The art of brewing tea is just that, an art. The water must be just at the right temperature, it can only be steeped for so long, and if a blend, the ratio must be perfect to draw out the full flavors. You would think that tea isn't very hard to make right? Just add some hot water and let the leaves soak right?
Wrong
Tea is delicate and requires precise actions and additions. One wrong move and BOOM! It's all ruined. Can't have that can you? There is however a step by step guide on HOW to brew your own tea, and how to possibly ear some sweet prizes in the process. Quote: TEA BREWING 101 Rolling 3 d20, each die will represent a point scale on how well you did. Coming the points of each die will either lead to a prize... or nothing at all. The one who tests your tea is a small Pixie daeva. Die 1- Leaf ratio1-5: You sparsely put leaves into the tea infuser. Might not get a whole lot of flavor.. (+1 point) 6-10: You have just the right amount of leaves. Not too many, not too few. (+3 points) 11-15: You have a bit much, but, you'll just have to be careful when it comes to steeping (+2 Points) 16-20: WAY TO MANY LEAVES! It's practically overflowing and if you dunk it in water, it might just burst! (+0 points) Die 2- Water temperature1-5: Too cold, you hardly draw out any flavor from this particular type of tea. (+1 point) 6-10: Perfect. The water is bubbling just enough. (+3 points) 11-15: Almost, you won't get perfect, but it'll still be good.(+2 Points) 16-20: Burning hot! You're going to ruin the flavor at this rate! (+0 points) Die 3- Steep time1-5: Too soon you pull it out, leaving you with water with just a hint of flavor. (+0 points) 6-10: You set it aside, and wait just the right amount of time. The full flavor filling the cup. (+3 points) 11-15: You set it a bit too long, but nothing that damaging. Maybe you can ater it down? (+2 Points) 16-20: Way to long. Now it tastes like hot leaf juice! (+0 points) Total Score:0-4: Sorry, but you tea isn't good at all. :C 5-7: Your tea is pretty good! Pick a token or random minipet! Quote iStoleYurVamps, 8+: Wow! This tea is great! You get one token and a minipet! Remember SN for mini!

 Mystery OnigiriA plate of what looks like harmless onigiri sits, untouched. The pixie daeva seemed to not have an interest in them, but watches people with interest. A small list sits, explaining that there are various fillings, and certain fillings has a prize for them. Seems simple enough.... until you read what some of the fillings are. You're going to need to brace yourself for this! (And keep an eye on a trash bin in the distance!) Quote: A simple mystery food game, players may take up to three onigiri a day to win a prize! (I will let you google to fine out what things are. List taken from here)

 Standing in his own little corner of the Tea Club booth, a bony young horseman seems meticulously preoccupied with making sure several rows of teabags—and some rather delicious, yet exotic-looking onigiri—are neatly in line, one foot simultaneously managing to pump the rotors of what could best be described as a pottery wheel. He pauses in his work just long enough to flash you a welcoming grin, waving you over with a hearty: “Come get a lovely teacup for your tea! A Clan experience, custom designed by yourself, provided by-y-yyyy-y—” before nearly slipping on the pottery pedal, catching his balance again with an awkward smile. While hardworking and determined, no one ever said Kiwi was very good at multi-tasking. Pausing a moment to straighten the feathers and twigs in his drawn-back hair and the cloth at his waist, you notice he wears very little else, and what little he does wear gives off a muted jangling sound as he leads you behind the controls of the pottery wheel. A soft, prepared mound of clay rests at it's center, the beginnings of your very own teacup.
Teacup Making So you want to create your own custom-made teacup?? Lovely. Participants start by rolling 1d100 and matching the outcome to the options listed below:
1-20: You press the pedal and the wheel begins to spin quickly, a little too quickly. Unable to keep the momentum at a steady pace, water and clay go flying, leaving you nothing to work with. Better luck next time sad
21-40: The pedestal hums to life, spinning a bit quickly, but not too much so. You press your fingers through the clay, coming out with a rather lumpy, uneven attempt at a clay cup. Ah well.
41-60: You get the pedestal running at a steady pace and guide your fingers around and across the lump of wet clay. The result is rather plain, but a nice, smooth teacup indeed. +1 Token and complimentary Tea package.
61-80: You have a nice start, but—Wh-w-whoaa-aa— your foot slips and you loose control of the wheel, smearing your beautiful attempt. Better luck next time.
81-100: Have you done this before?? Kiwi wonders upon inspection of the teacup. It is accurately crafted, with a nice amount of detail too. +1 Token and complimentary Tea package.
If you achieve outstanding results with your teacup, please quote xoxomenai* for confirmation of your win, and roll 1d6 matched to the list below. This determines which tea type you win as a prize, along with a special kiwi-flavor onigiri handed out with each prize. These prizes may be displayed in your character’s dorm as part of the event![Please only claim one of the teas below if I have confirmed your win. Thank you!]
1: Poison Ivy Tea (aka Green Tea) - A tea with a lovely green color and earthy, herbal notes. It is rumored to be coveted by the people of Conquest.
2: Shrieking Tea (aka Blooming Tea) - An exotic tea made from the dried flower of a mandrake, upon steeping it opens up to full bloom. Some even claim to hear the shrieks of the mandrake in this brew.
3: Earl Scry Tea (aka Earl Grey Tea) - A tea said to be invented by a famous warlock with the odd ability to see into the future. Drinking it has been known to cause brief hallucinations.
4: Booberry Tea (aka Blueberry Tea) - A very common and popular tea in Halloween, drank by both the young and the old.
5: Gingersnap Tea (aka Ginger Tea) - A subtle brew with a fiery sweet taste.
6: Elixir Tea (aka Chai Tea) - An exotic brew often coveted by the alchemists of Famine. Be warned though, they tend to make their own concoctions, which may or may not lead to haphazard results.
Special Complimentary Kiwi-giri: A unique onigiri steamed up just for the event. It features an uncanny resemblance to the game's overseer, and more importantly, is stuffed with a fruity kiwi filling. The feathers in it's "hair" are actually small detachable forks that participants may choose to eat their onigiri with. Anyone who participates is welcome to take one home, and those who win prizes will recieve one automatically!
* I am also offering players the chance to have the teacup they create drawn up for dorms/display purposes, so if anyone would like an IC image of their character’s teacup, please PM xoxomenai with details on your cup‘s appearance, and I will add you to the list.
Teacup Design List:
- Fai (Ice Queen)
- Soren (Ramenli)

It seems that a cluppy of sorts has been wandering around. Maybe if you're lucky you can grab one of the bone boxes it's hanging out by. For every RP post you make, (min 5 sentences), you can roll 1 d100. if 1-5 or 96-100 you've won a cluppy! IC what happens is the cluppy at the booth gives you a little coffin. If you show up and win then stop RPing I'll make faces. Please at least write a conclusion. Max 5 rolls a day. If you win, Quote iStoleYurVamps, (and please wait since I'm on limited net)

For an undead with a decent sense of smell, Marigold found herself drawn to this booth. Maybe it just wasn't the delicious scent. Maybe it was how peaceful it was or maybe it was the music. Either way, she was ready to plaaaay~ Or brew tea in this case! She stared at the pictures of the tea brewing guide for as long as her attention span could manage and then promptly did whatever she wanted! OwO!!!! <3iStoleYurVamps 14: You have a bit much, but, you'll just have to be careful when it comes to steeping (+2 Points) 7: Perfect. The water is bubbling just enough. (+3 points) 8: You set it aside, and wait just the right amount of time. The full flavor filling the cup. (+3 points) 8: Wow! This tea is great! You get a token AND a minipet!
