This is also a London in which most tea is made of mushrooms. Not that any of us have to be reminded. Euch.

Well, that’s where you and I differ. You know, apart from the whole corrupt hypocrite starkiller associate thing, deep down?
I just really, really hate tea.
It’s so bitter and unfulfilling, like a halfhearted promise.[/quote][/li]
To be fair, I honestly thought the same thing for years and years. Turns out, I was just drinking terrible tea. Let’s forget this election and go tea tasting. I think you might like something a little sweeter like a jasmine or an oolong. If you get the right tea you don’t even need milk or sugar to make it taste proper.[/quote]

It’s probably just the english teas, really. Cold and bottled or hot and poured, I’ve no quarrel with chinese teas. But the idea that somewhere, it is considered normal to pour milk in your tea is slightly more alarming to me than the idea of striking a dark pact with eldritch sea urchins so you can flash fry their donated flesh at the village fete. Actually wait, I’m pretty sure that would be a proud folklore legend back in my hometown.[/li][li]

And this just baffles me, because thinking about it logically it’s one serving of cream away from being literal soup
Yeah, like… mushroom wines are a thing, but tea? I don’t think it works that way.
I assumed that London still imports tea from the Surface.
It’s a long journey, but not actually much longer than it was already (given where London is in relation to the Canal).
True, but I think the trip up the Canal is somewhat taxing. Also, the Unterzee is odd. Less so in the west, but even still, distances and durations can be tricky.
And I’m pretty sure mushroom teas are mentioned in multiple places, but the only one I can remember for sure at the moment is the deviless at Palmerston who invites you to a cup of armillaria tea.
I think it is mentioned once in the Waltz that moved the World as well. The traveller from the surface mentions how terrible the mushroom tea here is.
[quote=Anne Auclair][quote=Kukapetal]Haha, didn’t Chuffy have a stuffy aunt he was arguing with in a teahouse when you first met him?
Maybe that’s her :P[/quote]
Can someone get an echo?[/quote]

There’s the encounter. Sadly, there’s really nothing to suggest it’s her. But it’d be funny if it was :P
I…guess that there it is mushroom tea after all. https://www.reddit.com/r/tabled/comments/4firry/table_iama_were_failbetter_games_makers_of/
Uh.
Okay then
You’ll be forgiven a shudder or two.
Oh well, it’s not like I liked the other two candidates anyway.
I always drank my tea heavily sugared. Not because of a distaste for common tea, but because I have a terrible sweet tooth and at a certain point you just get too used to drinking it sugared to drink it normally.
But about a month ago I started drinking starmint and this stuff is so good I don’t have to sugar it anymore.
Starmint is some good stuff.

It’s probably quite filling. How do you think the DTC has the energy to keep up her brisk schedule of non-stop campaigning?[/li]

Ooh, perhaps she’d be willing to import some actual tea for London, that’d be a great platform!
I am afraid I can no longer give the campaigner my support, not until she finds another honey solution.
I will -under No circumstances- be supporting someone who plans to make the Neath’s first Well filled entirely with Prisoners Honey.
Shame.

It’s probably not even a literal well but just a metaphor for a dump.
She’s also not planning on doing this forever, this is just an interventive measure to keep the honey off the streets until she becomes mayor and can actually start illegalizing the non-regulated trade of honey.

Of course it’s a literal well. It probably has a bucket and everything :P
Can I chuck coins in there and make a wish?
So does anyone want to take a guess at what the DTC’s second week scandals will be? Like, with Feducci and the Detective’s are not hard to guess at. With Feducci’s scandals in particular it’s just a question of how outrageous they are, given the man is a blatant villain and obvious con artist. But the squeaky clean and fairly unknown DTC’s scandals are genuine mysteries.
This is my guess:
Fitting the "honey well" theme of the DTC’s benevolent intentions but on the fly execution causing complications for everyone, I suspect she’s been releasing all those dangerous "beasties" she frees from the Docks into Bugsby’s Marsh.
Huh, that’s a definite possibility.
I’m hoping FB doesn’t just recycle the “hijacked by Anarchists” scandal from last year, but we’ll see, won’t we?
