With a flavour for everyone!

'Nonnie

GREAT DAY IN THE MORNIN'. WHAT WAS LOST HAS NOW BEEN FOUND! A MORE BEAUTIFUL SIGHT I THINK I SHALL NEVER SEE!

And look, over there! I always suspected it but never thought to see it. Herds of three legged mushrooms traveling across the dunes!

Nonnie, you are an outstanding patfinder.

*Belly-flop*

Thank you, Bear! *blushes*

*puts paw over eyes and peers out over the shores* ... Now where did the rest of the party get themselves off to?

'Nonnie-searching-the-horizon

I don't think they want to get out of the pool. Maybe the don't like whiskey? They probably don't realize that there are plenty tide pools around here filled with a rainbow of alcoholic delights.

That is exactly what the cleric ordered.

*nods* Yeah, you're probably right.. I should have told them all about those... Look over there, a whole river of beer draining right into that rather secluded cove.. and over there a swirl of Laphroaig... and just there, isn't that Guiness?

*paddles around a bit, spashing and gul--erm.. I mean sipping* Ooh, I think I found some Southern Comfort. Not my cuppa in the end, but I seem to recall other members of the party stating a liking for it.

*flips over on back to gaze at strangely dynamic cloud formations* Sush a wudderful day *hic*!

'Non*hic*nie

Ah, there you all are

*surveys the area*

Hey, i like this place

Well done 'Nonnie

*Emerging out of the undergrowth. Stands staring at the whiskey ocean with mouth hanging open.*

Oooh 'Nonnie. Lovely!

*Spots a nearby glacier. Squints. Rubs eyes.*

Does that glacier have large pimento stuffed olives imbedded inside it? I hope its a vodka glacier...

Phew, thats a relief. I thought i was talking to myself there for a second

I'm not sure how vodka freezes however i'm quite prepared to investigate especially if you are right about the olives !!

I'll go with you.

Excellent, after all it will take more than one person to carry back enough olives for this party

I don't suppose you've got an ice pick? Not that i mind licking the vodka glacier, just that it could take us rather a long time.....

*Sits on shore blowing air into multi-colored, circular floatation device*

*Holds out hands and looks down at naked self.*

Ice pick?

How about a fallen branch from one of the crystal trees? It might be strong enough.

*Goes back into the underbrush and comes out with a strong, pointy twigged crystal branch.*

Let's try it anyway. I need a nice martini to take away the taste of all that beer.

*peers back at the beer pool and chuckles softly* Someone may have to go douse those two with.. *gasp* .. water.

'Nonnie
(Hey, isn't that Marv over there?)

Marv comes to floating in the beer. Wow, this is *good* Now all I need are some limes to makes this place an Eden.

Anyone up for a hunt? I saw a couple of lame mushrooms taking up the rear of the herd. Easy pickins'.

No? Where's my net? Feel free to use my floatation device till I return.

*stalks over the dunes*

Wasn't that supposed to be an apple?

'Nonnie-in-the-Canadian-Mist*hic*

No apples. I agree with Marv, it's gotta be the limes.

So do I, but then... I wasn't looking for Eden.

Neither was i. I was looking for mushrooms myself. Couldn't catch any. Fast little bastards.

*dips face in tide-pool of rum*
