Week 6
Good morning, New Rapture. A new day is dawning.
Another week at the bottom of the sea. You may start to mark the passage of time by the increasing number of people you seem to be bleeding each week - look how few of you there are now. Nearly half your number gone, and for what? The shadowy machinations of some madman? You've met some others, but they seem unable or unwilling to solve this problem for you. Time marches onwards.
In the abyss, New Rapture starts to wake. It's small things, for now - the lights of a building here and there, the flicker of a neon sign for some small business. The restoration of this city continues.
Speaking of this city, there's a new branch of your little slice of it to explore. It's certainly the most picturesque of the branches you've seen.
There's more to see and do, citizens of New Rapture. And hey, there's coins to get, too.
SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY
[ ooc: Welcome to the sixth week of Unknown Seas Round 3! Please make sure to mark any investigation toplevels accordingly, post your ac, and you can reach either Mayor Fontaine or Eleanor for conversations! ]

There's also, for some reason, a stack of blotting paper next to the hot water spout. And a note on top that says Lavender + Mint + Ginger Root. ]

Well, he can't guarantee the tea will be up to anyone's standards, much less Azami's (whom Forrest would absolutely refer to by given name, and he looks like the sort of person that would just recoil through the wall at that); it's usually the maids that make the tea. But if Uncle Xander can learn, so can he, so let's...make some tea...
He'll look at the blotting paper after a while, though, and he'll try a couple of things with them; holding them in the steam, for one thing, though if that doesn't get them wet enough he'll pour a small amount onto it. Not enough to go everywhere, just dripping enough on it to get it wet, because huh.]
PUZZLE 5: TIME FOR TEA
Five ladies sat down to afternoon tea. The first lady wished to go home after and have a nap, so she requested Chamomile and Lavender, with mint and honey to taste. The second lady wanted something floral, so she requested Hibiscus and Rosehip. The third lady was feeling adventurous, and so created a blend of Lavender, Rooibos, Lemongrass, and Mint. The fourth lady requested coffee, but upon learning she could not have that, simply requested tea with caffeine, which can be found in the black tea mix or the oolong tea mix. The fifth lady requested Ginger Root and Cinnamon for her throat.
However, the ladies arrived late, and only two teas could be created for them. Create two blends that will together satisfy all of their tastes, while keeping in mind why each lady ordered what they did. There may be multiple solutions.

You know, Forrest is just going to make the executive decision that he's too dumb for this (that and Redd and I both want to try to solve this) so he's going to go grab Rossiu? Rossiu was recently, like, right there making sure he hadn't drowned, be right back.]

Let's see here...
[Oh, this looks fun!! You can practically see him light up as he begins to read through it.]

[He's already writing down some ideas, but sadly, I know nothing about tea. The first three ladies seem like they can fit together with the last two sharing the caffeinated tea??]
no subject
We've got rooibos + lavender + hibiscus + mint for the first three ladies, and oolong + ginger root + cinnamon for the last two.
The logic here is that rooibos tends to be soothing, as does lavender and mint; lavender + hibiscus should add a floral note to the whole thing, and rooibos + hibiscus + mint sounds like a fairly adventurous combination to me.
Meanwhile, oolong for the caffeine, ginger root + cinnamon for the last lady's throat problems.
How wrong are we, and in the event that we're not, are we supposed to make the blends?]

The first will net you "FLOORBOARDS UNDER" and the second will net you "WESTMOST TABLE" ]

Anyway, he will take friend and the blue key, and...well, he's going to spend a little bit of time continuing to poke around with Rossiu, most likely, but is there anything else of note in here or have we found everything?]
