[Video turns on to show the garden in the background and an Elf in the foreground looking neutral.]

Before the jump, my son and I began making mead. We have returned to...unexpected results.

The different casks, though they were begun at the same time, have...aged differently from each other. One cask is spoilt as though many years have gone by, two are ready to drink, and one has yet to finish fermenting. Do what you will with this knowledge.

As we now have two casks of good mead, one shall be given as promised to Chuck, who provided the honey. The other we will open three nights from tonight, and we invite you to join us on the second level of the gardens with whatever food and drink you wish to provide. There will be music and dancing as ever.

However, remember the gardens provide you food and air to breathe. Enjoy your revelry, but if you so much as bend a leaf you will be asked to depart.

Health and joy to you.

[Fili is looking a bit pale, but better than when Thranduil encountered him last.]

A fine thing we might need.

I have a bit of pipe weed as well, that someone provided me.

Then bring it, by all means, but bring also your instruments.

[longestnose]

Oh, are you hiring me, then?

[sweetbreads]

Do you have anything planned for the spoiled cask?

[elvenking]

To empty out the fouled mead and try again.

[transwarped]

A bit of temporal distortion, is it?

[Fits in with the woman who was around a year. But...hm. He's already jotting a few things down.]

While I'll enjoy a drop or two of the good bits, a sample of the lot sent off to the proper equipment could help us along. In figuring out this madness a bit, in any case.

...I beg your pardon?

[Some accent you got there, bro. He has no clue what you just said.]

Throw in an arm wrestling contest and it'll feel just like The Rising Sun.

[elvenking]

If you like, so long as you harm nothing green. Is the Rising Sun an establishment, then?

[ October's not even going to touch that bit about the mead, thanks. This place already makes her brain hurt enough as it is. ]

What happens if someone bends a blade of grass? [ Smart ass, thy name is October Bantum. ]

They take another step and bend a few more, if they are human.

[sans_evremonde]

Well, that's certainly a kind offer. Is there anything I might bring in return? [Like you've accumulated anything other than a data pad at this point ,Charles, seriously.]

[elvenking]

Food, if you wish.

[BUT WHAT IF HE BENDS A LEAF NOW THRANDUIL, WHAT IF.]

Will you dance with us this time, then?

[elvenking]

But then who will play the drum?

Mead's like... beer, right?

[ beer. ]

[elvenking]

[...That is insulting. Seriously, Faith. See this disappointed face.]

It is honey-wine. It is not like beer.

You appear to have a strong fondness for leaves. [Not judging. Just noting. Fine, maybe judging a little bit. If it helps, though, he also appreciates Thranduil's fondness for mead. That's why Cesare's speaking to him in the first place, even if he's being a little critical too.]

[elvenking]

A strong fondness, yes, and also for breathing, and for keeping Nederlands from banning all future such gatherings. One who lives in the gardens must respect their master.

[vivelavenir]

Your protection of the gardens is very valiant.

It's a curious ship that bends time in ways we would not have men bend leaves, and does the same with directions.

I wonder-- might I ask, were the casks left beside one another directly, or in opposing rooms?

[Video]

[elvenking]

Beside one another.

[ A little cautiously, because seriously he's still sorry about the whole Glaurung thing. ]

The plants appreciate the threat, my lord.

[ ... Okay he might also be a little amused. ]

[elvenking]

You interpret their voices now? But that was for the sake of their true and forever guardian.

video; yes you get both

[fallasleep]

[ He's leaning inward, a little thoughtful. ]

I've never had mead, I think. Is it like beer?

[ Roy 'Ulterior Motives' Walker, hijacking your post. ]

video; yes you get both

[elvenking]

Like wine, and you'll get none unless you come.

[You'll get none if you do come.]
