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?

... I think that's the most British thing I've ever heard.

[briefly]

Oh, God.

[How she understands.]

I hadn't even thought about it before, but - I haven't had a single drop of tea since I woke up again. And now it's too late.

[invisibilitea]

I'm sorry, do you think this is a joke?

[invisibilitea]

I brewed the last cup this morning I didn't even notice until after I went to make a cup for George-

[briefly]

Well, it's... the end of the month, isn't it? Perhaps the lockers will somehow restock-?

[No?]

[nightblogs]

It is kinda funny, yeah.

[Annie does not use the word crisis lightly. Or, well, she does, by some standards, but when she uses it, she means it. And a crisis for Annie has the tendency to escalate quickly, so, taking this very seriously thank you--]

You're certain.

Don't.

[invisibilitea]

There is nothing funny about this!

[There's a sudden shrillness in her voice - sorry, dude.]

[invisibilitea]

Well they haven't given me anything else since the first time I arrived-

voice;

[invisibilitea]

[Oh good someone who realizes the gravity of the situation]

I checked. Three times.

[briefly]

There wasn't a need for it before, though, was there?

omg r u d e

[nightblogs]

Don't what?

[nightblogs]

Just a little bit!

[people with real problems, right here. well, "people".]

All right. All right, don't-- that was just in our kitchen. Yeah? So there's got t' be more somewhere, right--or George might have a secret stash--

deal with it!

[humanistic]

Don't laugh.

[this is said in the same tone as someone might use when warning you that there is a man eating tiger behind you]

[quotate]

You could make your own?

[nightblogs]

I thought kids laughing brought joy to the world.

[civilwarring]

Maybe you can make some from something growing in the garden?

[Yeah, that sounds safe.]

[invisibilitea]

This is tea, Aidan, there is a process, otherwise I may as well just brew the space tea that tastes like acid.

voice

[invisibilitea]

Out of what, rainbows and wishes?

voice;

[invisibilitea]

I checked every kitchen in this place!

[invisibilitea]

Well, yes, and I suppose people were satisfied with the tea that would just occasionally appear but it wasn't like it tasted very good-

[invisibilitea]

No! Nothing!

voice;

[humanistic]

All right.

[His tone is steady, not exasperated.]

All right, so we'll see if George has got some. You know how he is, always hiding stuff away so we don't get at it. Real spirit of community he's got there.
