Morning all, don't worry SS, " opens 1-D pocket and extracts chandeliers, then walks over to a convenient wall and sets up bookcase, finally puts SS's favourite teapot on bar and puts kettle on, "That's better." Sets about feeding menagerie then sits down on new fireside rug between Wally and Freda, who are still unsure about the move.

Re: Sanity's Cynosure

*Hugs*

Oh, I can't promise that

Yeah, 'tis great. And everyone's already making it homely. How lovely. Although maybe we should have a new look in here? Maybe some retro-furniture with curves and bright colours! Or hammocks! Or egg chairs! Or...or...um...

Re: Sanity's Cynosure

"Messieurs, faites vos jeux," Freda is now scuttling around, palps waving, exploring her new home. Wally follows at a more sedate pace.

I'm sure we'll think of something new!
Got to dash - back to the grind - see you all later!

*Walks in with the usual entourage of ninjas doing carefully placed back flips* (The Pirates had the day off)

Wow, this is a really nice place, especially since I never saw the tea room

*Does a robot dance quickly for entertainment, brews a cup of irish breakfast, and tries desperately to wake up completely before leaving with ninjas in tow*

Catch ya later

Re: Sanity's Cynosure

You've obviously got a few ideas, Hoopy.

Tea Room Mk III

*puts the kettle on and tidies up a bit*

This Tea Room is in an entirely different place to the Mk II which closed earlier today, it'll have all new features, plus some old favourites

*Booracket enters and takes up a prominent position opposite the door*
