Scroll 16: Welcome Tea and Cherry Blossoms [visual]

[needsteaplz]

[A woman in her early thirties with red hair is in front of the Otsuki Chacha tea house. An orange tabby cat jumps onto her shoulder and watches as she records. Despite the intrusion, she manages to smile sincerely.]

Hello everyone! This is Saori, world hopper and owner of Otsuki Chacha tea house. Since the inside of the shop can't really accommodate anything bigger than a pony, we're going outdoors! There's going to be several tables available and tea will be on the house for all the newcomers. I got plenty of teas to choose from and it'll be a great chance to celebrate, well, a lot of things. Also this is belated, but it's a perfect chance to do some good old flower viewing since the cherry blossoms are still around.

So please come on by to Otsuki Chacha in the Night Market when you have a chance!

[Saori grabs Mana the cat so she can cradle him and make it look like he's waving bye.]

Righteous! That's nice of you, when everyone's all freaked out.

[needsteaplz]

[Saori would've responded but a familiar Aussie Shepard tackles his way in. He knew that voice from anywhere. ]

Easy, Sirius! It's great to see you again! It's been such a long time since we last met!

[cosmicsoul]

Whoa, little dude! Glad to see you too. What's happenin', Saori?

[needsteaplz]

Well, quite a lot actually. This is my third world I've been to and it's just over a year for me being here. Oh and Gaignun's here too and...we're actually dating.

[And she might be blushing a bit like a schoolgirl.]

[cosmicsoul]

Whoa. Sounds like a gas, Saori. Glad you two are tight! This place looks great, doesn't it?

[Echoing approval are... all 63 of Jupiter's pets.]

[needsteaplz]

[Sirius's tail wags and barks hello to Jupiter's pets. Mana, the cat, is naturally a little cautious around large numbers of guests, stays quiet.]

Goodness! Everyone's here with you!

For the most part, it's a pretty good. Strangely enough though, normally off-worlders are transformed to match this world. This is like the second time we got our original bodies back though.

[cosmicsoul]

[Io gets up in the screen and barks hello back. Yay friends.]

Yeah, far out, man! Transformed, huh? Guess that's just the way of the world, y'know?
