Lalapril Day 19: Toast
Nothing needs be said when it comes to dwarfs and their bottomless stomachs for ale and all. Where drinking is a constant celebration day in and day out.

The return of the night was an event worth celebrating for many, many nights to come.
Long had the dwarves and all of Norvrandt toiled beneath endless light. The weather never changed. Not even the clouds could blot out the blight that reigned above. As if the heavens rained down ceaseless blinding rays and sineaters that would one day snuff them out for good.
Until a warrior of darkness changed all of that.
Now? Now the skies bore different emotions and arrays of expressing themselves. Though there were clear days, there were also those with clouds, of wind and storm, of bountiful rain. Changing colors from pinks and reds to dark blues and purples… most special of all the stars that dotted the skies at night. Where one could see the appearance of a moon even!
Pipitt remembered the first night he climbed up upon tallest buttes and cliff sides that gave him the best of views. Of the world changing… the world moving. Something he and many others thought they would never see in their lifetime. A sight that bade give one hope.
“There’s a whole world out there.” The young dwarf spoke to themselves, eyes wide in wonder beneath their helm.
No longer did he wish to remain tied to home and tradition. Where they constantly feuded over land and resources between the Tholl and Goggs. Rarely ever to leave their underground homes. Not when a brand new age and era were right before them. The stars ever calling him for adventure.
The future called to him. And Pipitt would answer the call with fellow dwarven brethren in tow.
Lalapril Day 15: Star (Dwarf AU)
When night returned to the First at long last, many a dwarf did leave their underground homes and witness the stars for the very first time. Gazing out into night's sky and admiring a new future to come.

Lalapril - Day 9: Drink
None can hold their drink as much as the dwarves! Especially a certain Pipitt Thol.

“I want ter set out on another adventure.”
“Huh? Are we not already…?”
“How can we call this a grand ol’ adventure ‘n all if we haven’t moved fer weeks!?”
“Well…”
Twas not like Pipitt’s been beating around the bush about it either! Ever since they left ol’ Tomra in search for an adventuring life and seeing all the unknown sights, they had made just a little headway by making it to this grand place of the Crystarium. And what a place it is! Lots to explore, lots of things to do, all kinds of people to meet... plenty!
Except they haven’t moved since.
See, Zurott over here had gotten too comfortable. The Crystarium had been all too happy to lend them a so called ‘apartment’ with plenty of beds to go around, space to keep, the life of an actual home… It had been a step up to the guy’s old cave he had been living in. Which, to be fair, was hard to pass up on. But still…!
Things were too cozy. Too comfortable. And there were still many, many places to see ‘round Norvrandt! And many jobs besides that did not want to be completed by the commonfolk, like that Jarexx fellow.
Pipitt crossed his arms, huffing and pouting beneath his helm. “We ought ta leave now. I saw it myself. A large job board in the center o’ this place, filled to the brim with things to do!”
“We have been doing them!” Zurott interjected, waving his hands as though to explain. “Like helpin’ the Crystalline Mean place, the farmers, the shops—”
“Bah! Easy jobs that any ol’ person can do. I want to get out o’ town and do something big an’ important!”
“But Pipitt… I’m not so sure we’re strong enough for anythin’ like that just yet.”
“We are.”
“Remember the fights we ran into on the way here though? We just barely scraped by—”
“We. Are. Ready!” The taller dwarf huffed again. Any more and you’d swear steam was pouring out of that helm of his. “And if yer still lollygagging by the time I’m ready ta’ head out on the morrow, then I’ll just head out myself!”
“You can’t just go alone…” Zurott groaned. There was no getting past this hard head. Not without getting a beating into the ground that he’d have to heal up after. And he couldn’t ignore that either. He’d have to go too.
“Then it’s a done deal, aye? O’ course it is! You’ll see, we’ll do just fine!” Pipitt threw out a haughty laugh for good measure, but for Zurott he only sensed trouble would befall them. Who knew, maybe they were up to the challenge? Or… was Pipitt simply taking up Jarexx’s challenge to forge him a better hammer if he put his weight’s worth out there?
Either way. As difficult as it was to deal with Pipitt sometimes, at least it was easy to know what was on his mind, the way he spelled it out simply as he does.
Lalapril - Day 15: Armor
