• They drink it.
• Both characters discover the horrifying effect of the tea below the cut.

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.

Chases Parked Cars offers a couple of cups. "Hey. Was gonna bring whiskey to celebrate the impending... whatever the fuck it is. Well, probably not worth celebrating, but fuck it... whiskey. Said they don't have any - but they have tea."

[futureisclear.livejournal.com]

"...I prefer tea to hard liquor in any case."

Ildraniath extends a dexterous looking, pale hand and eyes Chases expectantly.

"..."

Go figure. First person he meets, and they're a stuffy tea drinker of some sort.

He sighs and pours the tea and hands over one steaming cup.

"Adam Chase. Just Chase is fine."

[futureisclear.livejournal.com]

She's not opposed to liquor, she just enjoys refinement. She's also an alien, in case the rather angular features (http://images.wikia.com/warhammer40k/images/3/36/Eldar.jpg) and pointy ears didn't give her away. She accepts the cup with both hands and nods coolly.

"Ildraniath."

She lifts the cup and blows on the tea to cool it."

[j-y-d.livejournal.com]

He sets his oversized maul aside, with a heavy *thump*, and settles in more comfortably. While by all indications human, he's both bigger than most, and something seems, perhaps, a touch 'off' to the rarified eldar senses.

"Good to meet'cha."

[futureisclear.livejournal.com]

"Thank you," she replies - and perhaps rather pointedly, doesn't respond in kind. She doesn't like most humans. It's nothing personal, though. She takes a slow sip from her cup and then cradles it in her hands.

"You're not all that you appear, are you?"

[j-y-d.livejournal.com]

He's not nearly so subtle. Hot or no, he tosses back a quick drink, contemplating the creamy chai texture a moment. Idly, the fingers of his off hand begin drumming on the table, setting a steady beat. He doesn't seem to notice.

"Me? I'm like a damned Transformer, more than meets the eye."

[futureisclear.livejournal.com]

Unconsciously, she finds one of her much more delicate hands on the table, joing his in setting a beat. She doesn't notice it at first.

"...I see."

She arches one eyebrow, "Perhaps you'll deign to explain it to me."

[j-y-d.livejournal.com]

He starts to shift in his seat, bobbing his head in time with the unheard music, hand drumming a little more steadily.

"Well, see, without my pants..." he pauses, then sighs. "And you probably either have no sense of humor, or just watch the pointy-eared equivalent of Dennis Miller, right?"

He pauses again, grooving along a little more. "Werewolf." he finally responds, in more direct than typical answer.

[futureisclear.livejournal.com]

Her foot is tapping in silent time as she studies him intently. So much like the mon-keigh she'd encountered. So crude. So primitive.

"...I have a sense of humor, but it is probably more refined than you are used to."

Werewolf earns a frown and she's about to ask what a werewolf is when she finally catches herself shifting in her seat. She tries to still herself - she has immense self-discipline after all, it shouldn't be hard-

Well, that's not working.

[j-y-d.livejournal.com]

Despite all appearances, the scruffy, loud mouthed, foul mouthed, uneducated tavern brawler has a will of iron when he wants to... and when it doesn't involve women. But he also actually kind of likes dancing.

As such, there's not much resistance when he starts bopping along to the beat more obviously, starting to push up from his seat.

"Refined, huh? I'd say, looking at you, you shake your skinny little elfbutt just fine."

[futureisclear.livejournal.com]

She tries to get herself to sit still. She's been seeing into the future for decades, centuries even, meditated countless times, all without twitching so much as a little finger and now she can't stop herself. She scrambles upright, swaying back and forth.

The expression on her face is rather sour, however, despite the rather elegant and dexterous dance she finds herself falling into.

"What did you just call me, ape?"

[j-y-d.livejournal.com]

Despite his size, he's a lot quicker and more graceful than he should be, moving in time with the pretend music with the practiced ease of a lot of nights clubbing with the wife and her girlfriends.

"What, skinny? Don't worry about it. Some guys like the whole athletic chick thing."

[futureisclear.livejournal.com]

"I..." She begins, feet moving in an elaborate pattern, her whole body beginning to move in a very smooth, fluid dance. "...I am not 'elfbutt'. I am an Eldar."

[j-y-d.livejournal.com]

"I don't care how old you are, elfbutt, for a MILF or GMILF or whatever you are in elf years, you got it going on." he replies, not quite as fluid as the eldar, but ridiculously graceful at his size, and well acquainted with club dancing.

[futureisclear.livejournal.com]

"I have a name," There's a snap of command in her voice, despite the dancing she simply cannot stop, along with a trace of cold anger. "Use it. Your advances are ill-founded and unwanted."

[j-y-d.livejournal.com]

"Jesus Christ on a pogo stick, lady. You think I'm coming onto you? You are so... so not my type. Not with the stick still in, anyway. I'm just saying, you can dance baby. Never would have guessed it."

[futureisclear.livejournal.com]

"All Eldar are elegant and graceful - it matters not what path we tread on." She sounds slightly put out. "And I would not put suggesting some sort of crude... relationship... past one of you mon-keigh."

She huffs and manages to get her arms down for a moment - and then she twists and twirls into another graceful dance movement.

[j-y-d.livejournal.com]

He can't help baiting her. This is way too much fun. He dances and spins, playing off her movements, almost dancing with her, though just out of arm's reach, now that he has her style down a little.

"No, no... see, you've got me all wrong there. I am totally down with crude and meaningless relationships. That's, like... Friday nights. I just don't want to have one with you. You're not my type."

[futureisclear.livejournal.com]

"Good. Because if you had suggested one, I would've fried the lump that passes for a brain amongst your people." She probably means it too. Her voice hasn't raised at all, but her tone has become chillier and chillier. Not happy.

[j-y-d.livejournal.com]

"And here I thought you were just warming up to me." His tone, in turn, has barely changed. None too worried by all indications, and having fun with the situation, awkward as it would seem.
