[Komui's sitting in a small hollow, his back to a large tree, clutching one of his overly-large drills. There's a plant by him which he occasionally pokes with his foot, causing it to glow

Have you met up with Lenalee yet?

[white_beret]

I'm a liability to someone with her skills, so I'm letting her explore a bit and stretch her wings.

Is there something I should know?

[slug_sannin]

Nothing specific, but she's new to this kind of situation.

[white_beret]

In a situation like this? I trust her to look out for herself. She's grown up hunting monsters in human skins and she's got better sense than me about dangers in the environment.

Of course, I'm not going to let her out exploring for too long before calling her back. She's not obliged to destroy the monsters here, so I'll be selfish and see her often.

[anti_gnosis]

Please proceed with caution when approaching the teapots.

[white_beret]

KOS-MOS! [Immediate sparkles for the wonderful robot lady]

Are their contents hot, or are they attacking people?

[anti_gnosis]

Greetings, Komui.

The latter. Unidentified lifeforms residing in the teapots appear to be hostile and dangerous. I do not recommend interaction with them.

[white_beret]

Well, I think I'll avoid them as much as I can...

Unless they're guarding coffee. I might have to go poke a bit to check.

[Jason's got his red hood get up on, thus his voice is just a little muffled and metallic sounding.]

You're in a Lewis Carroll fanatic's wet dream and you're looking for coffee? Go and hit up some giant caterpillar and get some opiates at least.

[white_beret]

[Komui's seriously considering that. How long will the emergency supply in pocket last?]

A man has to have his priorities, Mr ominious red mask.

[undeadsidekick]

Red Hood.

Right, so coffee then the harder stuff. Question, though. Is the coffee think out of want for caffeine or do you just like the taste?

[video]

[white_beret]

It looks more like a balaclava than a hood.

And coffee is to bring out the full flow of my genius. It's a magical, beautiful substance.

[mydarkresolve]

Komui! How are you doing so far?

...You really are asking for coffee? [She sounds mildly surprised] In this place?

Ah--I wouldn't go near those teapots. At least, too near, anyway. There were those monsters around the chinawear...Just--Be careful?!

[white_beret]

I'm doing fine. I've found a nice little place to hole up, though I am going to have to wander off and find somewhere with a bed soon enough.

The coffee is absolutely necessary. However, the charming KOS-MOS has offered to find some for me. She's a lovely woman.

How is your exploration going? What sort of dangers have you seen?

[mydarkresolve]

Oh. I'm glad! As long as you stay safe.

Huh? Who...?

[Cue in sheepish laugh] They were going fine. I mean, the iced over place isn't all that dangerous... The creatures here are pretty violent. [A reassuring smile quickly] Nothing to worry about though! I think I'll be heading out to another area soon, deeper into this place.

I-I'll do that as soon as--I figure out where I took the wrong turn...

[white_beret]

You're lost? Lenalee! Fly back along the tracks! It looks like we need a Finder with you.

[Full on SPARKLE MODE]

KOS-MOS is a robot. She's amazing, Lenalee, so perfectly made.

[kanda_exorcist]

This place looks too... weird to be safe. You should find one of us.

[white_beret]

Lenalee's going to come back once she's done exploring. I've decided my best option is to stay put until everyone else has had their fun, so I know what areas to avoid.

[kanda_exorcist]

[He nods.] Probably the safest route.

[white_beret]

I'm capable of common sense occasionally. Let me know how tough the creatures you encounter turn out to be.
