Eternal Teatime

Eternal Teatime is the name given to both the monocle relic and the phenomenon created when worn by that relic. It is one of Kheper Kamen's most potent relics and capabilities.

Activation
Eternal Teatime is activated by wearing the monocle during teatime (Somewhere between 3:30 pm and 5 pm), but Kheper Kamen's ability to affect time in various ways has rendered this limitation useless, at least for him.

It must be noted that a person cannot be forced to wear Eternal Teatime; the wearer must willingly don it with a strong, self-sure desire to have tea and crumpets.

Effects
When worn, the entire plane of existence in which the wearer is in is subject to 'tea time', a strange state in which time is stopped for everything other than sentient beings and the mysterious 'butlers' who appear out of nowhere to set up the tea sets and tables. This phenomenon is referred to as 'subtime', similar to the concept of 'subspace' put forth in sci-fi literature.

Conflict ceases and every sentient being may only interact with each other by engaging in civil discourse over tea. The concept of 'violence' ceases to exist, preventing injury and actions that lead to such.

Everyone's voice now intones and inflects like that of a stereotypical british noble, and those who do not or had no means to speak the queen's english gain a telepathic voice with the aforementioned accent. Even the wearer is affected by these limitations, though only the wearer may end this tea time by taking off his/her monocle.

The butlers will be of service to all those within the tea time, giving them more scones, tea, showing guests the way to the rest room, etc. They do not accept requests that go outside the scope of their tea service, i.e. requesting them to pick up items, spying on other guests, having a specific item made, etc.

As soon as this happens, time resumes as if nothing happened prior to tea time, though one may catch a glimpse the butlers carrying off the chairs and tea sets before disappearing into nothingness. Outside Eternal Teatime, the butlers seem to be phantasmal, as nothing interacts with them. Objects phase right through them.

Interestingly, only beings that interacted with the wearer during Eternal Tea Time will remember the events that happened therein - everyone else just resumes whatever they were doing prior to its activation as if nothing happened.
