Some Warm Welcomes

Vixonia recites:

"Hi Everyone! I am going to ask you all to join me outside to grab a gift and if you are not one of the lucky golden ticket holders... there is going to be a raffle! Sign up on the list out there!"

Istercal says, "Jundara will take care of me..."

You say, "Everyone gets a gift though."

Istercal says, "Thank you."

Kethrai says, "Excellent gift. Never know when you need one of those."

You exclaim, "Welcome, welcome!"

Kethrai says to Jundara, "Fix your brother please."

Allye says, "The cartons on the cloth are grape juice, if anyone prefers not to drink alcohol."

Gragnel sits down on an overstuffed maroon leather armchair.

Gragnel says, "Ahhh."

Nevali says to Kethrai, "Been trying."

Lilustra says, "Well this is a lovely little gift."

Khearkrash says, "Pre-wine."

Nevali says, "Ohhh, that kind of fixing."

Gragnel says, "Whoever left the armchair, thanks for warmin it up."

Phierre grins at Gragnel, his dimples flashing into view.

Gragnel says, "Been some rain today, makes my bones hurt."

Nilme exclaims, "Hi all!"

Allye exclaims, "Hi!"

Elore says to Phierre, "Perfect drink for a gentleman like me."

Nevali says, "Force of habit..."

Phierre says to Elore, "I need a butler."

Istercal asks Phierre, "Right?"

Nevali says to Istercal, "Buy a broom first, dusty."

Phierre says to Elore, "Absolutely."

Istercal says to Nevali, "Fair assessment."

Kethrai asks Phierre, "Do they wear anything different?"

Phierre says to Kethrai, "Not if you hire the right one."

Jundara says, "Vela'tohr mead... very nice."

Phierre asks Elore, "Do we need a pool first? or can we just have him lifeguard the bathtub?"

Khearkrash asks, "A buckets a pool if its filled, right?"

Nevali asks, "You guys have a tub?"

Elore says to Phierre, "Good question."

Aetheline asks Zersha, "D'ya like it?"

Phierre says to Nevali, "Everyone should have a bathtub... the river only gets you so clean."

Zersha says to Aetheline in Ilithic, "It's juice, I think."

You say, "I should warn y'all -- the shaker flask is novel technology and a little quirky! Y'can shake it a little but if y'shake it a lot the cork is want t'pop out."

You say, "Jus' somehting to bear in mind when you're makin' cocktails."

Jundara says, "I mean.. there are bath houses all over too."

Zersha says to Aetheline, "It's juice, I think."

Aetheline exclaims, "Oh!"

Nevali exclaims to Jundara, "But... the things we can do with a tub of our own!"

Kethrai says to Jundara, "I wouldn't know..."

Aetheline says to Zersha, "I mean.. wine is just old grape juice.."

Jundara says to Nevali, "And the waterfall."

Zersha says to Aetheline, "It doesn't taste like any wine I've had before."

Nevali says, "Rubber ducky battles without anyone stealing my fleet..."

You say, "We'll wait a few more rois before we start! Make sure y'have a drink in hand. Or two."

Aetheline says, "Oop! I need more."

You exclaim, "Welcome!"

Madigan smiles warmly.

Madigan shakes your hand.

Elore says to Phierre, "Now I don't have to feel bad that I'm already carrying 2."

Nevali asks, "Grape juice?"

Madigan says, "I must say...this is a bit more lively than the various memorials I have had to attend."

Madigan grins at you.

Lexxa asks, "Can i get a whiskey?"

Aetheline exclaims, "Ooo!"

Zersha exclaims to Aetheline, "See!"

You say to Madigan, "That, I hope is a good thing."

Jundara asks, "Grape milk?"

Phierre says to Elore, "Got one in each hand, I better get drinking."

Nevali says, "I think it might just taste a bit like wine from all the alcohol in the air..."

Aetheline exclaims to Zersha, "That's my second favorite drink ever!"

Madigan says to you, "You have no idea. I intend on putting you in for a Therengian Medal of Valor for this."

Zersha asks Aetheline, "What's your first?"

Kethrai says to Madigan, "I dunno, last andu's memorial was fairly lively."

Madigan nods to you.

Aetheline exclaims to Zersha, "MILKSHAKES!"

You laugh at Madigan!

You ask Madigan, "Is th'coffee spiked?"

You look around, trying to appear nonchalant.

You say, "Cause it should be."

(Nawain sips her scotch and gazes into the empty fireplace.)

Kethrai says to Madigan, "Wasn't sure Sofina wasn't gonna make a go at me partway through."

You let out a loud "Huzzah!" for Stelling!

Madigan says, "Now, that would have made it lively for sure."

You let out a loud "Huzzah!" for Allye!

You let out a loud "Huzzah!" for Rozalynde!

Madigan says, "Good looking crew we have here."

Phierre says to Madigan, "Thanks I work out."

Gragnel says to Kethrai, "Yes, I was thankful for everyone keeping the peace. It would have made my job harder trying to cover as host."

Nawain quietly says to Gragnel, "Thank you again for that."

Kethrai sheepishly says to Gragnel, "Apologies, then. I needn't have escalated with her."

Phierre says, "Got to make sure my drinking hand stays in good shape. can't be spilling from a weak grip."

Gragnel says to Nawain, "You need not mention it, Sister. Was happy to be of service in a time of need."

You recite:

"I hear there are a few more folk on their way so let's give them another few rois before we kick things off."

Gragnel says to Nawain, "Today, we celebrate Glythtide and be merry."

Ophidian says, "Teaching FA if any one wants to listen."

Madigan says to Gragnel, "I am not sure we have met. I am Madigan."

You exclaim, "Welcome!"

Vaerek exclaims, "Whoa!"

Gragnel says to Madigan, "Oh, my pleasure, sir. Gragnel Durbin of Wolf Clan...."

Gragnel gazes off into the distance.

Madigan says to Gragnel, "The pleasure is mine Father."

Phierre shakes Vaerek's hand.

Zersha grins sheepishly at Hebion.

You say, "This door is my nemisis."

You say, "Nemesis."

Zersha is giggling at you.

You cough.

Ophidian says, "Thank you Phierre."

Messica says to you, "As nemeses go, a stout axe will likely solve this one."

Kethrai says to Phierre, "You beat me."

You whisper to Allye, "Very shortly"

You whisper to Allye, "Couple more loiterers outside"

You recite:

"Everyone got a drink?"

Elizzibiana says to you, "Pretty big cottage here."

Kentara says, "Uh oh, starting to be a lot of Bards in here...."

Nilme says to you, "I'd take some scotch."

Kentara says, "Ya'll better get your drinks while you can."

Vaerek says, "Not yet."

Stelling says to Kentara, "That's how you know it'll be fun."

Daerlynn exclaims, "That's when you know its a party!"

Seihjin makes a grunting noise.

Stelling nods at Daerlynn, obviously agreeing with her views.

Madigan says, "I hope the house is rated for an abundance of bards."

Elore asks Kentara, "Sorry, it's hard to hear, did you say bagpipes?"

Daerlynn exclaims, "And some gypsies!"

Poshly asks, "Yes what's the Bard occupancy limit?"

Daerlynn beams!

Vaerek says, "I could use some rum."

Stelling and Elore highfive each other.

Vaerek says, "Rumminumnom."

Aetheline exclaims to Messica, "It's sooooo good!"

Kentara says, "Friendly notice that any floor can be a dance floor if you got the right partner."

Messica says to Aetheline, "The cow."

Messica says to Aetheline, "Is purple."

Jundara exclaims, "The Danger Gnomes are here also!"

You nod.

You recite:

"Drinkfest is about celebrating THREE things: curiosity, creativity and community."

You ponder.

You recite:

"And drinking. Drinkfest is about celebrating FOUR things!"

Allye chortles softly at some secret joke.

Nilme appears to be trying hard not to grin.

Raising his scotch to you, Kethrai gives you a toast. Cheers!

You duck your head.

Stelling gives a Tavern Troupe refreshment cart a hug!

Phierre says, "I'll drink to that."

Kentara says, "Not counting it seems."

You flash a wide grin.

You recite:

"I'm not countin'. The bar is OPEN tonight!"

Vixonia says to Kentara, "I will drink to a lot..."

You recite:

"Right, so let me tell you how we're going to do that."

You recite:

"Not long ago -- in a fit a'mad, cunning genius -- I hid nine Golden Slips across Kermoria. Amongst us, we have the Finders o'these prized posessions."

Kentara exclaims to Vixonia, "I will join on that adventure!"

You strike a heroic pose.

You ask, "Can I ask our Finders t'make themselves known?"

You say, "Wave or raise y'hands or something."

Nawain raises her hand.

Ysindre raises her hand.

Etasia raises her hand.

You let out a loud "Huzzah!"

Etasia says, "I am standing in fer a finder this eve tho."

Jundara gets an impish expression on her face, and lets out a hearty cheer.

Levie raises her hand.

Ophidian looks at Etasia and applauds!

Levie holds up her hand and tilts it side to side in a so-so gesture.

Etasia says, "Upon request."

You recite:

"Finders, we celebrate you and your curiosity! Today, this pondrous posse, this curious crew, these fortunate few will fight for the chance t'win three very special prizes indeed. I trust you're up for the challenge?"

Etasia says, "Well......."

You say, "The answer is YES. You are."

Etasia says, "They could nae be here."

Vixonia is giggling at you.

You recite:

"It is our job t'cheer them on and your most essential task to vote for y'favourite contestants when the time comes. I trust you're up for the challenge too."

Kethrai asks, "If we raise our hands, are you actually checking for the golden slips...?"

You say to Kethrai, "I am."

You exclaim, "Strictly!"

You fold your arms across your chest.

Etasia says, "Ahh."

Kethrai says to you, "I see. Well, then. Carry on."

You shake Darkewolff's hand.

You recite:

"Tonight, we also celebrate creativity. In our midst, we have some a'the finest drink-makers in all of Elanthia. You know who y'are."

Kethrai says, "Just curious."

Nevali waves a gold-edged ivory parchment around.

Darkewolff says to you, "Good to see you, brother. quite a night tonight."

You nod at Darkewolff, in complete agreement with his views.

You recite:

"Their creations outshine all that you might find at one of the many bars across this land. Today you'll hear a little about their concotions and the inspiration behind them, and perhaps your creative genius might too be sparked!"

You waggle your fingers mystically.

Shaylynne says to Kamisama, "I'm just a drink drinker."

You say, "Yknow, just in time for HE."

Kethrai says, "Some of them even outshine the moons, one might say."

You recite:

"Finally, we celebrate community. All of you. For comin' together at a time like this, f'supporting each other, and remembering those who aren't wi'us right now."

Vaerek shakes his flask.

You recite:

"Because y'all are so great... at the end of the evening there will be a draw -- a raffle -- to add another winner to the mix! If y'haven't already done so I'd ask anyone who didn' find a Golden Slip add their name to th'list outside before the evening is up."

You ponder.

You recite:

"I will say m'thoughts are very much wi'our missing friends -- Mikston and Navesi, as I'm sure many o'you know are wonderful drink-makers in their own rights. I'd ask that y'join us in a moment of silence to spare thoughts for those who are not with us right now."

Shaoimhe gazes upward.

Nawain inhales a great swallow of air.

Nawain slowly empties her lungs.

Vixonia nods to you.

You smile.

You recite:

"Finally, a thank you to my fabulous co-hosts, the Tavern Troupe, embodiments as each of them are o' all that we celebrate tonight. Allye, would y'like to say a few words?"

Allye nods to you.

Vixonia lets out a hearty cheer for Allye!

"Welcome, everyone! The Tavern Troupe is so pleased to be co-hosting Drinkfest 450 with Medir."

Daerlynn lets out a hearty cheer for Allye!

Katriwen looks at Allye and applauds!

Allye recites:

"But before I hand things back over to him... a toast!"

Allye recites:

"Feel free to grab a drink from the picnic cloth or the refreshments cart if you don't have one already."

Vixonia looks at you and lets out a hearty cheer on your behalf!

Allye motions toward a darkly glimmering spun glitter picnic cloth.

Avrenka says, "Didn't expect so many people."

You grin at Avrenka.

Allye recites:

"A toast! A toast to the light moments we grasp onto in times of darkness! A toast to the unity that can be found in gathering together to enjoy one another's company, even when the world feels fraught and harrowing."

Kethrai says, "Couldn't possibly be better than this scotch, sir."

Raising your Troupe Reserve ale to Allye, you give her a toast. Cheers!

Raising his Bardic blue wine to Allye, Stelling gives her a toast.

The Contestants Draw Drinks

You recite:

"Alright. Without further ado, let's get to the contest. Finders, assemble!"

Jundara says, "Assembling...."

Allye says to Avrenka, "First a contest for the folks who found the golden slips. Raffle for everyone else later."

Avrenka says, "Ah."

Vixonia says to Avrenka, "After the event, there is going to be a raffle and the list to join in for that is outside."

Nevali says to Jundara, "Assemble me, I'm tired."

Avrenka says, "I'll do that, thanks."

You exclaim, "Hmm where did I put it!"

You exclaim, "Ah ha!"

You wave your gold sack around.

You recite:

"Finders! Today I set you this task: Inside this bag are a selection of the finest creations a'our esteemed drinkmakers, both here and absent. Each of you will draw a drink."

You point at a large gold sack you have.

Nawain gazes at you.

Istercal says, "Easy task so far."

Daerlynn exclaims, "I have paper for your drawing if you need it!"

Messica says, "Selecting exactly one item from an arbitrary set can be surprisingly fraught."

Gragnel says, "If anyone starts to feel sick, please make your way to the door. It's a little tight quarters in here."

Nevali says, "I've already been feeling sick... that's why I got my blindfold on..."

You recite:

"Your challenge... is to give a SALES PITCH to the audience about the wonders o'your selected tipple and why they should drink it. You will have about... ten rois to come up with your pitch, and a maximum of two rois to deliver it. The most convincing pitches will take the podium as finalists!"

Gragnel asks, "Stand by the window for some fresh air maybe?"

Nawain laughs!

Vaerek asks Gragnel, "They did say your shoes were hard to fill. Maybe we can aim there?"

Etasia says, "Ohh waits."

Kethrai says to Messica, "And yet always possible. They should make an axiom about that..."

Valynn says, "Oh, this should be fun."

You recite:

"Audience -- once all the pitches are heard, we will vote for the top three. So listen well wi'hearts, minds, and stomachs."

Istercal says, "Can't take the whole sack, Nevali."

Messica says to Kethrai, "Just be careful you don't end up duplicating gnomes if you rely on the axiom too strongly."

Gragnel says to Vaerek, "Awww, not the shoes."

Shaoimhe grins at you.

Zersha quietly says to Aetheline, "I'm not sure they can convince me anything is better than this juice box."

Raising her apple brandy to you, Valynn gives you a toast. Cheers!

You recite:

"And Finders -- worry not, f'this is all in fun. We know each a'these drinks are delicious, and I applaud you for even being here. Even if you don' make it to the final round, each of you will be leavin' tonight with a hefty purse simply for having uncovered a slip!"

Zersha exclaims to Stelling, "There's a straw and a cow!"

And Vix Performs

You recite:

"For now, then, I turn it over to the Tavern Troupe for tonight's first performance. Vix?"

Istercal asks, "Who else... Ysindre?"

Ysindre says, "Yes."

You say, "Oh, and y'can whisper to me if you need any help."

You look around, trying to appear nonchalant.

Lushk drunkenly says, "Gimme more edirnks."

Bryinn asks, "Edirnks?"

Lushk drunkenly says, "Yes... dreniks."

You say, "That means it's workin'."

You praise Lushk's efforts, supporting her with your approval.

Vaerek says to Bryinn, "It's slang for directions."

You ask, "Every Finder have a drink?"

Karthor says to Lushk, "Flush. Poisons."

Jundara asks, "Circle of sympathy for the hangovers?"

Ysindre says, "Not yet."

Vixonia playfully exclaims, "Alrighty all! Feel free to raise a glass and toast with me with this song... it's all about one of my favorite past times. Drinking!"

Vixonia says, "Seemed appropriate."

Vixonia sings in a soprano voice:

"Now some may say I'm a typical bard

Because I like to drink...

But oft when I watch folks in the bar

It tends to make me think."

Sliyder says, "Lushk minus the K."

Vixonia sings in a soprano voice:

"Folks drink to get happy

They drink because they're sad.

For me I think I like to drink...

Because there is fun to be had!"

Etasia asks, "Anyone else?"

Jundara exclaims, "Nawain!"

Vixonia sings in a soprano voice:

"So raise your glass

Or tip your stein

Do a shot with me

And sing...

Find a drink that brings you joy

That's sure to be the thing!"

Grinning, Hebion pulls a swig from a pretty glass bottle of Tildi's Apple Blossom Tipple.

Jundara says, "Nawain is a winner."

Vixonia sings in a soprano voice:

"Some drink to boost their confidence

Others drink to meet their mate.

Just choose your drink wisely

Before you seal your fate!"

Lushk says, "Ok I should start feeling good in a few rois."

You hum to yourself.

Vixonia sings in a soprano voice:

"Drinking wine and feeling fine

Though sometimes it makes you sleepy.

Just be careful not to drink too much

Because then you might get weepy!"

Vixonia exclaims, "Here comes the chorus again... feel free to join in if you want!"

Daerlynn's alto, Stelling's baritone and Nilme's soprano join with Vixonia's soprano as she sings:

"So raise your glass

Or tip your stein

Do a shot with me

And sing...

Find a drink that brings you joy

That's sure to be the thing!"

Vixonia sings in a soprano voice:

"A gin drunk can be a silly drunk

It's that funny little berry...

For juniper can get you into the mood

And bring out your inner merry!"

Lushk drunkenly exclaims, "Raise your glassss!"

Isaish puts her wine in her old backpack.

Vixonia sings in a soprano voice:

"Be cautious with the angry drunk

A drink or two might be alright...

But more than that and you may find

That all they want to do is fight!"

Isaish walks through the door.

Daerlynn's alto, Stelling's baritone and Nilme's soprano join with Vixonia's soprano as she sings:

"So raise your glass

Or tip your stein

Do a shot with me

And sing...

Find a drink that brings you joy

That's sure to be the thing!"

(Lexxa sings along.)

Vixonia drunkenly sings in a soprano voice:

"Drunken philosopher, one of my faves

Can be both quiet and shy...

But a few drinks in and he then opens up

To be a fun, intellectual guy!"

You grin at Vixonia.

Istercal hiccups.

Vixonia sings in a soprano voice:

"If you're in the mood to be surprised

Absinthe is bound to be your choice.

Fairies, hippos, and mystical things

Are given an illusory voice."

Allye grins.

Vixonia exclaims, "Here we go again, for the very last time!"

Daerlynn's alto, Stelling's baritone and Nilme's soprano join with Vixonia's soprano as she sings:

"So raise your glass

Or tip your stein

Do a shot with me

And sing...

Find a drink that brings you joy

That's sure to be the thing!"

Valynn hums to herself.

You gaze into Vixonia's eyes and applaud her heartily.

Kentara applauds.

Karthor applauds.

You recite:

"Wow, tha' was... well this is why I'm not a bard. I jus' couldn't hold a candle to it!"

You flash a wide grin.

You recite:

"While y'up there, Vix, why don't you show us your creation an' tell us a little about it. Perhaps it'll inspire our Finders!"

Bryinn says, "Oh Lushk.... go easy."

Vixonia exclaims, "Oh! Ok!"

Vixonia gets a heavy crystal tumbler of Blissful Bard's bourbon from inside her libations trunk.

Vixonia recites:

"Back when I was a young bardling, though old enough to drink, I fell in love with bourbon. I blame my uncle Kleis for that..."

You grin at Vixonia.

Nilme grins at Vixonia.

Vixonia recites:

"Anyhow, I had the chance to work with Soovie once upon a time and decided the world needed more good bourbon!"

You note and reaffirm your praise of Vixonia.

You say, "That it does."

Vaerek says to Valynn, "Oooh, bourbon."

You grin.

Vixonia recites:

"Apparently I wasn't the only one, there have been more since then! But as anyone who knows me knows... I adore aliteration! Thus was born Blissful Bard's Bourbon!"

Shaoimhe sheepishly says, "I don't think I've ever tried bourbon..."

You gasp at Shaoimhe!

Daerlynn says, "It's good."

Zersha quietly says to Shaoimhe, "Me neither."

Madigan asks Vaerek, "What was that bloody meow near you sir? Did you sit on the cat?"

You recite:

"Well if anyone wants t'try a delicious bourbon, just ask Vix!"

Vixonia exclaims, "I hope I have enough!"

Messica says to Vixonia, "I was innocently ignorant of your interest."

Daerlynn exclaims, "I will have some!"

Shaoimhe exclaims, "I suppose if I'm going to try it for the first time, it might as well be the best!"

Vaerek says to Madigan, "I would say yay or nae but I don't know about a cat."

Madigan says to Vaerek, "We will not tell Medir you sat on his cat."

Shaoimhe says, "Oh, that's very...warm."

You whisper to Istercal, "Why it's so good. Tasting notes, whatever you want to do to convince people"

Daerlynn says, "Mmmm.. smooth."

The Contest Commences!

You recite:

"Should I give an example, perhaps?"

Allye nods to you.

Stelling nods at you, obviously agreeing with your views.

Valynn nods to you.

You nod.

R Shaoimhe exclaims, "Very strong!"

You move a generous dram of Chelsea Estate's Special Reserve scotch to your right hand.

You hold a generous dram of Chelsea Estate's Special Reserve scotch high into the air for all to see.

Shaoimhe says, "Perhaps it can come with me into battle."

"So. Have y'ever been smacked in the face by a sky giant?"

You recite:

"Well this is what I'd want t'drink when I'm at home nursing my wounds."

Katriwen gazes at you.

You recite:

"Smooth, silky, delicious. The perfect comfort drink."

You gaze at your scotch.

Stelling says, "It also works for nursing the wounds from other slaps, for the record."

Istercal nods to you.

You point at Stelling.

"See? Sale. Made."

You recite:

"Please do!"

Allye says, "Ooh, cocoa."

Nevali matter-of-factly exclaims, "Cold cocoa. Forest cocoa. Underground cocoa. Electric cocoa. These are some of the cocoas of the world. But have you tried hot cocoa? Nine out of ten Empaths agree that hot cocoa can cure many symptoms of seasonal depression, including, but not limited to: Ear mites, nose mites, beard mites, horse mites, constipation, death, executive dysfunction, middle-management dysfunction, lack of pizazz, lack of cute girlfriends or boyfriends, lack of hot cocoa, the urge to dance to the hit song "Everyone's Got Them Mites These Days (Mine Are In My Pants)", cold feet, sweaty feet from dancing, stinky feet from the sweaty feet from dancing, and a failure to actualize your life goals. We hunted down the tenth empath and forced this brand of cocoa down his throat until he agreed that the above statement was correct. Hot cocoa - it's a ten-out-of-ten! Hot cocoa - it's the cocoa you know-oh!"

Valynn licks her lips.

You laugh!

"Next up?"

You recite:

"Please!"

Jundara snuggles up to Nevali.

Allye lets out a hearty cheer for Nawain!

Stelling lets out a hearty cheer for Nawain!

(Nawain exhales and shakes out her hands, them fixes a broad, engaging smile on her face with only a bit of obvious effort.)

Nawain holds a bottle of private reserve Ilithic apple brandy high into the air for all to see.

Jundara warmly says to Nevali, "Yours was sooo good."

Nawain animatedly says, "Imagine the perfect balance of elegance and comfort in a single sip. This Illithi apple brandy is a testament to craftsmanship, offering a drinking experience that is as smooth as silk on your palate."

You lick your lips.

Nawain discerningly says, "As soon as you bring a glass of this 12 year private reserve brandy to your lips, you're greeted by a warm, woody aroma that hints at something more the crisp, fresh scent of apples lingering underneath."

Vixonia trills softly at Nawain.

Katriwen gazes at Nawain.

Nawain enthusiastically says, "The first taste of this ingenius creation is a sensual revelation: lightly sweet, with the unmistakable presence of apple, followed by gentle notes of vanilla, cinnamon, and oak."

Nawain earnestly says, "Each sip is a journey, with layers of flavor unfolding in perfect harmony, leaving behind a pleasant warmth and the delicate memory of apple pastry."

You beam!

Nawain genuinely says, "Whether you're savoring it neat or using it to elevate a favorite cocktail, this apple brandy is the perfect companion for a relaxing evening or a special occasion."

Nevali warbles out an airy whistle.

You nod in agreement.

Nawain triumphantly exclaims, "Discover the taste that brings a touch of warmth and sophistication to every moment. Cheers!"

You ask, "Maaaybe?"

You nod to Istercal.

You exclaim, "Why not. Vote f'yourself!"

Lushk drunkenly says, "I thought I had a good knife joke."

Lushk drunkenly says, "But I guess i'll take a stab at it later."

Valynn says to Zersha, "This bourbon goes to your head. Time to slow down."

Jundara says to Nevali, "Good luck, babe."

You say, "Not sure where th'last one went."

Kentara says to Lushk, "No jokes about knives, too soon."

Vixonia says to Nevali, "Two folks never contacted us."

Kethrai asks, "Luck... or skill?"

Stelling says, "No good time to slow down."

Nevali says, "I have a doctorate's in bartering. I'd show it to you, but my doctor ate it."

Lushk drunkenly says, "All my other knife jokes..."

Lushk drunkenly says, "Jsut don't make the CUT."

You recite:

"Dad jokes are welcome here"

You recite:

"I'm making a mental note t'do a dad joke contest in the future."

Gragnel says to Daerlynn, "It takes a bit of practice, but it's not too rough."

You let out a loud "Huzzah!" for Shaoimhe!

(Istercal walks over to the fireplace, admiring the craftsmanship in the placement of riverstone.)

Vixonia quietly exclaims to you, "I have a good one!"

Nawain grins at Shaoimhe.

(Shaoimhe braces her hands on either side of the stool and hoists herself upward, tucking her feet so that they brace onto the seat. Then she stands, balancing herself, and nods in satisfaction now that she can look more people in the eye.)

Elore says to you, "I'm using a mental eraser to remove that note."

Lushk drunkenly says, "I'd tell you my final knife joke."

Shaoimhe cheerfully says, "Hello!" She emphasizes her greeting with a pirouette upon the stool, flourishing her arms outward in welcome. "My name is Shaoimhe Bramblebairn, but you can just call me SheShe! I'm a Bard, and a tart enthusiast, and a tumbler, and, um, well...not much of a drinker."

Lushk drunkenly says, "But you wouldn't see the POINT."

Shaoimhe quickly says, "But I've drank! I mean, I've had...um...something. It was tasty? And made me very warm."

Stelling asks Shaoimhe, "Can't be perfect eh?"

Shaoimhe exclaims, "But luckily my performance isn't based on my ability to drink - it's to encourage yours! Also it was meant to be done on a unicycle but..." She glances around at the crowded room. "I figured that probably wouldn't be the best choice tonight. So gather around and enjoy my little drinking song, with a twist!"

You say, "A twist..."

Kentara says to Stelling, "Come on now, you knew she was perfect when she said Bard."

(Shaoimhe suddenly backflips off of the stool, twisting slightly in the air before landing steadily on her feet and flashing a wink. "Twist...get it?" She giggles and then disappears for a second, returning with an armful of pewter mugs.)

You gasp!

Avrenka says, "..nice."

Shaoimhe seriously says, "Don't worry, they're empty. There will be no alcohol abuse here tonight."

Vixonia giggles at Shaoimhe.

Ophidian says, "If i can say one thing before i run.... I would say this...Some ships are wooden and wooden ship sinks the best is friendships and to this we drink."

Stelling says, "Oh good."

Lushk exclaims to Seihjin, "I'm on the cutting edge of comedy!"

Ophidian exclaims, "Thanks and so nice to see everyone!"

You exclaim, "Thanks f'coming!"

Ophidian says, "Be well friends."

(Shaoimhe positions herself in an easy stance, bouncing on the balls of her feet and talking quietly to herself. Then, with a steadying breath, she looks up with bright silver eyes and a cheeky expression. Her hands flip upward and the mugs are thrown into the air!)

Vixonia lets out a hearty cheer for Shaoimhe!

(Shaoimhe catches them one by one, flinging them upward as she does to get a simple cascade started. The mugs arc high into the air before falling gracefully back down to her nimble hands and she settles into the pattern.)

Shaoimhe sings in a soprano voice:

"Oh, here in Medir's Tavern there's so much fun to be had

And the bouncers, they don't even care if you're good or if you're bad

Just come on in and have a round and see what the night brings

IYou could find love, perhaps a brawl, all while a cute Bard sings."

Istercal lets out a hearty cheer for Shaoimhe!

You say, "Y'can brawl, that's true. But maybe not tonight."

You try hard not to grin.

Nevali asks, "Can I be a bouncer?"

You nod to Nevali.

Elore glances at Nevali.

You say, "Hired."

You point at Nevali.

Shaoimhe sings in a soprano voice:

"Now I am just a little thing, you see

One drink for you is three for me

But 3 or 5 or 10 or more

Nights at Medir's are never a bore."

Ophidian says, "How i get out."

Lushk drunkenly says, "Why did the knife go to school? To get an edge-ucation."

You open the door.

Ophidian says, "Ahh."

(Shaoimhe steps up onto the footrest and quickly lifts her other foot to brace against the edge of the seat, tilting the stool until she is balanced upon it precariously. All the while the mugs arc into the air, and as she settles onto her perch she switches to a shower pattern, twirling a mug around one finger playfully with every few grabs before putting it back into motion.)

Bryinn says, "Enough with the silly jokes."

Nevali says, "But the serious jokes aren't as funny."

You pat Bryinn on the back.

Bryinn has accepted your offer and is now holding a generous dram of Chelsea Estate's Special Reserve scotch.

You say, "That'll help them go down."

Bryinn beams!

Shaoimhe sings in a soprano voice:

"The finest drinks and food in town can be found right here in this bar

And - let's be honest - it's where all the best people are

It's cozy, it's gorgeous, I've heard that it's clean

At least it's better than most of the taverns I've seen!"

Istercal asks, "What's a serious joke?"

Istercal chuckles.

Nevali says, "You are."

Nevali cackles!

You ponder.

Istercal laughs!

Gragnel snorts, loudly.

Istercal cackles!

Vixonia giggles a little oddly.

You say, "Clean... ehhh..."

Allye appears to be trying hard not to grin.

(Shaoimhe lets the mugs fly in the air before her for a roisan longer before she snatches them from the air, her fingers hooking deftly into the handles. Three to each hand, she adjusts them to set more comfortably as she leans forward and grips the seat, shifting her feet together and keeping the stool as balanced as possible. Then moving with extreme care to keep the stool on two legs, she begins to lift herself upward.)

Raising his Katamba-black whiskey to Shaoimhe, Vaerek gives her a toast.

You gaze into Shaoimhe's eyes and applaud her heartily.

Nilme gazes at Shaoimhe.

Darkewolff looks at Shaoimhe and applauds!

Zersha gawks at Shaoimhe.

Raising her bourbon to Shaoimhe, Valynn gives her a toast.

Shaoimhe sings in a soprano voice:

"Now I am just a little thing, you see

One drink for you is three for me

But 3 or 5 or 10 or more

Nights at Medir's are never a bore."

(Shaoimhe's voice is strained as she continues. Bent at the waist to help her balance as long as she can, her arms still shake with the exertion and she glares at the stool as it follows suit. It seems as if she's stopped breathing as she successfully brings herself nearly upside-down.)

You gasp at Shaoimhe!

Shaoimhe sings in a soprano voice:

"And Medir himself is quite the Rakash to know, as if you couldn't tell

He's creative and funny and I am quite sure there is nothing which he wouldn't excel

Put it all together and you have quite the place, and for what more could we ask

So now raise your tankard, or pint glass, or flask!"

You fan yourself.

Ophidian says, "Whos puppy."

Raising his gypsy misthaze to Shaoimhe, Stelling gives her a toast.

Ophidian says, "Its not letting me leave with out it."

Ophidian ponders.

(Shaoimhe finishes her handstand just as she finishes the verse, stool wobbling but still miraculously balanced. Her feet point proudly into the air and she beams triumphantly through the concentration on her face. Smart enough not to push her luck, she pushes herself rather quickly and forcefully, letting the stool clatter to the ground while she lands herself back upright, panting.)

You grin at Shaoimhe.

Zersha lets out a hearty cheer for Shaoimhe!

Allye beams at Shaoimhe!

Nawain says, "Were you lying across the door, Miss Wiggles? Silly pup."

Daerlynn lets out a hearty cheer for Shaoimhe!

Nawain lets out a hearty cheer for Shaoimhe!

Shaoimhe sings in a soprano voice:

"Now I am just a little thing, you see

One drink for you is three for me

But 3 or 5 or 10 or more

Nights at Medir's are never a bore!"

You just feel so pleased with yourself, you can't help letting out a hearty cheer.

(Shaoimhe clacks the mugs still in her hands together, bowing.)

Shaoimhe exclaims, "Now drink up!"

Vixonia lets out a loud "Huzzah!" for Shaoimhe!

Ysindre lets out a hearty cheer for Shaoimhe!

You point at Shaoimhe.

You recite:

"Now drink up!"

Raising her scotch to Shaoimhe, Nilme gives her a toast.

You recite:

"I have your winners. Curious? I know y'are. But first I'd like to hear more from one of our esteemed drinkmakers. Kami? Would y'share a couple words?"

Kamisama bows.

You grin at Kamisama.

Darkewolff throws his dart at a two-colored dartboard and...

Darkewolff throws his dart at a two-colored dartboard and...

He hits a *double BULLSEYE*!

Gragnel winces.

Allye giggles at Gragnel.

Gragnel falls over.

Kamisama recites:

"Bootlegger's Bourbon was born either from a vision sent from Glythtide himself, or waking up on the floor of The Golden Heron, staring one-eyed at the latest performance of The Halfling Hustle while feeling like I had for some reason head-butted a ram, still having the stale taste of Granny's #3 on my tongue. I fail to remember which."

Darkewolff winks at Gragnel.

Kamisama recites:

"It dawned on me at that point that the majority of corn consumed on Elanthia is wasted on the plate, rather than as a gateway to a more refined means of inebriation."

You nod in agreement.

Gragnel says to himself, "I knew I should have just stayed in the chair."

Kamisama recites:

"While running trails to calm Kalika's constant nagging, I began to take note of the vast number of farms not far off the trail, and used said trails to...

Tactically acquire a few honey aging barrels and enough corn to make an initial run. This was very well received by the various barmaids...

Err...

Tavern owners with whom I visit in my travels."

You try hard not to grin.

Kamisama recites:

"The name Bootleggers Bourbon spawned from using those same ranger trails to bypass any official tariffs or border stops on my journey to share the occasional crate of bottles with various establishments in the provinces I visited while avoiding guild training."

You nod.

Nawain grins at Kamisama.

Raising his gypsy misthaze to Kamisama, Stelling gives him a toast.

You exclaim, "Thank you!"

Vaerek says, "I'm in favor of this Bootleggers Bourbon."

Daerlynn looks at Kamisama and applauds!

Vixonia says to Shaylynne, "Tavern owners.. mmmhmm."

You recite:

"If y'haven't tasted one of these you're in for a treat. Alright! We have our top three, who will move on to th'next round."
