Every week! What can I say? It's the duty of a scientist to understand.
[ secretly lu bixing really enjoys this part of every week. it's not a secret. everyone knows this. he is a giant nerd.
he pats the seat beside him. ]
Want to join me? I can offer compensation in the form of sated curiosity... or a cookie, or I can cook you something later this week. Or a gold star sticker, since those seem to be in pretty high demand.
[ a cookie it is! he grins, pleased, and shuffles through screens on his personal device, which pop up over his wrist, a holographic keyboard unfolding too. ]
Alright, then! It's pretty simple. Pick whichever one of the drinks you're interested in drinking, and drink the whole thing. You can chug it or go slowly, it doesn't really matter. Just tell me how it tastes, and how you're feeling afterwards, and then for the first five minutes, it'll just be an observation period, and then we'll go from there.
[ he makes a little fingergun. dingding, correct! ] I went to collect samples for the beers since last week's had a unique aspect to it, and I noticed there was something new on the menu. It's called "Nice Havin Ya".
[ with a little smile: ] I wouldn't ask you to drink anything I wouldn't drink myself, promise.
[ the only danger here is stupidity. lu bixing has his own thoughts as to what this could be, but he keeps his hypothesis to himself for now, instead adding in mephisto's notes. ]
Hmmm. Well, at least it's good. Small mercies. This place really likes lemon flavors...
he make a startled noise when this happens, and like - sticks his hand out to make sure it doesn't fall into a drink or something out of sheer instinct. ]
I - huh. Well... it should only last for an hour to three hours, if the rest are consistent...? Here, let me - I think I've got a hairband here somewhere.
[ let him go dig around in his bag for a minute... ]

Not as hard as you are, apparently. Trying to figure out all the new mystery effects?

Sound good?

[ he looks at the sizzling one for a moment, then glances over to the one with the cherry. ]
Was that one on the menu here?

[ so that kind of makes sense. ] I wonder if that's a pattern we'll start seeing next week, or a random occurance?
no subject
[ it's just so his aesthetic... ]
I'll have to remember to check back at all the old places next week.
no subject
Mmm, definitely! Hey, if you want to help me test things out next week, too, I definitely wouldn't complain.
[ i guess like as long as we're both alive. you know how it be. ] Maybe they're trying to keep things interesting.
no subject
For us or for them, I wonder?
no subject
Both? [ a little dryly. ] Probably both.
no subject
[ anyway... looking back to the drink lineup. ]
Well, maybe I'll pass on that one for now so I have an excuse to go back to that bar later. So...
[ he will grab..........
the green one, actually, because sour gummy worms rule. ]
no subject
[ mr amusement park master. but! with a grin, he nods, popping open his notes document and tapping open an empty page. ]
Okay. The green one is just called "Stop", apparently? Short and sweet.
no subject
[ ...eats a gummy worm first.
and then takes a sip. ]
...Tastes like a standard hard lemonade, honestly. Not that exciting, but pretty good.
