Ship - Tranquility - I have a bit of a crisis-

So I need everyone to stop a moment and think very hard, and I mean incredibly hard, about this, because forget the bloody temperature and the mess with all that and everything else because, well.

...I've run out of tea.

Proper tea, not the space tea that tastes like the stuff you get from the blank boxes that they sell at the Co-op. Or worse, the off-stuff from Tescos.

Does anyone have real tea?

[Her voice drops an octave and she does an imitation of his accent]

I don't know if I feel comfortable-

action;

[humanistic]

[oh my god Annie]

Is that seriously supposed t' be me?

action;

[invisibilitea]

Well I never said it was a perfect imitation!

action;

[humanistic]

No, I guess you didn't. Anyways, I was kidding.

action;

[invisibilitea]

Oh-

Well, that's all right, then.

action;

[humanistic]

I'm glad you approve. And what happened to focus, Mitchell? I thought we were here on a really important mission. A tea mission.

action;

[invisibilitea]

Well, to be honest, we're here and now it's a bit of a date, isn't?

A tea hunting expedition.

action;

[humanistic]

Yeah. A looting date.

[He tugs at her hand, pulling her off into the gardens.]

So where'd you already look?

action;

[invisibilitea]

[She waves, vaguely, in that direction over there.]

action;

[humanistic]

[He glances over, in the indicated direction, and then tugs her off in the opposite direction.]

C'mon. Let's try over here, this looks like a likely tea-area...

action;

[invisibilitea]

I like it when you protect me.

[She blurts it out a little, but well, he did it earlier]

I mean, when you tell people they shouldn't do creepy things around me.

action;

[humanistic]

Really?

[Well, she ought to, right. Not that he's doing it to be appreciated, he's doing it because she needs protecting--or really, so she doesn't need protecting, so people leave her alone.

But it's still nice to hear.]

Well, you do attract a weird bunch of people.

action;

[invisibilitea]

Well, I don't mean to. But I know sometimes-

[It takes a moment...]

...sometimes I don't make the best decisions about who I talk to.

action;

[humanistic]

[That actually makes him feel a little guilty, in some small way.]

Ah, you aren't that bad.

action;

[invisibilitea]

No, but I don't, do I?

action;

[humanistic]

No, no. You're just-- friendly. Really friendly.

action;

[invisibilitea]

I don't think there's anything wrong with that.

action;

[humanistic]

I didn't say there was! But you'll talk to anyone. Genghis Kahn could have a lovely conversation with you, and a cup of tea, while he was at it.

action;

[invisibilitea]

Well, if he brought tea....

action;

[humanistic]

Pillaged tea. Would you be all right with that?

action;

[invisibilitea]

Tea is the drink of friendship, Mitchell.

action;

[humanistic]

Is that right. I thought it was beer.

action;

[invisibilitea]

When was the last time you heard of a brawl in a tea shop?

[God, Mitchell!!!]

action;

[humanistic]

Well, you know, people can get pretty violent when the shop runs out of their specific blend...

Anyway, what about after the brawls! People are really lovely to each other after brawls, buying rounds and throwin' their arms around each other. It gets really cozy.

action;

[invisibilitea]

That has never actually happened.
