Hey - welcome to our little circle.
Though I am not a drinkable beverage that can be put in your cup - Esna beat me to offering tea, but I'll happily offer cream, sugar or whatever else is called for to supplement your beverage taste.
If you take the ale, I might be able to make a pretzel? It's been a long time since I've done non-pastry baking.
I admit I stopped reading chatsubo - not out of dislike as I'm pretty easy going, but out of laziness. I can't stand checking too many forums and I'm already a daily reader of the ILF forums, Du'uma Fiisi's forums (kinda goes hand in hand with being a director and all...) and here. That and I promised my boyfriend I'd lurk on Backstage since it was his pet project to help create it.
It's pretty relaxed here. If your not completely ready to jump into the OOC roleplay discussions I always recommend a bit of interesting reading in the Speakeasy about some entertaining non-game related topics.
Stay awhile - bring your friends; the more the merrier.
