Y'know. I remember when I thought four months was gonna be too long of a time to live here. That there's no way this'd go on for even close to a year or something insane like that.

...Guess I was wrong, huh?

Oh. Tea shop's open again. Sorry about not warning anybody. I'll be around today.

[[ooc: Hello Luceti! Four long years ago today, a ninja became part of the experiment.

I feel old.]]

[corrinesbell]

Nostalgic? ...Nah, it's definitely more like "fed up."

What about you? The whole place was going crazy a week ago, so...

[voice]

[chikaidestroyer]

[He snorts.] You can feel fed up and nostalgic.

Fortunate for some sort of distraction, I suppose. There tend to be experiments running during my 'anniversary.'

[voice]

[corrinesbell]

Guess you just get lucky, huh?

[voice]

[chikaidestroyer]

[deadpan] So very lucky.

Still no luck with choosing a name for the shop, I see.

[voice]

[corrinesbell]

...I've been thinking about other stuff, I guess. Why, you have an idea?

[voice]

[chikaidestroyer]

Not particularly. Something about plants or flowers seems fitting, considering what it is.

[voice]

[corrinesbell]

Yeah. It's, uh, too bad none of the ones I like best have anything to do with tea, really.

[voice]

[chikaidestroyer]

As long as it captures the feeling you wish to convey, any name would work. What names did you prefer?

[voice]

[corrinesbell]

I've still got nothing.

Hey, why don't you come up with a suggestion?

[voice]

[chikaidestroyer]

Shall I? This is your tea shop.

[voice]

[corrinesbell]

Well I still get to decide if I like it.

[voice]

[chikaidestroyer]

Hah. Very well. [There's a pause as before he starts listing.]

Amaranth, Jasmine, Chrysanthemum, Lavender, Lotus...

[Why yes, he might just list a bunch of flowers used for tea.]

[voice]

[corrinesbell]

You're just gonna list ingredients?

...I do kinda like lotus though...

[voice]

[chikaidestroyer]

I never said I was particularly creative with names.

Lotus is simple and elegant.

[voice]

[corrinesbell]

What're you talking about? You named that whole animal collection living in your house!

But isn't it a little bit...uh...typical? As much as I like it...

[voice]

[chikaidestroyer]

Animal collection. [He coughs lightly at the thought.] I suppose so.

Perhaps something could be added to it? Red lotus, violet lotus?

[voice]

[corrinesbell]

Violet's too hard to say together with lotus like that. [And red is probably not the best choice.] Maybe not a color...

[voice]

[chikaidestroyer]

Some other modifier? [Hmm...] Blooming, floating?

[voice] /reads booming, cracks up

[corrinesbell]

I'll think about it. Thanks, though.

[voice]

[chikaidestroyer]

Of course. I suppose there is no harm with referring to it as "the tea shop." It's not as if the bakery has a name, either.
