[ contrary to his fairly casual way of speaking, Lupin types on the forums exactly the way you'd expect a gentleman from the 1800s to write a letter. ]

My dear fellow abductees,

The recent events involving Shadows and Shadow-Monsters led to the unfortunate loss of my hat; with their activity subsided, I assumed that my stolen goods would be returned to me. However, it appears they had one last prank to play on me: I am reunited with a hat, but not my own. It is a navy blue pork pie hat with a red and white ribbon, adorned with a cute pink flower. I've attached a rather poor image of it - my description may be of more use.

[ attached is an artistic depiction of a hat. He did his best with the laptop touchpad and the paint program... ]

If you are the owner of this hat, it shall be returned to you. And if you have my hat - a fine silk top hat with a red tie - this is a notice of my intention to take it back, if you will not hand it over yourself.

Cordialement,
Lupin

As you wish. I'll prepare a bevy of topics to keep the lady happy, then. I suppose you must be feeling a bit left out after everything that happened; if you allow it, I'll be glad to provide you company and fill you in on the details as well.

I WAS DOING AC AND JUST SAW THIS... WTF STOP EATING MY TAGS GMAIL

[extrapolating]

At least a little. It is a bit hard to be completely left out just because I hardly realize I was gone! But I would appreciate learning what I missed, since being uninformed in such a strange place is uncomfortable.

It's not much, but I can at least make us tea to share.

[ since food is still just not generally fun to eat, save a few exceptions ]

SURE I SEE HOW IT IS

[heartsteals]

Tea would be perfect, actually! I didn't know we had any here - I have been missing it terribly.

[extrapolating]

That's because I made it myself. It probably only barely counts as tea, since I was only picking things based on books I had read and it still doesn't have much at all in the way of flavor. But it was something to try to pass the time.

Eventually we might be able to make something actually good, though!

[ she's positive, at least!! because yeah for now it's probably really bad but she tried ]

[heartsteals]

[ ... in other words, she just picked some random plants and put them in water...? he hopes he's just not understanding what she means. ]

I'm quite sure that we will; we are already amassing an interesting stock of fruits and vegetables. If we are lucky then we will get proper tea-blocks or tea-bags or perhaps just Seeds to go with it all soon. After that, it's only a matter of time until we can bake a proper scone to match.

[extrapolating]

[ look

maybe ]

That's what I'm hoping. Since there were some fruits, I thought it would at least be worth trying to use them. [ But also like, she didn't exactly use a lot. So. Definitely mixed results with this tea, and it's obvious ] I hope there's enough for scones eventually. I haven't really tried baking before, so that would be a good excuse to try.
