...Why would a drink made with tea have a history with guns?

Hey, there. Alright, now I just gotta... (taps the floor, intent on summoning Babbage like he wanted)

Hm... truth be told, it seems a bit unfittin'. I mean, you look like a young child, but ya obviously aren't one, and it shos when ya talk.

I don't see anythin' wrong with what ya really look like. Of course, I reckon the most important thing is bein' comfortable with yourself.

Oh, not a whole lot. Its been a pretty slow day for me.

Privateer gents.

It was like the- 20th century, Latinist. Which might be 200 years off for you, so... 18th century.

There were a few people who decided to make their fortune doing raids on trading ships- some of which carried tea. Rum was a popular beverage among them, and I don't know how it happened but in that- society of privateers, they called this drink they invented gunfire because it had a kick, and was probably taken using a gun.

Those privateers got rich enough to retire, and buy landed titles, technically elevating themselves to high society. So- rich folk started importing tea and getting rum to have a taste of it, when these ex-pirates who had managed to make themselves rich seemed to enjoy it.

And of course- what's popular in richer society will be envied by the lower classes so eventually they started drinking it too when tea became cheaper.

Pretty soon, it basically became entrenched as our national drink.

(Yes, and jesus shit those are fuckin big.)

(Looks up at the aaaaaaaaa holy shit HOLY SHIT BIG ROBOT BIG ROBOT)

(Takes a deep breath and nods, smiling politely, although you can see the fear in his eyes.)

Why yes, ah—... Yes, and you must be the Caster she mentioned. Good to meet you.

So it was just... something that pirates liked to have that everyone else picked up?

(nods, looking away from the scissors but still speaking to Assassin)

Don't worry. If he wanted to kill us, he would have launched an attack on us already.

-nods-

Anglia's a small-ish country- and the pirates were retiring and still drinking it.

Likely for nostalgic reasons.

But- yeah. That's pretty much how it spread.

everything that is said between us here will be confidential. Outsiders won't be able to notice us

-Babbage looks at Assassin, and while he does take note of the scissors he doesn't seem to give it much thought-

and it is nice to meet you as well. Since you are a fellow servant I thought it'd be best to talk things over with you before your master agreed to anything

(Glares slightly at Miyu.)

Pssht, well I knew that... I was merely not expecting the other Servant to be a robot, is all.

(Nods at Babbage.) Right, yes, and I do appreciate that very much, Caster. Shall we begin?

It's on earth.

Though geographically speaking that probably doesn't help.

There might be countries that exist for me, and nowhere else.

Doesn't sound like you're totally comfortable with it, then. Maybe it's best to try to move on from that stage in your life.

Or- was a nice place.

Certainly

I'm not sure if you've heard of the red winter threat yet, there is another caster hiding somewhere here with a contracted assassin class servant. A friend and I have been trying to hunt him down but currently he is keeping low.

Miyu here was thinking of helping but I am somewhat adverse to involving the young in such a potentially dangerous scenario
