140. Apprise

[corrinesbell]

We're about through with the New Feathers, right? There's probably gonna be a couple more, I guess. Funny how it's not the huge deal it used to be, isn't it? There're so many people here now who can explain everything and make it less...unbelievable.

Anyway. I'm Sheena and...uh, I've been here for a really long time, but that's not what I'm here to talk about. I wanna let everybody know about the tea shop! Especially if you decide you wanna work there. It's really not all that hard to make tea and serve it to people; just say something if you're interested. It's above the Welcome Center anytime you feel like tea. I've got pretty much everything, even stuff I've never heard of from other worlds. There's a separate room if one of the groups wants to have a meeting or something.

Once it starts to get colder, the shop won't be open as late, but I dunno when that'll happen exactly. Depends on the weather and how many problems the Malnosso make for us until then, I guess.

Oh! And watch out for that one bridge, there's a pirate who likes to think he can steal stuff from you there sometimes. He's really not that much of a threat. [Said with a weird kind of affection; she likes Jack. In the he's-so-infuriating way that Sparrow inspires in everyone.]

I mean it about meetings. If you ever wanna meet somewhere that has food and stuff, even if I'm not around, just go ahead. I'll give somebody a key.

A secretive back room? For "group meetings"? Sheena, that's filthy.

[THANKS FOR OUTING HIS BRIDGE, SHEENA. Now he shall have his revenge!]

[voice]

[corrinesbell]

When did I say "secretive"? It's not even totally a room, there's paper screens instead of solid walls. You're just sore because I don't let you steal stuff.

[voice]

[all7seas]

Well I didn't know about it! And I'm just sore because no one has done ANY exotic dancing for me. There's just been the tea. You should warn people about that, lovely.

[Filtered!]

[trueknight]

I'll keep that in mind. It'd be better than dragging everyone down to the barracks, at least.

[Filtered!]

[corrinesbell]

The barracks are great if we get much bigger. D'you think a lotta new people will sign up?

[Filtered!]

[trueknight]

Man, I hope not. [... Uh.] I mean, I don't mind new people joining up or anything, but I'm not the biggest fan of huge groups, either.

This is wonderful! Susanne and I have been planning a tea party, and the tea shop would be the perfect place! Would it be all right to book a party, miss?

[Voice]

[corrinesbell]

A tea...party?

[Book a party? Give her a minute to process that.]

Uh, you can just show up. It's never crowded enough that there's no room or anything.

[Voice]

[childofthefullmoon]

Yes! Have you never been to one?

[...]

Oh, all right!

[heartisabattleground]

Is that why I've been smelling tea and cake coming from the second floor?

[Hi Sheena, here's a new feather for you!]

And pirates? Great, just what I need.

[He's bitter on pirates.]

Video

[corrinesbell]

Yep! Could've just come up to investigate, y'know, I disarm the traps during the day.

[Go ahead, guess if she's bluffing about the existence of traps.]

Re: Video

[heartisabattleground]

You...you put traps around the place?

[He can't even tell, he might just try and find a house more now.]

Pirates, lad! MORE than what you need! More BETTER than anything you could possibly want!



Pirates.

[That was his PIRATES public service announcement. Carry on, carry on.]

[video] we can move this to my announcements post if you want.

[heartisabattleground]

[Okay, what. The captain was here too? Okay, deal with that later, maybe.]

[ voice ]

[tibias]

How is he not much of a threat if he likes stealing from people?

[ voice ]

[corrinesbell]

I think he gives stuff back sometimes. And he's not really doing it to steal stuff. As far as I can tell he's just bored and there's not enough law-breaking going on around here, or something.

Anyway he's an okay guy.

[ voice ]

[tibias]

Dahaha! He sounds like an interesting kind of guy.

[voice]

[tolivefortoday]

We have a pirate robbing at a bridge? That doesn't seem very pirate-like.

[More like a troll...]

[voice]

[corrinesbell]

Well if you think about it, there's not too many people to rob on the ocean. There're boats but they all know he lives out there.

[voice]

[justicereigns]

Don't be so blase about pirates stealing things! As pathetic as it is in this place or not, it still shouldn't be done, and certainly not encouraged.

[voice]

[corrinesbell]

There's a big difference between being malicious and, uh, evil about it and being kinda bored and silly and ineffective. Don't freak out; I only really said that to mess with Jack a little bit.

Voice, filter.

[avenger]

You're hiring someone to serve tea?

[ What would you even pay them in??? Tea??? ]

Voice, filter.

[corrinesbell]

I've got a good handful of people serving tea, yeah. Just wanted the new people to have the chance to do something with their time.

[She does. All the free tea you could want.]

[voice] sob

[memoryboxes]

Sheena-san, you have a tea shop? I'd love to have something to do while I have some off-time, so if you wouldn't mind... I'd definitely like to help around there. [... Does that explain why she hasn't been in the shop lately?]

[voice]

[corrinesbell]

Sayo? ...You already work here. [Oh no wait this could be a problem.] ...Didya forget?
