The whole server was buzzing with excitement and rumors about what was planned. Sarah had been monitoring the chatter all week, and had come together on this more auspicious of days to confer with her close friend: Tuesday. The other reason they were meeting today was that it was the only day that the T.E.A Shop was open. It was annoying, but consistent, and Sarah appreciated the strong branding. She knocked and entered, heading straight for the counter. "You know, in Beta we'd have a big countdown in the sky. It's a bit more subdued this time, don't you think? The flowers, the sleeping Pokemon. I like it." She leaned on the counter, looking up at the board which listed drinks, equipment, and questionable tinctures. "And I'll take a cup of whatever you recommend," Sarah said, "as long as it isn't poison. Not all of us are immune."

Tuesday • Battle Legend The Creed Posts: 1,602 Trainer Class: Player Name: Martín 'Mars' Marzán OOC Username: Stells Arena Points: 138	Quote Select Post Deselect Post Link to Post Back to Top Post by Tuesday on Jan 22, 2023 0:35:33 GMT 9 Anyone will tell you that having a shop open exclusively on one day of the week (and Tuesday, of all days) is not great for business, but Tuesday isn't here with the intent of creating the greatest and most profitable business empire in all of UNOVR. Quite the contrary, in fact. Business empires are no escapism to this catgirl, and so, weekly shopkeeper simulator it is... with a side of botanist simulator, barista simulator, appraiser simulator, and of course, we simply cannot forget Alchemist. "Oh please, a little poison never hurt nobody." The blonde jokes with a cheeky little wink, well aware that poison has in fact historically hurt many people and that the same rings true within UNOVR. Not here, though. Never her. "Speaking of the world event, how does one of our Timberland-inspired drinks sound? Keep in theme and all? Don't worry, I won't put any of those sleep-inducing flowers, although I have collected a bunch..." You never know when you might need some strong sleep powder. Like to put a mighty beast to sleep in order to attempt steal from its treasure hoard, for example. Tuesday begins working on Sarah Lee's order with a moment to waste, calm and methodical. At least she has gotten enough of a handle on her Freeze abilities for not every drink she touches to turn into a cold beverage. This one in particular is a tea, bearing delightful notes of citrus, mint, and pine that is reminiscent of the Timberland's evergreens. "I have to say, all this mystery around the event is kind of exciting. Got any speculations on who this Precipice heir might be? I've got a guess or two of my own." The tea is poured into a dark porcelain cup and offered to Sarah. Nearby, at the far end of the counter, sleepy Espeon opens its amethyst eyes.

She'd only taken a beginner's poison tasting course, and none of the dangers on offer had contained such a floral bouquet. If there was poison in here, then it was well hidden by the absolutely enchanting mixture of woodland flavors. "Tuesday, this is delicious. What did you say it was called?" She took a deeper drink, finishing half the cup. "Can I have some?" Focus asked, peeking over the top of the counter, her eyes locked on the porcelain. "One more please, Tuesday." She held her cup protectively, thinking on the alchemist's question. "Well on Beta Island we fought Kyogre, and were helped by Groudon. In the Noonlight Raid we fought Finnegan Fjord's Shinx, which was corrupted, and were helped by Ascended Moltres. There's not a strong conclusion to draw there, other than Red Pokemon are good and Blue are bad. Perhaps that's why Codie is so polarizing." "Maybe Beta Island was just a simpler time, but if there is any rhyme of reason to the legendary placement, then we'll see either Articuno or Zapdos, right? In retrospect it seems clear. Flaming tree for Moltres, the electric spires for Zapdos..." she stopped to take a sip, and shook her head. "But the precipice shrine. Something just doesn't quite fit. It's a pit, and all the Pokemon in the Timberlands are falling asleep. How is that related to Articuno?" Sarah finished her drink. "Make that two more please Tuesday, but this time I'll try something different. Do you have anything with lavender? All this theorizing has me parched."

Tuesday declares without missing a beat, because every modern teashop and café has to have modern names for beverages to go with it. Sure, she could call it something more obvious and subtle like 'Evergreen Blend', but where's the fun in that? Plus, it would also be a lie. A second cup is poured, smaller than the last. Tuesday offers it to Focus, because as far as she's aware, this particular blend doesn't do Pokémon any harm. "You may be onto something there with the 'blue bad, red good' theory, Codie is polarizing." Tuesday considers her friend's words, wiping down the counter and then reaching under it to retrieve some of the many many ingredients she has collected and stored in the T.E.A Shop. The Bronstaton Manor's kitchen had been a great contributor. "The Timberland is colder than both other areas, and those birds do have different forms, but— " She pauses, reaching into the old icebox cabinet that when possessed by her Rotom turns into a modern and fully functional fridge. For now it's barely more than a cabinet with ice inside, though... One from which she retrieves milk. Almond milk, in particular. Good friends remember their friends' dairy preferences. "You also saw the princess sleeping in the Timberland all those months ago, right? I took this circlet from her." The almond milk is put on the counter and she taps on the circlet that is as if a signature part of her every attire. Only then does Tuesday resume the beverage-making. "I didn't think much of it before, but... Lately, when I go to the Precipice Shrine, the circlet gets really cold, and a voice has even spoken into my head a couple of times." She hasn't spoken of this experience with anyone else in UNOVR. That is, of course, aside from Professor Ash. Perhaps she just feels chatty, or perhaps it's a testament of how much Tuesday actually likes Sarah. "I think that sleeping princess may be the Precipice heir... and maybe Articuno? It kind of makes sense, maybe..." She shrugs, yet her mind is still preoccupied with these thoughts as delightfully lavender-coloured milk is poured into a glass. There's another, yet this one is filled with whipped cream and nothing more. "Dream Minimalist... Midnight. Lavender from the Timberlands can make pokémon sleepy sometimes, so Focus gets a pup cup." She winks then. In truth, the drink is a simple spin on a lavender milk recipe, but Tuesday is committed to themes and aesthetics.
