Hey there, to all the friends, enemies, and lovers!

I'm known as "Monts" and I'm an officer from the Tamamo Clan. Happy to make your acquaintance. With the new crop of Lost Souls that have found this corner of hell, I hope you've settled in with whatever faction you're assigned to and that you had a great welcome. 💖

Anyway, I want to get to know some of you a little bit more! It's nothing invasive, promise. What I'm proposing is...!





You see, I used to work at a magical cafe called "The Midnight Grind." Currently, I don't work as a barista but I'll have to polish up my skills again. These are a small sample of the drinks I would serve to customers from all different corners of all the different worlds!

Anyway, just look at this image and see which drink and description you're drawn to most, and let me know! It gives me a good idea of what to make for others in the future. Just have fun with it! Oh and maybe tell me about your favorite drink?? ☕🍵

[ooc: OTA and feel free to threadjack around!]

YES. The lighter, the better. People overestimate the refreshing utility of cucumber water in the morning. Cowardice.

[nightcalling]

cocktails and wine huh?
a lady with expensive tastes. nice, nice! i approve
must take a lot to wine and dine someone like you, huh?

kirin's pretty good
but asahi's just a comfort drink you know?
nice and easy. goes down perfectly when it's hot out

[nerine]

Cucumber water and the username 'bootyyyyshake9000' aren't two things that seem to go together, but then again
Even after being here so long, it's nice to be surprised.

[heartsnatcher]

Uh... Does writing down all of the info I learn count as snooping? I'm not trying to uncover any secrets or anything, honest! It's honestly more of a habit than anything.

Those are the two most similar to me as well! It's kind of fun to sort people like this, isn't it?

[nerine]

I guess my food and drink taste have gotten used to the quality I would have at the cafe.
Oren is way too good sometimes.

But I miss my grandma's cooking the most actually.
Mexican food doesn't have to be extravagant to be super tasty.

[nerine]

yes yes it counts
this is my info gathering 😤😤😤


joking, joking




I'll let you know for real if you're going to be put in Tamamo jail.

[They're not even cops like Enma, she's just being playful]

[heartsnatcher]

Then I'll leave it to you for this post! I won't read what anyone else wrote, promise.

Ehehe. You seem really personable, so I bet you've met lots of different people here! I'm not surprised that you used to work at a coffee shop.

(I appreciate the warning, but please don't put me in jail!)

[getting_better]

I might. Maybe. Who really knows?

[ Not him that's for sure. ]

It'll be called "Be nice to Bishop because he has depression apparently".

[ Shows just how serious he is about opening anything, and how petty and immature he is. ]

[breweries]

In that case, it'd be nothing my usual magic can't handle. And it does cut down on the length of time making it, which is one of the reasons why I let magic do all the preparing for me at Hemlock.

Golems are... rather uncommon in my realm. Can he still perform his own brand of magic?

[retroductions]

When you do, you will let me know, won't you? I do hope to try the drink that I am so closely associated with. Perhaps you may consider renaming it?

[disagree]

While we are both staying up all night due to our respective professions, the Department has been working endlessly since last month's incident. And the ones before that...

[ it's tiring, sis....... ]

That seems doable enough. I can simply put the coffee on as I do my morning activities. Thank you for your much-needed suggestion; I might tell you how I think of it once I have it all assembled and ready to go.

[swordofhisou]

Hah, so I'm not the only one who was curious just seeing it? Hoo boy. Well, I'm going to file that away. But maybe I'd call to order that ahead of time so there's time to make it. That seems smart.

[nightcalled]

Magic? How?

[localweirdo]

But there is only so much that soup or a drink can do! Why can't a soup satiate your thirst? Or a drink for your hunger?

[Where was Hu Tao going with this? She wasn't sure but she was just having the time of her life right now.]

I see. Then perhaps I shall order that instead if it is truly as good as you say it is. Woe is me that I have yet to find the time for it these days!

[semilethal]

It is Bootyyyshaker9000 thank you, and that is because I am a complex, multi-faceted individual with refined tastes and a groove-o-matic dance machine for a body.

[nightcalling]

mexican?
wait, ah, that's the stuff like...
tacos and chips, right?
what's that like?

[rainswords]

Your assistance has been most helpful, through your help I've become acquainted with quite a few terms used by people here. Ms. Marie Daenthelm has also provided me with some aid. However, through all the resources I've obtained, there is something I am not quite sure of. See while perusing through profiles on EMBER I saw a particular title and I need to understand what it's making reference to.

Although perhaps this is something to discuss in person?

[nerine]

Well, I do work as a hostess currently and that's all about being personable.
But sometimes work is just work and it can get exhausting
So you know, I need to just tell myself to relax and not push myself any further than needed.

[nerine]

Well, I'm almost starting to believe you, what with the way you write and such.

[nerine]

Haha, tacos and tortilla chips are pretty common now, huh?
But there's a good variety of soups, seafood, baked goods
Oh and tamales. Definitely can't forget about those.

There's a lot! I think you'd just have to look at what's being used and the type of dishes being made
And realize a lot of it is a result of blended cultures before it became known as Mexican food.

[nerine]

Oh, well the person who was my boss is a witch.
That's part of it.
But I think it's always been an abnormal space.

[nerine]

Because soup makes me thirstier?

You'll be able to find grapefruit tea pretty easily. Sometimes I see it in the conbini stores too.

[nerine]

I probably wouldn't rename it
But
I could probably think of a drink that's uniquely you?

[nerine]

Sounds perfect! It might not be the same, but it'll be a Shylock Bennet special boba instead, with your own magic touch and everything c:

And yeah, Oren's got his own magic, if I recall what Iona told me about him correctly.
Her grandmother, another witch, was the one who made him.
But I think he's always had sentience?
Other than that, I don't know too much about the whole golem-making side, but even though he's not the most expressive, he's probably the most nit-picky, clean freak I know.

[nerine]

I did see you and Chongyun on Ember!
Your pictures were adorable c:

But sure, if you want to ask in person later, just hit me up!
