One Of These Is A Lie

They invited me, but if I hadn't said yes they wouldn't have pressed it. It's also a bit...well, where we were living, it wasn't all that uncommon for people to be open about that sort of thing.

I got very lucky with them.

Hot cocoa is always best when prepared by a friend. Does this coffee shop sell the ingredients to make it for oneself?

[deathstouch]

I am not judging.

[vexy]

you'll get there

[remarkablymodest]

I have always been more a fan of tea, I must admit.
But maybe someday here I will have the chance to try coffee.

Something akin to an Orchestrion and Orchestrion Rolls then.
Not quite the same, but it sounds like the have a similar effect.
They are rather recent inventions to come to Erozea.

[bratpack]

yeah i've had that happen too but normally it just means i'm high

you didn't precog about this place, did you?

[tangleofgarlands]

I didn't dream about it, no, if that's what you mean.
It wasn't really premonitions so much as me having an active imagination and spending a lot of time fantasizing about a celebrity I ended up meeting.

[tangleofgarlands]

I think you're overestimating my ability to make friends.

[vexy]

if an arse like me can make friends, you'll be fine

or die alone, that's a possibility too?

[bratpack]

oh dude, that's actually awesome. and lucky
who was he like a rock star??

[tangleofgarlands]

Yes, actually. Got it in one, I'm impressed.
His name is Curt Wild and he's one of the greatest rock stars of the mid-70s.

[tangleofgarlands]

Maybe I don't know you that well,
but I don't think you're that much of an arse.

Thanks for the vote of confidence, though.

[tangleofgarlands]

Coffee is a lot stronger, both in taste and in caffeine content, which is why I prefer it. I could understand--if you'll pardon the pun--if it's not your cup of tea, though. It's something people seem to feel strongly about, one way or the other.

I do know of a cafe that brews a good espresso, actually, and steamed milk does cut down the bitterness somewhat.

I've never heard of Erozea, but records have been around for a while in the UK.

How's the sound on an orchestrion roll?

[tangleofgarlands]

I don't think so, but I'm sure you could find somewhere that does. It's not that hard, if I remember correctly.

[tangleofgarlands]

It's alright.
Even if you were, I'd understand. It was a strange experience.

[bratpack]

man, i wasn't even alive then
that's so cool.

he wasn't involved in the four way, was he?

[tangleofgarlands]

Really?
To be honest, it's a bit weird, talking to people who are around my age but also young enough to be my children.

And, no.
I mean.
I did sleep with him, but it was just the two of us, and it was a couple of years later.

[bratpack]

so like
what year is it where you're from? is it like the eighties or something? like pre-millennium

that's so weird to think about
i mean i know we're in different worlds so it shouldn't be but
dude.

also i'm jelly of your fantasy boning. that is a W for you, man, damn.

[remarkablymodest]

I am willing to at least give it a try.
I do like my tea sweet, however, so the bolder flavor might not be agreeable to me.

Eorzea is a continent on the planet Hydalen.
I am not from earth though it appears to be common that people here are.

It is rather beautiful, if I do say so myself.
I don't have one installed in my home personally but I have visited others who have.

[tangleofgarlands]

Earlier than that--February of '75.
is it post-millennium for you?

You wouldn't be the first person I've met from...then, I suppose, but it's still hard for me to wrap my head round.

Contextually I think I understand what you said in that last line, but I don't think I've ever seen any of those words used the way you used them. I suppose slang would evolve in thirty years, though.

Also, thanks, but it I'm not sure I can take any credit. I happened to be there when he was looking for something I could offer,
and bloody lucky he decided he wanted it from me.

[tangleofgarlands]

You could add sugar to it if you like. I'd rather just have milk, but that's me; it's not weird or anything if that's still too bitter. They also make something called a mocha that's got chocolate and steamed milk, which could be good for a mild introduction.

Er, sorry. I can get a bit carried away about this sort of thing...

How big is one of these things? Is installing one a multi-person effort?
My record player's small enough for me to carry, although I didn't bring it with me here.

[remarkablymodest]

No apologies are necessary.
I am grateful for the information, ser.
There is a lot new to me in this realm that I am still learning about.

It is a few fulms - feet, I believe it translates to in the common language here - tall. It does require some effort to install.
I've never seen a orchestrion roll yet small enough to carry.

[bratpack]

yeah it's like 2017 man
i was born in like 1999, i think, but i obv don't remember that

hey, slang is my thing though, i can totally educate you
i'll have people thinking you're a millennial in fucking no time.

[tangleofgarlands]

good lord. 1999? I'm old enough to be your bloody grandfather.

At any rate, I don't think I'd be all that convincing even if I did learn your slang, between my clothes and the gaps in my knowledge.

[bratpack]

clothes?! who cares about clothes, this place is full of 'em
you can just take what you need. that's what i do
i showed up here with everything pretty shredded, so

anyways you can always learn shit. i got faith in you, gramps

[ But he will always now call you 'gramps'. Sorry. It's happening. ]
