[She sounds like every word is said with thought, intentionally, carefully. She still isn't sure everyone can hear her, that's all.]

Hello. My name is Annie, and I'm new onboard from the last Jump and I'd like to-

[Okay now she feels self-conscious]

Tea! I have tea! If anyone would like a cuppa, I have an extra mug as well, if you'd like to meet!

Are these conversations on this device usually this terrible to start?

[The voice is young, male, not overtly cheerful.]

I suppose that depends on your point of view.

What kind of tea is it?

[voice]

[invisibilitea]

Well that isn't helpful, is it?

Black tea.

[ryuuzaki]

[Now his tone is brighter.]

I suppose not. I meant that it might be more difficult for someone who wasn't used to the technology. Our Westerosi [he says that very precisely] friends seem to be learning, however. It might also be difficult for someone who isn't used to public speaking, or...

[The suggestion of a shrug is in his voice: does this describe you? He's not used to smartphones, per se, but he is used to sometimes having to address a crowd from a remote location.]

Any particular variety of black tea?

[ Oh, Brits and their tea. He and Wyoming always had a bit of a back-and-forth going about their beverage of choice. It was one of the few disputes between the two of them that he's able to look back on and actually still find a bit humorous. His response is given with a slight smirk. ]

'M more of a coffee guy myself.

I guess you're settling in all right, huh?

Hello!

Yes, quite all right. I found Mitchell!

[voice]

[jurisimpudent]

[His voice is maybe a little bit too urgent.]

I would like tea.

[voice]

[invisibilitea]

[Oh. Okay then.]

We could start with your name?

voice

[humanistic]

Cute.

[and also he'll just be sort of casually stalking every conversation you have sorry about your privacy Annie...]

[invisibilitea]

Well you weren't any help!

[ex_inventive578]

That wasn't terrible at all! You're doing very well, actually. Sorry, did you say your name was Annie?

[invisibilitea]

Thank you.

[Finally someone appreciates her conversation]

I-yes, I did!

[deprecate]

[invisibilitea]

I really do. Well I don't know about extra but I certainly have some.

[skillz]

I've never quite been the type to turn down a cup of earl grey.

[invisibilitea]

I only have breakfast, sorry!

Smalltalk is an art, it takes practice to master. But tea is always a good opening.

Voice

[invisibilitea]

An art? Really? I'm rather good at in person, I worked in a pub once, I did a lot of smalltalk there.

[Well. Not actually all that much.]

You can never go wrong with tea. Anyone who says otherwise probably comes from across the pond, bless their souls.

I'm Noah. You seem a little tense, Annie.

[invisibilitea]

Do I? Really?

voice; heavy Russian accent

[inwents]

Hello, Annie. Wery good to meet you, despite our unfortunate circumstances. My name is Pavel.

May I ask vhat kind of teas you have?

voice; heavy Russian accent

[invisibilitea]

Hello, Pavel!

Er-

[She deciphers his accent juuuust a little, but then]

I have just...well, breakfast tea? Twinings?

text;

[kringlefuck]

Great googly moogly.
I havent had a lick of tea in i cannot remember when. I forgot i like that beverage as much as i do even!

Are you quite alright since you are a newcomer or can i assist you in any way, mam?

voice;

[invisibilitea]

Mam? I'm not old enough for mam-

And why is your text green?

[refusing]

[The mention of tea isn't exactly something she's excited about, although it's always nice. It's the offer of meeting up and having company that catches Rose's attention. She smiles and gives a little wave.]

Think I'll have a go, yeah. If you're sure you've got extra? [She doesn't want to use up something that Annie can hang onto for herself or anything.]

My name's Rose, by the way. New onboard as of this...jump? Is that right? Think it is. [She sighs, and bites at her lip to keep from rambling on.]

[invisibilitea]

It's lovely to meet you. I'm new as well. And I've enough to share some!
