The Root Beer Bar

[Queen Elsa Steelheart she/her]

"Thanks for the Root Beer. This party is going to be root-tastic! I can ask the servants to help us with the streamers, and call for some more servants to help with the party. Would that help?" She smiled and drank some root beer.

"Ah, yes! Thank you so much, Elsa," Brightness said in relief, "That would be absolutely... root-tastic." she said with a grin.

 

She glanced back to the breweries in the back. "Want a root beer float? I've not pulled the ice cream out for fear it would melt before anyone arrives, but I think with your particular set of powers it should be okay."

[Queen Elsa Steelheart she/her]

The Queen chuckled and leaned over to Gerda who stepped on an ice cloud and returned a few minutes later with a whole group of servants, ready to help.

"Yes please, they look delicious. If they melt, I can easily sort that out. Ice powers are pretty....cool." She smiled.

"I can also advertise the party so we can get some more guests."

[Brightness Random she/her]

"That would be wonderful, your majesty! The Bar's felt rather empty lately, so I'd appreciate the advertisement." Brightness glanced around at the servants, who were already finishing up with the streamers.  "Thank you again for all your help, Elsa. And nice pun, by the way. I do so love a good pun. Or a bad pun." she paused for a moment, musing, "Particularly the bad ones, come to think of it."

 

"Oh, here's a riddle for you!" the duchess exclaimed, " The answer's a pun, and I only just thought of it earlier today, so I've been hoping to test it out on someone." she cleared her throat, trying unsuccessfully to get over her excitement. "Okay, so, what color is an honorspren? You get three guesses at most, but I'm fine just telling you, if that's what you'd like."

[Queen Elsa Steelheart she/her]

"The party looks great already! Will there be chocolate?" The Queen smiled.

You couldn't have a party without chocolate.

"I'll advertise the party in my signature and in Newcago. That should bring in some more guests. "

"You are very welcome for all the help, I am always happy to help a fellow Newcagoan. If you ever need anything, just ask."

She paused to think out the riddle. "Is it a red spren?" That was her first guess.

[Brightness Random she/her]

"Yes, yes, yes, yes. Plenty of chocolate. Don't worry," Brightness assured, stunned by the thought of a party with no chocolate, "I just need to pull it out from the back room-" even as she said this, a servant disappeared into the back room, then reappeared a moment later with the first tray of chocolates. "Yes, here we are..." she said, popping a piece into her mouth.

 

"That wasn't quite the answer I was looking for," she told the queen, "Though if I asked about Sylphrena, I think a "read" spren would be fitting, don't you? But no... two more guesses!"

[Queen Elsa Steelheart she/her]

​(I have't really read WOR so I don't have much experience with knowledge on honour spren as I've only read WOK but I'll guess anyway )

 

Queen Elsa eyed the chocolate that the servant had brought out. She walked slowly, but then it turned into a little bit of a power walk. She popped a piece in her mouth before returning to the Duchess to guess the second guess. 

 

"Hmmm....Is it the colour of oaths?" She guessed.

[Brightness Random she/her]

Don't worry. You just need a very basic knowledge of windspren or honorspren to guess correctly. I did stumble upon this pun accidentally, after all.

 

"Nope! One last guess, your majesty." Brightness said gleefully, picking up another chocolate and inspecting it, "Here's a hint, though. The answer to this pun, the punch line, if you will, is a rephrasing of some information on Syl in the coppermind wiki: She normally appears as a young woman about a handspan tall, glowing with a faint blue-white light, but is able to take a wide variety of appearances, such as a ribbon of light or blown leaves."

[ChullRider he/him]

As the title suggests, this Bar (Guild) will be devoted to all kinds of Root Beer. (Ginger Beer included)

"Well," the fresh-faced newbie asks, "what does that mean for me?"

We will be brewing root beer, discussing root beer, writing novels, songs, and poetry about root beer, but perhaps most importantly, drinking root beer.

Root beer lovers of the world, UNITE!!!

We owe no allegiance to any other guild. We might however, set up breweries in other guilds, if they so desire. As a side note, anyone from any other guild is encouraged to have a dual membership with us. (Quiver, you are expressly prohibited from this provision.)

Rootians are neither encouraged nor discouraged from participating in fights.

Well, I shall begin the guild with a member list.

-=-Snoopy

I would like a caffeine-free root beer fountain machine in the Guild of Arts, please. 

Please include:

Barg's

Mug

Shasta

Shasta Black Cherry Root Bear

 

Thank you!

[Brightness Random she/her]

Welcome Devotion, to our humble guild!  ...Want some root beer?  ...Do Shards even drink root beer...?

 

@ChullRider, I would be honored to oblige. Consider it done. (I'll stop by later). I have three questions though,

 

1. Care to stick around a bit for the party? 

2....No A&W root beer?

3. Should I assume you didn't mean a root bear?  When I read that last request, I thought, Shasta Black Cherry Root Bear = A black bear/cherry tree named Shasta.  But don't worry. All our root bears are well trained and make excellent guard animals for your guild.

Wonderful!

1. Sure! I'll have some Mug root beer.

2. Sorry, I forgot to put that on the list.

3. No, I didn't mean to say a root bear.

Well then, have a mug of Mug, ChullRider.  I'll stop by the Guild of Arts later with your root beer fountain, some doodles, and no guard bears.

"Um...This is quite difficult. Oh well. Is it a...light leaf spren?"

 

After the past two guesses, Queen Elsa had really no idea. She guessed anyway. 

 

She popped another piece of chocolate in her mouth and let it melt in her mouth. Chocolate was always amazing.

Elsa took another can of root beer. It just was so delicious.

She turned to the Duchess.

 

"So anything new happening at the Root Beer Bar at the moment?"

[Unhinged he/him]

A few days ago I had a really weird bottle of root beer, is anyone else Familiar with Maine Root? I'm not terribly familiar with artisan root beers (although I have had Saranac soda) so I have to ask does anyone know if this is normal when branching out of the mass produced variety or is Maine root just unique?

[Brightness Random she/her]

@Unhinged, I'd like to say that you've come to the right place to ask, but unfortunately I haven't had many opportunities to branch out. I can say that I've tried a few rather delicious artisan root beers, but I'm not familiar with Maine Root.

 

@Elsa, Not much is new around here. I'm just trying to keep my head above the water root beer in school.   Thanks for asking, though! Have a mug of root beer and some chocolates. Hopefully once things calm down I'll be able to be a bit more active around the 17th shard. Then I shall bring root beer to all people! 

[Mistrunner]

You have another loyal supporter! Can I join?

 

Root beer forever! Root beer and sticks!

[Brightness Random she/her]

Welcome, mistrunner!

We'd love to have you! It's always nice to meet another root beer lover.

EDIT: I'll see if I can get Snoopy to add you name to the member list.

[connormce10 he/him]

I, Cthulhu, hereby request to join thine establishment.

[Brightness Random she/her]

Cthulhu, thine request has been, after careful deliberation, accepted. Welcome to the lands of root beer!

 

So... it may be a little late to ask, what with me already having accepted you into the guild, but what's your opinion of root beer?

[Guest]

Well guys, I'm back, under a new name. Feel free to upvote this post 800 or so times to get me back to my previous rep level. Unfortunately, since I can't get access to my Snoopy profile anymore, I will have to create a new member list here.

Ah well...it's good to be back. Very good. The atmosphere is great, the root beer bubbly, and all is well in my life.

[Brightness Random she/her]

"Hey! Snoo- I mean Kipper! You're back!" Brightness exclaimed, appearing from what had previously appeared to be simply a giant pile of homework. Wading out from the mountain of assignments, the sleep deprived girl reached for a mug. "Here, want some root beer? I'm going to assume you want some root beer, since you came here..."

 

After groggily pouring a mug, she held it out to her former boss. "Here you go, Kip-" she paused for a moment, staring in confusion.  "Are you a fish now?"

[Guest]

"If I were a fish," Kipper demanded, "How would I have walked in here?"

He took the mug swiftly and tilted it up. Just look at this place! A couple months, and...just...wow.

"To answer your question more fully, no, I am not a fish. I am, however, a kandra. Unfortunately, some of my previous body's bones were broken, so I had to get a new one. But now I'm back." Kipper walked around the bar, inspecting the counters and tables for cleanliness. We're gonna have to do some work to get this place up and running. "Brightness," he queried, "are you all alone here? Where are all the guild members?"

[Brightness Random she/her]

"I don't know!" Brightness said in exasperation, tossing up her arms, "Maybe you teleported in! If you hadn't exactly noticed, I wasn't awake and things around here are by no means normal. And have you always been a kandra? Or did you just announce that and blow your cover?"

 

She sighed, brushing some dust and cobwebs off one of the once clean tables with her gloved hand before seating herself there. "I feel like true friends shouldn't keep their kandra-ship from each other." she said, pouting.

 

After a moment of thought, she continued her rambling. "I think I'm alone here... Never know what's hiding in the back rooms, lights haven't turned on since I forgot to pay the electric bill, but I think the garnet chips work just fine out here. No one really comes by anymore. I think they're all off fighting in the War for Vengeance. The Parshendi, under direction of Rayse of course, attacked the Court on multiple occasions, and so we declared war. Everyone keeps getting possessed and attacking each other. It's weird. I just stay in here and make sure to lock the door at night."

"Well, if you knew I was kandra from the beginning, we might not have ever become friends, yes?" Kipper cocked his head to one and spread his hands to the sides.

In implementing this carefully orchestrated pose, Kipper never saw the paint coming.

SPLASH! Brightness, with a exasperated look on her face, unloaded an entire can of bright pink paint on Kipper. "Idiot," she hissed. He stood there like a fish out of water, gasping for air. His clothes, now weighed down by the coral substance, hung from him. "Well...I suppose I deserved that," Kipper glumly said. "I really haven't been around as much as I should have." He turned and looked at the wall. On it was emblazoned a silhouette of Kipper, with his head cocked and arms splayed out to the sides. Pink paint surrounded the image. "Huh. Nice. HEY," Kipper exclaimed as a thought struck him, "Why did you have that pink paint in the bar?! What new decór have you put up?!" He strode up to counter in a rush, the paint forgotten.

Black = Kipper

Green = Brightness Random
