THE MYSTERY TEA MEME

There's nothing like a nice, relaxing cup of tea. Right?

The Rules
1. Character 1 posts a comment including name/series/prefs/setup text (if desired).
2. Others reply, using RNG (1-23) to choose what kind of tea is being consumed.
3. ???
4. Profit. And fun.

GREEN TEA: Makes the drinker wiser. Bear in mind that wise doesn't necessarily mean smart.

JASMINE TEA: Turns boys girly, turns girls girlier.

EARL GREY TEA: Drinkers of this tea can't tell anything but the truth.

LADY GREY TEA: Drinkers of this tea can't tell anything but lies.

STRAWBERRY TEA: Causes uncontrollable hiccups.

MINT TEA: Causes a complete personality flip. Good is bad, bad is good, etc.

LEMON TEA: Instead of flipping personalities, suddenly gain someone else's personality.

CHERRY TEA: Ever saw a blushing virgin right before being deflowered? The people that drink this tea will show you how it's done.

CHAI TEA: Causes an uncontrollable need to dance, wherever you go.

OOLONG TEA: Causes an uncontrollable need to express everything in the form of a song. It might be a song you already know, or you might find you have a hidden talent for lyrics.

CHOCOLATE TEA: Effects may include: horniness, uncontrollable lust, more horniness, the need to take off clothes, a hoarse sexy voice, sweaty skin. (For the underage, causes uncomfortable heat and cheesy pickup lines.)

VANILLA TEA: Causes childish innocence, kindness, love of everything alive.

CARAMEL TEA: Have a little respect for your four-legged friends. Turns the drinker into an animal of the mun's choosing.

BERRY TEA: Ever wondered what it was like to be the opposite gender? You didn't? Too bad! Turns boys to girls and vice versa, complete with all the appropriate parts.

ROSE TEA: For the love of all that is good and shoujo, will the drinkers of this tea stop sparkling so melodramatically?

ENGLISH BREAKFAST TEA: Not only will the drinker be more arrogant, snobbish and better than you, but they will also voice it. Loudly. Narcissism is encouraged. So is slapping them back to their senses.

CHAMOMILE TEA: This tea will calm you down to the point of apathy and sloth. Don't bother leaving bed, it's not even worth it.

DAFFODIL TEA: SUCH A CALM TEA AT FIRST SIGHT BUT WHAT ABOUT WHEN IT MAKES YOU TALK IN CAPSLOCK?

THYME TEA: Suddenly your clothes don't seem to fit so well! Adult drinkers of this tea will be de-aged to childhood. Child drinkers will be aged to adulthood.

DARJEELING TEA: Causes the drinker to suffer severe delusions. They might just start to think they're the Queen of England, or a tree, or any number of things. I suggest you take videos for posterity and blackmail.

BLACK TEA: Causes blindness.

DECAF TEA: Sleep, who needs sleep?

WILD CARD: Choose a tea, mix and match, or invent your own!

Yukimura's eyes closed as he considered the question and how he felt, then slowly nodded. "I feel... an ache still. But the pain has mostly left." His eyes opened again and he moved a little closer, reaching for Sanada. "Are you hurting? If we were drugged now did it change us this way?"

"I was hurting, but now I'm just a little sore..." He wrapped his arms around Seiichi, hating how scared and confused he looked. "Maybe it was the tea? Maybe we are just hallucinating...people don't just...transform into other people."

There were shapes where there shouldn't have been shapes. When Yukimura was pulled into an embrace he almost pulled back from the shock of it. Even the arms around him didn't feel quite right. But that scent, that warmth, was very much Sanada. And it was that he moved toward, it was for that reason he lifted his own arms and threw them around his shoulders.

"How can this be an hallucination? We are having the same one. It caused us pain. This is real, Genichirou. Just what was in that tea?"

"I thought it was just berries!" Sanada squeaked. "All Auntie told me was that it would change my life!" He hadn't thought literally. "What do we do? We can't let anyone see us like this!"

"This is a change I never asked for." Yukimura pressed his, her? face into Sanada's shoulder and closed his eyes tight. "Maybe... Do you have her number? Can you call her and ask just what in the world this is?" He pulled back to look at Sanada, hope in his eyes now. "It could be temporary?"

Sanada nodded his head. "I'll call her. How much did you drink? Just incase that's important." Sanada knew from hanging around Renji that all data was important. "We'll figure this out."

"Just a few sips and I became like this.." He pulled back some more to look down at himself, but remained in contact with Sanada, as if he was afraid to let go of him. Yukimura was normally calm under fire, nothing could unruffle his feathers. But this? This was too much even for him.

"Ah..." Sanada worried a little. He had almost had his whole cup. He didn't let Seiichi go, but carefully got them to their feet so he could get to his phone. He called the Auntie, asking her what had been in the tea and told her what had happened.

Her glee and happiness could be heard well over the phone. Sanada yelled at her, telling her this was nothing to be happy about and asked if it was permanent. Her answer made him hang up the phone, looking at Seiichi, pale.

"She said she doesn't know if it's permanent."

He didn't let Sanada go either. Once standing he had both arms wrapped around one of Sanada's arms and that arm clutched to his chest. Letting go was not something he was willing to do right now.

Even more when he heard the voice on the other end of the phone.

She sounded happy?

"This was deliberate?" Yukimura asked in shock, head tipped to look up at his friend. "Why? Why would she do this to us and not know if this was permanent?" What was he supposed to tell his family?

Sanada was shaking with anger. "She always said the Sanada family didn't have enough girls." He hugged Yukimura tight. "I'm so sorry I dragged you into this. I swear I didn't know..." He would never put Yukimura through this. He liked Yukimura the way he was! "We'll...we'll talk to Grandfather. Maybe he knows...?"

When he was hugged, Yukimura shifted his attention from clinging to Sanada's arm hugging him back. And where he would normally have pressed his face into is friends chest... now he didn't know what in the world to do!

"Do you think he would?" The man was as traditional as they came. But hopefully... Yukimura nodded. "We should speak with him."

"I don't know who else to turn to. I didn't even know things like this were possible!" Sanada said. He hated his new voice. It was so...it was still low for a girl, but it was not his normal baritone. "This is magic...right?"

In the end Yukimura did drop his head against Sanada's shoulder, his arms had lifted to wrap around his neck to give him a little more leverage.

"I am unsure. But that can be the only explanation. How else can you change someone so dramatically so suddenly?" Yukimura shook his head and buried his face into the side of Sanada's neck. "... Is this is permanent. What do we do?"

Sanada held on tight to Yukimura. His stomach dropped at that last question. "...I don't know..." Tears sprang to his eyes, which absolutely horrified him. "I don't know..." He would never be able to forgive himself if he cursed Seiichi to this for life.

He tightened his arms around Sanada. This felt like such a strange, surreal dream. Had he fallen while he was out? He'd heard of people living whole lives while unconscious, even for just a minute. Could this be something like it?

But it felt so real. Sanada felt so real.

"We should speak to your grandfather." Yukimura said then as he slowly pulled back to look up at Sanada. "Maybe he can fix this? And if not... we can deal with this then."

Sanada nodded, black hair falling into her eyes as she looked down at Yukimura. "We need to stand first." Sitting on the floor in a heap wasn't helping them at all.

Hands, smaller and more fragile looking than they had any business being, rose to brush the hair from Sanada's eyes. "I suppose we should..." And so, Yukimura did it first by getting to her feet. Unsteady at first, but soon standing and holding out her hands to Sanada to help.

Sanada took Yukimura's hands and stood up. She was still taller than Yukimura...in fact, was the difference even more now?

He kept ahold of one of Yukimura's hands. "Let's go..."
