Giving Friendship a Glance

Pairing: Alastor x F!OC (Theia, The Demon of a Thousand Eyes)

Chapter Summary: After a surprisingly calm but oddly charged interaction over coffee with Alastor, you greet Sir Pentious and his egg bois, then start another bonding exercise with Charlie. She pairs you into groups (all except Angel, who had to go to the studio), and you end up with Husk. Your exercise is to find one trait about each other that you find admirable. It takes some whiskey (and eyeballs for you) to loosen you both up, but an hour later and you feel like you know him a surprising amount better. After, Niffty thinks she found a thief in your room.

Warnings: None

The next morning, you get out of bed, and changing into your day dress, shape it into something comfy yet fashionable, going with your signature popped collar, three-quarter length sleeves, and an asymmetrical hemline that feels like you’re wearing flower petals. Hair up in your signature bun, you pull the hairpin out from your pocket and slip it into your hair. Double checking your appearance in the mirror, you smile at your reflection. You haven’t changed in the last year much. Your skin is still your sapphire blue, which fades into a darker shade as it reaches your extremities, your claws a blue so dark it looks black. Your horns are the same, the tips so dark it looks black but fading back into that sapphire. Your eyes blink back at you, gold sclera and silver iris. Your black pupils match your black hair and eyelashes. The eyebrows and eyelashes on your face are also black. Winking at yourself with your center eye, you decide you are ready to greet the day.

Before you leave your room, you test out the subspace tunnel you’d created in your pocket. You set it up so it emerges just over the jar for easier access (as that is what it will most often be used for). While you don’t prefer to leave the lid off, it is much harder to replace it given you have less depth of field with only the ones on your wrist to view from, which will be the case most often. So you leave the lid off next to the jar.

Then, you leave and lock your room, and head downstairs to the kitchen, hopeful for some coffee. Breakfast sounds nice too, but given last night, coffee sounds as close to heaven as you’ll ever get.

While there is no one else in the kitchen upon your arrival, and indeed no one in the hall on your way there, either; you find a pot of coffee already brewing and almost ready to drink.

Looking through the cabinets above, you see a series of mugs all with personalized sayings on them, including the one you saw Alastor drinking out of earlier. In the corner there appears to be two new mugs, each with their own personalized sayings. One has a snake on it and says ‘Don’t Hiss Me Off!’ You see this is clearly for Sir Pentious. The one next to it has the phrase ‘EYE SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE’ Arranged like an eye test chart and an eyeball underneath. You smile wider, despite considering I for EYE substitutions your least favorite type of eye pun. You’re not sure who made this—you assume it was probably Charlie—but the sentiment, the attempt at inclusion, and the effort to make such a mug in a short amount of time makes you feel more welcome than you’d anticipated.

You pull it off the shelf and pour yourself a cup of the coffee when it indicates that it is ready. Then you set it on the counter, and using the subspace portal in your pocket, you retrieve two eyes to drop into your coffee. You take a sip and hum happily at how rich and bitter it is. Whoever made this really likes coffee, you decide. You’d have to if you’d brewed it this way on purpose.

Before you can debate on what to make for breakfast, you suddenly become aware of radio static, hear the faint lilting of jazz, and what you suspect is humming along to the tune. All the hairs on your neck stand on end. You lean against the counter and sip your coffee, attempting to feign indifference convincingly.

Alastor, indeed, is playing jazz from his microphone, and in the moments before he notices you standing there, he is humming along.

It would have to be him, you think with irritation. Can’t I just enjoy a cup of coffee in peace? Nevertheless you keep that smile you’ve worked so hard to maintain.

There is a faint click as the music is turned off. “Ah, good morning, my dear! Apologies if the coffee is a bit too strong for your tastes! I like mine bitter and black; the stronger the better! Perhaps it could be stifled with some cream and sugar to appease your palate?”

Casually taking another sip, you look over the rim of your mug at him with a smile. “And mask this wonderful flavor?” You ask, gesturing with your unoccupied hand. “Unthinkable! Not when it enhances the flavor of the eyeballs I’ve added so nicely.” You take another sip. “Should I thank you for this delicious cup of coffee, or did Niffty make it and you’re just here to reap the benefits of her desire to please you?”

Instead of answering, he invades your personal space to the point where you can feel his body heat again, barely a breath away as he reaches up and over you for his mug, then pulls away like it was nothing, like he hadn’t been almost touching you, and then pours himself a cup, which he proceeds to sip from immediately.

You eye him from over your mug and let one of the eyeballs fall into your mouth. So Niffty did make the coffee then. I’ll have to thank her later. You watch him watch you as you chew and swallow, then do the same for the other eyeball. The only sounds are muffled sipping and drinking.

“Oh how rude of me,” You say as you take another sip to finish off your first mug of coffee. “I forgot to say good morning in return.” You step closer, choosing to invade his space in turn as you reach for the coffee pot beside him, behind him, really, and fill up your mug once more. It’s still sitting on the counter and you’re still a half a breath away from him when you look up into his eyes and say, “Good morning, Al.” With a genuine and chipper smile, then lean against the counter next to him, still in his space. “You didn’t have to stop the music on my account, you know.” You slip your hand into the subspace in your pocket and pluck out another two eyes to drop into your cup, then take a sip, smiling wider as jazz fills the kitchen again. For a few minutes, you let silence fall between you, drinking your coffee and listening to the music. It’s surprisingly relaxing, despite what you’d expected from him. Eventually, it is you who speaks. “Do you play music on your broadcasts? Or is it mostly the screams of those who’ve wronged you these days?”

He looks pleased you’ve decided to take an interest in his work. “A little of both, though I admit I’ve had less of the delightful screams lately.” He sips his coffee. “This hotel has been a better diversion than I’d anticipated, however, so it has helped make up for the lack of entertaining content to put on the air. You should tune in, my dear, I think you’d rather enjoy it. I might even consider toning down the screams for your delicate ears.”

You chuckle, and that chuckle turns into a laugh, which becomes something too genuine to be the calculated one you had aimed for in the first place, but there’s no stopping it now, and you’re wiping away a tear as you set your mug down to avoid spilling your coffee for a moment. When you’ve finally caught your breath, you look up and he’s right there, a breath away again. “If you think I have delicate ears you don’t know me very well at all, Alastor.” Your wide smile returns in an instant. “If you knew anything about The Demon of a Thousand Eyes you’d know she loves to hear the sounds of her victims screaming while she tears out their eyes and eats them whole.” You pick up your mug again and take a sip, winking at him with the largest eye in the center of your face. “While a lot of rumors aren’t true, that one definitely is.”

Alastor opens his mouth to reply but before he can none other than Husk walks into the kitchen, hunched over and barely awake, a bottle of cheap booze already clutched between his claws. He shuffles over to the cabinet with the mugs and pulls out his, one that is orange that says, ‘Fuck Mondays’ on it. “Both a ya just gonna stand there or can I get some damn coffee?” He grunts out, then realizes how close you are, gets more uncomfortable, and backs off for a second.

You smile back at him despite his unpleasant demeanor. “No worries, it’s about time I get going anyway.” You step aside so he can squeeze in to get the coffee pot. You notice Alastor makes no move to change his position. He just watches you go, his look once again indecipherable to you. “Good morning, Husk. Good to see you again.” You tip your mug in Alastor’s direction. “I’ll see you later, Al. It was nice talking with you.”

If anything was discussed between the two of them you don’t catch it before you’re out the door of the kitchen. Out in the lobby again, you see Charlie, who apparently is a morning person, chipper and eager to greet the day. Vaggie looks like she barely stumbled out of bed, on the other hand, and has her usual if not grim, then dour expression on her face. Sir Pentious is here too, looking awake but not nearly as bright eyed and bushy tailed as Charlie. He’s surrounded by his little egg minions.

“Good morning, everyone.” You wave as you walk into the room. “Where’s Angel?”

“Good morning, Theia!” She replies with nearly unbridled enthusiasm. “He had to work this morning.” Charlie says easily, like Angel isn’t being tortured at this very moment. Just then you realize how little she knows of his predicament.

“Well I hope work goes…as well as it can given the circumstances and that he’ll be able to join us later.” You say with a tight smile. You walk over to Sir Pentious. “I don’t think we ever formally met.” You set your coffee mug down on the table and then pull your hairpin out of your hair to lengthen it into a cane, hand out for him to shake. “Everyone calls me ‘Theia’, The Demon of a Thousand Eyes.”

He takes your hand and kisses it with his snake tongue. It’s a little wet but not altogether unpleasant. He bows deeply. “Pleased to meet you, Theia!” He declares excitedly. “What do you think of my airship?”

“I like the design, but you probably surmised that from my love of eyes and eye motifs.” You replied easily. “The mechanics could use a bit of improvement but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t a good attempt. It might be more practical as a means of travel than as a combat weapon though. At that size it is vulnerable to attacks given its lack of durability and stealth. I’d be happy to show you some suggestions I have, though I can’t guarantee any success as I’m not familiar with large weaponry or mechanics.”

“I’d be honored to hear your advice!” Sir Pentious proclaims.

At the same time, Vaggie growls out, “No weapons in the hotel!” You’re not sure that Sir Pentious heard. If he did, he doesn’t seem to care.

You see Husk coming out of the kitchen, grumbling about something as he pours his bottle of cheap booze into his coffee. He goes and sits behind the bar instead of joining the rest of you.

The egg bois, as Sir Pentious calls them, decide to speak up.

“How many eyes do you have?”

“Do all your eyes have eyelids?”

“Do they all have eyebrows?”

“Are all those eyes yours?”

“If you wore glasses, how many would you need?”

“Do you see one picture or a bajillion?”

They are all hopping about as Sir Pentious scolds them. “Enough, minions! Do not bombard the pretty lady with so many questions! I must apologize, on their behalf, Theia. My minions are a little insane.”

“Don’t worry about it, Sir Pentious. I don’t mind questions from curious minds. I wink they make excellent pupils.” You reply. As you crouch down to their level, you swear you hear a slight buzz of radio static behind you, and then you see Alastor emerge from the kitchen. “I have twenty-nine eyes. They all have eyelids and can blink independently. Only the ones on my face have eyebrows, so seven of them do. They’re all mine, though I do enjoy eating the eyes of others who have wronged me or wronged those I care about. If I were to need glasses, I’d need fourteen pairs and a monocle.” You chuckle. “Rana would have loved that question if she were here with us. I’ll have to remember to tell her about that one. And lastly, bajillion isn’t a real number but to answer the point of your question, I do see the world as one big image. My version just has way more angles than yours does and I can see behind me at the same time that I see in front of me.”

“Who’s Rana?” Charlie asks curiously.

“Oh she’s one of my dearest friends. She’s an imp who lives and works in Imp City. She hoards eyewear. She doesn’t have any reason for wearing them; she’s got perfect vision. She just likes the frames.”

“I can see why the two of you would get along.” Vaggie says with a small smile. It’s the first time you’ve ever seen her smile.

You smile back at her, and it’s genuine for once. “Yeah I’ve known her for years. She’s awfully busy with work and helping manage my souls, so we only see each other once a week. Speaking of which, I’ll see her on Wednesday, so I won’t be here in the afternoon for anything you might have planned, Charlie.”

She smiles brightly back at you, declaring, “That’s alright, Theia, but I’ll be sure to make a note of it! We don’t have to do anything major these first couple of days, as we’re really just getting to know each other, which can be its own form of bonding.”

“So what’s the plan for today, then?” You ask her as you shrink the cane back to a hairpin, put it back in your hair, and pick up your mug of coffee, taking a sip and letting one of the eyes fall into your mouth as you sit down in what you’ve decided is your spot on the couch. You realize you haven’t seen Niffty yet but assume she’s running around in the hotel somewhere.

“Well,” Charlie begins as she claps her hands together once. “Since this is the first day for both of you and Angel isn’t here, I figured we’d do something simple. The ultimate goal of our hotel is redemption, and I realize that you don’t think you can be redeemed, Theia, but I think you can. While I know you’re not comfortable talking about why you think so yet, I hope you will be soon. The best way I can think of for you to be more comfortable doing that is to make you feel more welcome and understood. That’s why I made the mugs for you both for example.” She gestured to your coffee mug that you were sipping from.

You smile back at her. “I thought that was you.” You smile as you take another sip. “Thank you Charlie. The sentiment was very sweet.”

“You don’t like it.”

You take her hand, then, not wanting to see her cry. Her tears always made you sadder. “No, I love it. Optometry was a nice direction to lean into. I’m just very picky about my eye puns. It’s not your fault. You couldn’t possibly have known that. The most important thing to me is that it came from you.”

She sniffles and wipes away the tears that had been threatening to escape. “Really?”

“Absolutely. Your heart went into it. That makes it worth more than money could eye.” You wink your large eye in the center of your face, and she giggles. Mission accomplished, you think. “Plus I’m sure Sir Pentious will really like his.”

“Oh?” SIr Pentious asks curiously from the chair next to you. “What does mine say?”

“It has a picture of a snake and it says, ‘Don’t Hiss Me Off.’” You smile, amused, as you sip your coffee.

“Oh, that is a good one!” Sir Pentious brightens, delighted to be included. “It’s in the kitchen? Should I go get it? I don’t drink much coffee…”

“You don’t have to use it now if you don’t want to, Sir Pentious.” Charlie explains with a smile. “I just wanted you to be able to have it in case you wanted it, since the rest of us have them. Are there any other ways that you can think of that would make you feel as if you were more a part of this group we’re creating?”

You could treat Angel like he’s actually a part of this group. You think but decide not to share. Instead, you say, “I’m not really sure. I’ve never been a part of any group before. I’ve always stuck to myself for the most part.”

“Even while you were alive?” Charlie asks, surprised.

You blink, surprised at the question, and keep a well-trained smile on your face. No one has ever asked you about life before ending up down here, in Pentagram City, in Hell. “Even while I was up there, I was pretty much on my cone. I had family, sure, but I didn’t really have lens. I stuck to myself, until I ended up down here.” You shrug. “I’m just not much of a people person I guess.”

“What about you, Sir Pentious?” Charlie asks curiously.

He also looks startled. You feel a little better that you weren’t the only one surprised by this question. “I mostly was in my laboratory with my inventions.” He looks down at his hands. “I was much of an outcast as well.”

“Well that’s something you have in common then!” Charlie says, and you suspect that it is hard to break her of her eternal optimism. “It’s also part of why you’re here. Part of redemption is about being able to be vulnerable with others, to be willing to let them into your life. I know that might be a little difficult to begin with, but with some effort I know we can do it!”

You imagine that her relentless optimism can be grating if listened to for too long, but in small doses at the right time it could be highly beneficial. “I admire your optimism, Charlie.” You say to her, because it’s true.

If possible, she seems to brighten even more. A part of you is worried she’ll simply explode from such sheer joy. “I admire your amiability.” She says. “Oooh, that’s a great idea! Let’s go around and say one thing we admire about someone else, someone we don’t know well, and then they say something they admire about you! This was the perfect example!” Charlie divides the group up and coaxes Husk from the bar to join as you’ll need a sixth person to complete the groups of pairs, as Angel isn’t present and Niffty is who knows where in the hotel. He grumbles but agrees after Alastor shoots him a look. “Here are the teams: I’ll be with Sir Pentious. Vaggie, you’ll be with Alastor, and Husk and Theia will be a team. Now we’re going to take a little time to get to know each other before we meet back here to tell the group what we discovered we admire about the other person. Feel free to go elsewhere in the hotel to talk and get to know one another! We’ll meet back up in an hour!”

You’re relieved to not be teamed up with Alastor for this exercise, because as much as you’d love to hear him try to explain what he admires about you, you really don’t have the heart to open up to him and actually talk about yourself for an entire hour.

Husk gives you a look that isn’t unfriendly but isn’t thrilled either. You take it as it is and walk towards the bar, assuming that’s where he’ll want to go. He gives you a raised eyebrow but smiles softly. You finish your coffee, and chewing the second eyeball, set your mug on the bar counter. “So Husk,” You say as you stare at the rim of your mug awkwardly. “You want to go first or should I?” He’s standing behind the bar, not sure what to do either.

“Would ordering a drink make this easier?” He offers, gesturing around him.

You huff out a chuckle. “Yeah, sure, I don’t usually drink this early, but I guess it would help.”

“What’s your poison?” He says with his bartender charm.

“Whiskey’s fine. Just as long as it’s not Alastor’s personal stuff.” You reach into your pocket and into the jar in your room and pull out another two eyes.

He sets down a glass. “Ice?” He offers.

You decline. “Eyes are all the rocks I need.” You smirk, and drop the eyes inside.

Grimacing, he pours the whiskey in the glass and the eyeballs float to the top as it fills. You let it breathe for a moment, then take a sip. The burn in your throat is delightful, just what you were looking for to help you relax.

“Let’s pretend for a moment that instead of this whole ‘exercise’ Charlie has put for us to complete, that it’s just the two of us drinking together, swapping stories, yeah? That way there’s no pressure. So, why did you decide to come to drink today?”

“Why do I feel like I need a drink?” You ask, as if that had been the question he’d asked. “Rosie thinks that I don’t have friends, that living the way I am is unhealthy. I know she’s right, but I’m not good at making friends, and my life, up there or down here, has never been great.” You take a sip, savoring the burn. “I came here for Rosie, not for redemption.” You scoff. “Redemption. I mean, sure, in a hypothetical reality where redemption is possible, I can see some sinners getting redeemed. But for me? It’s not possible.”

“So you value your commitment to the friends that you do have, and from what I see you’re willing to try to open up to have more.” Husk smiles at you and drinks from his bottle. “That’s more than you think, kid. That’s pretty important.”

You smile back at him. He really is a good bartender. “And what about you, Mr. Bartender? I’d ask you the same question but I know you’re an alcoholic.” He looks surprised, eyes you strangely, but you wave a hand dismissively as you take another sip of your whiskey. “You put it in your coffee this morning, and not some fancy Irish Coffee either. Cheap booze. That’s alcoholism at its finest.” You say with a shrug. “So what made you turn to alcohol in the first place?”

“That’s one hell of a loaded question, kid.” Husk gruffly replies and takes a swig, finishing the bottle. He pulls another one out and pops it open, taking a swig of the fresh one almost immediately. “It ain’t exactly a short story, and we barely know each other.”

“It doesn’t have to be everything.” You reply as you take a swig. “I just need something to latch onto about you that I can see as admirable.”

A laugh emerges from his lips in the way that a hiccup does, unplanned and foreign. It’s bitter, unhappy. “There ain’t nothin’ admirable about me, kid. I’m old, I’ve lost everything and everyone worth anything to me, and I am stuck behind this bar for the foreseeable future. No one owns your soul, right kid?”

“No one owns my soul, no. I’m assuming Alastor owns yours.” You reply as you take a drink, letting one of the eyeballs, green this time, fall into your mouth. He gives you a look of surprise, and you chew and swallow before you continue. “One of the many traits of having so many eyes is I end up being incredibly observant. I’ve seen the way the two of you look at each other. You don’t do something until he tells you to, and then you do it whether you want to or not. It’s pretty obvious behavior if someone is familiar with the concept and is actively receptive to the idea.”

“I lost everything to him in a game I was sure I’d win. I’m not sure if Lady Luck turned on me that night or if I was just too cocky to think I’d lose, but I lost and I lost and I lost until there wasn’t anything left to lose, until I was too desperate to not offer up my soul, desperate and hopeful I’d win again. And now I’m here.” He sighs, and drinks a large swig of his bottle, taking a few gulps.

Your eyes widen. “Wait, I thought I recognized you. You were an overlord once, weren’t you? You had that casino, right?” You smile softer, feeling a little nostalgic. “I always thought that place looked so pretty. Clean, too. Reputable. Good staff. I wondered what happened to the place. Guess that makes sense; if Alastor won everything he wouldn’t have a need for you to keep it up and running.” You swirl the remaining eyeball around in your glass. “You still have admirable traits, Husk. You’re resilient, for one. Sure, you’re drinking yourself into a stupor and have to deal with Alastor as a boss, but you’re still trying to keep on keeping on even as the outlook of your future looks grim. That’s more than I can say for myself.”

“Thanks, kid.” He says with a smile, one wider than you’ve seen from him before.

You raise your glass to him. “To resilience.”

He raises his bottle. “To integrity.”

You don’t clink your glass and bottle, but you drink, letting the eyeball fall into your mouth, chew and swallow. You sip slowly and finish your glass. Husk asks you if you’re any good at cards and you tell him you know how to play some types, but with as many eyes as you have you have never been very good. He laughs as he understands how revealing eyes can be as a tell.

Before long, Charlie is saying that it’s time to wrap up and come back. Husk tells you to leave the glass on the counter, that he’ll take care of it later, and the two of you head back to the circle at Charlie’s behest. Alastor is sitting in one chair, Sir Pentious across from him in the other. Charlie is sitting on one side of the couch, Vaggie in the middle, and you’re sitting on the other side. Husk elects to stand until Alastor gives him a look, so he sits on the floor. You hold in a sigh but give him an understanding look. He gives you a small one back in return.

“So who would like to share what they learned that they admire about the other person?” Charlie asks, and when no one volunteers, she says, “Okay, I’ll go first! I learned that I admire Sir Pentious’ ingenuity! His desire to create inventions leaves something to be admired! Sir Pentious, what would you say you learned about me that you admire?”

Sir Pentious straightens his tie nervously. “Well I wanted to say your optimism but Theia already said that so I felt that wouldn’t be a fair choice.” He looks at you and you give him a sheepish expression. He smiles back at you, so it is clear he isn’t hurt by that, or at least you hope that is his intent. “So I settled on your dedication to your belief in redemption, despite what others may say or think on the matter. Having the belief in helping others is a strong quality.”

Charlie blushes, beaming widely. “My goodness, Sir Pentious, how kind! Thank you for sharing! Vaggie, would you like to go next? What did you find admirable about Alastor?”

“Alastor and I didn’t talk much. I wasn’t interested in conversation and I knew he was just going to needle me into saying something that I wouldn’t unless I was angry.” Charlie looks disappointed, but she pushes forward, saying, “That doesn’t mean I don’t know what I find admirable about him. Despite not agreeing with almost all of his actions and ideas, he does have one good quality. He is incredibly tenacious. Sure, he uses that for whatever conniving bullshit he’s planning, but at its core, determination and dedication to a goal is an admirable one.”

“My, my I didn’t know you had it in you.” Alastor croons, his head in his hand. “What I have learned to admire about Vagatha,”

You hear Vaggie mutter, “Not my name, but okay,” Under her breath.

Alastor gives her a look, but continues, “is her reliability. I know that what I expect from her as a response, she will give, and as an action, she will do. It makes it easy to understand her.”

“That’s not exactly the point of the exercise, Alastor, but I guess I can take that as an answer?” Charlie says with uncertainty. Vaggie glares at Alastor. He just grins smugly, as she continues to prove his point. “What about Husk and Theia? What did you learn about each other?”

“I learned that Husk is resilient.” You smile at him. “Despite all he’s been through, he’s still pushing through. That’s very admirable.” You decide not to elaborate, in case Alastor may take offense to you knowing about their relationship dynamic.

Husk seems to understand, sending you what you interpret to be an appreciative smile. “I learned that Theia has integrity. When she makes a promise to those she cares about, even outside of the confines of a deal, she feels not only obligated to carry out what she promised, but does so with purpose.”

Charlie claps, her eyes shining. “Looks like you’re already on your way to getting to know each other! I’m so glad we could do this exercise together! Now I’m sure you’re all hungry, so let’s take some time to break for lunch!”

You look at her curiously. “Is there a plan for lunch, or is this an individual activity?”

“Ooh, a lunch activity! That’s a good idea for the future, Theia; I’ll add it to my list! No, I didn’t have anything planned. You can see what’s in the kitchen, or you can leave the hotel to find something else to eat if you’d like. We have plenty of time for you to go far, even. I was thinking maybe we’d hold off on another activity today and wait for Angel to come back, meet tomorrow.”

“Alright, sounds good.” You debate on taking a trip to Cannibal Town to one of the cafes, but find yourself uninterested in either the long walk or the attention of using your powers.

Reaching into your pocket you decide to grab a handful of eyeballs instead. That should be enough to satiate you for now. As you do so, however, you feel a tug on your arm. You yelp in surprise. Through the eyes on your wrist, you see Niffty tugging on your hand. Everyone turns to look at you in alarm. “Oh, sorry about the spectacle. There’s, um, just a little situation I need to take care of upstairs.” You look at them sheepishly and awkwardly slink away, walking quickly up the stairs, hand pulled tight into your pocket. Something or someone has a firm grasp on your hand and won’t let go.

When you approach your door, you use your other hand to unlock it. Niffty is still holding tightly to your hand that is above the jar, floating in space coming out of the black void. “I caught a hand stealing your eyeballs, Miss Theia!” She exclaims. “I won’t have anyone stealing what doesn’t belong to them, not in my hotel!”

You smile softly at her, but wince as she yanks on your hand. “Niffty, that’s my hand.” You explain easily. “Those are my eyes on the hand’s wrist.”

She looks at you and blinks, confused. “It is?”

You nod. “It’s a subspace portal I put up so I can reach through my pocket and get into my jar of eyes. See, I’ll squeeze your hand.” You do, and she smiles softly.

“Oh my goodness, I apologize, Miss Theia! I didn’t realize that was your hand!” She lets go and scurries up to your shoulder to look you in the eye as you free your hand from the subspace. “Is there any way I can make it up to you?”

You chuckle and pat her on the head. “Don’t worry about it, Niffty, and there’s no need to call me ‘Miss Theia’. ‘Theia’ is just fine. It’s not even my real name, so there’s no need to be so formal.”

“‘Theia’ isn’t your name?” She looks at you, confused. “Why don’t you have people call you by your name?”

“Names have power. Knowing a person’s real name means knowing who they really are, and knowing who they are is a form of control. By giving people an alias I’m able to keep myself safer. Don’t worry, though. ‘Theia’ might not be my real name but it’s still a part of me. I identify with it more than my real one most of the time anyway. I certainly like it better. I chose it myself.”

“It suits you, Theia.” She says with that soft, fond smile.

“Thank you, Niffty.” You smile back. “So what were you doing in my room anyway? It was locked.”

Niffty points to the vent on the wall. “I don’t use the doors since I’m too short to reach and the bugs like to hide in the vents.” Her grin turns devious and determined. “There are so many bugs in this hotel and I will kill them all.”

“Squashing bugs can be satisfying.” You agree, thinking of how you'd like to crush Tino, and take a seat on your bed. You reach up to support her as you sit so she doesn’t fall. You don’t mind having her perched on your shoulder. It’s kind of nice, if a little odd. “Especially when those bugs have done something to wrong those you care about. Or sometimes just because it’s fun.” An idea hits you. “Climbing through the vents must lead to some awfully interesting places to visit. Anywhere you recommend I go?”

“I really like Sir’s room but that’s off limits to you. He likes it when I clean, as long as I stay away from the swamp. He doesn’t want me to fall in.” Alastor has a swamp in his room? You wonder to yourself but don’t comment. “He won’t let me in to clean his radio tower though. I bet it’s so messy there.” She pouts a little. “There are a lot of rooms in this hotel that aren’t being used. I like to chase bugs in them.”

“Do you clean the other resident’s rooms, or just Alastor’s?” You ask, curious.

“I clean the lobby, the kitchen, the hallways, and Sir’s room. I saw your hand through the vents and thought it was a bug at first. Charlie told me to stay away from Angel Dust, Husk, and her and Vaggie’s rooms after I found things they didn’t want me to see.” The devious look in her eye intrigues you, but you know better than to ask about it, at least right now.

“And where do you stay? Surely you don’t sleep in the vents.” You raise an eyebrow at her.

“Of course not, silly!” She giggles. “I sleep in the wall.”

You widen your eyes at her, confused and shocked. “What.”

“There’s a hole in the wall that the vents connect to. It’s all cozy. I have a pillow, a blanket, and a comfy mattress. I have my bug collection, my roach puppets, my art, and some pictures.”

“Surely Alastor doesn’t make you stay in a hole in the wall. Even Husk has his own room.”

“Sir offered a room to me but I liked the hole better.” She shrugs. “I asked to stay there, Theia. I like it. It’s small and homey. The rooms here are too big anyway.”

Niffty is a weird one, but I like her. You decide. “What if I decide I want to visit? I can’t exactly fit in the vents to join you.”

She brightens. “I’ve never had anyone want to visit my spot before. I’ll have to think about it. I’ve only ever used the vents. Maybe there’s another way to get to it, a way that bigger people can go.”

“Let me know, Niffty. I’d love to visit you and see your bug collection.”

“You want to see it?” She grins up at you excitedly.

“I’m always fascinated by interesting collections. Especially things that used to be alive.”

“I like you.” Niffty decides, and gives you a hug.

“I like you too.” You hug her back.

“Thank you for making the coffee this morning, by the way, it was delicious.”

She brightens further at that. “Of course, I make it the way Sir likes every morning. I’m glad you enjoyed it too.” She pats you on the arm and climbs down. “Glad it wasn’t a thief trying to steal your eyeballs, or worse, a nasty bug! Gotta go clean the lobby. I can smell dust.” Then she zips off at a speed that makes her seem to disappear in a blink.

“See you later, Niff!” You call, happy to have made a possible new friend. Popping a few eyeballs into your mouth, you decide that maybe you will make that trip to Cannibal Town. You’ve been eating so many eyeballs that you will soon need to restock, and you can pick up some other food while you’re there.

Maybe it’s the new connections or a change in scenery, but the idea of just pickled eyeballs for a while sounds less appealing. Maybe it’s time for a change there too.

A/N: For those of you who missed Angel this chapter, I did too! The next several chapters will take place on this same day, so there won't be Angel for a while but I promise he will return by the next 'day', though that won't be until Chapter 10 by the looks of it. I didn't anticipate spending as much time as I did on day one of this full week. This is a much longer story than I anticipated but I don't regret any of it!

At the end of Chapter 6, she decides to go to Rosie's to restock. Chapter 7 is when things get awkward, more awkward for our dear sweet, strange Theia, as Alastor not only insists on accompanying her, decides they're going to share a meal together before they go to the Emporium. Theia agrees, while suspicious. Things only get more awkward from there, and it isn't long before you suspect that this is either a trap or an unintentional date, and neither of them sound like good options for you. The food looks good though, even if Alastor is going to insist on paying and then you're going to have to feel like you have to make it up to him. Maybe you can threaten to tell Rosie about this if he refuses to let you go dutch?

All The Proposed & All The Accepted Ship Names I've Been Able To Find (DPA)

Guide/Intro:

Ship names made up by me will be in red, all the rest will be in black. Ship names made by @savebatsfromscratch will be in blue.

I found most of these on the Pokemon Shipping List "Neverending Romance" here: https://forums.bulbagarden.net/index.php?threads/neverending-romance-the-shipping-list-revival.273465/

...But since the forums might get deleted soon I decided to make this insane list. I'm not joking this took me hours trying to find everything.

Characters not from/in DPA will have their fandom abbreviation along with their name. Some have two if two versions of the character could reasonably go in the ship, specifically if the Pokemon Anime form of the character makes the most sense but it could also be the games character.

PKSP = Pokemon Special/Pokemon Adventures

Pokeani = Pokemon Anime

ReBURST = Pokemon ReBURST

PKMN 7 = Pokemon 7

PKMN = Pokemon Games or just generally the character, no specific forms.

Please note that a lot of these ships are crack ships and I couldn't find any real fan-content of them.

Also fair warning for age gap, debatably incest, and human x pokemon ships! There aren't a ton of them, but I wasn't going to cut them out just because they might not be typical, happy ships.

Main Five x Main Five:

Mitsumi x Jun - LakeAcuityShipping

Mitsumi x Hareta - DumbLuckShipping

Mitsumi x Koya - GreenishSubstituteShipping (Based on the logic that Mitsumi is a substitute for Dawn or Platinum and Koya ends up substituting for Jun. Also, their hair colors combined would be greenish.)

Mitsumi x B2 - GalacticAdventureShipping

Jun x Hareta - AbsurdlyClingyshipping (A mix between Lucas x Barry, Clingyshippy, and Diamond x Pearl, Absurdistshipping.)

Jun x Koya - FirstAndSecondShipping (They are the first and second rivals of Hareta's shown in the series.)

Jun x B2 - FlatCheeksShipping (She didn't explain this one but I assume it's because B2 is known for his butt and Jun's is... flat.)

Hareta x Koya - YuujouShipping 

Hareta x B2 - ButtiesShipping 

Koya x B2 - OpposingBehindShipping (They have opposing ideologies and the classic butt joke for B2 was needed.)

Mitsumi x Jun x Hareta x Koya - DPAdventureShipping (All four of the main protagonists.)

Mitsumi x Jun x Hareta - DialgaShipping

Jun x Hareta x Koya - BoysTimesThreeShipping (The 3 male protagonists in DPA.)

A Visit to Hyrule

In the land called Hyrule, Noelle looked out across the landscape. Beautiful emerald fields stretched a great distance. To the south, a dense forest. To the west, the lush grass gives way to what appears to be rocky highlands. To the north lay a large castle and surrounding town, and further north, ice-capped mountains. To the east, the plans roll into gentle hills which climb in elevation until they fold into foothills nestled in the shadow of a great peak shrouded in an ashen cloud.

Her curiosity tugged at her to visit the castle town, but she didn’t want to deviate from the advice she was given by the great sword spirit. This was their realm, and they had centuries of experience. With that in mind, she headed east. In the distance, she could see the road lead through a low pass of a great mountain that seemed cleaved in two. An eye-catching landmark that made navigating easy, even from so far away.

A little walking through the field and the short mage finds herself on a road passing what looks to be a pleasant ranch. Large, healthy-looking cows are out to graze, while further afield, a small herd of horses does the same. Noelle quietly wondered if the gift of milk she received came from cows like these, or if there was some alchemy that resulted in the power that beverage held.

Some time later, she arrived to a stone bridge, spanning the width of a great river. The source looked to be somewhere in the eastern mountains, rather than the snow-capped ones to the north. Perhaps she could go and visit the headwaters when she had finished her pilgrimage.

After crossing the bridge, however, she felt it was time for a little break. Under the shade of a tree near the river’s edge, she sat down and took out some dried meat and some cheese to nibble on as she relaxed and took in the view. She could see the fish under the surface of the crystal-clear water. Some looked like any other fish she was familiar with. Others had scales of brilliant blue and red in patterns she had never seen in wild fish. Perhaps on her visit to the headwaters she could indulge in a little fishing?

During her respite, she checked her bags again. She knew the currency of this realm was some manner of gemstone-looking shards called rupees. While she didn’t have any, she did have a small sack of gems she hoped would suffice. Some emeralds, a couple rubies and sapphires. Of course, she wasn’t unprepared, either. Before she left, she brewed a few simple potions and tinctures. While nothing special, she might be able to barter with them if she needed payment for anything. She also brought her alchemy kit, but since she didn’t know the properties of the local plan life, it might not be something she can rely on. Perhaps fishing wouldn’t be the worst substitute to pay for a place to sleep.

Her concerned eased, she finished her light meal and packed up her things before she stood up and continued down the eastern road.

Affordable Engagement Rings: Crafting Your Love Story Without Breaking the Bank

Finding the perfect engagement ring is an exciting journey, but navigating the associated costs can feel overwhelming. For many, an engagement ring symbolises love, commitment, and personal style.

However, the price of a ring doesn't necessarily reflect the depth of your feelings; you can find an engagement ring that suits your budget while still capturing the essence of your unique love story.

Understanding Gemstone Alternatives

While diamonds have long been viewed as the quintessential choice for engagement rings, there are numerous exquisite alternatives that can help you stay within budget. Sapphires, for example, are known for their durability and come in various colours, making them perfect for those seeking a distinctive look.

Moissanite, another popular diamond substitute, possesses remarkable brilliance and fire, often outshining its traditional counterpart for a fraction of the price. Other options, such as morganite, aquamarine, and even lab-created diamonds, offer beauty and uniqueness without the hefty price tag associated with natural diamonds.

Shifting your focus away from diamonds opens up a world of possibilities, allowing you to choose a ring that resonates personally and is often more budget-friendly. Each gemstone carries its own symbolism and allure—consider the options carefully to select one that reflects your love story.

Budgeting: How Much Should You Spend?

Determining a budget is one of the most critical steps in the engagement ring shopping process. Many traditional guidelines suggest spending a specific amount based on your salary; however, the ideal budget varies for each individual or couple depending on their financial situation and priorities. Begin by discussing your financial comfort zone openly with your partner. Consider not just the ring but any upcoming expenses related to your wedding or future plans.

A practical budget allows you to explore various options without feeling financially strained. Many couples find that setting a realistic budget enables them to appreciate the process and make informed decisions without rushing or succumbing to unnecessary pressure. Remember that the true value of your engagement ring lies in its significance rather than its price.

Exploring Shopping Options

When it comes to finding affordable engagement rings, a plethora of shopping options are available. Online retailers such as Blue Nile and James Allen provide transparency in pricing, offering competitive rates and extensive selections. These platforms allow you to browse collections and compare prices while also providing detailed information about gemstones and settings. Seasonal promotions and discounts may also be available, helping you secure a better deal.

If you prefer an in-person experience, visit local jewellers who offer diverse selections. Building a relationship with a trusted jeweller can lead to personalised service and access to exclusive designs. Many small businesses are open to negotiations and may even provide custom designs tailored to your specifications—ensuring you leave with a unique ring that resonates with your story.

Customisation: Make It Unique

Customising your engagement ring is an exceptional way to create a piece that represents your relationship while remaining budget-conscious. Many jewellers offer custom design services, allowing you to choose everything from the gemstone to the band. Customisation can help you control costs; by selecting specific elements within your budget, you can design a ring that fits your vision without financial strain.

Personal touches can include adding meaningful engravings, incorporating symbolic stones that represent milestones in your relationship, or selecting unique settings that differentiate your ring from conventional styles. Couples who embrace customisation often find deeper significance in their rings, transforming them into cherished heirlooms that tell their love story.

Maintaining Your Engagement Ring

Once you've found your dream engagement ring, taking proper care of it is essential to maintain its beauty and longevity. Regular cleaning, using a gentle solution and soft brush, can keep your ring sparkling. If your ring features intricate settings or multiple stones, consider professional cleaning or maintenance at least once a year to prevent damage or dullness.

Furthermore, investing in insurance or a warranty for your ring is wise. This coverage provides peace of mind against loss, theft, or unforeseen repairs, allowing you to enjoy your ring without worry.

Upgrading Your Ring Over Time

As your relationship progresses, you may find yourself considering upgrades to your engagement ring. This desire can stem from various life milestones—be it anniversaries, the growing family, or simply a wish to celebrate your journey together. Many jewellers offer upgrade programs that allow you to replace the centre stone, add additional gemstones, or enhance the band as your budget expands.

The beauty of an engagement ring lies not only in its initial design but also in how it can evolve alongside your love story. Upgrading your ring signifies growth and change in your relationship, reflecting the shared experiences and memories you create together.

Conclusion

Choosing an affordable engagement ring is not only achievable but also an experience filled with meaning and joy. By understanding the options available—whether through gemstone alternatives, setting realistic budgets, or customising designs—you can discover a stunning ring that embodies your love story without financial stress.

Approach your search with an open heart, and remember to celebrate the sentiment behind the ring—the promise and the dreams shared within your relationship.

Diamond Alternatives: Exploring Moissanite and Other Gemstones

Introduction

When it comes to choosing the perfect gemstone for your jewelry, diamonds have long been the go-to choice. However, many people are now exploring diamond alternatives that offer beauty, durability, and affordability. Moissanite and other gemstones are gaining popularity as excellent substitutes for diamonds, each with its unique characteristics and appeal. In this blog, we'll explore these diamond alternatives and provide jewelry care instructions to help you keep your pieces looking their best.

Moissanite: The Sparkling Diamond Alternative

What Is Moissanite? Moissanite is a gemstone that closely resembles diamonds in appearance but has its own unique properties. Discovered in a meteor crater, this stone has a higher refractive index than diamonds, which means it can exhibit even more brilliance and fire.

Why Choose Moissanite?

Affordability: Moissanite is significantly less expensive than diamonds, making it an attractive option for those looking for luxurious jewelry on a budget.

Durability: With a hardness rating of 9.25 on the Mohs scale, moissanite is nearly as hard as diamonds, making it suitable for everyday wear.

Ethical and Sustainable: Moissanite is lab-grown, ensuring that it is free from the ethical and environmental concerns associated with diamond mining.

Jewelry Care Instructions for Moissanite To keep your moissanite jewelry sparkling, clean it regularly with warm soapy water and a soft brush. Avoid harsh chemicals and ultrasonic cleaners, which can damage the stone. Store moissanite jewelry in a soft pouch to prevent scratches.

Other Diamond Alternatives

1. Sapphire

Sapphires are a popular alternative to diamonds, known for their stunning blue hues, though they also come in other colors. With a hardness rating of 9 on the Mohs scale, sapphires are durable and suitable for everyday wear.

Jewelry Care Instructions for Sapphire Clean your sapphire jewelry with mild soapy water and a soft cloth. Avoid exposure to harsh chemicals, as they can damage the stone. Store sapphire pieces separately to avoid scratching other gemstones.

2. Ruby

Rubies, with their rich red color, are another excellent diamond alternative. Like sapphires, rubies are durable, with a hardness rating of 9, making them perfect for engagement rings and other jewelry pieces.

Jewelry Care Instructions for Ruby Use warm soapy water and a soft brush to clean ruby jewelry. Avoid exposing rubies to heat or harsh chemicals. Store rubies in a separate compartment or a soft pouch to prevent damage.

3. Emerald

Emeralds are prized for their vibrant green color and unique charm. However, they are softer than diamonds, with a hardness rating of 7.5-8, which means they require more careful handling.

Jewelry Care Instructions for Emerald Clean emerald jewelry with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners and exposure to high heat or harsh chemicals, as emeralds can be prone to cracking. Store emerald jewelry separately in a padded box to protect it from damage.

4. Morganite

Morganite, a member of the beryl family, is known for its delicate pink or peachy hues. It’s a softer gemstone, with a hardness of 7.5-8, making it a beautiful yet affordable alternative to diamonds.

Jewelry Care Instructions for Morganite Clean morganite jewelry gently with warm soapy water and a soft brush. Avoid harsh chemicals and ultrasonic cleaners. Store morganite pieces in a separate pouch or compartment to prevent scratches.

Choosing the Right Diamond Alternative

When selecting a diamond alternative, consider factors like color, durability, and personal style. Each gemstone offers its own unique beauty and characteristics, allowing you to choose a piece that reflects your personality and values.

Conclusion

Exploring diamond alternatives like moissanite, sapphire, ruby, emerald, and morganite can open up a world of possibilities for your jewelry collection. These gemstones offer stunning beauty and durability at a fraction of the cost of diamonds, making them excellent choices for those seeking something unique and affordable. With proper jewelry care instructions, you can ensure that your gemstone jewelry remains radiant and beautiful for years to come.

Cocktails in Cambridge | Brook Indian Pub Cocktails

With summer officially here, we could all use a little extra time to relax outside with a refreshing drink, basking in the sun. Locals know and love the cocktails served at Brook Indian Pub since they are among the best in town. The majority of our neighbourhood regulars frequent the bar for our handcrafted cocktails. Stop by the Brook Indian Gastro Pub this summer for the most authentic Indian cuisine and a wide selection of intriguing cocktails, ales, beers, gins, and spirits. 

Best Cocktails in Cambridge

Blue Hawaiian Mai Thai:

Blue Hawaiian:

Traditional ingredients for the Blue Hawaiian include pineapple juice, coconut cream, white rum, and blue curaçao liqueur. Its most distinctive features are its bright blue hue and sweet, fruity flavour. Tropical or warm-weather events, including beach parties, poolside get-togethers, or vacation resorts, are ideal for sipping this cocktail. Many people use it for summer parties or to feel like they're in a tropical paradise because it is colourful and refreshing.

Mai Tai:

The Mai Tai has a long and storied history; it was popularised at tiki bars after having its roots in Polynesian culture. Rum (often a blend of light and dark varieties), lime juice, orange liqueur (like curaçao or triple sec), and orgeat syrup are the customary ingredients. The intricate combination of citrus, almond, and rum flavours in a Mai Tai makes it a signature drink. You should have one of these cocktails as a relaxing evening cappuccino or after supper. The exoticism and tranquillity that a Mai Tai brings to any occasion make it perfect for cocktail parties, informal get-togethers, or anytime you're in the mood for a tropical treat.

Tropical flavours abound in both drinks, but their cultural connotations and actual tastes couldn't be more different. When craving a tropical getaway, nothing beats a Blue Hawaiian or a Mai Tai—two of the world's most popular tropical cocktails. Whether entertaining guests at a summer party, relaxing by the pool, or wanting a little island flavour, these cocktails will satisfy your thirst.

Bombay Spiced Mary:

The original Bloody Mary recipe calls for vodka, tomato juice, and various seasonings and spices; this "Bombay Spiced Mary" takes a somewhat different approach. The name "Bombay" alludes to substituting Bombay Sapphire gin for vodka, which gives the classic recipe a botanical and aromatic touch.

Like the classic Bloody Mary, the Bombay Spiced Mary is an adaptable drink that works well for various events. Here are a few examples of when it could be helpful:

Brunch-

A Bombay Spiced Mary or any Bloody Mary will surely be a brunch crowd-pleaser. The savoury and spicy flavours enhance breakfast foods like eggs benedict, omelettes, and delicious crepes.

Daytime Events-

Bombay Spiced Marys' rich and refreshing profile makes them perfect for daytime occasions like garden parties, picnics, or weddings.

Social Gatherings-

When you want to wow your guests with a savoury and refined cocktail, serve them Bombay Spiced Marys.

Watermelon Martini-

When you're craving something light and summery, or when the weather is warm, whip up a Watermelon Martini. It's a delicious and delightful beverage. In these circumstances, in particular, a Watermelon Martini is delightful:

Summer parties-

Summer barbecues, pool parties, and beach picnics are perfect for watermelon martinis. Watermelon's mild flavour is great for hot weather.

Outdoor Events-

Serve watermelon martinis at concerts, festivals, and rooftop parties. The delicious, bright cocktail brings summer enjoyment to outdoor events.

Girls' Night In-

Enjoy Watermelon Martinis while watching films, playing games or hanging out with pals on a girls' night in. Its sweet, refreshing taste makes watermelon popular among friends.

Palm Beach:

The term "Palm Beach" does not refer to a particular kind of cocktail but rather to a generic term that, depending on the mixologist or barman, can describe several different beverages. The word "Palm Beach" may conjure images of the posh Florida vacation town, but in a cocktail context, it could mean tranquilly, opulence, and the tropics.

Keeping that in mind, I've come up with a few ideas for when a "Palm Beach" cocktail would be appropriate:

At the Pool or on the Beach-

Imagine yourself soaking up some rays and feeling the salt air on your skin in a plush cabana by the pool or beach. Enjoying your downtime in such an environment would be much more enjoyable with a Palm Beach cocktail.

Summer Break-

Drinking a Palm Beach drink can take you to a place of peace and luxury, whether on a tropical vacation to a faraway island or just relaxing in your backyard.

Luxurious Hotel or Ski Resort-

An elegant Palm Beach cocktail perfectly matches your opulent setting at a five-star resort or hotel with its verdant palm trees, powdery white sand beaches, and discreet butler service.

Formal Occasions or Festivities-

Palm Beach might conjure images of fancy parties, lavish soirées, or high-class gatherings. Try serving a classic Palm Beach cocktail at these events for an air of refined elegance.

Evening Cocktails-

Picture this: as the sun sets over the horizon, a beautiful display of sunset colours—pink, orange, and gold—reflects off the ocean. One way to enhance this once-in-a-lifetime event and make memories that will last a lifetime is to sip on a Palm Beach drink.

Slow Comfortable Screw:

A drink called the "Slow Comfortable Screw" is made with sloe gin, Southern Comfort, vodka, and orange juice; its name is a little oblique. Because of the powerful blend of components, it is usually regarded as a strong drink, which could affect the timing and manner of consumption.

In the following cases, a Slow, Comfortable Screw could be a good choice:

Relaxed Get-togethers:

Relaxed social events like outdoor BBQs, game evenings, or casual parties could call for this cocktail. Perfect for laid-back get-togethers, thanks to its high alcohol level and fruity taste.

Cocktail Parties:

One possible speciality cocktail to serve at a cocktail party or event themed on mixed beverages is the Slow Comfortable Screw. Because of this, the menu is more exciting and gives customers more options to sample.

Late-Night Drinks:

The name and strength of the Slow Comfortable Screw suggest it could be a good choice for a nightcap at a club or bar. You might ask for this cocktail if you are craving something robust and savoury.

Brunch:

For some, brunch calls for a fruitier, sweeter cocktail, and the Slow Comfortable Screw might be just the thing. Its orange juice base is traditional for brunch drinks, but the sloe gin, Southern Comfort, and vodka kick it.

After-Dinner Drink: 

It is possible to have a Slow Comfortable Screw as a digestif following a meal, as is the case with many cocktails that contain fruit juice. Its lemony sweetness can provide a nice balance to heartier fare.

Matcha Pisco Sour:

The Matcha Pisco Sour adds a novel spin to the traditional Pisco Sour beverage by incorporating matcha powder for a vivid green hue and earthy taste. Consider sipping on a Matcha Pisco Sour on the following occasions:

Cocktail Parties:

The Matcha Pisco Sour is a show-stopping choice when entertaining friends or hosting a cocktail party. Its unusual appearance and interesting taste are sure to turn heads.

Brunch:

As matcha is often used in breakfast and brunch dishes, the Matcha Pisco Sour can be an energising and refreshing option for brunch parties. Its one-of-a-kind taste complements many brunch options.

Japanese or Peruvian Nights:

One possible cocktail option for a dinner party with Japanese or Peruvian food is the Matcha Pisco Sour. An intriguing touch that enhances the flavours of both cuisines is the blending of matcha with the typical Pisco Sour ingredients.

Summer or spring afternoons:

Enjoy a Matcha Pisco Sour at a picnic, outdoor party, or just a lazy afternoon on the patio because of how refreshing it is. Its verdant hue also makes any gathering in the spring or summer more lively.

Mixology Sessions:

Making the Matcha Pisco Sour at home or in a mixology class would be interesting if you're into trying out different cocktail recipes or are interested in mixology in general. Its unusual components and preparation method provide a chance for experimentation and inventiveness.

It all comes down to personal preference and the setting when it comes to when you can enjoy a Matcha Pisco Sour. Whether you're hosting a themed dinner party, want to cool down on a hot day, or want to wow your guests with a creative cocktail, the Matcha Pisco Sour is a great choice.
