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?

Oh, come on, like it was any big secret. I hardly had to entrap anyone, you practically confessed to it when I first brought it up.

voice;

[nebbish]

Well - that's - because - I don't think it's a crime! I think I've a right.

voice;

[humanistic]

The right to selfishness. Oh, that's nice.

voice;

[nebbish]

The right to, to, to, to privacy. And private property. Which tends to be in rather short supply when Annie gets involved!

voice;

[invisibilitea]

I can see this!

And you'll notice I haven't asked you for your personal stash of tea!

voice;

[nebbish]

Oh, as though you weren't just talking of popping in -

voice;

[invisibilitea]

I wasn't!

voice;

[nebbish]

Yes you were! I heard you!

voice;

[invisibilitea]

What are you talking about?

voice;

[nebbish]

You said it! You said you were about to pop in!

voice;

[invisibilitea]

Yes, George.

I ready to pop into the common room to find Mitchell-

voice;

[nebbish]

[Oh.]

Well, that - that - that wasn't clear.

voice;

[invisibilitea]

Well now it is.

voice;

[humanistic]

Yeah, and then I was going to get the tea, out of your personal stash... no sock drawers in space so we'd have to hunt around a bit, but we'd find it... and then we'd go off and drink it all and not invite you.

Because that's the kind of people we are.

voice;

[little_bullet]

Personal tea stash? And I thought we didn't have secrets anymore, George?

[Does she know? Doesn't she? Is there even any actual tea? Or is it because George is so easy to wind up?]

voice;

[nebbish]

[Er - oh no - ]

It - I - it was to, to, to split with you, if it came, came down to it.

voice;

[humanistic]

You're not helpin' yourself with this.

voice;

[nebbish]

I - I - I - I - I - I - I - I - I - I haven't any need of help!

voice;

[humanistic]

Doesn't sound like the voice of a man who hasn't any need of help.

voice;

[nebbish]

Oh - well - that's nice, to - mock -

I'm not giving up my tea!

voice;

[humanistic]

Ah, that's all right. We're going looting anyways.

[Because after all of that arguing, it turns out it doesn't really matter.]

voice;

[nebbish]

[uh]

Going...looting.

voice;

[humanistic]

Oh, not really. Apparently there was a tea shop in the gardens, we're going t' go and see if there's any tea that was left laying around.

I'm not inviting you. Just reassuring.

voice;

[nebbish]

[Hey
Hold on
He doesn't want to go, but that doesn't mean he doesn't want to be invited]

Wh, th...Why aren't you?

voice;

[humanistic]

Well, you've got your private stash... sure you're doing all right.
