ϡ - Chapter Two; it's a cold day [action/voice]

That snow storm was something...it reminded me a bit of back home. [ He sounds a bit sullen with the statement, but continues on cheerfully nonetheless. ]

Ah, a nice warm cup of tea would be absolutely wonderful right now! With sugar...lots of sugar!

I must thank everyone for when I arrived your help was much appreciated. Sonic, Ted, I don't know how else to thank you. I'll have to get used to this...journal thing however. It's very strange or I'm just very bad with this whole technology business! [ He laughs a lot, because it's so true. He clears his throat and continues. ]

I was wondering if there's any place I might be able stay? I've heard from some that there are apartments available. I wouldn't want to intrude on anyone, I'd feel just awful you see! So, er, does anyone know which are open?

[ Meanwhile as he's saying this, he's making a snowman outside in the eastern portion of the town since he's odd enough to brave the cold. If you're really good at noticing tiny details you'll see that the snow isn't melting as fast as it should, or not at all, within his hands he's also not very cold or showing signs of being affected. It's probably the only perk to your skin being devoid of all heat and practically corpse like. He then starts to hum a small tune, nothing recognizable, but it's still at least catchy and you all can hear it because he forgot to close his journal, this is likely going to happen a lot, derpy derp. ]

I think I could use some tea. If you want, drop by and I'll make some. [Might be taking a risk here, but the guy sounds friendly enough.] ...I might be able to help with the apartment thing, too.

Oh would you?! That would be simply wonderful! [ You've made him a very happy man, yes you have, though he's pretty easy to please at times. ]

That's very kind of you to offer! Er, um where exactly is 'by'?

Do you know where stuff is in the village yet? I'm in community building 3, room 18, but if you don't know where that is, I can probably sketch a map out for you.

No not yet. That snow storm prolonged my investigating far longer than I had hoped! A map would be helpful, though.

Alright. Give me a minute or so.

[Keu slowly sketches out a rough map of the village, with building 3 circled. A few things are labeled, although not everything. The welcome center's also circled.]

There, that should help. I think more detailed maps are in the welcome center, or in your journal somewhere.

[ He just waits, whilst making his snowman in the meantime. He goes back a few minutes later to see the drawing on his journal chuckling as he reads it over. ]

Impressive. I think this will most certainly do for now...ah! I keep forgetting my manners! [ He laughs a little. ] I'm Helios Sprensonne! And you are?

I'm Keusrai Talemora. Nice to meet you, Helios. Do you prefer a certain kind of tea, or should I just make something fairly standard?

The pleasure is all mine! An interesting name, I've never heard one quite like it before, it's very unique! Oh, no regular is quite alright.

I don't doubt that. [He laughs a little bit.] Come on over when you're ready; I'll keep the tea hot for you.

Oh! Right! I'll be over in, er, a little bit. [ Doesn't give a distinct time because he'll likely get lost, hopefully not though, the power of tea compels him! You can hear the crunching of snow as he starts his journey to find the apartment. ]

My I didn't realize how big this place was.

Yeah, it's bigger than I thought it was. The village is small compared to everything else, though.

[Whenever Helios finds his way to the apartment, Keu's going to be waiting at the entrance to the building itself.]

It would be nice to have an aerial view of the place. Too bad these wings can't make you fly.

[ After a few more wrong turns and shuffling through the snow he manages to find the apartment complex. He's a little ways off but he sees you there and gives a slight wave, smile ever apparent on his face. ]

Aha! Found it! Your map worked wonderfully, Keusrai!

It did? Oh, good. I'm just getting the hang of the place myself. Come on up. [He'll lead Helios up to his floor/apartment, even holding the door open for him. It's pretty clean, and there's a definite tea aroma in the air.] I hope Earl Grey will do.

Ah also new here, then? I didn't realize so many came at once. [ He follows looking around as he heads up the stairs. He smells that aroma smiling as he walks in. ]

My that smell certainly brings back memories. Earl Grey is wonderful, thank you.

Apparently the new arrivals come in waves, about once each month. I think I must've gotten here just ahead of you.

[He's busying himself in the kitchen at the moment, but shortly he'll bring out a tray with two cups of tea, as well as cream and sugar. He sets this on a nearby table, then takes a seat.] Good, I did get the right kind then. I wasn't quite sure what a normal tea was.

Ah I see, yes I've read about that in the guide. Funny that it's only once each month, though. [ He looks around as Keu goes off to get everything only taking a seat after the other. ]

Oh! There's all sorts! Earl Grey, Irish Breakfast, Oolong, Green Tea and Jasmine. [ He uses his fingers to count out for each one before dropping his hand into his lap with a smile. ]

They also make delicious blended flavors now too.

Ooh, hold on. [He takes out his journal and starts jotting the names down.] ...and jasmine. I'll have to try the other ones, and maybe some blended flavors.

[He takes the cream and sugar, adds a little of each to his tea, stirs, and sips it.] ...It's good tea, actually. [Sip.] There's more if you want it, and plenty of sugar.

Yes the blended ones are quite delicious! French Vanilla, Vanilla Hazelnut er there's others too. Chamomile is good as well. [ He taps his chin with a lone pointer finger before reaching for the sugar. He puts in about three spoonfuls before realizing what he's doing. He might've used all your sugar Keusrai good thing he's semi-self conscious so he stops himself. He goes on to add some cream and stirs. Extra sugary just the way he likes it! ] Oh! Haha my apologies! Can never have too much of that.

So there's no such thing as tea in your world? Or perhaps you're just not familiar with it? [ He's genuinely curious, asking the other as he sits back his chair. ]

[Jotting those ones down as well.] I think I've got a shopping list started here. [He pauses for a moment, then adds "sugar" to the list.]

Oh, no! My world has tea! Really good tea, actually. It's just that I wasn't sure what the fairly safe teas are for the worlds around here. I actually had to go get a book from the library about it, haha.

Ah! Does it?! I'd love to try some from your world sometime! That is...if the store here even has it. [ He pouts furrowing his brow as he thinks. ]

I almost forgot about the library. I'll have to pay a visit soon. I do want to read up on all these other worlds. Some of them sound simply amazing

I'll keep a look out for some. They had some fruit from my world before, so tea isn't too out there. Speaking of which, I'm thinking about writing something about my world... would you be interested in a copy when it's done? [He sits back in his chair and takes a few sips of tea.]

[ He sits up from his position in his chair taking a few more sips of tea before placing the cup back on the table. ]

A book about your world, hm? What a wonderful idea! I would most certainly be interested! All these new and different worlds, ah there's so much to learn.

Alright! I'll let you know when it's done. [Drinking the last of his tea and getting up to pour a new cup.] I'll probably see if the library will take a copy, too. [And back at the table, adding sugar and cream to the tea.] Let's see... if you're familiar with Earl Grey, then your world's Earthlike, I think. Am I close?

Correct! [ He says with a singsong sort of tone, smiling as he finishes off his tea. He leans over to take some more himself chipper as can be. ]

Actually not earthlike more like it is Earth!

Really? I've heard a lot of people saying they come from Earth... do you think maybe there's multiple Earths, or just one? I was never quite sure.
