[ It's Tea Time ]

In a quiet London drawing room, a table is set. Pastries and tea are neatly arranged in the middle, as the sun slowly filters itself through the curtains. Someone is sitting, waiting for you to join their company.

With a smile, they turn to you, placing down their cup of tea.

"Hello! How may I help you?"

Welcome to the ask blog!

This is set in the universe of *'The Glass Scientists' but we play fast and loose with canon here. It will mostly be canon-divergent, or at the very least, canon-adjacent.

For my dear OC, Peppermint! Call them Mint for short! They're a Filippino sociologist, and they're currently stowing away.. somewhere?

The rest will be found out through asks, so fire away and have fun! :D

*NOTE: there will be some references to the Jekyll's Book Club Discord sever, but those will mostly be character related.

".. it's been a bit quiet around here.. alright!"

What's your favorite food? Asking for no particular reason... *While holding a notepad*

They seem.. confused. They stare blankly, as if trying to grasp onto something, but ultimately failing.

".. chicken adobo. It's chicken adobo."

Fun!

Theoretically, what should one do if they couldn't kill a group of aphids with a bunch of bombs or a colony of lacewings from the garden?

"Have fun explaining that to Jekyll then, I'm sure he'll be delighted."

AH! Hello hello! I don't think we've talked before! I'm Agnes, it's nice to meetcha!

So, um, why are ya called Peppermint? Is it a nickname or something?

"Agnes, it's nice to finally talk to you. I have seen you around the society, but we've never had a chance to chat"

"As for why I am called Peppermint; it's a name I chose for myself. If you wish to call me by a nickname, it would be Mint."

They smile, more relaxed than before.

Have you ever taken 17 Benadryl and seen the hat man?

"I have seen the hat man, but what's.. Benadryl? I'm assuming it's something not meant to be consumed in high dosages."

They're vaguely concerned, but they don't elaborate.

#mint tea asks #the glass scientists #the glass scientists oc #jekyll's book club #jbc #non-canon #[note: the hat man sightings date back to the early 2000s]

where were you the day the bite of '87 happened.. oddly suspicious

"Are you from the future, perhaps?"

They raise their eyebrow, tilting their head to the side.

"I hope this isn't a premonition. Though if it is, you're better off if I'm not there."

#mint tea asks #the glass scientists oc #the glass scientists #jekyll's book club #jbc

Can you hit the griddy

"..."

Silence.

".. I will assume that's something vulgar. I do not believe I have even heard of the 'griddy' let alone done it."

"Please never ask me this again."

#mint tea asks #the glass scientists #the glass scientists oc #jbc #jekyll's book club

Hm….

….How did you get that scar….?

-👁️

It's silence for a moment. All that can be heard is the ambient noise of the wind flapping the curtains. They take a second, sipping their tea quietly.

"A bar fight. Or well, more specifically, I stole some money from a bar and they chased me into the street. I was luck I didn't get seriously injured, all things considered."

They look back at you, and their gaze is almost cold.

"I do hope that satiates your curiosity. Though, if you're anything like me, we both know you'll push."

Ah! Uhm.. HEY MINT-!

I uh.. know we don’t talk much… Like ever- but… any tips on how to catch a bunch of aphids that didn’t die when you blew up the jar they were in..?

…this may or may not be crucial for the environment…I’m outta ladybugs to kill them with..

-☘️

"... Massie, zoology isn't quite my strong suit."

They appear to be on the brink of laughter, but they manage to keep it at bay.

"You are in luck, however. There are a colony of lacewings in the garden. Depending on how many aphids you released, they may be enough. If not, well.. good luck to you, I suppose."

[ OOC ]

[ Mint is from an upper-middle class family. Although they do not associate with their parents any longer, there are some habits which they can't seem to get rid of.

Proceed with caution if you ever bring it up. ]

Hyello! What’s your favourite thing about the society?

"The freedom. Of course, it cannot be completely free, but at the very least, I am free from the things I want to be away from."

For a moment, their eyes are distant, but it's gone as quick as it comes.

"Finding like-minded individuals is nice."

#mint tea asks #the glass scientists #the glass scientists oc

“How I really uttterly didn’t want to ask you a question yet I do have one stowing away in the back of my dear mind… where is your favourite place on the society to find some.. peace and quiet? Honest, not that I even care.” 🐱

"Quite the charmer, are you? I'm quite curious who's hiding behind the mask of an anon.."

They seem quite amused, smiling easily.

"Well, to answer your question, I like to hide in whatever unused storage room is available. There's quite a lot of them, if you look hard enough."

Ahh! Mx. Mint! I just mosied on over to ask you for some tips on how to keep your cool in all of the... *Ahem-* "Pandemonium" in the Society...

I'm sure you're aware of what I'm referring to, the events in the last few days have been, a tad difficult to not lose my marbles...

-🤞

"How I keep my cool?"

They seem relatively at ease, adding a teaspoon of sugar to their cup while they think.

"I guess I don't let it bother me too much. If it doesn't directly affect me, I don't see the issue with it and move on. Maybe take a break?"

As they offer the advice, they tilt their head to you and smile. It's a slightly unnerving glance, but it goes away quickly.

"I do hope that helps."
