There are so many things that it could be .
So many places it could be.
Supposedly it’ll clear lemony’s name, but it also has horseradish in it.

I went into a googling frenzy a couple months ago when the show came out and the coolest theory I found was that whatever it is, it is stored in a sugar bowl because a sugar bowl has no other functionality in Snicket’s world. While tea is regularly drunk during the series, only villains take their tea with sugar. Volunteers make it a point of pride that they take theirs black, making a sugar bowl a perfect in plain sight hiding place. Which I suppose means that it was put in a sugar bowl in order to hide it from Volunteers, not fire starters, which is consistent with the fact that it was originally stolen from Esme Squalor.

[Poulet Frit]

…dang I love that theory.
Which means, it’s on my side of the schism?

[Poulet Frit]

Sweet!
I think I’m just drawing a blank, why is lemony on the run?

[Manalive Smith]

I don’t think we ever really know. But if your side had it to start with, why didn’t they just do whatever it is that you do with it instead of leaving it out at dinner parties?

[Poulet Frit]

We have to taunt you. We are evil aren’t we. You can’t be evil unless you taunt the good ones

[Manalive Smith]

It just doesn’t seem practical. Why are you sooo evil?

[Manalive Smith]

There is a very thin line between typing ‘practical’ and typing ‘piratical’.

[Poulet Frit]

Because.
Fate is like a strange, unpopular restaurant, filled with odd waiters who bring you things you never asked for and don’t always like.

[Manalive Smith]

Never were words so true.

[Poulet Frit]

So many lemony snicket quotes are
There is one about how…it’s rude to ask someone for ice cream, but asking for a tour of their freezer is charming (something like that)

[Poulet Frit]

When trouble strikes, head to the library. You will either be able to solve the problem, or simply have something to read as the world crashes around you.

Unlike my fire setting brethren, I read. Which according to lemony means I’m not evil, yet…I feel as if it makes me more evil

I cannot remember what he said about it, but he said something like, “don’t trust someone who hasn’t brought a book with them. Evil people don’t have time for reading, it’s one of the reasons for their wickedness”

[Manalive Smith]

I will always think of myself as a fire fighting Volunteer, but I take my tea with a LOT of sugar.

[Poulet Frit]

I always think of myself as a fire starter, and I drink my tea and coffee black

[Poulet Frit]

I…would probably be a Volunteer, I would just be uncover in the fire starting side. I’m not sure though, I’m torn.
I don’t wanna hurt anyone, but I like count olaf and the others. Plus, I would feel like I wasn’t smart enough on the volunteer side of the schism

[Manalive Smith]

You can say fried chicken in French. I don’t think there is any higher qualification.

[Poulet Frit]

…but…count olaf!

[Poulet Frit]

I’m not good with codes or anything.
But I am good at manipulation and devious plans

[Josiah the Carrot Stick]

I’m confused. Oh, well.

[Poulet Frit]

Read the series

[Josiah the Carrot Stick]

I will… when I have time.

[Poulet Frit]

OK good. I can predict your favorite character. And what side of the schism you would be on

[Josiah the Carrot Stick]

Okay… but can you determine my favorite US President?

[Poulet Frit]

….Abraham lincoln?
No, but you probably can’t guess mine either

[Josiah the Carrot Stick]

No, not Lincoln. I would say he’s one of the two greatest presidents, though. Truman?

[Poulet Frit]

…he’s definitely in the top 3

[Josiah the Carrot Stick]

Lincoln or Truman? Greatest or your favorite?

[Josiah the Carrot Stick]

(ambiguous pronoun reference)

[Poulet Frit]

I don’t know much about presidents. So…like…George Washington is your favorite right?

[Josiah the Carrot Stick]

Nope.
