The Tea Room (Renovated)

[pyan]

*squeezes in through the doorframe, which buckles slightly but gamely stays upright, and grabs a sofa that's trying to sidle away un-noticed*

Evening, people, and other sentient beings! I know I don't frequent the place much these days, but nixie just got me here with a whim of steel...

*Five tons of Great Old One settles gingerly on to the sofa, which creaks alarmingly but, remarkably, stays in one piece*

Ahh... Tea, Earl Grey, lemon, please, if someone would be so kind...

[The Ace]

Freda picks up Tangle;

Put him in White Legs' bedroom.

"Thanks Freda, Hi Spring. There's mince 'n' tatties for later. I'll give Freda time to get back, Nixie, I promised I'd let her light the bonfire."

[nixie]

Makes Tea, anything else sir? Us tearoomers can be civilised. Ignore the screams, nothing to worry about, a random spammer.

[mirinda]

Pyan! *Flutters around* Good to see you in the tearoom again.

[pyan]

Thanks, nixie. Hi, Ace, Springs, Karn! Freda, these are for you* holds out large tube of Pringles*
Mir! *hug*Long time no see! How's life treating you, then?...

[mirinda]

Always interesting around here, you know that.

[The Ace]

Freda comes back in, bows to Pyan, takes the pringles, and stands expectantly in front of The Ace, who picks up the unlit torch.

"Now remember what I told you about being careful ? " Freda Nods, "Straight to the bonfire, start the fire in as many places as you like, and throw the torch onto the fire. Got that ?"

Yes.

They move just outside the french windows and the Ace lights the torch. Freda scuttles off, holding it high in one palp."Here we go, then."

[pyan]

Oh dear...Freda plus a naked flame. Is this really wise, Ace?...

Kirby is a boy, Springs. Or at least generally accepted to be a boy.


"Paiyo!" *Kirby turns indignantly from springs*

[mirinda]

Hey! Have a little faith in Freda. *flies back a safe distance anyway.*

[nixie]

Good girl Freda, wraps potatoes in silver paper and throws on fire.

[Karn Maeshalanadae]

Chili's done!


*Puts out a big bowl for Mir* That one is yours. *Pours out other bowls* And for anyone else who wants some.


Kirby, will you actually LEAVE some chili as leftovers? And eat with your spoon like everyone else.

[The Ace]

"I've spent the past week showing her videos of what happens when fire gets out-of-hand, Pyan. She knows enough to do exactly what she's told."

At that moment, the torch arcs up before burying itself near the apex of the bonfire, now starting to catch.

[pyan]

Well, she did that nicely. Perhaps you could show her how to throw torches at demons - not that I've seen any in here for a long, long time...

*looks almost wistful at the lack of cracks in the Basement leading to the Underworld*

Guess we sealed them up good and proper, Ace. Good times...

[mirinda]

Karn....just how spicy is this?

Ooooh. *watches the fire*
