(Everyone) What's you guys' favourite drinks?

- The Islanders rely on their favourite beverages to take them through the demanding task of entertaining parkgoers. Some other fun facts:

- Stealth will only drink Coca-Cola out of glass bottles. "The plastic ones just aren't as cool!"

- Colossus also likes bubble tea. Her favourite flavour is vanilla, but it's pretty uncommon in the stores, so she tends to settle for taro. She tried making it herself once, but it ended in disaster. The Lost City folks and her have wonderful tea parties every week!

- Saw is lactose intolerant, but also allergic to soy, so his go-to alternative is oat. In fact, if he can't have oat milk in his coffee for whatever reason, he'd rather just get tea.

- Xavier's drink is a whisky on the rocks with a bit of still lemonade. They're very particular about most things, and also likes to talk to the night bartender. Who knows why Derren's having a coffee at this time of night, though.....

Image 1: A 4 paneled comic reading from left to right. Panel 1: Nemesis Inferno, a young woman with medium dark skin, orange eyes and brown wavy hair with orange highlights sits at a table, holding a tumbler of lemon iced tea. She rests her chin on one hand with a ponderous expression and says: "That's a good question, actually! I'm drinking lemon tea right now, even though it's out of season, but it's not my favourite. Or maybe it is? Well, I do love a good smoothie, or just juice (though not orange, yeuch) and flavoured water is nice too. I guess there's just so many that it's hard to decide. Maybe I should narrow it down by starting with drinks I don't like. Hmm..."

Panel 2: Stealth, a young Asian man with light-medium skin, bleached white hair with navy tips and dark red eyes wearing a black, white and red racing suit and a trans flag pin thrusts a glass bottle of Coca Cola towards the viewer, winking charismatically. He says: "Nothing quenches my thirst better than the refreshing taste of Coca-Cola!" A small caption at the bottom of the frame reads: "Note. Stealth is not sponsored by Coca-Cola. Please don't sue us."

Panel 3: Swarm, a young dark-skinned black person with black and grey hair braided into a coily ponytail, dark green eyes and dressed in a camo coat and black bulletproof vest, holds a can of Pepsi Max and asks Stealth: "What about Pepsi Max? That's my favourite." Stealth is turning round to give them a thumbs up and says with a friendly smile and eyes closed: "It's good!"

Panel 4: Chibi versions of Stealth and Swarm stand in front of a descending dark purple gradient. Stealth opens the bottle of Coca Cola and says: "but Coca Cola is still way better." Swarm smiles, unconvincingly, and replies: "Uh, yeah. Whatever you say, big guy." End Image 1 ID.

Image 2: a 4 paneled comic reading from left to right.

Panel 1: Colossus, a fat white woman with curly pale teal hair dressed in Ancient Greek attire, holds a fancy china teacup filled with brown tea. She smiles with her eyes closed and says: "A cup of Earl Grey is my favourite, and it's even better when my friends are at the table!" She's surrounded by a pink glow and cartoon flowers. Behind her, far in the distance, stand Quantum, an elderly Sikh man waving at her with a cup of tea in his hand, Zodiac, a red-haired white woman wearing long loose clothes and smiling, Rush, a woman with medium skin and turquoise hair in a grey dress and eating cake, and Vortex, a dark-skinned woman with deep purple hair and a starry dress who's posed and smiling at the camera.

Panel 2: Saw, a pale-skinned white man with messy, curly dark brown hair, dark brown eyes, a thick beard, dark circles under his eyes and wearing a light grey shirt with a rusted metal cage over his shoulders and ribs, is looking at the viewer and signing the BSL for latte, with his index finger to his palm. He says: "Vanilla oat latte. One shot of espresso."

Panel 3: Xavier, a dark-skinned desi masc with curly dark brown hair with lilac highlights, red-blue heterochromia and a plaster over their nose, wearing a black tank top with a light purple X on it and a scuffed black leather jacket, sits at a tabletop with a whiskey on the rocks in front of him and his hands on his chin. They look downhearted, and say: "...And yet things still aren't the same anymore. This whole zombie thing's just....not my style. It was far simpler, well....back in the 90s. Look, I know, it's cringy, the park's evolved way beyond then and everything, but it all made sense. I was x, the cyberpunk secret agent, the biggest draw, cool with the teens, and liked being me, too. And denim doesn't suit me at all. I wish I could decide my theme instead of always having to chop and change at the marketing team's whims, and........ hello? Did you catch all that?"

Panel 4: it's now clear that Xavier is sat in front of the counter of a bar. He looks to the right in annoyance at the bartender, a white person with freckles and a red ponytail in a blue button down shirt, who is not listening to him but serving Derren a coffee. Derren is a medium-skinned, slightly older man with long, brownish-red locs in a ponytail tied with a blue ribbon, dressed in an elegant red coat with silver tasseling, gloves and a stationmaster hat. The bartender says: "Soy milk cappuccino with cocoa powder and a pump of hazelnut?" A small bit of text under their speech bubble adds: "Though I thought this was a bar, not a coffee shop..." Derren grins delightedly with his eyes closed and one finger up, saying "Why thank you! Yes, that's tremendous." End ID.]
