[ And here's what Hatter's been up to, on-and-off, during the last two months. Turns out the one and only Camellia Senensis had already been growing in the garden; things had gone from there, and he'd managed to get a good amount of home-dried and fermented teas, fruits, and spices sealed up in jars, to be distributed to the, er... general public. A taste of home. Kind of.

Now, for the required advertisement: ]

[ It'd be a pain in his arse to read off all he's written (and he's lazy when it's not life or death) so he settles for a vaguely promising come-hither: ] I've got something to show you.

[ B) ]

i'd say a name's a pretty major requirement, but other than that...

caroline forbes. currently in disbelief that there's something moderately normal in this place.

[ you've made the impossible possible, hatter. ]

[ ah, the smell of SWEET SUCCESS. ]

well, caroline forbes, you've got yourself a job. i'll be honest, it's not particularly difficult - or rewarding - unless you really like tea. either way, you can have as much of it as you like.

hey, we all enjoy a little taste of home. this just happens to be mine.

[ she's not being sarcastic, either! she just doesn't call hats flash, is all. ]
