[Open] Let them drink tea

Who: Peach and YOU
What: Did somebody say TEA PARTY? No? Well *I* heard it. Come drink tea and chat!
Where: The dining area
When: February 1
Warnings: C for CUTE

Winter months were always dreary, especially if it meant being stuck inside to get away from the cold. Sure, some might not mind it, but others did. Luckily, there was someone around. Someone who had made it her mission to get people to smile and be happy.

That someone was Princess Peach.

Maybe you'd come for a snack, maybe you just wanted a quiet place to eat and read. Regardless, when you entered the dining hall, Peach was there, decked out in her finest, and she'd commandeered the space. There was pink everywhere. Ribbons, tablecloths, curtains, you name it. She was brewing pots of tea in elegant china, and she had plenty of blends to choose from. Plates were filled with cookies and cakes, that she'd spent hours baking herself. "Welcome!" she would greet people with a smile. "Please, come and have a seat! The party's just starting!"

Cyrus obeyed her offer, but stared at the far wall. "...This place..." he murmured, lost in thought."

That seemed to snap him back. "Orange pekoe, please." He wasn't sure why, and started pondering the nature of such things. "...such things are highly subjective. That one should create greater serotonin production when a similar taste should not, all flowing, all individual...it is curious, isn't it?"
will_be_god: (Hear me for I impart the truth)

"Which itself is curious," he continued. "We, regardless of origin or, in this place, species, have similar brain chemistry. And yet those things cannot be quantified. There is something in them that prevents us from understanding them, and that itself cannot be understood, at least under current scientific ability..."

"Enjoy..." He mulled over the word softly before taking a sip.
will_be_god: (Powers beyond even my imagination)

[personal profile] will_be_god 2017-04-02 10:17 pm (UTC)(link)
The concept of enjoyment was unnecessary, wasn't it? It had to be.

"The taste is...good." A simple word but the only one he could think of.

Enjoyment was necessary. That was the difficult part, because it shouldn't be.

He supposed it couldn't hurt. He needed energy for his later walk, after all. "I will try both but in small amounts."

"I will reserve these for later," he muttered as he wrapped the cookies in a napkin and slipped them into his jacket. "As for the present..."

The way Cyrus tasted the cakes was a process that could be defined only as elaborate. Taking a small piece from the end of one, he sniffed at it, took it on his tongue, let it sit on the tip, moved it slightly back, pushed it against the roof of his mouth, and finally swallowed it, only to repeat the process with the other piece.

"Hm. I prefer the lemon cake, although the carrot cake has more nutritional value."

He stared down at the plate, thinking. "I would prefer to remain with the tea, if you could demonstrate a different variety," he decided.

Health and prosperity, he remembered.

"Citrus, usually. Although I cannot keep with it. Something mild must be used to keep us alert to those changes."

He seemed to recall having that conversation years ago with a lower agent, before he had begun stocking the break room refrigerator with the everpresent energy drinks.

He nodded in reply, but sat silently and watched the tea spread itself through the water. The change was simple--the mixture was added, but it just sat there, making no action of its own but changing everything around it. There was something deeply philosophical about that.

Finally he broke the silence, not knowing how much time had passed. "As with everything, the influence of doing nothing spreads."

"I...ought not to." The words were slow and cautious. "Yet it gives me time to think."

"You're a ruler of the people, yes?" He sighed deeply. "What do you believe is paramount to you? To them? Are they the same?"

"And what benefit does that grant? Happiness turns us away from the wider world, and we come to ignore its ills." A bit of weariness crept into his usually emotionless voice.
