A word of caution





Be immensely careful

Should you ingest a concoction known as a pumpkin spiced latte

[... All right he's gotta ask.]

why?

[sassymaru]

They are the most devious culinary concoctions ever created

[hippocarnival]

devious how

[sassymaru]

They lure you in with the simple pleasure of a caffeinated drink

And then they strike

laying you low with the aftershocks!!

It's just a regular fucking drink. Nothing that needs that kind of caution label thrown on it.

[sassymaru]

I would never raise false charges! The warning is extremely necessary!

[apshot]

Then what's the problem? Last I checked there's nothing threatening about some chick's autumn beverage selection.

[sassymaru]

Chick...?

This is fed to birds?

So, do you have a general thing against coffee or...?

[Like PSLs aren't Riz's favourite on account of there being way too little coffee in there, but he'll drink it if he's got nothing else.]

[sassymaru]

Only these devious lies!!

[nightyorb]

[...]

...
Dude, what?

[sassymaru]

These drinks lie.

They promise to be nothing more than a simple, delightful beverage, but do nothing but steal your energy.

Shadowmaru, are you all right? Did... did it make you sick? Spicy things can be a bit too much to handle for some people.

[Armin doesn't really go to Starmiebucks all that much, so he is not really familiar with pumpkin spice lattes. Jean isn't-- the Jean that had his own little travelling coffee shop isn't here anymore, but there is still some brand loyalty on his side. What if that Jean ever returned and asked if Armin had contributed to his greatest 'foe'? He couldn't do it.

Also, there is no Starmiebucks on his gym island, so it'd be kind of a long way to go for a cup of coffee.]

[sassymaru]

I shall never be the same again. Remember me fondly, for I am undone.

[Armin why did you ask...]

[schachmeister]

SHADOWMARU ARE YOU OKAY? DO YOU NEED A DOCTOR?

[Please don't give him a heart attack like this.]

[sassymaru]

Alas no physician can assist.

I need my energy returned to me. And my youth. Those devious drinks have stolen them both!!

Did someone do something to it? I've heard they're harmless but I haven't experienced it either. Nor do I want to if they're actually lethal. Come to think of it are you sure it wasn't a misplaced Sinistea?

Text;

[sassymaru]

Don't bother, I assure you!

They drain you of your energy and leave you a wasted husk.

[heir_conditioned]

The Sinistea or the pumpkin spice? I'm assuming you mean pumpkin spice, even if it's true of both where irresponsibly trained Sinistea are concerned.

If that's right then I'm glad you've told us all.

Why? Is there something wrong with it?

[ Fluttershy didn't really mind pumpkin spiced lattes, and would drink one occasionally. But if there is a problem with it, it's best to know now so she doesn't get one in the future. ]

[sassymaru]

They attempt to steal your energy! And your youth!

[shiningkindness]

Steal your energy?

[ She'd never heard of pumpkin spice lattes doing that before. Unless there was something different about the ones in this world? But they wouldn't sell something if it was so dangerous, would they.

...Unless... ]

Oh wait. Was the latte very sweet?

[questioneverything]

What is a pumpkin?

[sassymaru]

Ah - a round orange squash, most commonly grown in the fall.

[questioneverything]

[Oh, dear...]

I see. [Sort of.] It is a plant, I take it? And this 'squash' is a category of plants?
