The Tea Room (Renovated)

[The Ace]

"Puts on the kettle, "Peanut-butter sandwich please, Quintus, thanks."

Feeds Freda and Tangle before collapsing into the ugly chair.

[HoopyFrood]

Man, I'm so uninspired for foods, I'm gnawing on a raw carrot. My health might thank me, but meh.

Evening, kids.

[John Thiel]

I see, the tea room is part of the lounge.

[John Thiel]

Make mine Orange Spice.

One of two other active users, on the spot.

*A green cloud, tinted with ice erupts in to the room and slow appers shivering*

Afternoon everyone, anyone for a nice hot cup of Bovril?

[The Ace]

Cheers, SE. I was thinking of mixing a batch of mulled wine, if I can find the poker.

[sloweye]

*hands Ace a poker*

Ah, if only i could join you. no drinking for me

[The Ace]

Nor me, but some people like it.

The trick is to mix it cold and heat it with a poker, rather than trying to boil it.

[HoopyFrood]

*Wanders in, yawning fit to burst* 6am starts, I loathe thee. And what a crap day.

[sloweye]

*ruffels Hoopys hair*

Swap your early start for a bad back?

Glüwein- great when you come in off the ski slopes.

There's cinnamon, cloves, some other spices, frequently fruit salad and wine hot enough to blister the roof of your mouth, so you sit there cuddling it and breathing it in until it's cool enough to drink.

Most of the alcohol evaporates off, (unless you take it mit schuss, a couple of centilitres of something distilled, you don't like to ask from what) but that's all right; you can condense it out of the atmosphere straight into your lungs.

Looks nostalgic for a moment.

[The Ace]

Plunges poker into jug and looks out a couple of mugs;

"Mulled wine anyone ? No Freda, not until it cools a bit."
