Yes, the Town Fountain has a drinking fountain next to it in the town square, so you can drink here too. You fancy a drink, do you? Well, here at the fountain the water's fresh and pure - but surely you'd rather go to the Aroma cafe or the Forum and Firkin?

Thanks!

Why, thank you! 
*looks suspiciously at water*
Is it hard water or soft water?

It's wet water, so perfectly drinkable.
It's water without limescale etc.

Ming Mang Posted Jun 10, 2000
Well, just so long as it's water, I suppose...
*drinks water*
Actually, it's really quite nice!!

Yes, it is, isn't it?
In the old Fountain we had a contract with Shazz where she used it to make luxurious ointments for her Relaxation room - I guess I should put a link and mention it from here, shouldn't I?

I thought a Fish like you should really swim in water, like at:

Hmm, handy this fountain, isn't it...

Well, you may want to go on a water slide - you can't normally do that in fishponds, even if they do have waterfalls!
But you're right - always good to have a nice drink handy.

It least the tap-water doesn't have sulphur in it, like a spa, and taste like rotten eggs.

Bluebottle Posted Jun 15, 2000
Very true. It just tastes of that empty water taste, which is nice.

I guess it was kinda me who built this fountain, my fishy friend. Or at least, I put it here. Which is about the same thing.

*shows up for duty, clocks in at the punch in time clock on the side of
the fountain, looks around, decides that not too many people could drown in a
fountain, but decides to watch closely at every drink, just in case*
Um, Hello Everyone... Sorry, if I seem a bit distracted...Just taking care...
