So after thinking about it for a while, I've decided we're gonna have a contest to name the Tea Shop! ...So, uh, anybody who has an idea can write it down, and when I've got all the ideas...you'll get to vote.

You've only got a week to come up with names to vote on. Get working!

[Sheena is just so tired of trying to be creative about it on her own, and the shop feels wrong without a name after all this time. Involving the village should solve lots of problems, right?

The shop closes early today, when its owner starts to feel strangely tired. She'll carry her journal out around midafternoon, locking the door behind her. At least she's been able to keep ice from forming on the stairs.

Near the bottom of the staircase, a wave of tired and dizzy wins out over balance. There's a lot of creative cursing - more than she'll inclined to - as she slides and rolls the last few steps...and the journal lands open in the mud and snow. So all that grumbling, and the noise of the fall? All nicely broadcasted.

Then she notices, hurrying to pick it up and clarify things.]

Uh, oops, dropped the book down the stairs. Sorry about that!

You could call it... FINAL DES-TEA-NATION!

Or maybe Par-tea Place.

Or maybe simple. One word. Beau-tea-ful!

Or maybe something that puts you in the mood to drink. Like Tas-tea Treats. Of course, you'd have to serve treats too. But the two words kind of have to go together.

There's always the classic reversal of 'tea' and 'pot', but let's face it. That's a little too childish. Well. There's always 'The Tea Pot-ty'.

You know, a lot of quiet and mysterious people like tea. We could try another angle. Like... "The Brewding Place". Because, you know, they're brooding. And you're brewing tea! [Yeah, he has to laugh at that.]

Of course, if you were attracting more violent customers, we could go with something like "Brewsing", but that doesn't seem very tea-esque to me. Maybe if the tea was alcoholic.

I vote for none of the above's suggestions.

Hm. If you don't mind the suggestion, it might be a good idea to disqualify Sparrow-san from contributing a name for the shop.

Leaves... leaves... "Al-leave-iating"? No no, too complex. The pun doesn't work. Maybe leaves is the wrong direction. Cup? "Off the cups"? But that doesn't make sense, because tea will be in the cups. Maybe I should go look up different kinds of tea...

[This is your chance to stop him.]

[Curse you Sokka, for taking all the good puns! But Oswald can still come up with something too.]

How 'bout Lucetea? Or... In Hot Water! The Boiling Point!

Do you have anything better to do with your day?

Me too. Sheesh, what was he thinking?

...

That's a great suggestion. "Sheena's Brothel" really isn't what I'm going for here.

You know, all the other places have nice names like "Seventh Heaven" and stuff.

Hey, what do you expect? This is Luceti.

[Where everyone has nothing better to do! OH WAIT!]

Oh! Oh! Luce-tea!

[Wait, that dumb rabbit beat him to it. Damn!]

Ugh, seriously? People've said that before and I still hate it.

It's funny! What's wrong with a pun name? Good Spirits has one! And everyone loves that place!

Well, I've given you suggestions before and I know how that's turned out.

But more importantly, are you all right? [Because we overheard that.]

Nothing. Nothing at all.

Well my journal's all dirty now. [it's amazing the thing has stayed clean through four years.]

He's pretty good at thinking nothing.

[She'll admit he's a good blacksmith though.]

That's a bar. Bars and taverns and stuff're...different.

["Brewding" did make her snort.]
