Welcome to the Tea-shop.

At first sight, it looks awfully plain, with a perfectly ordinary white door and meticulously polished windows. The inside, too,
looks pretty normal. It’s what you’d expect of any other tea-shop. There are two storeys, and a kitchen behind the counter.
Chinese scrolls adorn the walls, and there are porcelain cats so life-like they look like they’re slinking around on the shelves.

You take a seat, pick up the menu and flip through it.
hmmm, you think, what should I order?

A boy smiles as he comes up to you.

“Decided on your order yet, miss?"

...

"One oolong tea… got it! Anything else?”

Nope.

Still smiling, he disappears into the kitchen. You look around, bored, and then you notice the same boy crouching by the
windows, polishing them. Strange. You didn’t see him come out of the kitche--- and there he is, tray perfectly balanced on
his hand.

Ahhh. Twins.

“Enjoy your tea,” he winks, and then goes back to his position behind the cashier.

And so, you sit by the window, sipping your tea. It’s good tea- the best you’ve ever had. It tastes better than cold water in
the middle of a desert. You could survive just drinking this.

“Excuse me, Miss?” You’re knocked out of your tea-reverie by a gentle voice, and you look up to see a tall woman, her hair
pinned up neatly with a—what? A Pomeranian? As if it’s reading your thoughts, the ridiculously fluffy dog barks happily at you,
and you can’t help but stare at it openmouthed.

“Please, have this.” She hands you a fortune cookie, and you remember to close your mouth, blushing as you try to refuse.

“I’m not… I don’t believe in these things,” you stammer, but she presses it into your hand anyway.

“Take it,” she smiles. “I’m sure you’ll like what’s inside.”

As she turns away, you pull out the piece of paper wedged in between the cookie halves...

{{ Qian En }}
The owner of the teahouse, and also the one who brews the tea. She's never separated from her beloved dog, a pomeranian who sits on her head. Word has it that she was once a famous mafia lady boss; at any rate, she is as much a mystery as the Bermuda Triangle is. At times, Qian En will step out of the kitchen, offering hand-made fortune cookies to the customers. What’s inside those fortune cookies? Wouldn’t you like to know!

{{ Xun and Yu }}
Twin boys who work at the teahouse. Since they began work one month ago, the number of female customers has increased… wonder why, huh? Unlike Qian En, the twins are bright, sparkly and happy. You can’t get them down. Ever. Don’t even try. For them, the teacup isn’t half full- it’s overflowing.

{{ stage o1 ll fortune cookie }}
Crunch, crunch. Wait, did you read what's inside? This is a hand-made fortune cookie from the Tea-Shop,
given to you personally by the owner, Qian En. Every cookie's message is different, and of course, you
only know what's inside when you receive and open the cookie.

{{ stage o2 ll puppy }}
Whoa- what the... huh? You wake up in the morning to see a puppy running around in your house, making
a mess. Where did it come from? Truth is, the message in your fortune cookie acts a a summoning spell.
These adorable dogs are your guardian spirits, your lucky (or unlucky) stars. Take good care of them,
and they will take good care of you... hopefully ;D

» .. If you don't have a puppy, you can use one of the banners below!
» .. Every person you refer who applies to be a colourist gets you one entry into a raffle.
» .. There will be two prizes for the raffle: one for you, and one for the person you referred.
» .. Basically, it means that the two of you will be entered as a team.
» .. If you submitted an application, but you were not referred by anyone, you may still enter the advertising raffle.
» .. The catch is that, should you win the raffle, you only get one pet; the other has to be given away.
» .. You may gift the puppy to anyone of your choice.
