Hey all. Just checking in. Things have been busy with deliveries and finishing up our renovations before the winter comes about, but I've got to ask.

Who all has received a weird package lately? A box with dirt or something. Do you know who delivered it to you? Are you messing around with it or rightfully throwing it out? Let me know. I'm investigating a bit. I guess. It's probably not a bad thing going on. Maybe. Let's hope not.

Let The Pumpkin Spice Flow! | Tavern
Sometimes you had to go out for lunch, and not to the other place where you work. Face it, Tommy had issues with going to the Lodge for meals because he always wanted to start cleaning and busing tables or helping in the kitchen when he was there. Clearly he'd just gotten used to working there and the way that it made him feel like he was doing good.

So sometimes lunch was just a nice slice of roast, some good vegetables, a nice hunk of bread, and whatever was on the drink menu at the Market Tavern. Which was pretty nice too. The cooking wasn't up to Ignis's levels, but it was filling enough when you ordered double, and the drinks were actually pretty impressive. And this fall?

Tommy grinned as he finished his pint of the ale and summoned another one. Because, yeah, so great. He felt so bright and excited.

"This stuff is so good. You know, back home this is the season they start putting this into coffee and lattes and all sorts of food and drink. Call me a basic bitch, but I love Pumpkin Spice season. Have you tried this? You should. Let me get you one."

Let The Pumpkin Spice Flow! | Tavern

[moonlitrequiem]

Yin is - slowly - making her way through all of the different places this new city has to offer, curious, especially since she feels like she has too much free time.

Eventually she was going to end up at the Tavern, and she wasn't entirely sure what to try or do there. She ordered the smallest item on the menu - after asking to have it read aloud - but had only ordered water to go with it.

That's when she hears someone nearby speaking. Yin's head turns in the direction of the voice and her eyes widen. Because she can say no, she's never tried it, the conversation continues on.

"I should?" It was something she has to do? She can't argue with that, then.

[doubled_speed]

"Yeah, I'll buy," he repeats with a smile, and waves to the tender. "It's really great. Like, you're going to love it!"

His day was better for having it.

"I'm Tommy by the way."

[moonlitrequiem]

Love it? Yin has so many questions. Like how do you know when you love something? But she's not the type to ask.

"Yin," she tells Tommy, eyes still wide. There might be curiosity brewing in her, but it's slow to start, and long behind Tommy's insistence of paying.

"I can pay," she finally tells him. He doesn't need to do that for her. At least she has the money, for now.

[doubled_speed]

"Nah, I've got it," he says with a smile, and soon a mug is being handed to her. "I'm, like, a business owner. ANd I'm not exactly rolling in cash, but it's pretty good lately."

[moonlitrequiem]

Yin's hands feel around the mug, until she finds the handle. She uses both hands to lift it to her lips, carefully. She takes a delicate, curious sip and places the mug back down. Her head turns in Tommy's direction as she asks, "What business?"

[doubled_speed]

"Packages. Minimoff deliveries. Most used small package and letter delivery business in the city. I keep the kids in money and clothes and they keep themeslves busy. Only way I could see to help them without them thinking they were getting handouts."

Which they were. But he didn't care so long as he could give it to them.

[moonlitrequiem]

Yin has to think about Tommy's words, but that sounds clever. And the younger individuals should have something to do, someway to earn money.

"It's still earning it," Yin says, monotone as ever, but the last part might have a confused lilt, almost, if one listened closely enough. It is still almost a question.

"I have not fond work yet," Yin admits, words slow and deliberate. Finally, she lifts the mug and takes a drink of the concoction. Her eyes widen a little to the taste of it. She isn't sure what she thinks, yet.

I have received one myself… Curious little thing, really. I haven’t decided what I’m going to do with it yet. I may speak with a friend of mine more knowledgeable about gardening before I decide. I can’t help but feel slightly skeptical, given this world’s track record with strange new things.

Re: Network;

[doubled_speed]

Awwww, I'm a strange new thing to you, Yusuke. Does that mean you don't trust me?

[bufubulous]

[ Wait, what? ]

Hmm, perhaps I should have specified categories for new things? Because I assure you I don’t distrust you. Perish the thought that I should find reason to mistrust someone who was quite so capable of wrangling annoying little yokai and restoring peace to my place of work.

[ Translated to: Of course not, you’re strange but not bad strange dude. ]

[doubled_speed]

Awwww, I love you too guy.

[bufubulous]

I think well of you too, my friend! Have you decided what you’re doing with the package you received as well?

[doubled_speed]

Sure as fuck not doing what they want me to with it. This is really suspicious.

[soulsword]

No clue who delivered it, but I'm going to mess with it.

[doubled_speed]

Color me literally not surprised that a mutant is going to play with plants.

[soulsword]

Why's that?

[doubled_speed]

Oh shit. You don't know Krakoa do you?

[soulsword]

Doesn't sound familiar. Care to clue me in?

[doubled_speed]

Oh wow. Um... So you know how mutants have twice done that whole 'island of us for us' thing?

I didn't notice if I got a package or not. I haven't been home for a few days. But the coffee isn't bad. Kid behind the counter gave me maple syrup with mine this morning and it's not half bad.

[doubled_speed]

Oh, you've been hitting up that cafe Haru and Yusuke run? Makes sense. Though I can't imagine why someone would put maple syrup in coffee.

[heartofalion]

Ya that's the one. And I don't know why it was suggested but I was told that if I didn't like it, they'd give me a free replacement. Doesn't hurt to try something new once in awhile, right?

[doubled_speed]

No, it doesn't. They got me into these weird minty mocha things. Not bad really.

[heartofalion]

Minty mocha? Gonna have to try that too.

[doubled_speed]

Well, come with me next time and I'll ask them to make you one too. And we could spend the time together.
