[ Everybody settling in alright? Or at least, as well as can be expected?

Everybody enjoy their cherry tasting legumes?

Adrien had intended to send this out as a text, but he was still getting used to the new TABs and upon realizing his mistake, couldn't be arsed to change it. The doctor usually looks harried, it might have something to do with his perpetual scowl, but he's looking particularly yanked through a knothole backwards at the moment.

All the way down to the fact that he's obviously showered and made an attempt to trim his beard, only to wind up cutting himself. Please ignore the tell tale little dots of paper stuck to his face at the moment. The blade was dull, okay?! ]

It dawned on me, as these things do when one is slicing their face open with a razor, a question that probably should have been asked a week or so ago.

Those of you in the crew, who are capable of, or posses magical abilities and of a temperament to help, would you have a spell or a ... [ here he gestures with his hands, he's not trying to be offensive, magic is just not something his world has ever been exposed too and he's only aware that it can be vary from person to person. ] ... that would purify water?

Thinking if that ability exists, we might give it a try on those purple streams and see if we can remove some of the nasty side-effects and restock our supplies.

Many of the customs my Society follows could be called redundant. But people seem to like the ritual of it.

[ Adrien had always loathed the ritual of it, an attitude that hadn't been a problem when he'd been in the discipline of the military. Civilian life had been a different story. ]

My personal favorites were the rules around wine glasses, vs brandy snifters vs port or sherry, vs whiskey.

[Rituals have their place in a culture. Nate's enough of a historian to know that and to understand how they can be important to the people practicing them, even though objectively they aren't.

Liquor rituals like Adrien's describing still seem kinda tiresome.]

Oh, sounds fascinating, for sure.

[Haha no it doesn't.]

[ Nate has just earned himself a flat look of 'really'? ]

[sketchycharacter]

[Adrien has earned a look in return that says 'no, of course not really, I am insulted you would think me sincere'.]

[prorenataa]

[ Which in turn earned Nate a roll of his eyes, Of course not, I was being sarcastic, you ass. ]

[sketchycharacter]

[And a nod of 'good, then we've settled it.']

[prorenataa]

[ There was a pause, a long ... stupid sort of pause, before Adrien rolled his eyes again.

This is dumb.

And he reached for his device to cut the connection. Seriously, what are words? ]
