1. Green tea: Makes the drinker wiser. Bear in mind that wise doesn't necessarily mean smart.

2. Jasmine tea: Turns boys girly, turns girl girlier.

3. Earl Grey tea: Drinkers of this tea can't tell anything but the truth.

4. Lady Grey tea: Drinkers of this tea can't tell anything but the lies.

5. Strawberry tea: Causes uncontrollable hiccups.

6. Mint tea: Completely flip your personality. Good is bad, bad is good, etc.

7. Lemon tea: As opposed to flipping personalities, suddenly gain someone else's personality!

8. Cherry tea: Ever saw a blushing virgin right before being deflowered? The people that drink this tea will show you how it's done.

9. Chai tea: The uncontrollable need dance, wherever you go!

10. Oolong tea: The uncontrollable need to express everything in the form of a song! It might be a song you already know, or you might find you've got a hidden talent for lyrics!

11. Chocolate tea: WARNING! Keep away from underaged children. Aftereffects may include: horniness, uncontrollable lust, more horniness, the need to take off clothes, a hoarse sexy voice, sweaty skin. (for the underage, causes uncomfortable heat, and cheesy pickup lines)

12. Vanilla tea: Causes childish innocence, kindness, love of everything alive.

13. Caramel tea: Have a little respect for your four-legged friends. Turns the drinker into an animal of the mun's choosing.

14. Berry tea: Ever wondered what it was like to be the opposite gender? You didn't? Too bad! Turns boys to girls and vice versa, complete with all the appropriate parts.

15. Rose tea: For the love of all that is good and shoujo, will the drinkers of this tea stop sparkling so melodramatically?

16. English breakfast tea: Not only will the drinker be more arrogant, snobbish and better than you, but they will also voice it. Loudly. Narcissism is encouraged. So is slapping them back to their senses.

17. Chamomile tea: This tea will calm you down to the point of apathy and sloth. Don't bother leaving bed, it's not even worth it.

18. Daffodil tea: SUCH A CALM TEA AT FIRST SIGHT BUT WHAT ABOUT WHEN IT MAKES YOU TALK IN CAPSLOCK?

19. Thyme tea: Suddenly your clothes don't seem to fit so well... adult drinkers of this tea will be deaged to childhood. Child drinkers will be aged to adulthood.

20. Darjeeling tea: Causes the drinker to suffer severe delusions. They might just start to think they're the Queen of England, or a tree, or any number of things. I suggest you take videos for posterity and blackmail.

21. Black tea: Causes blindness.

22. Decaf tea: .. Sleep, who needs sleep?

23. White tea: Grants X-ray vision.

Re: Pretty much. Good thing there's a tree there.

"That doe-" She yawned lightly. "That doesn't h-help Kosi..." She sighs and looks up lazily at the tree.

Re: Pretty much. Good thing there's a tree there.

"You...said...hat. It is now...a hat. You can..." He turned on his side to face the girl, folding an arm under his head as he did. A long yawn escaped him, clearly showing all of his teeth.

He grabbed the end of the strand of grass and lifted it, "tip the hat like...a proper lady or...gentleman if you want. Don't care either way."

Re: Pretty much. Good thing there's a tree there.

[ronnae.livejournal.com]

She laughed happily and gave him a lazy smack on the shoulder. "Don't be dumb Kosi, you-" Yawwwwwnnnnn "You know what I meant..."

Re: Pretty much. Good thing there's a tree there.

[nokosi.livejournal.com]

"Technicalities...deem it a hat. If you don't like my fashion styling..." He lay his hand flat over the leaf, "There. New hat. Don' complain. You know what I miss but I could...do without?" A total change of subject, pretty much.

"Bein' long lived like...why's it elves live for so long but...they don't learn everything ever?"

Re: Pretty much. Good thing there's a tree there.

[ronnae.livejournal.com]

She looked at him before giving a light shrug. "Dunno, most elves are too busy being geno... xeno? Whatever... Something I don't really care about right now." She pats the side next to her for Fontaine to come over.

"Hey Kosi, you think we'll make it out fine?"

Re: Pretty much. Good thing there's a tree there.

[nokosi.livejournal.com]

"This place...? Hrm...ah...eh...I hope so. I want my crab and seagull back and besides...I'd be disappointed if we didn't. I live too long to wanna stay here alone," he added, quite unhelpfully.

"And I still...still..." he stretched his limbs, waiting for the satisfying 'pop' of his bones before settling down again. "I'm one-hundred...seventy-something. I still need to get someone to willingly kiss me 'fore I die. That guy didn't count." He added. It was obvious that he was caring about the things he said even less than usual. Oh my.

Re: Pretty much. Good thing there's a tree there.

[ronnae.livejournal.com]

She snickered. "Guy? You kissed a guy? Not that there's anything wrong really. But who?" She asked curiously, not knowing what awaited. Oh my indeed.

Re: Pretty much. Good thing there's a tree there.

[nokosi.livejournal.com]

He stared at her, unblinking for an incredibly long, if not awkward amount of time. After, he only brought his hands to his face and curled his thumbs and index fingers to form a circle then placed it against his face.

"It was...long. And with...lots of," he wiggled his tongue at her momentarily before his jaw slacked closed. "That."

Re: Pretty much. Good thing there's a tree there.

[ronnae.livejournal.com]

She blushed but laughed a bit. "Whoa, he was serious about it. So how was it?!" She asked excitedly, afterall his friend had made out with someone!

Re: Pretty much. Good thing there's a tree there.

[nokosi.livejournal.com]

Somehow he gathered the energy to shrug his shoulder, "The physical aspect of it wuz...nice, as forced as it wuz for 'im. I didn' really have a praw-blem," he said, too lazy to properly pronounce his words.

"Least I wasn' drunk at the time," he added, closing his eyes.

Re: Pretty much. Good thing there's a tree there.

[ronnae.livejournal.com]

She laughed, "Yeah we all know what happens when you're drunk." She relaxes back and closes her eyes, enjoying the leisurely time. "At least you enjoyed it, sort of right?"

[nokosi.livejournal.com]

"You could say that," he murmured. "He was a..." he went silent for a long moment and it appeared that he'd fallen asleep. "Good kisser," Nokosi finally said. "Havin' a tongue down your throat is an odd sensation, though. I suppose until you're used to it, hm?"

[ronnae.livejournal.com]

"Wh-what?! N-no I'm not! We-well I don't mind it but it's not like I'm out making out with everyone I see Nokosi!" She looked flustered but too lazy to move that way.

[nokosi.livejournal.com]

Nokosi couldn't help but laugh despite the sluggish feeling. He curled an arm around his midsection, eyes closed in mirth. When the laughter finally died down to the occasional snort, his eyes opened to slits and he focused his gaze on the girl.

"I didn't say you, Ronnae. "You're" was meant in general. Until 'one' is used to it, I should have said, I guess. I didn't know my Common was still that bad." The lazy elf simply laughed again, though it was interrupted with a yawn.

"Obviously. I know you don't. You could never be that way."

[ronnae.livejournal.com]

Ronnae puffed her cheeks in protest with a 'Hrmph'. She crossed her arms and giggled afterward. She cuddled up to Nokosi and smacked him lightly on the chest. "You're fine, you just have to keep practicing, which reminds me. You haven't been coming over for your lessons. Having fun exploring the city?" She asked in a bit of a yawn, laying her head on his chest.

[nokosi.livejournal.com]

Practice? Who was he going to 'practice' on? Nehaalista would uppercut him for even suggesting it. And it would probably, certainly, MOST LIKELY be a terribly idea to practice with her boyfriend. Ugh. Too much thought for him. Instead he opened one eye and glanced away from the Orc.

"Um...lessons?" He asked, feigning ignorance. "The city...well, yes and no. But it's something to do." He would put an arm around her, but did he really have the strength to do so?

[ronnae.livejournal.com]

"Yes lessons. Don't you think you're getting away from your reading and writing lessons mister." She giggles and yawned. "I like exploring it. It's much different."

[nokosi.livejournal.com]

"Urgh..." he grumbled. "I don't want to," he stated, firmly, attempting and failing to cross his arms to cement the point.

"I don't need to and you can't make me." He wasn't often unreasonable, but when he was it was usually for no good reason.

[ronnae.livejournal.com]

"Fine. Then you'll never find out what the goblin and the gnome are doing in your favorite book." She teased him playfully.

[nokosi.livejournal.com]

"I...they're fighting, obviously," he reasoned, though he couldn't bothered to raise his voice. "I'll just...get Billy to read it for me," he nodded s l o w l y, thinking he had won.

Obviously he'd never tried arguing with one of the women in the Oliviera family.

[ronnae.livejournal.com]

"Who do you think he'll listen to? I'll tell him it's private, and that you're not supposed to know. What then hm?" She grinned up playfully at him, rolling on her stomach to do so.

[nokosi.livejournal.com]

Tricky girl...but he was actually gaining the energy to 'fight'.

"I'll tell him that you're just saying it to get to me but you're really okay with me knowing as long as I read some of it myself. I'm sure he'll listen to my request and finish reading it to me. We ARE friends and all."

No, Nokosi...just no. You don't have the same pull a cute, buxom girlfriend has, so quit while you're ahead. Which you never were.

[ronnae.livejournal.com]

"You'd ... go against my wishes Kosi." Lip quivering. "When all I want is for you to learn to read and write?" Wide teal glossy eyes. "I... I thought you wanted this Kosi... I..." Single tear running down. "It's... alright... you can get him to read it to you then..." She rolled off him and pulled Fontaine into a hug.

[nokosi.livejournal.com]

Damn those Oliviera women!

He didn't really feel it was necessary to learn at the moment and when he didn't want to do something he just...left it to be. The elf seemed unmoved.

"Wow. I didn't know you could be such an ass, Nokosi. I don't know whether to be proud or chomp the hell out of your arm.

"Huh? Why would you say that? I didn't do anything."

"You should be trying to learn instead of sitting on your illiterate ass!"

"Oh, please." He sat up now, his arms crossed. "Like you can read any better than I can, Fontaine."

"I can understand more than you. Not that I need to because I'm a damn wolf. You, on the other hand are a humanoid. Who interacts with other humanoids. It seems kind of necessary."

Nokosi waved a hand, unconvinced. "If it were that necessary I would have done it long ago. I've gotten on just fine without it."

"Yeah, you've gotten on nowhere just fine. I mean, look at her boyfriend. Kind, understanding and exceedingly smart." It annoyed him to admit it but it was true. "So much so he's the head of the engineering department."

"Yes. So?" The point, dog. He failed to see it.

"So?" Fontaine was going to be mean, but he knew he always had to when his idiot of a 'brother' was behaving like this.

"How long were you pining after her? A year? Maybe a bit more? He did what you tried to do in less than two weeks. Not that I'm surprised, mind you. Who would want to be with a dipshit elf like you who has less education than a Stormwind child and who ignores a crying friend when they're just trying to help said dipshit elf?" the wolf ranted.

His eyes widened slightly and his arms dropped to the side, limply. "...Wow, Fontaine. That...that actually hurt."

"It should. That's how you made her feel. Now stop being dumb and apologize before you lose your friend." He was blowing things far out of proportion, but god help him if he lost one of his few friends, he was going to rip that elf a new orifice.

Whoops. He hadn't realized he'd made her feel so bad.

He nodded mutely before poking the melancholy Orc on the nose to get her attention. "Ah...Don't get like that, Ronnae. I've just been lazy," he admitted, laughing. "I'll learn; promise," he said, smiling assuredly.

"Good," Fontaine commented, yawning loudly. Sometimes his friend just need a kick start to get to the place he needed to. Like one to the jewels; efficient, painful, got the point across and most of all, a feeling that you never quite forgot. Damn, he was good.

[ronnae.livejournal.com]

Ronnae hugged fontaine lovingly and kissed his nose. "Thanks, it's for your own good Kosi, it really is. Actually it's more for your enjoyment. I love reading to you, you know that. But there'll be times when you'll want to know what something says or write a letter or a story. And I might be at war or off somewhere. I want you to be safe, and able to handle yourself."

She pulls him down and gave him a friendly kiss on the lips. "So, since you promised, I don't have to worry about anything. Just let me know when you want to continue your lessons okay?"
