Re: The Tea Room, Mk. IV

Have you still not figured out what Septimus actually does? He searches for the world's best example of whatever is requested and teleports it here. So if you ask for a cup of Earl Grey you get the world's best cup of Earl Grey.


Obviously if you're not getting good tea then you're doing something wrong (which is more likely than the entire world making rubbish tea at the same time)

Re: The Tea Room, Mk. IV

---(To Chris) Not only that, it hasn't been melted by Hoopy, dented by Mir, Leisha or the familiars belonging to Ace, Karn and Ursa, or (apparently) otherwise affected by all the goings-on in this room! Thank heaven for small favors, eh?!! ---

---(To Harpo) I'm good (and have been) with Septimus' features ( note my MANY requests for EG! ). I believe Chris is particular about his tea prep, however, so why not have a kettle?

Re: The Tea Room, Mk. IV

Kettle's don't last long around here, not with Lenny around.

And I wouldn't do anything to Septimus (But it's true, pretty much everything else in the room, including ceiling, floors and walls, have been trashed by me at some point, but Septimus never has ) because he serves the tea and without tea, Hoopy would die!

Begin the kettle revolution!

Well I certainly feel more solid - and walking through walls is not much harder!

Re: The Tea Room, Mk. IV

I didn't mean to! I didn't even know I could do that kind of thing. I do apologise. How can I make it up to you? Tell me, and I shall do it. I feel very guilty for what happened.

And we can start with the old kettle I dug up in the garden of all places -*presents an old battered kettle, which amazingly still has its lid, but it needs a darn good clean out!*

Re: The Tea Room, Mk. IV

Hey, I said I feel guilty, but I'm not going to be your personal slave! It was an accident. I shall have to remember not to stare so hard again.

Re: The Tea Room, Mk. IV

I never said slave - just that I have a single favour from you to call on
and would contact lenses stop the stare?

Re: The Tea Room, Mk. IV

You weren't killed, OR.

Whatever Pack was, it tricked you out of your body. (And given that it was you who were tricked, you are, in a sense, more to blame than Hoopy.)


Afternoon, All.

Re: The Tea Room, Mk. IV

*Lenny rushes in, a postcard held in his wings*



She says "Hi!", guys. Found herself a nice beach yesterday, went surfing for a while, and was going to sleep under the stars. She's missing us, but she's going to carry on with her travels - apparently her next stop is some ancient ruins.

*Lenny flips the postcard over and grins at the picture for a moment, before trotting over to the oil painting in the sofa's alcove. He slips the postcard into the frame and turns to face the room*

Now then, what was this I heard about kettles?

No! Don't worry, I can't let my fetish get the better of me for a few weeks yet - got nowhere to store 'em, have I?
