Over the hills and through the woods

[Halbarad]

"HEELLLLOOOOO?!" Phil called out into the dark interior of the lab. "Is anyone here?"

[Dracos]

"Eh?  Who's there?"  An old voice called down.  "I'm busy, leave the sales brochures on the side!"

He didn't seem that grumpy, despite his words, so much as into something.  Could it be the legendary Dr. Andonuts?

"Um... we're not selling anything," Phil calls back. "Is it okay if we come inside out of the snow?" A little late, but if there's someone here it'd be kind of rude to invite themselves in.

[Zenthor]

"We're not selling anything!" Jade called back.  "It's freezing out here, you really should let us in, And Oh Nuts!"

`Why did all these sciencey people have to have such odd names?` Jade asked herself.

[Dracos]

"Go right ahead and enjoy some tea, I'll be down in a moment!"

Well, it was an invitation.  But tea?  What in the world was he talking about?  There was a small table, but no tea anywhere they could see.

[Halbarad]

In the face of lack of tea, Phil decides to inspect the machinery. This place is awesome~!

[Zenthor]

Jade didn't care.  She was just glad to be inside, out of the cold.  She started looking for a place to sit down and rest, too cold, tired, and in pain to browse the machinery.

[Brian]

While the doctor is still out of sight, Liao pitches his voice lower to his friends, "Do you think Dr.  AnDonuts can give us a map?  I might land us better next time if I knew where everything was."

[Halbarad]

"I bet he can," Phil says absently. "I'd really be surprised if he didn't have one..."

The boy is not quite drooling over the machinery present in the room.

[Dracos]

Phil was surrounded by the workshop of his dreams.  Neatly organized.  Well tested.  Gizmos in every corner.  Every time he thought he'd seen it all, there was something else.  Here a pencil that erased itself!  There a telescope that could see three times as far.

Jane saw some chairs around a table.

[Zenthor]

Jade knocked Jane out of the way (>_>) and quickly sat down at the table, relaxing while waiting for And Oh Nuts to get done with whatever he was doing.

[Dracos]

The table started humming as she sat down, holes opening in it.

Dracos

[Zenthor]

Jade blinked and leaned over one of the holes, trying to peak inside.

[Brian]

Liao watches Jade curiously, ready to haul her to safety should the holes emit something unexpected -- like fire or a walrus.

[Dracos]

A teacup pops up, rising from the table hole.  Followed by a warm looking pot of tea!
