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!]

Tag yourself? You're asking people to make a selection based on which we find most relatable, correct?

Very well. Give me a moment.

Can I choose water? It's not among the choices available in your diagram but I feel it is the most suitable. Certainly, I don't find myself inclined towards any of the other options. Yes, I have settled on it.

[nerine]

How austere of you Xingqiue...!
Hm. Could I make a suggestion?

[rainswords]

Not entirely, otherwise I would have to dock points. I suppose this is my fate. Although that's not as bad as Seen Tsu.
But very well, let's hear your suggestion then perhaps you could answer a small and insignificant question I have.

[nerine]

I think you'd like this Moroccan mint green tea that we serve at the cafe.
It's very different from other mint teas that tend to be very herbaceous and overly aromatic.
In comparison, the flavor is more gentle and has hints of lemon without being overly citrusy.
Very good to drink while reading a book.

[rainswords]

Am I allowed to mention that your suggestion is not among the options given? What about those comments? Will I get my own as well?

[nerine]

It's just off the "menu" that's all 😉
As for custom commentary...

Serene and comfy

Only likely to raise hell when people aren't looking.

Like opening a box full of surprises.

[rainswords]

This is my fault. I am already aware that through text alone it is difficult to fully convey a message. I was kidding before. But you really did all that for me. That's very kind of you to make tailored commentary. Although I do wish to believe I show enough restraint to not really raise hell whether people are watching or otherwise.

Am I allowed to make an inquiry now? Worry not, I won't request you retake the role of a barista.

[nerine]

Sure! Let me know what's up and I'll see what I can do c:

[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]

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!

[rainswords]

Our profiles is not what I was referencing. Actually, now I have to take into consideration that perhaps that whole thing is embarrassing. Or shameful. Hm. Or is it desperate for some people?

But I guess Chongyun's picture might be adorable. I did select it after all.

I am getting sidetracked here. I suppose it doesn't matter all that much. I'll ask now. If someone received a title such as pegging master 9000, what is it making a reference to? It's kind of important that I know.

1/2

[nerine]

[No. No! No, no, no. Noooooooo. Nuh-uh. Never. Nope. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPE.]

[nerine]

Ah ok.
That title you received is basically foul, rude, and inappropriate.

Can I please just leave it there?

[She did her best... As the older sibling figure.... ]

[rainswords]

[ If only he was aware of that mental car crash but alas. His need to know remains, of course now that she has made a reference to what it may allude to, it does make sense why it was deemed for the best that he didn't entertain such thoughts. Of course, he can't really do something when he knows nothing about it aside from it being foul, rude, and inappropriate... ]

No, I was not designated as pegging master 9000. That was someone else, someone I have limited familiarity with. In a sense. It's a complicated matter. But it is important that I am aware of these things. Although I do suppose it's implied I should research this on my own?

[nerine]

I would not do research on this, especially not on your phone
If you're going to ask someone

[quick, her brain browses through names she knows from her time in Jigokucho thus far, and in a panic, she selects:]

ask someone that's trustworthy.........

[she can't inflict this on anyone else, she can't, she's not that mean, or rather there's no one else she can feel guiltless about ]

[rainswords]

Wouldn't that be the fastest way to obtain information? Although I keep getting something about SafeSearch. So that's not going to help me.

Wait I see. I just have to switch it off.

[ But that will have to wait a moment... ]

You're not someone trustworthy?

But I suppose I can just ask Chongyun. Perhaps he is aware. Very well, I'll go ahead and ask him then.

[nerine]

[The battlefield inside of her mind right now.]

Maybe rather trustworthy, someone more confident to tell you to like it is.

But uh
I don't think Chongyun would know any more than you do?
Is there anyone else you know that could be better for this?

[rainswords]

[ It's not going to get better soon... ]

So you're now not only untrustworthy but are also lacking in confidence...?

And there is no knowing until I ask, is there? Well, then if not Chongyun then what about Hu Tao? Otherwise, I am not sure, perhaps I should just go ahead and ask both of them. How about that?

[nerine]

[...She wonders if her abuela has somehow cursed her, for all the pain she's caused her and her grandfather]

Well
Go ahead
I can't really stop you 😣
