OPEN: New Beginnings In Stranger Places

[promnibusanctis]

Who: Dr. Helen Magnus and [You]
When:  Day 92
Where: Roaming around, a little lost 
What: Arrival, getting her bearings, etc. etc.

Adventure was something Helen Magnus never shied from and exploring the vastness of the underground Sanctuary, far beyond those walls was something she couldn't deny herself.  So it was that she found herself here, under contract to the Ringmaster with her eyes wide with wonder at it all.  The lights and colours, the excitement, the darker elements shining through here and there.  It was as familiar as it was alien and she drank it in with an eagerness she had long felt lacking.  It stirred her as she moved through tents, passed people much like her who had joined perhaps years before her.  A bright flash of a tail there, wings, glowing skin, all of these people becoming Abnormals or were in the beginning.  The sheer fascination would have been enough, really.

 

"Excuse me?" she asked, reaching out to catch the attention of one of the people she had fallen into step with, "I seem to have found myself a bit lost.  I was looking for the medical tent and I seem to have completely gotten myself turned around.  If you could point me in the right direction, I'd be most grateful."

Helen took her own sip and pretty much made the same face. He was right, it wasn't terrible just not at all what one might expect in a tea. Her brown knits and then she laughs.

"It tastes more than a dessert than a tea," she says. "Perhaps I should have gotten the smaller cups so we could have a go at all of them. Or I could just find some good English tea. I was fairly certain I saw a tin back in there that said British Breakfast Royal tea."

Strange takes another sip, swishes it around his mouth for a moment, then adds in one of the sugar cubes. Why not, it's a dessert, desserts are sweet, let's see if making it sweeter would taste more desserty. He's normally not one for sweet things to begin with but, than again, this is the first time he's had mint chocolate tea.

"I don't mind it," he adds in, as he stirs the tea to dissolve the sugar. "Still, if you want to make a different cup for yourself, I shan't stop you. There should be enough water in the kettle and it's quite easy to reheat the water."

Having no idea if Helen came from a world with modern conveniences or not, Strange is assuming better safe than sorry. The stove is awesome though, he is a big fan of electricity, stoves, microwaves, and pretty much anything that elevates his absolute lack of cooking skills to slightly more impressive cooking skills.
