32nd Inning

[freakinblur]

[There's something going on outside 1451 Mitchell today! Two people, specifically Scout and Ema Skye, are sitting at a card table at what looks to be a lemonade stand. Except it's not a lemonade stand. There's a hastily-made, messy sign hanging up front reading "DELICIOUS HOMEMADE LIQ DRINKS, 5 CENTS". There's several pitchers and cups out on

[Prussia's super alcohol senses are tingling! He drifts closer to the stand eagerly.]

Hey, is that beer? I want some!

[freakinblur]

HEY. PRUSSIA. Oh man. No beer. Haven't figured out beer yet. We're gettin' there. How 'bout. Um. This one's made with apple? [Hands you a cup.]

[glowing_science]

[Ema swats at Scout's hands.] Hey, hey, he has to pay for it first!

[Turns to Prussia and holds out a hand.] Five cents.

[armywithcountry]

As long as it's stronger than the sissy shit they sell hear, I'll try anything.

[Slams down a nickel in her hand.] Better be good, otherwise I'm asking for it back!

[freakinblur]

'Course it's good! We made it! It's amazing. It's killer.

[He hands you a cup. And, well, for being homemade booze being sold on the street, it IS actually pretty good!]

[glowing_science]

Ow. Who taught you how to hand over money? [Ema drops the nickel into the Money Jar.]

And it's the best ever. Scout and I are geniuses.

[armywithcountry]

Don't be a weakling!

[Takes a sip. His eyes widen appreciatively.]

Hey, this is pretty good! Not nearly as awesome as my beer, of course, but still way better than America's shit.

[He empties the cup.] Hand me more!

[freakinblur]

I told ya it was good.

Gimme yer money!

[glowing_science]

That's the power of SCIENCE! [Laughs for no good reason at all.]

We're better than America!

[armywithcountry]

Way better than America! Not that that's hard.

[Slams down a dollar.] That's . . . goddamn stupid American currency . . . twenty cups right there! Gimme more alcohol!

[freakinblur]

YES. Alright. Go ahead. 'S all yers man.

[All the alcohol varies. Some is really strong, some is really flavorful, some is downright terrible!

Scout turns to Ema.]

This. Was. The best idea. EVER.

[glowing_science]

It was! We should have thought of this sooner~ [Science and alcohol and making a bit of pocket money--what's not to love?

Ema starts pouring cups, but gives up after a bit and just hands Prussia one of the bottles.] Here. For being our best customer!

[armywithcountry]

Maybe I should try making beer. Denmark's beer isn't half as good as mine, anyway.

[Grins at Ema and toasts her with the bottle.]

Hell yeah! 'Course I'm the best, I'm awesome!

[freakinblur]

YES. BEER. Can you make beer? We were gonna try that. Later. This was our first run. Beer's hard. Takes more... science.

[glowing_science]

I am ALL ABOUT making beer! You can go into business with us! Scout, Skye, and... Prussia!

It has a nice ring to it. [No, not really, but Ema's not clever when she's drunk.] What do you say?

[armywithcountry]

Of course I can make beer, I'm Prussia! Our beer's the fucking best! No one else compares! Especially not that loser Denmark!

[Thoughtful pause.] Well, I don't usually make alliances this quickly, but when it comes to alcohol, hell yeah! Let's get this shit ratified!
