[Oh hi Shiro, long time no see on the network. That's because this is a last-ditch effort. He looks pretty darn not great, despite the fact it's Sleep Season for Warmbloods. Maybe it's the Arena. Maybe it's the River. Something honestly, sincerely traumatic that's happened already.]

[His face is in his hands, hunched over the counter in his kitchen. The omni in front of him. Voice haggard and quiet. Like he has a migraine.]

I will pay... however much anyone wants. For coffee beans. Espresso beans. Don't even have to be cooked. Roasted. Doesn't matter.

[... Or it's caffeine withdrawl.]

Or tea leaves. I don't care.

[Please, he is Suffering.]

I'll take that. Never tried mint tea before, this'll be fun. Where do you live, by any chance?

[shiro2hero]

It's definitely not caffeinated, I'll say that much.

We - I'm out in the residential district. Crenshaw, I think it's called.

[viciousmaukery]

All right, I'll give, I don't really know what that means. Other than it wakes you right up, I'm guessing.

I'm all the way in Cellar Door, but I'll be there soon as I can. With tea that'll hopefully wake you right up. [It might! Probably. This is the non-trippy kind of mushrooms, because Molly's not going to accidentally drug some poor guy who just wants some coffee.]

[shiro2hero]

Oh, yeah - that's what caffeine does. Wakes you up in the morning.

[Sorry, friend, he forgot there.]

We've got a lamp out front, if that would help anything.
