Pull stools into ideal position for customers

>Quickly make sure the stools won't break when your customers try to sit down.

Korin>Straighten stools calml-

.............................Nevermind

Alright guys, several things to note. First, updates will be coming about once a day if I can manage. Life is catching up to me, so I need to go and deal with it. But that won't stop this awesome story. I've barely scratched the surface of this thing.

Second, I'm going to put these posts on the Avatar Subreddit, where there are a lot of fans who'd probably be interested in this sort of thing. I'll be taking commands from both there and here to mix some things up. For example, Baofu's full title came from an earlier Reddit version of LotTM. Have fun on both.

[Absol]

>If you don't have the grace mentioned above, put the stool down and act like you were just wiping the counter.

[Fwee]

>HUG THE MAN!

[Menen]

>Accidentally pour hot tea all over him.

>Change your Name to Mr. Tea

[epoxy]

> Rub the stool on the countertop; you were just cleaning up.

[That_One_Girl]

> Say you were just INSPECTING the stool. You're your own health and safety department.

[Kíeros]

> Quickly! Behind the counter!

[BestTeaMaker]

> Jump back behind the counter with the grace of a professional moose lion tamer.

Korin>Quickly jump behind the counter

"Look sir, can you just get in? I need to go back on patrol soon."

"Alright, I'm coming!"

No! If you say that he'll know your lying and doubt what you say later on.

> Ask this man what type of tea he wants.

[sonic3535]

> Offer your best wares.

[kaleidoscope]

>Offer a specialty tea of your own design

[Dreamscythes231]

> Give a makeshift menu by speech and serve them.

[BestTeaMaker]

> Offer your best wares.

Korin>Serve your tea

Your nerves have thankfully been shaken off by that maneuver. Time to make some tea!



Let's do this!

Guest: "Wow!! That was amazing!"

Guard: "....You seem excited by everything you see."

Alright! So some things you should now. I will be making these quick little guides across the series, so keep an eye out for them in the future! There's a whole world of tea out there, waiting to be discovered in this world. Also, I've made some banners for this series in my sig linking to here and the AvatarSpirit forums, a large Avatar fanbase. So if you like LotTM, be sure to pass it on to a friend or two!

> Guest: Give an extra big tip to this nice server.

[epoxy]

> Offer to show off your skill in one of two ways:

- By flawlessly brewing a tea that is traditional and local to the area in which you apprenticed. This will demonstrate your respect for the history and mastery of your craft.

or

- By brewing something exotic and experimental that no-one's tried before. This will demonstrate your ingenuity and creative spirit.
