十一 · what is this foreign thing?

Are the curses this daft, or is there reason to this green liquor replacing all water output?

This foreign beverage leaves a smell of horse feed.

It's called beer. And it's disgusting.

[to_turn_away]

You are familiar with this?

[revengeisalie]

... vaguely.

[to_turn_away]

And?

[revengeisalie]

I told you. It's gross.

[to_turn_away]

Why would you try it if you do not like it?

The deities made a decree to drink one hundred bottles of the stuff within the month. I thought it best not to test my luck, freshly arrived as I was. Luckily, someone else drank the rest for me.

[to_turn_away]

What was the purpose of the decree?

It was not mandatory for all?

This all speaks of ridiculousness.

[revengeisalie]

Like I know! It's not like they ever say why they're doing things, now is it?

[to_turn_away]

Then there is no need to comply if all is senseless.

[revengeisalie]

A few people experienced memory losses after.

[to_turn_away]

Were these losses permanent?

[revengeisalie]

No idea, I didn't follow things further.

[to_turn_away]

Temporary setbacks could be tolerated for a greater goal.

[revengeisalie]

Like "angering the all-powerful beings that like to lord it over us even more"?

[to_turn_away]

Nothing is all-powerful.
