In Diqui, this raises all sorts of possibilities:

"OK, so how did this start?"

"We think that it started in Sakuragoka. <cue slideshow> This is Kotobuki Tsumugi, heiress to the Kotobuki Conglomerate. The last social media we intercepted before the Event was a mass invite to a tea party of all things. Her security forces (all very circumspect) reported that the Avatar showed up with these two in tow <pictures of Belldandy and Yamato at long-range>. After that, things... escalated."

"And now we have a Tea Party that has encompassed the old Fire Nation colonies, the United Republic, and 50% of the old Earth Kingdom? How does this even happen? And what do we do about it?"

"We could enact the Bei-Fong protocol. It's the only way to be sure."

"Now, now, now, now, now, now, now...."

"It's too late...."

(I think this is also how the phrase "WOULD YOU CARE FOR SOME TEA?" entered the Dalek Lexicon.)
