Red Fireball
Cassie is picky about her wines
“Mitch. You there?”
“Yes. What do you need?”
“I’ve just run out of Fireball. Could you go fetch me another bottle?”
“Cassie, is it wise for you to drink this much?”
“Are you questioning how I choose to spend my fortune?”
“N-No, not at all. But I worry one cycle you’ll drink yourself into a stupor and squander it all away.”
“Oh, please, I’d never do something like that! Now, go get me another bottle.”
“At once.”
~~ Red Fireball ~~
The original spiced wine, made on Boldefeu Island
“Our finest red wine renown for its for its fruity flavor and the fiery punch of the Boldefeu ‘Fireball’ Fleur seeds that can only be found in the Augenta Archipelago. Our winery has been producing Red Fireball for many centuries, with this classic recipe being one of our most beloved drinks for any occasion and enjoyed by all types of beings.”
“This was the only bottle I could find.”
“Really? I doubt that.”
“With the war, most imports have ceased. Not to mention that the Augenta Archipelago is under the Guardian’s control.”
“Blah, blah, do you think I care about the winery itself? I’d buy it if I could. It’d be a very profitable business investment, what with how popular Fireball is around here. Maybe I can even…”
“Why would I lie to you about this being the last bottle on Korodon?”
“Because I know you, Mitch.”
“You’re opening it now?!”
“Why not? Let’s celebrate your find! Come, I’ll pour you a glass.”
“Thank you, but I rather not drink while I’m still on duty.”
“Well, with a mindset like that you’ll never have the time to sit down and have some fun. Come, come! Do you like Fireball?”
“I… actually don’t, no.”
“Well, then, you can pull down a wine from the rack and have a glass of that instead. And don’t worry if they’re open or not. I can always send you to get some more.”
“Cassie, I still have other things you asked me to-”
“Mitch.”
“…Yes?”
“Sit. And drink.”
“Of course.”
