Tea Break 4 (Video)

[tea_lover64]

[Iroh gives a pleasant smile as the video opens up. In front of him there is a pai-sho board. It was time to finally time to formalize a date and setting for something he proposed awhile back]

Hello everyone, as some of you may remember, I had inquired about the interest of learning the wonderful game of pai-sho back a couple of months ago. It seemed there was at least a fair amount of interest in such a thing, so I am proceeding as if there were.

[He takes a sip of tea, placing it down delicately before continuing]

I would like to have the first learning day on the second of March. I haven't seen any holidays then, and it seems a good time for it. It will be held at the Welcome Center, and I hope that we shall have a great turn out. I humbly ask those who already are familiar with the game to come by and assist those who are learning.

[He inclines his head politely for such a request]

If anyone else would like to contribute a bit of time to help with set up, or perhaps some snacks, I would most appreciate it.

[He gives a kindly smile]

I look forward to seeing you all there, please feel free to ask any questions or concerns you may have.

[Pai Sho? ...Oh, right, that was a thing Varrick replied to last time!]

Assist those who are learning, huh? That's perfect! I'm great at assisting! [No he's not.]

[Ah the excitable man]

I would appreciate that. I need someone to help promote the event and greet people.

[Video]

[dealsinshipping]

Well, you're lookin' at the right guy! I'll promote some and greet some, then promote some more... And then I'll do both at the same time!

[markofthebrave]

I can help you set up snacks, if you like.

[tea_lover64]

Ah, yes that would be most helpful Katara, thank you. Have you learned how to play?

[markofthebrave]

I know the basic concepts, but I can't say I'm really any good.

[etherion]

Pai Sho? What's that?

[It sounds like something you can gamble with, is what it sounds like... which makes her all the more interested!]

Is it a card game or something?

[Though really, it doesn't matter to her.]

[tea_lover64]

Ah, it is a wonderful game involving tiles actually. A strategic game that has been around for quite some time on my world. It is easy to learn, difficult to truly master as there are many styles of play. Feel free to join us, there will be snacks and tutorial play.

That sounds wonderful! Should I make sure the tables are arranged in any specific way to make it easier for you and your friends to play before I leave my shift in the morning?

voice

[tea_lover64]

I think the tables should be fine as they are for the most part. You should stay and learn how to play.

Mmmmm, about what time are you expecting to hold the games? I may need to do some training and take a little nap beforehand so I don't lose too badly.

[savedtheworld]

I know I can use some lessons! And I'll help out any way I can.

[tea_lover64]

There is always room to improve. If you could bring a few snacks from the bakery, that would be most excellent.

[Video]

[savedtheworld]

Thanks, Iroh. There'll always be room to improve until I can finally beat Shikamaru!

And don't worry, I'll make sure you get the snackiest of snacks. Are there any you especially want?

[winds_voice]

Ah yes... Pai-Sho. I am not sure if I can be of any help to you but I will be sure to attend.

[If only to take his mind away from things that are obviously troubling him at present.]

[tea_lover64]

[He gives a smile]

We would of course be quite happy to have you.

[endgames]

[Oh hey, it's the PAI SHO GUY AGAIN. That's awesome.]

Count me in.

[tea_lover64]

Glad to hear it. I believe you had mentioned some experience with the game before?

[He has a vague recollection of speaking with him before]

[endgames]

Katara taught me how to play when I first got here. She let me borrow her brother's board a couple times to practice with.

I played with my sister back home, so I can at least help the beginning people!

[ It's been a while since she did, though. And she is eight. She has nothing on grand masters. ]

[tea_lover64]

Ah, thank you. That would be most helpful Ikki.

[All help was welcome, even if it might not be the most informative, she had good spirit and was very enthusiastic about well... everything really]

[breezing]

No problem!! I like to help. Also, you said there would be snacks.

[ SO SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN THERE REGARDLESS... ]

[Video]

[lostlegacy]

I'll play!

[She has no idea what pai-sho is, but it's a game, so it's gotta be fun, right?]

[Video]

[tea_lover64]

Oh, well we would certainly be glad to have you.

[lostlegacy]

What kinda game is it?
