Monday: September 10, 2007
Who: Frar, Fror, and Open (to many many people!!!)
When: Early evening
Where: In front of the wine bar
What: Handing out samples of their new ale

"Come'n'get it!" Cried out the stout dwarf as he stood in front of a well-built drink stand with the words FREE ALE painted in bright, decorative letters across the top portion of the stand. Frar and Fror had carted down a dozen barrels of their 'specially' brewed ale from the Dwarven caves just for the purpose of trying it out on the citizens.

"New recipe!" He continued to say out loud as he passed out miniature mugs to anyone who passed by. "Same great taste but with extra ooomph court'sy o'the magically enhanced hops!" His pipe was held firmly in the corner of his mouth, and there were occasional puffs of smoke rising into the air. Frar smiled at the citizens and even flirted with some of the women as he continued with his 'advertisement' of the new ale.

"C'mere lad!" He called to a healthy looking young man. "Y'be the type who kin hold yer ale?" The boy nodded and Frar slapped him happily on the back.

"Thataboy!" The dwarf grabbed one of the miniature mugs and handed it to the stranger. "Take a sip o'that and tell me what be y'thoughts?" The boy looked at the dwarf oddly but decided to take the offer and downed the mug of ale. Within moments the boy was smiling and swaying on the spot.

"That's the..." He hiccuped and grinned. "Thaaaaaaaaaat ish the best-" The boy hiccuped again and grabbed a hold of Frar's shoulder for support. "I love you, man! Can I have more?"

Frar grinned and handed the boy another mug. "There ye have it folks! The best ale in all of Elysium, free to try but only today!"

Frar looked over his shoulder at his brother and winked at him. Their new recipe was a hit and he was sure that all twelve barrels would be emptied within the next few hours.

Idehr happened to be on one of his occasional trips to Helicharis when he walked by the wine bar and was intrigued by the free ale sign. Granted, most things were either free or traded, but free was free and he couldn't resist. Clad in his usual dark blue hoodie, he stepped up to the dwarves. "May I have some?" he asked politely.

The smell of the ale was much stronger than he expected and he supposed that perhaps it was an experimental drink. Throwing caution to the wind, Idehr threw back the mug in one gulp and swallowed, blinking as the strong alcohol slid down his throat. It was unusual, but strangely addicting. "It's good," he said. His head was considerably more light-headed and the edges of his vision started to blur as he set the glass on the table. "You two must have good constitutions in order to enjoy this."

Fror was sitting to the side of his brother, close to end of the stand that promoted their free ale, the most powerful stuff they had brewed yet! As usual, the older dwarf was puffing on a long pipe. Grey smoke rose from the upward opening at the end, some of it also leaving his mouth at the corners. He had brought out there with himself a chair to sit in, protesting to the of standing up the whole time. Fror was much lazier than his younger, more energetic brother, Frar.

The older dwarf was the picturesque sight of a older, chubby man resting out on his porch with a rocker and a pipe. Only he was a dwarf, not that old, and still had color to his hair. "Aye, aye," he said in a low, rumbling voice. "Very good ale, me friend. Took us a damn near century t'brew it, I say. Potent stuff fer the potent bodied! Whatever 'hat means . . . "

Fror huffed and turned to his brother, a billow of smoke seeming to come out of his mouth as he spoke after a puff on the pipe. "Didn't think 'hat thing'd make ale this powerful," Fror said aloud, nodding his head slowly up and down. "Magically enhanced hops," Fror muttered, laughing with his mouth closed and low rumble in his belly that made him shake a little.

Idehr thought that another mug wouldn't hurt him, though he wasn't sure the dwarves wanted to give him one. If that were so, he had to respect their wishes. For now, he decided, What the hell? and glanced at the older dwarf. "May I have another one?" he asked. Perhaps it was dangerous to have so much alcohol in his system, but he did not care. Once he started on something, especially when it involved intoxication, it was difficult for him to stop short of passing out. "So you magically enhanced it? Can any plant be magically enhanced? And what happens when you do? Does it hurt them?" Apparently he became more talkative, the more alcohol he drank.

"Because I can talk to plants, you know? I can sense if they're unhappy and they're annoying things when they are," he said with a small smile. "So, tell me what your special dwarf abilities are besides brewing alcohol and growing hair. I can hide my teeth too." Now it seemed that his tusks were no longer hidden and he slid the hood off his head. There, he was going to try to drink them under the table or something similar.

"Talk to plants, do ye?" Frar asked with a raised brow. He handed the orc another miniature mug of ale and grinned. "If' these hops could talk they'd say they know exactly how Elves grow to be so tall!" Frar snickered and cast a wink over to his brother when an interesting thought entered his head. What if they could grow taller from magically enhanced fruits, veggies and meat! They'd be as tall as Elves then, wouldn't they! Damn Elves would have to horde their height over the Dwarves anymore!

Frar's eyes widened and he smiled at Ide. "There ye go lad, drink it up. It'll make you nice and strong, and it'll grow hair on yer chest." That's what he told everyone whether they had hair on their chest or not. Frar himself had a nice hairy chest - Dwarven women loved it. Said it was manly. And what man didn't like to be manly? Girly men confused Frar and only made him want to toughen them up a bit.

"Here 'ave another mug, lad." Frar gave him another miniature mug and basically lined the front of the stand with mug upon mug of ale. Yes, this ale would be a BIG hit.

Idehr smirked as Frar gave him another mug of ale with the promise he'd receive chest hair - not that he needed any more. "Thanks," he said and shifted to the side so other people could have some of this wonderful concoction. He had been looking for something as powerful as this for depressing occasions and he hoped they'd make more of it for them. A thought occured to him. "You definitely need to make more of this in the future," added Idehr and promptly gulped down half of it.

Yeah, now he could reeeeally feel the effect of the ale now. "Damn, this is good," Idehr said and thumped Frar heartily on the back. "You should treat your dwarven woman with a glass and make sweet hairy love all night long." It made him want to find someone for himself now. Where was a good orc woman when he wanted one? He made sure his hoodie was not over his head and looked around until... he saw her. Mine, he thought and walked over to her as casually and sexily as he could - despite swaying a bit from the alcohol.

"Hi, I'm Ide," he said, "and you are really, really beautiful. I've never gone up to any woman and said stuff like this but I had to with you because you're so fit. You prolly hate green skin too but I don't care.. D'you want to go dancing? You look like a great dancer. I've never danced before." He grinned at that. The sheep or Edith certainly didn't teach him that!

Fror chuckled behind his pipe, the low rumble shaking his belly. The orc boy said something about sweet hair love all night long. "Lad's got 'is mind on somethin', innit that right, Frar?" Alcohol always made people admit the truth of one thing or another they were suppressing . . . at least from what Fror heard about the stuff from the humans. Fror chuckled again and smoked his pipe, a thick trail of smoke curling up into the air in front of him.

Just then, the green lad sauntered over to a nearby female and began talking to her! Fror was slapping his knee by then, pointing off at the fellow with his free hand. "Look at 'at!" he exclaimed, trying to get his brother's attention as the other dwarf passed out more mugs to a group of teenagers. "Boy's gon' get lucky t'night! Magical hops, 'hoo 'hoo 'hoo." Fror slapped his knee again and reached out for a mug.

"Here, gimme a sip now," he said with raised eyebrows, hinting how he'd like to get himself a woman sometime soon. Frar probably wouldn't allow him to drink on the job, though. They were supposed to be promoting the new ale, not chatting up women!

His confidence while intoxicated did not help him as much as he might have liked. The woman blinked as he walked to her and started to talk. No doubt his rambling was too much for her and her gaze shifted to the right of the orc uncomfortably.

"Sorry, but I'm not... interested," the woman half-muttered and started to edge away from him. He let her go with a frown and figured there was something wrong with her if she did not want to do anything. Ide made a face and turned back to the dwarves, looking as Fror wanted some of the ale. What was wrong with him trying to have something to drink?

He glanced at the two and furrowed his brow. "I'm sure it won't hurt to have a little ale on the job." His head started to hurt and he rubbed at his eyes in order to fix it.

Frar grabbed a bigger mug from the square box underneath their beer stand and filled it up with the scintillating brew. Frothy and strong, just smelling it would get a normal human a little tipsy. But the lad with the green skin was an orc and orcs needed more than one mug to get them feeling good. But Frar was a dwarf who thought ahead, he figured that there would be a few of those bigger folks around the town who would need it. He handed Ide the larger mug and grinned.

"Dun ye'worry about tha'lass. Drink' up! There are plenny'o'fish in da'sea!" Frar practically shoved the mug into Ide's hand and then cast a sideways glance at his brother. "Well, what are ye'lookin' at? Have a drink and be done with it." Frar smirked and poured his brother a mug and then poured himself one. Magical hops indeed - they should have planned their caper sooner with results like these!

More people came by showing an interest in their ale and Frar poured each of them miniature mugs. The crowd that had gathered was beginning to feel the effects and was becoming louder by the minute. Frar smiled and crossed his arms over his chest. This was a good day indeed.
