The tea house was quite what Arizona Jack expected, and yet what he witnessed was quite unexpected. Everyone in the tea house was slurping in the most obnoxious fashion. Debutantes slurped and burped, and munched on crumbly tea cakes like ravenous pigs. Ignore it, you're here for the ancient diadem the adventurer reminded himself.
His contact, Mindy, stumbled in the door, then immediately tripped over her frilly gown. Arizona tensed as he thought for sure the meeting was compromised, but the patrons simply applauded, then resumed their noises. Mindy took her seat at the table with Arizona, and waved the waiter down. She ordered them standard drinks, then proceeded to explain the plan to retrieve the diadem, but Arizona only heard muffled noise. I'd rather be fighting a giant spider than deal with this nonsense he thought.
"Do you understand?" Mindy asked.
Arizona smiled and nodded but had no idea what she had said. Then the waiter came with their drinks, and Mindy slurped and burped the rest of the time, while Arizona winced. Eventually he couldn't take it anymore, and he abruptly stood up, took out his nun chucks, and started smashing all of the china in the establishment.
The guests applauded the commotion, and Arizona shouted, "what is wrong with you people!"
At this, the guests gave a standing ovation, driving the adventurer running out into the streets. He grabbed the tail of a passing truck, hitching a ride to anywhere that wasn't here.
Mindy watched as he sped away and mouthed "Best of luck, Zona."
