Oh Amy, I didn't see you there! Or the tea things, for that matter. Thank you, I would ~love~ a cup! smiley - smiley

No, I was looking at that tall thin multi-colored thing over there. It must be the control tower for the EWR.

Have you a plate for the mbougatses? Please help yourself.

Witty Moniker

*Makes her way to the crossroads and joins Amy and Lil.*

Do I smell smiley - tea? Ah, good!

*Pours herself a cup, sits down on the ground and crosses her legs.*

But coincidence, EWR is also the designation for Newark Liberty International Airport. But the control tower there doesn't look any thing like this one.

*stands up and dusts herself off* I suppose it's getting time for us to observe the distinctions and become audience and players again. Shall we watch the other actors come through or go on ahead?
