    The Other Hot Chocolate

    The other mother took the bacon from under the grill and put it on a plate. Then she slipped the cheese omelette from the pan onto the plate, flipping it as she did so, letting it fold itself into a perfect omelette shape. She placed the breakfast plate in front of Coraline, along with a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice and a mug of frothy hot chocolate. "Yes," she said. "I think I like this game. But what kind of game shall it be? A riddle game? A test of knowledge or of skill? "An exploring game," suggested Coraline. "A finding-things game." "And what is it you think you should be finding in this hide-and-go-seek game, Coraline Jones?" Coraline hesitated. Then, "My parents," said Coraline. "And the souls of the children behind the mirror." The other mother smiled at this, triumphantly, and Coraline wondered if she had made the right choice. Still, it was too late to change her mind now. "A deal," said the other mother. "Now eat up your breakfast, my sweet. Don't worry-it won't hurt you." Coraline stared at the breakfast, hating herself for giving in so easily, but she was starving. "How do I know you'll keep your word?" asked Coraline. "I swear it," said the other mother. "I swear it on my own mother's grave." "Does she have a grave?" asked Coraline. "Oh yes," said the other mother. "I put her in there myself. And when I found her trying to crawl out, I put her back." "Swear on something else. So I can trust you to keep your word." "My right hand," said the other mother, holding it up. She waggled the long fingers slowly, displaying the clawlike nails. "I swear on that." Coraline shrugged. "Okay," she said. "It's a deal." She ate the breakfast, trying not to wolf it down. She was hungrier than she had thought. As she ate, her other mother stared at her. It was hard to read expressions into those black button eyes, but Coraline thought that her other mother looked hungry, too. She drank the orange juice, but even though she knew she would like it she could not bring herself to taste the hot chocolate. Straight out of the bottle, this is super rich milk chocolate. Once it hit my skin, I started to pick up wafts of steamed milk with milk chocolate weaving in and out. As it dries, I get an impression of a very decadent hot chocolate with something a bit dark hidden underneath that's almost unsettling. I also get a bit of a Cocoa Puffs cereal vibe which is very Once this has completely dried down, it seems very similar to the Post's C2E2 exclusive atmo spray, The Agricultural Building, and stays on my skin for hours. If you love rich milk chocolate, this one's for you

    What do bottles and labels look like?

    IIRC, all the RPGs have always been available with labels depicting either male or female characters. So, you could either randomly receive a bottle labeled with a male Dwarf or one with a female Dwarf. I would assume that if you wanted a specific gender for a role, like a female Ranger, that you could request a bottle with the female version of the label in the notes section of your order.

    Coffee House?

    El Dia de los Reyes is wonderful and one of my favorite cool weather scents. It's not an oil, but if you can find some, the Post's Konditorei atmo spray is a coffee house in a bottle. Hot chocolate, Turkish coffee, strudel, and tarts are some of the notes.

    What should I expect at Will-Call?

    Hi Numanoid, Not sure about the other Will Call locations, but at West Coast Will Call, Puddin will bring in Trading Post items when he has stock on hand. In my experience, there is always a bit of GC and current LE product available for purchase. I've picked up bath oils, atmos, soap, and BPTP perfume oils at WCWC over the years. I've never asked Puddin about whether he brings in goblin squirt atmos, but he's brought in atmos, bath oils, massage oils, perfume oils, soaps, candles, socks, tees, Lunacy tees, imp cases, lockets, pendants, candies, and nail polishes at various times. Puddin will occasionally bring protos in as well. Hope that helps Thanks!! That does help...I have a friend that might be going to the WCWC on Wednesday, so I am trying to giver her a list of things I want!! If that's the case, then I would recommend sending Puddin an email at the Post to ask if he can bring in the particular items you'd like. He was kind enough to do that for me last year
