[Molly's been in this world for a few months now, long enough that he's figured out the basics of the technology and become a fan of a couple of small cafés. And bathhouses. And spas. And thrift stores. And—yeah, Molly's a regular expert by now in Treating Himself. But this? This is new.

Open on: Mollymauk Tealeaf, wearing a red coat lined with white, embroidered and decorated with holiday symbols of all kinds—not only familiar symbols for winter holidays like a Christmas tree and a Festivus pole, but symbols that seem incomprehensible to anyone but followers of gods from the Exandrian pantheon (or from any Dungeons and Dragons pantheon). He grins at the camera, and holds up a paper cup of steaming peppermint mocha.]


I've been here for months and not a single one of you thought to tell me anything about the holidays here. I knew you people liked to celebrate, but I didn't realize that meant holiday promos on every block. [He tuts.] Shame.

[He takes a sip of his latte, and makes a noise like he's just had a religious experience.]

God, this tastes incredible. [A sigh, and he leans back against his chair.] Really makes up for that space food back at the Swear-In. And everything else. Do things like that usually happen here?

[It reminds him a little too much of that job for the Knights of Requital—things had spun far, far out of control before Molly could do anything about it. But here he is now, having bounced back just fine from his ordeal.]

Besides that, I was actually going to ask something else. [Taking a sip of his mocha again.] What's the best holiday-themed drink in this country, and where can I find it? Or how do I make it, if I've really got to.

Oh! You should try champurrado then! It's a great winter drink. I'm not sure if it's technically a holiday drink. If it is, I think that would be the best. Oh, and anything from the Re: Cafe of course.

Champurrado. It's like hot chocolate. It's made from masa harina, a corn dough flour. It has dark chocolate, cinnamon and other spices. It's really rich and thick. Perfect for a cold day.

You should!
