Do you mean to tell me there are no suitable cafés in Eltrut? The Dragon's Milk serves coffee I think, though how good it might be is debatable.

[foolprove]

i haven't tried that one, i'll give it a go.

do they really use dragon's milk in it?

[ listen. who knows. ]

[summonbeasts]

I had never considered that possibility. I would hope not.

[Something about the idea of dragon's milk is just ...]

Have you seen a dragon here yet? Besides the Corsair's base that is.

[foolprove]

[ YEAH... YEAH. ]

i'll so some reconnaissance. i don't usually put milk in my coffee, but i'll do it for the sake of science.

[ or something. ]

nah, i haven't been here that long. have you? are there a bunch?

What is coffee?

[foolprove]

[ it takes. a minute for this text to come through. ]







what

[yuezun]

[Was the translation magic not working?]

Coffee. What is it?

[foolprove]

[ this is SO SAD. ren is SO SAD for him. ]

the nectar of the gods

[ he answers, VERY SERIOUSLY, before realizing he should give an actual explanation. ]

it's a drink made from the beans of a coffee cherry. it's bitter, delicious, and full of caffeine.

There are a number of establishments that do sell it, though I've yet to determine which is the best. Fortunately, it's entirely possible to obtain the necessities for making one's own, if you're quite particular about your morning brew.

[foolprove]

none of them stand out as being even a little better?

i might need the change this from "best" to "closest."

i wouldn't say i'm particular [ he totally is ] but i do actually prefer to make it myself. any ideas on where i might find that?

[netherese]

One surely will, but there's considerable research that must be done to determine such a thing! Repeated visits, for one. Consistency is very important if one is to make an accurate claim.

[Nerd.]

There are shops in port that specialize in all manner of things, and I'm certain I saw at least one dedicated to kitchenware. That seems like an excellent place to start. I could use a kettle, myself.

[foolprove]

research...

[ it's not that he's wrong, it's just. that sounds like a lot of work. MAN... nerdiness or not, it has validity. ]

kettle? for coffee or tea?

[seemagicshit]

Why, you gonna tap out if you can't find any coffee?

[foolprove]

yes

[ he doesn't have enough caffeine in his veins to lie... ]

[seemagicshit]

Are you getting the shakes? Seeing double? Losing your will to live? Shit like that?

[foolprove]

headache

tired

You know... It has been a considerable amount of time since I've had coffee.

[foolprove]

finally, someone who understands it's value.

don't you feel the need to have some? right now> including... testing it... and it's quality... for the sake of others?

[ if he could send an emote portraying an accurate eyebrow waggle, he would. ]

[afflatusexarch]

Now my good ser. Certainly you are not suggesting that I volunteer my services for testing, now are you?

[lucky_e]

Hm, what local coffee have you tried so far?

[foolprove]

they gave me some when i first got here, but. uh

it was. not good

it was somehow burnt... AND watery?????

[lucky_e]

Aha! Yes, I suppose that is usually the case if you're on a ship currently away from port. Still, I thought it was better than what you might get on most vessels.

But given that you're in a port town now, I imagine, you should be able to find a wide range of different coffee more to your liking. You might want to try down by the harbor and see what the local shops there have first.

There are a few different coffee shops on the different islands. Eltrut tends to use pourover styles, but Elah goes for French press or espresso drinks more often than not. I haven't had coffee on the other islands yet, but I'm sure they do too.

[... Meaning yes, this is a Paladin speaking.]

[foolprove]

pourover styles!

[ NICE, finally some information he can totally use. ]

that's the one, then. i'll head there to find somewhere it's already made and then begin my sacred journey to find my own to make. thanks

i don't know how smart it would be to go to Elah just for coffee. could be exciting i guess

[ meaning... yeah, a corsair right back! ]

[ricebird]

[Ah... no judgment here, honestly most of the Corsairs she's met so far have been really nice.]

True. It's a shame the two places don't get along more. There's elements of both in Eltrut cuisine at least, even if it has its own culture.
