[Hymn #7]

[nightcrossed]

Even with the addition of a heavy coat and winter clothing, it's still horribly cold out there. (Thank you so much for that, Fay-san. You're too kind.)

I couldn't bring myself to miss my first day of waitressing, so I went, but there doesn't seem to be anyone much out and about in this mess. It's hardly worth it, and I get the feeling that I will regret making the journey after a few more days of it. Oh well, it's better than being stuck in the room all day.

That said, for those that are unwilling to leave the apartments (and everyone else, too, for that matter), a few others and myself are offering door-to-door tea service. I can guarantee it's hot, so if you'd like a cup on the house, just let one of us know and we'll bring it up for you.

I wanted to do something for everyone, and this was all I could come up with...

[OOC: Fay loaned her money... she probably spent $50 on warm boots w/o heels, $50 on a warmer outfit with SLEEVES, $100 on a nice, heavy coat, and another $50 on tea for everyone.]

That sounds really good, actually!

[scoop-tengu.livejournal.com]

*raises hand*

[apurposetolive.livejournal.com]

Tea, huh? How much does it cost?

[a-severed-fate.livejournal.com]

Sure, coming right up. What room should I deliver it to?

[fluorite-flux.livejournal.com]

May I have your name and room number? ^___^

[a-severed-fate.livejournal.com]

It's free.
Last time I checked "on the house" meant just that.

[apurposetolive.livejournal.com]

Wha--really?! But wait, you're doing all this for free? Why go to the trouble, then?

[scoop-tengu.livejournal.com]

Aya, room 406. Do you have Japanese tea?

[a-severed-fate.livejournal.com]

Everyone's cold, aren't they? I wanted to do something, too, it's as simple as that.

Don't tell me you've never gone to trouble for other people before, just because you felt it was the right thing to do.

[apurposetolive.livejournal.com]

Hey, I tried to help out Renge, didn't I?! Besides, I've never heard of someone handling a servant's duties for free.

[fluorite-flux.livejournal.com]

Ah, that is green tea, correct? I believe I can swing that. ^___^ Please wait just a few minutes.

[scoop-tengu.livejournal.com]

I'll be in my room.

[a-severed-fate.livejournal.com]

Yes, I guess you did help Renge. She seems to be doing very well these days.

It's the same concept as that, really. It may be something that a servant would do, but that servant would be doing it as part of his or her job, correct? I'm doing this because I want to. There's a difference.

Do you want a cup of tea or not?

[fluorite-flux.livejournal.com]

*it isn't too long before he shows up at her door and knocks*

Excuse me, I have brought the tea. ^___^

[scoop-tengu.livejournal.com]

What do you know! Just as promised.

[fluorite-flux.livejournal.com]

Indeed! *grins* I apologize for the wait, Aya, but I have not yet quite mastered the subtle art of brewing green tea and I did want to make certain that the batch would not be too bitter. There is a pot and a cup here for you. *holds out a tray*

[scoop-tengu.livejournal.com]

*tray get!*

I don't mind waiting. Tea isn't something that should be rushed.

[fluorite-flux.livejournal.com]

Ahaha, I very much agree!

Well then, it's off to the next room. I do hope you enjoy the tea, and I will return for the dishes later. ^__^

[scoop-tengu.livejournal.com]

I'll be sure to still be here.

[apurposetolive.livejournal.com]

Okay, okay, I'll have a cup of tea.

[blackmagicangel.livejournal.com]

That sounds so very nice right now. Room 208, if you please?

[fluorite-flux.livejournal.com]

Right, right! I will be there in a few minutes! ^___^

[blackmagicangel.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much.

[fluorite-flux.livejournal.com]

*knocks on the door a short time later* I am here with the tea. ^___^

[death-the-dad.livejournal.com]

Oh! Very, very good~

If you see my son, ask him to assist you~ I have plenty of tea to share and he would be more than willing to help!
