Dear Current and Hopefully Future Patrons of the Golden Turtle,

I was recently introduced to the wonderful event known as a tea party. Being so delighted by it, I decided to host one of my own!

THE GOLDEN TURTLE TEA PARTY

I realize that there are many issues at hand within the city of Paixao, but we must remember to tend to our families and friends as

Hey, I haven't seen you in ages! You made really good tea last time we met!

[whitelotustea]

Miss Bei Fong, it is always good to hear from you. I hope you were not subject to the many events lately.

[blindearthgirl]

You mean I've been missing out on stuff?! I've been so bored, and there's stuff going on?!

[whitelotustea]

This is "stuff" you may wish to miss out on.

[tenshinomakai]

Sounds like just what I needed.

[whitelotustea]

The competitive game or the tea party?

[tenshinomakai]

Both!

[whitelotustea]

I hope you will not take pity on me when we play. I am a fierce devotee to the art of Pai Sho.

As for the tea party, I will wait for your arrival most anxiously.

[shout_geronimo]

Brilliant! I love tea! And Pai Sho, never played that one before. I'll definitely be there!

[whitelotustea]

[pause just after the "I love tea" statement] And now the reason why I already find steadfast trust in you. I promise there will be plenty of tea for you, sir.

There are also other games if you wish to socialize over a set of cards instead of a set of tiles.

[shout_geronimo]

[good-natured laugh] Oh, don't call me "sir". The Doctor will do.

Actually, I'd love to learn a new game.

[whitelotustea]

Oh Doctor! I had not recognized you. I understand there are two versions of yourself running round, and while I do not yet understand how, I welcome both of you. I must ask though, how will I tell the difference?

[olivebranching]

Oh! How nice...

[whitelotustea]

Would you be able to attend?

[olivebranching]

I will certainly do my best, kind sir. How thoughtful of you, to help the residents...

[whitelotustea]

I do what I may. I also know how much help tea can provide.

[finalfayth]

Paixao's a game...?

[whitelotustea]

I was speaking of games that fit onto tabletops, but if you feel that way, you can part yourself from the roll of the dice out there to enjoy a relaxing time here.

[finalfayth]

( sorry iroh, this is going over his head... ) ... Huh? I mean, I guess takin' a breather wouldn't be so bad...

[whitelotustea]

That's the spirit!
