Poisoned teacup!

Chatterbox: Down to Earth

Poisoned teacup!

Poisoned teacup!

I found this thread a while back by September, and I thought I'd remix it! Basically, I'll list lyrics from Hamilton, and you'll choose one. Each lyric stands for a teacup. Once all of the teacups have been chosen, you all will 'drink' them and I will reveal which one has been poisoned! Here we go: 

The "A million things I haven't done, but just you wait" teacup

The "WHAT TIME IS IT? SHOWIME" teacup 

The "I'm just like my country, I'm young, scrappy and hungry, and I'm not throwing away my shot!" teacup

The "and when I meet Thomas Jefferson, Ima compell him to include women in the sequel- WORK!" teacup

The "kill your friends and family, to remind you of my love" teacup

The "life doesn't discriminate between the sinners and the saints" teacup

The "TAKE A BREAK" teacup

The "I hope that you burn" teacup

The "America, you great unfinished symphony, you sent for me!" teacup 

Basically, just choose the lyric you like the most!

Fairy, I'm not sure if you know how this works. You just take one teacup, and you can only take one that isn't taken. Did you read the original post?

P.S. All the teacups you took are taken. Also, it is so weird talking to you by your CB name.

I'm SO SORRY my friends, life is hectic, my ski lodge is eating up all my writing time! Anyway, onto the reveal (I modelled it after September's, but I added my own spin onto it):

Nine CBers sat around a table laid with a silky cream colored tablecloth. Each seat was marked with a single name carved into the wood in cursive and a small note was perched in the center, reading: I will arrive at 1:00pm. Wait for me, do not touch the teacups, and notice the differences.

"What do you suppose that means?" Joan B. of Arc asked, breaking the tentative silence. "When she says to 'notice the differences'?" She studied her own teacup, careful not to touch it. It was wider and more shallow than the others, and the brown color of the tea looked drab in comparison to the bright colors painted in swirls onto the cup.

"Well, I'd guess that because all of the teacups are different," Dolphin guessed. 

"Maybe one of them has a clue as to which one is poisoned?" suggested Leo.

Every CBer leaned in closer, scanning their own cup for clues:

Sabine's teacup was a glossy pale red color (the color of Angelica's dress, she realized), and though at first glance it seemed delicate, it was in reality sturdy and strong.

Star Princesses teacup was white with red and blue music notes dancing along the sides.

Leo's teacup was the color of flame, orange, yellow, and red blending together. Leo noticed that there were cracks along the sides, as if it had been broken and rebuilt.

Kitty Cat's was taller than the others and more delicate, decorated with fancy gold and red crowns. When they looked closely, they saw the faint outline of a sword as well.

Dolphin's teacup was a mix of pale red, light blue, and dark green, not swirled or blended together but seperated with dark lines.

Neverseen's teacup was the biggest, and there really was no clear pattern to it, mainly just a jumble of colors and shapes. For whatever reason, to her, the randomness didn't bother her. She thought it made it rather unique.

MoonKitten's teacup looked banged up a little bit, parts chipped away with time or use. But the pattern was still there on the sides, faint but certain: interlocking old-timey guns.

Starchaser's cup wasn't round, but square with hard angles and decorated with shades of grey.

Suddenly, the large clock on the wall behind them rung loudly, startling quite a few of the CBers.

"It's 1:00," Kitty noticed.

Silver Crystal came striding through the doors, her white-and-silver shirt glinting in the light.

"Thank you all for coming!" she announced. "Now that I am here, you are free to drink your tea."

Leo was the first one to drink, downing it all in one gulp. The others followed suit, and soon all of the tea was gone.

"Is that it...?" MoonKitten asked, setting her teacup down. Silver stayed silent.

And then, Neverseen pitched forwards and gasped, collapsing onto the floor. A gasp came from a few of the CBers, but Silver was already waving her hands, spiriting them away. It was done.

I tried to make each teacup represent the lyric that you all chose... some of them are more metaphorical, sorry :P

ALRIGHT, now, someone else chooses a different fandom with a different set of teacups, and it repeats for as long as the thread stays alive!
