Video/Action at Teanie Teas

[innocent_royal]

[Video]

[Anastasia appears on the network, looking upset about something. She wasn't in her usual spot. In fact, it looks like Teanie Teas.]

"...Has anyone ever had a intense feeling of dread for what seems to be no reason? Is there a way to figure out if there is a reason?"

[Action]

[Anastasia was sitting alone at a table at Teanie Teas, still looking as melancholy as she did in her broadcast. She has not yet ordered anything. She was too busy thinking about the dread she feels, and she only had recently arrived.]

Now that he had more time, Ted got back into his routine of weekly visits to TT. The current puzzle was giving him trouble, like usual. It took some time before he noticed Anastasia. "Ah, hello! Fancy seeing you here. I didn't fancy you a fellow patron." It took a few moments more to notice her distress.

"Ah...is something the matter?"

[innocent_royal]

[Anastasia came out of her deep thought when Ted appeared. She waited and listened to him speak until he was done.]

"I just...have this unbearable feeling of dread. Like I'm doing something wrong or something bad is about to happen..."

[youfool]

Oh, you girls and your half-baked hysterics. When will they learn?

"That's...strange. A bit indefinite. I don't suppose you're a prophetess or something? What do you suppose it might be?"

[innocent_royal]

"A prophetess? No... I don't know what it could mean. It could mean anything, or it can mean nothing."

[youfool]

Ted's more of an "anything" than "nothing" kind of guy.

"Huh. Well, it's either a useful feeling or a useless one. And as you disavow any claims of being a seer or mystic, it sounds like the latter. I wonder...does it burden you unduly?"

Action!

[Do you know what happens when you look glum at Teanie Teas? The proprietor of the establishment brings a cup of tea over, on the house. He guesses based on either previous orders or appearances, and is right most of the time.

Luke is still a little worse for wear since being kidnapped into the shadow world, but he's happy enough to be back at the tea shop just the same. Careful actions make him look meticulous instead of awkward and uncomfortable, and he can settle for that--it's enough.

He sets a cup on the table, tilting his head.]

Miss Anastasia?

Action!

[innocent_royal]

[Anastasia was somewhat startled by the sudden clinking of the cup of tea, then saw Luke when he called her name.]

"Oh... Hi, Luke. I'm sorry if I was just sitting here without ordering anything."

Re: Action!

[lookprofessor]

That's okay. Are you--um, are you all right? You look rather sad today.

[He carefully pushes the cup closer to her before pulling out a chair and settling in it, concern on his face.]

Re: Action!

[innocent_royal]

[She didn't feel like drinking at the moment, but for the sake of being polite, she would take the cup and take a small sip before answering the question.]

"...I've been feeling very restless lately. An unbearable feeling of dread. I thought leaving my sub-archway would help me figure out what's causing it, but even now, I still feel the dread."

Is something wrong?

[Video]

[innocent_royal]

"Ever since your birthday, Sakura, I've had this growing feeling of dread. It was making me restless. I'm trying to figure out what may be causing it, but nothing so far."

[Video]

[spitfireprincess]

Since my birthday? [Sakura bites her lower lip trying to think of what it might be.] What has changed since then?

[Video]

[innocent_royal]

"That's the thing. Nothing seems to have changed. I just have a very bad feeling about something."

[Belle at times rather enjoy coming to Teanie Teas for the tea and the puzzles. It was one of the greater ways to relax for her when not reading a book. As she walked in, she went to find a seat before looking around. There at least appeared to be someone else there, but she didn't seem to be happy and they appeared young.]

You okay?

[The 13 year old girl looked over to the other person when she heard the question.]

"...I just have this feeling of dread. I've been having it for awhile now."

action;

[namemeansbeauty]

Really? You mean like something big is about to happen or something?

[She didn't having that feeling herself, but she didn't believe it wasn't something people felt.]

[innocent_royal]

"I don't know... My people can be quite perceptive, but... no, I don't think me or anywhere is in any danger."

[truesmiles]

I must admit, I've not really had that feeling before. But maybe there is always something to it.

[innocent_royal]

"...Do you know of any ways to try and figure out what may be causing it?"

[truesmiles]

[He tapped his finger lightly on his chin, thinking about it.]

I guess the best thing if to figure out what is causing it. Like think of what could possible happen and see what you react to, maybe.

[innocent_royal]

[The little princess is having trouble wrapping her head around this.]

"There are a lot of things... I don't know if I can react naturally if I know the scenario is fake."

[xuwu]

No, but I've caused it on occasions.

[innocent_royal]

[She has a very unsure look on her face.]

"...I don't know if that means you can detect what causes feelings of dread or not... Besides you, yourself, of course."

[xuwu]

I could, possibly, but I have never bothered to try.

[innocent_royal]

"Were you thinking of trying?"
