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 much as we tend to our gardens. Come to the Golden Turtle and relax your nerves from stress. I have a collection of games available in the shop. I may even extend a challenging game of Pai Sho against any patrons. There may yet be a prize!

I hope to see you there!
Iroh

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

[whitelotustea.livejournal.com]

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

[blindearthgirl.livejournal.com]

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

[tenshinomakai.livejournal.com]

Sounds like just what I needed.

[whitelotustea.livejournal.com]

The competitive game or the tea party?

[tenshinomakai.livejournal.com]

Both!

[shout-geronimo.livejournal.com]

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

[whitelotustea.livejournal.com]

[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.

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

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

[olivebranching.livejournal.com]

Oh! How nice...

[whitelotustea.livejournal.com]

Would you be able to attend?

[olivebranching.livejournal.com]

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

[finalfayth.livejournal.com]

Paixao's a game...?

[whitelotustea.livejournal.com]

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.livejournal.com]

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

[therightcurves.livejournal.com]

That offer still open?

[whitelotustea.livejournal.com]

For you, it is open at anytime.

[therightcurves.livejournal.com]

I'll drop by later then. Thanks.

YOU'RE HAVING A TEA PARTY? AND I'M INVITED??

Wonnnnnderful! What type of tea are you having?

[whitelotustea.livejournal.com]

I am so delighted to see someone sharing my excitement for tea.

I have many varieties for all tastes and occasions. Do you have a preference?

[inthistyle.livejournal.com]

Oh I do! I do!

Tea parties are always a delight!

Oh let's see, anything fruity and sweet, as long as you have that we're in good hands!

I've been meaning to stop by your shop again for more of your excellent tea.

[whitelotustea.livejournal.com]

You are most welcome to!

[violet-diva.livejournal.com]

Well, that does sound lovely.

I suppose I can stop by this party of yours, Iroh.

[whitelotustea.livejournal.com]

Please do, Yzma. I cannot imagine you would pass up on a party.
