Soldier on

[stopwatchesandcoffee]

Not usually much for these, but I have something of a business poll if you would. Answer it and you can have a cup of coffee on the house. Regardless of which way you answer.

Do you actually enjoy Starbox coffee or do you go for the convenience?
Would you go somewhere else if there were other options?

[Private - Tim]
I know you keep pretty busy, with school, your life and such. But I'll ask anyway.

How do you feel about management.

[Private - Aisling]
Fairly certain Jack thinks I am going to fall apart. How would you like to help me out? I was thinking the three of us could have a picnic if the weather holds. I found some flower seeds in the shop, think you might like them. They're a very nice blue.

[Private - Jack]
Just closed the Cafe for the night. Meet me outside.

[Private - Gwen]
How busy are you, tomorrow?

It has its perks.

[badnewsboy]

I've heard you put your pinky up in such occasions.

[sasstastic]

Some people do. A misinterpretation of "proper" etiquette that came about in the 11th century.

[badnewsboy]

And what if I decide not to? Would I be branded a rebel?

[sasstastic]

Would it matter?

[badnewsboy]

I wish to understand the predicament I'm getting myself into by pointedly not following proper etiquette for the drinking of tea.

[sasstastic]

I just said, it's not proper etiquette. Or wasn't, originally.

Do you really want a lecture on the History of afternoon tea?

[badnewsboy]

I do prefer coffee.

[sasstastic]

There you go. Less complicated.

[badnewsboy]

Do you have coffee in your box?

[sasstastic]

I don't know.

... probably, somewhere in a storage room.

[badnewsboy]

That is a travesty.

[sasstastic]

I'd invite you to look for it, but I'm currently box-less.

[badnewsboy]

And who is the current proprietor of your box?

[sasstastic]

The future versions of me have one each.

[badnewsboy]

And have left you empty handed.

[sasstastic]

Nah, it's fair. Shouldn't even be here, technically.

[badnewsboy]

It may not even work.

[sasstastic]

The TARDIS always works.

[badnewsboy]

Then why are they still here?

[sasstastic]

Something is stopping it from leaving, obviously.

[badnewsboy]

That would be a prime example of "not-working."

[sasstastic]

If you get tied to a tree it doesn't mean you can't walk. It means you're tied to a tree.

[badnewsboy]

Would you like to play a game of semantics?

If you are tied to a tree your efforts do not work. It lies within the realm of not-working. The rest is implied.

[badnewsboy]

And you are still here! I have no coffee!

A moot point.
