If anyone is still dealing with the beast effects from the month you are welcome to come ot my shop. I think I have figured out a a good combination of teas and incense that can at least alleviate any discomfort caused by it.

[He can't guarantee that it will solve the issue of being monsters but he still hopes that things will work out by the time the month ends. He's dealt with two years of this kind of stuff so he has at least partially figure out how it all works.]

And even if you have more normal ailments, I have stuff for that too. Different teas are good for different physical and mental issues. I don't really have any set hours since the shop is just inside my house. Feel free to come to my door at any time.

[If someone knocks on his door he will answer. Even if it is super late at night. He doesn't sleep much.]

The house is located in Cassandra and its...pretty recognizable.

[Large Chinese style home sticks out quite a bit amongst all the standard housing around him.]

I don't have a problem with tea, though I do think some teas are kind of gross. Like chamomile. I know it's supposed to be good at calming you but it tastes awful. Pill form would be nice, though!

[chenqing_player]

[He laughs because he can agree that not all tea is great. He has discovered that himself, especially when trying to create new styles of teas to combat ailments.]

There are definitely some bad teas out there. But I can easily make the same kind of remedy in pill form. I've learned since being here that it is the better option for a lot of people.

[fogsong]

Teas require a lot of know-how to get them to taste right, I've learned. [ who would know that following the directions on the box of tea would make it taste better than just dumping boiling water into a cup ] It makes sense pill form would work better for a lot of people here, especially if you've got a picky patient, like me.

I never really thought tea would be useful for things like sleep problems. Or any problems, honestly. I always thought people just said that to sell their teas.

[chenqing_player]

You would be surprised what tea is capable of. The right combination of leaves and ingredients and you can help a variety of things. But it all depends on the person. Some get more help out of it then others. But that's why I try to change the tea to fit the person as best I can.

[fogsong]

So, you're like some kind of tea master then? What else can tea help with?

[chenqing_player]

I consider myself more of an inventor. Different types of teas just happens to fall under what I can invent.

They can calm or energize, help with sleep or help stay awake, cure internal wounds and if applied a certain way..external wounds as well.

[At least the leaves can before they are brewed into tea.]

[fogsong]

Wow. [ She sounds genuinely amazed. She always viewed tea as something you drink when you have nothing else but to hear what they can do with the right knowledge... It's impressive. ]

I'll definitely have to come by for a visit, maybe stock up on some things. What sorts of things do you prefer for trade? I don't have a lot but I do paint if you're ever looking to have a few unique pieces of work for your shop.

[chenqing_player]

I don't really need any payment. The fact I am able to help is more then enough. But if you decide you want to paint then I will gladly hang them up in here.

[fogsong]

I'll never get used to how so many people here are just willing to help with no expectations for anything in return.

[chenqing_player]

I think most of us just know that in this place, its more important to have friends and allies then income.

[fogsong]

I guess I can see the logic in that. This isn't a place where you can go it alone, even if I wish it were.

[chenqing_player]

In a way it is good to have such a sense of community. It's just a shame it happens because we live in a world that can be dangerous at any given moment.
