☂ oo1 - A rather mad tea party.

[semantating.livejournal.com]

[ He wasn't quite sure how he'd ended up back in this place after dreaming about it, but... well, he'd figure that out later. There was quite obviously a lot going on here he had yet to grasp. (Wherever 'here' was; he'd have to study up on this place a bit more in the meantime.) There is a pause as he looks about the Plane, a tap from his cane to the floor, and then... Break decides to waste no time and begins doing what one naturally does when confronted with a new world.

Getting tea.

Who has a random tea party in the middle of the Plane at such an odd hour of the day? Only a rather mad Hatter, you see. Though he lacks the hat at the moment. Perhaps the smell will draw you. Or perhaps the odd character you're quite sure you've never seen before will draw you in? After all, Break is something of a curiosity in himself with his white hair, single red eye, long floppy sleeves, and strange doll on his shoulder. Finally, he speaks. ]

Ah~ I rather believe that this place is lacking in the way of decent tea selections. How fortunate that I have found what I have. It will be a decent start.

[ He sips his tea. Who is he speaking to? Himself? ... No, the puppet on his shoulder. It actually moves and talks back to him, what is this ridiculousness-- ] This is terrible service to a customer! Absolutely awful!

My, I must be inclined to agree, my dear Emily! This is the worst shop I have ever seen, and it quite lacks in the way of looking like one behind the counter as well. Whatever COULD we have walked into, I wonder?

[ ... Well. He's not opposed to company, you know. In fact, the clownish person looks rather friendly and utterly harmless. Care to have tea with the man? ]

[Naminé's curiosity gets the better of her and she walks over, smiling.]

A tea party?

[semantating.livejournal.com]

[ The man smiles. ]

Do you presume something else would be done with tea, Miss? I'm rather curious to know what that might be!

ffffff LJ I wasn't done.

[breathenothing.livejournal.com]

Not at all. Well, if there is another use, it probably isn't nearly as fun. [She's still smiling.]

I haven't seen you here before... Are you new to the Plane?

LJ likes to do things like this

[semantating.livejournal.com]

Just because you haven't seen me doesn't mean I've not been here to spot~ Fortunately, your vision isn't so poor as not to have seen what isn't here to be noticed.

[ So that was the name of this world. Break tucks that information away into his mind, and focuses on Namine. ]

[Gwen's just back from a long overdue visit home, considering how long she had been stuck on the Plane before. And my, my, do the new arrivals continuously amuse her.

She approaches him, examining both he and the talking doll and giggling.]

Can't say the Twins are the best hosts, but you can probably find decent tea if you know where to look.

[semantating.livejournal.com]

[ He sips his tea annnd takes a cake from a plate nearby. The fork? It stays in his mouth. He talks perfectly clear around it, even. ]

Only decent? What a shame! I had expected more; perhaps my expectations were too high for a place such as this.

[ ... Wherever 'this' was. ]

[alien-catcher.livejournal.com]

[Gwen tilts her head and smiles.]

The Plane has a way of meetin' expectations, and they aren't always good ones. Believe me, if you'd come a few weeks earlier, you wouldn't be as amused.

[semantating.livejournal.com]

Oh? And what is it you presume would surprise me so, Miss?

[ For he is quite curious, you see. ]

[collector]

[Braxiatel approaches the pair, turning a paper battleship in his hands, and looks on them with some curiosity.] Like a tea-tray in the sky? Is this an exclusive tea party, or is anyone invited?

[semantating.livejournal.com]

My, a tea tray in the sky? That would be a most curious thing indeed! Also quite useful. Perhaps I shall ask them to provide one.

Tea is best enjoyed with company; there's no reason not to uninvite others, after all!

[ A smile, and a sleeve is flopped in your direction. That's a yes, in case it was rather unclear, which Break tends to be. ]

[collector]

[Braxiatel smiles and takes a seat across from Break.] Thank you. Though I see you already have company, and one tries not to crash too many parties in a week.

[semantating.livejournal.com]

[ And he is, after all, a servant. And a servant serves tea. Which he does quite without remark, smiling. How he grasps anything through those floppy sleeves is something of a mystery, though. ]

Why, I daresay that should apply to most things! It's simply common sense one should avoid crashing into anything. It would end up quite messy for everyone involved, particularly once the tea was spilled!

ee, no one saw that~

[boxtheotaku.livejournal.com]

[... Box never accepts things, especially from strangers, only from maids. Even if it's some sweet smelling tea. He doesn't likes sweets either. Gah. So he is just staring with squinted eyes from a safe distance. He kinda likes Break's 'character design' as he would say.]

I wouldn't trust in that tea you can find here, I mean it could be from anywhere don't you thi-- Um... [Watches Emily slightly in shock.] You... you just made it talk...? [Box used to talking puppets but this one is slightly creepy.]

I see everything.

[semantating.livejournal.com]

[ Ho ho. He sets his cup down. Psssh, he's sure it's fine. ]

Tea generally comes from anywhere and anywhen.

[ After all, what do you think IMPORTING is? AS FOR YOUR ANSWER TO EMILY? The doll itself just... moves and talks on its own. Break is kind of the world's greatest ventriloquist, so he doesn't do anything at all. In fact, if he's moving aside from sipping his tea, you're not seeing it. ]

Doesn't he know ANYTHING?

I don't believe he knows anything about tea, dear Emily, and that IS quite sad indeed. Perhaps he ought to take the time to learn~!

D: Noooo

[boxtheotaku.livejournal.com]

[Box pulls his mouth and scratches his head a bit nervously.]

I know that, it's just this place can be weird, so... So I rather get my own tea from a safe source-- [Freezes again at the creepy doll. ASDFgsdfg.] Hey- hey just because I'm not really familiar with your kind of tea it doesn't mean I don't know about tea. But but but anyway why is this suddenly about tea...!? Is it... is it alive? [Emily, he means.]

YEEEEES. :D

[semantating.livejournal.com]

The source is quite resourceful, and also quite safe.

[ Break flops a sleeve at you, Boxy. Flop, flop. And that is the end of that. Meaning the tea was probably somewhere on his person. And you are far too amusing for your own good. ]

The it in question tends to vary depending upon the circumstance. Rather, I believe the real question is, are you?

[ His tone is light, for such a heavy-seeming question. It's almost as though his red eye is looking RIGHT through you. ]

[oliverplus]

[approaches Break, watching his interaction with Emily in some degree of bemusement] Whoa, hey! Is your doll alive?

[semantating.livejournal.com]

[ As if in response, Emily gives you some snark. ]

Don't you know it's rude to ask a lady something like that?

My, how truly insulting he is, Emily. [ He sounds so SAD for her. LOL YOU SO AMUSING, OF COURSE SHE'S NOT ALIVE. But he will pretend she is just because you think she may be, since lololol so funny. ]

If I were to ask if you were alive and you did not feel it, well! That would be quite rude. But just because one is alive does not mean one is living, now does it?

[ Have a measured look from the clown. ] Are you living, Mister?

[oliverplus]

[waves his hands, embarrassed] Whoa, hey, I wasn't trying to insult you! Just...wondering. That's pretty cool.

Huh? Uh...yeah. [because what else can you say to that, really? Oliver squirms a bit under Break's gaze] So...you're new here, I take it?

[semantating.livejournal.com]

[ Hahaha, you're amusing. Do note, however, that it's pretty obvious from the clicking noises from the puppet it is not alive and is in fact just a puppet. Also, Emily's voice is really just a higher pitched version of Break's. But he continues on. Master ventriloquist is master. ]

Are you so very sure of that, now? I daresay, to live but not go about truly living is quite a travesty! Quite. A. Travesty.

[ He is now facing you from the back of his chair, sitting in it improperly. ] My, such an astute observation! Although anyone could tell as much from my words prior, I am indeed 'new' to this place.

[immarcescible.livejournal.com]

{Noa is very amused by this interesting character! She approaches with a bright smile, watching both Break and the doll on his shoulder with curiosity}

Oh, is it? Tea is pretty good, though! I've only just had it, so it's a new experience. Hmm, I guess that means there are lots of kinds, right?

[semantating.livejournal.com]

Oh, it depends entirely upon the tea in question, and what one would ask of it.

[ ... Aren't you a curious sight? Hohoho. Have a smile, Miss. ]

However, the tea here is not quite as readily accessible nor is it one to ask questions to, so I'm afraid it's rather more 'decent' than 'good'.

[This is not Axel's finest moment. He's dressed in baggy black pants with yellow straps and chains any self-respecting goth kid would be jealous of, but that's where the niceness ends. The red Converse he wears are untied, his big checkered duster (http://i41.tinypic.com/2use55g.jpg) is only halfway on his shoulders, his button-down shirt is wrinkled, and the tank top he wears beneath all of that isn't even tucked in.

His hands are uncharacteristically bare, but there's a reason-- he's eating right out of a plastic tub of blue sea-salt ice cream.

Nope, not his finest moment. And he looks like a girl who got dumped. But he doesn't care.]

Partying by yourself, huh? That's depressing.

... this one took me awhile, ffft. /slow

[semantating.livejournal.com]

[ ... Lololol. He just smiles, sets his tea down, then gives Axel an amused glance, looking ever so innocent despite the bite to his words. ]

Oh? Perhaps I have missed something quite obvious, but I do not recall seeing anyone else with you. In fact, all I see is you, yourself, and a rather slowly emptying bucket.

Everything here moves in slow motion. Seeing as it took me 4 days to respond to your intro. XD

[smolderingdark.livejournal.com]

[He hasn't heard that brand of sarcasm in a while. Axel responds with a smile and a wink. He's really lost his groove lately and maybe some good ol' fashioned pokerfacing will get it back.]

I might have some personal experience.

[He realizes his pale-as-hell stomach is showing and tugs his shirt down a bit. You didn't see that.]
