Jim's Cafe, 15th of May, 2021

[Dante]

So, I have new a title and a new motto: "One thing at a time". Now I need someone to translate that motto into Latin.
What happened on this day:

• 1602, Cape Cod was discovered by Bartholomew Gosnold. Despite the name, I found no information about cod in Cape Cod on Wikipedia.
• 1817, first private mental health hospital in the US.
• 1836, Francis Baily thought his beard look cool.
• 1905, the foundation of Las Vegas.
• 1940, the McDonald brothers opened their first restaurant, unaware of a future threat that would pay a visit.
• 2010, Jessica Watson sailed around the world. This time, without claiming lands for the King of Spain or messing up with native populations.

The Tray of Spice
In front of you is a table, where you see 5 colorful potion bottles. According to the seal, the liquids in those bottles are safe to drink, and they all have their respective taste and descriptive tag in the bottom. Of course, drinking potions will give you a bonus in your adventure, without any insidious side-effect. This is guaranteed by the seal, who is obviously not a wicked genie because "neaurgh", it said.

• Bottle of citrù, a sour taste: become quicker in movement.
• Bottle of n'tree, a salty taste: become more charismatic.
• Bottle of kaunfheargh, a bitter taste: become more resilient.
• Bottle of sveatar, a sweet taste: become happier.
• Bottle of xitli, a spicy taste: become stronger physically.

The seal says that all of these effects last only about a day, or 24 hours.

Thanks @johnDoen for the cafe and invite.

Just a couple of points :P

• 1602, When Bartholomew Gosnold first discovered Cape Cod he discovered it had a bountiful supply of codfish it its waters and he ended up bringing aboard quite a lot, hence his decision to name it Cape Cod.
• 1817, The first private mental health hospital in the US had a FANTASTIC name "The Asylum for the Relief of Persons Deprived of the Use of their Reason"

As for the spices, not sure if there is a question there... and though everyone is choosing one, I dont see anything saying I cant take them all... So I do ^^

I will use the Charisma potion when I need to do a job interview.
I will keep the speed, strength and resilience potions on my person at all times to chug together if I ever get in trouble.
I will give away the happiness potion to someone who needs a good day in their life.

@johnDoen thnk ya for the tag....
I choose the citrù. I am slow as molases at all the wrong times, and not just in physical abilities.
Just give me a leg up once in awhile.

A leg up, saluting a fire hydrant.

it's funny that animals use urine and pheromones to attract one another. people tend to cover these odors up the best they can. imagine smelling around at trees in the woods for the smell of a good male/female. lol.

All (like the Terminator in the gun shop). I didn't see any restrictions on choosing more than one...

There's a page about the Cape
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cape_Cod

During the summer, it gets really crowded, and traffic there and back is famously horrible during peak hours. I've heard Martha's Vineyard gets really crowded too.

Ok, sorry for being a goody-two-shoes, but I guess I would want this to go to whoever would do the most good with it. Like if someone were sick, a shot of xitli might be all they'd need to not die, etc.

Sveatar sounds appealing. I'm not sure if citru or xitli would make me more energetic, but I could use some more energy.

Good way to maximize the benefit!

There needs to be ones for "become luckier"

This one's good too, especially if you bought a lottery ticket just after drinking.
