trustfelled | Week 2.

WEEK 2
With the deaths of Sayaka Maizono and Mallick Scott the first week draws to a close. While you all have varying opinions on what happened and who was to blame, one thing's for sure: the Adjudicator isn't messing around.

Saturday is given to regrouping and sleep; on Sunday morning the clock chimes as it always has, but at least there are no bodies to find today. It seems you're safe for now. The night before wasn't necessarily a peaceful one, however; you'll probably feel a bit groggy when you wake up, and it seems you've regained something that you didn't realize you'd lost...

However, those weird dreams aren't the only new thing around here; those massive double doors on the southern wall of the foyer have opened up, leading down another hallway and ending in what looks like another corridor to the west. Go ahead and explore as much as you like; consider it your reward for a job well done.

Or perhaps for just playing the game.

[ How could anyone not suspect him!! ]

Right. [ She pours the coffee into the cup, and that. Seems like a lot of coffee. She's wondering about this... ]

[Aaand here he comes with the sugary goodness.]

The remaining third will be a combination of these.

[He goes ahead and adds some cream and a teaspoonful of sugar to the cup, then mixes it all up.]

If it's still too bitter, you can add more as you make room in the cup. It might still be- I did brew this pot to be pretty strong.

[ It doesn't look as black as it did before, at least. Katniss is still somewhat skeptical, but she lifts the cup and takes a very small sip.

... And she wrinkles her nose. ]

How'd you make it so strong?

[He tries not to chuckle...]

The more grounded beans that you add, the stronger it ends up being.

[ don't even with her ]

Did you add a whole bowl of them?

Not really. It was maybe ten cups' worth for an eight-cup brew.

[That's still pretty strong though...]

Consider the following: you just aren't used to it.

[ That makes no sense, what the hell Rideaux.

She's going to just casually grab a lot more sugar and dump it in. Take that, health benefits. ]

Maybe with enough sugar I will.

[KATNISS...]

Fine, you can start with that much, but I'm going to start weening you off of it as you have more. You're getting into the 'what's the point' category.

[Rideaux you're not the boss of her.]

The point is that it won't taste terrible.

[ ZING. ]

[This face. This face.]

If you're going to be like that, then you may as well go back to your hot chocolate.

You're the one who insisted I try the stuff.

Well, yes. But I didn't expect you to immediately defeat the point of it by basically filling the whole thing with sugar.

Are you really that intolerant of bitter things?

[ Shrug. ]

My dad used to drink it all the time, and sometimes he'd tease me for not liking it. I guess I'm just too used to tea and hot chocolate now.

[He will likewise shrug!]

Well, tea is pretty good for you too. Probably a lot better option than coffee if you're fighting a cold. They both have their benefits.

[He doesn't seem overly fond of tea, judging by his expression. Looks like they're on different ends of the coffee vs. tea spectrum here.]

But you don't like it.

Not really. Milk teas are all right, but I just cannot find a regular tea that fits my tastes.

Who puts milk in tea?

[ You weirdo. ]

Plenty of people?

[HOW IS THIS A NEW CONCEPT.]

The ingredients are designed to work well with milk. It's not like putting regular tea leaves in it and hoping for the best.

[ MILK IS SOMETHING YOU USE FOR STUFF LIKE CHEESE?? ]

What kind of ingredients are you used to?

Edited (oh my god html fail of epic proportions) 2016-07-18 05:01 (UTC)

[YES BUT YOU DON'T PUT CHEESE IN TEA?!]

Well, for milk tea...spices, mainly? Cardamom, cinnamon, ginger... Also a bit of sugar.

[He's describing chai tea here, but whatever the Elympios version happens to be.]

[ YOU'RE NOT PUTTING THE CHEESE IN TEA YOU'RE TAKING THE MILK IN THE TEA AND TURNING IT INTO CHEESE!! GOD!! ]

... I've never had any of that stuff. Other than sugar.

[WHY NOT USE IT FOR BOTH THINGS!!!]

For the love of- [He sighs and shakes his head.] You'll get milk tea next, then. Maybe this place has a pre-made mix, because I doubt I'll find cardamom just lying around.

[ MILK IS A PRECIOUS COMMODITY, RIDEAUX!!!! ]

Fine. I'll try your weird milk tea.

[IT ISN'T HERE!! LET'S GO ALL OUT!!]

I'll surprise you with some at some point, then. For now, drink your coffee.

[It's going to be all his fault if Katniss can't sleep tonight, isn't it.]

[ IT'S STILL GODDAMN WEIRD!!

She sips at her coffee. ]

Perfect.

[ JUST GIVING HIM A LOOK. MM, SUGAR. ]
