Hullo again! I hope everyone is well!

[Yes that's right Aefenglom...your favourite Lalafellian entrepreneur is back and has clearly been...busy? She seems to be in her kitchen, a set of distilling equipment behind her, various metal and glass containers connected with piping and tubing to create an apparatus that's purpose soon becomes clear. The confident little lady is proud of herself as she stands on a chair in all her three feet of glory, large glass bottles grasped in each hand. The one on the left sports a liquid with a light blue hue to it and what seems to be golden flecks that shimmer as they float about. The other bottle though holds a liquid that looks like a rosé in color, seemingly innocent enough, until one notices the small but very apparent wormlike larvae whose bio-luminescent skin gives off a faint green glow.

She gives each of the bottles a shake, the flakes and larvae floating about respectively.]


I've been attempting to recreate a few of the most popular spirits one can find in Ul'dah and I've almost managed to get the recipe juuust right! Of course it isn't perfect, as ingredients here are a bit different to what's available in Eorzea...but so far I'm happy with the result! The blue one here is said to make the drinker see stars if they have too much of it and this one [Yeah, the worm one...] well they say if you can down a whole bottle you'll be strong enough to take down a rampaging goobbue with your bare fists!

[She sets the two bottles down on the table so she can talk with her hands, as one does.]

While these spirits suit my own palette just fine, I wanted to survey how other Mirrorbound might find them, so I'm looking for willing taste testers, if you will! The more the merrier. If you like what you taste I'll give you a bottle of it to take with you. If you don't, then I'll buy you a drink of your choosing.

[What's there to lose, right?]

And speaking of brews...does anyone have a particular favourite drink from where they hail from? If so, what is it? I'd love to hear about it, alcoholic or otherwise!

[For science, naturally.]

[ Yona is still adjusting to these sorts of messages - she's seen them a time or two, but had yet to try responding to one. But the sight of Tataru in this one catches her interest and she watches with curiosity as the girl sets forth her proposition. Unable to resist, she attempts to set up a connection to reply, hoping she's doing this right. Luckily, it seems to work! ]

You seem to have been very busy! They both look very interesting! I'd be willing to try, if you like? I can't say that I've ever had a drink that looks like either of those before... Back home, some of my favorites were wines infused with sakura petals. But there was one popular brew made with honey that was commonly found in many taverns that was very delicious, as well.

Of course!

[ Bravery is rarely something Yona lacks, at least. ]

I think it sounds very interesting to try something new from lands so far away. I think that's one of the things I'm enjoying the most about this place. Everyone seems to come from so many varied and different lands.
