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?

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.

[summonbeasts]

I haven't been here that long myself so no. I haven't seen any beside's the bone dragon. And certainly no dragon's milk can come from it.

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

[foolprove]

yeah, thankfully we can cross that one off the list of suspects. it's probably just a name then.

probably.

as for how good it is. it's kind of like. beggars can't be choosers. but...

[foolprove]

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







what

[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?

[foolprove]

yes

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

[yuezun]

[Was the translation magic not working?]

Coffee. What is it?

[afflatusexarch]

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

[summonbeasts]

But you do know the taste of much better coffee.

Perhaps you could look into brewing your own? I can't imagine the coffee itself is too rare with us being surrounded by nothing but ports of trade.

Hm, what local coffee have you tried so far?

[seemagicshit]

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

[ 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.

[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. ]

[foolprove]

yeah, EXACTLY.

[ she gets it. ]

someone else suggested the same thing. i'll go take a look at the shops, but... to be honest, i might need some bad coffee in the meantime.

[ listen it's embarrassing but caffeine withdrawal is REAL. ]

[foolprove]

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

it was. not good

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

[foolprove]

headache

tired

[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?

[summonbeasts]

[Her unheard laugh is in sympathy, honest.]

Oh I understand. France has become quite the bastion of cafés after all.
