It starts simple enough:
A six pack of empty green beer bottles appears on the portion of Bar's top closest to the Lake door.

Completely unremarkable, wouldn't you say?

Could the same thing be said about the fifty pound bag of dry cement that appears next to the bottles?

Or what about when a tiny doorway appears in the wall near the painting to the House of Arch, and five little orange men with green hair emerge singing.

"One million bottles of beer in the Bar
One million bottles of beer
We'll take them out
Pass them around

Nine hundred ninety-nine thousand nine hundred ninety-nine bottles of beer in the Bar

Nine hundred ninety-nine thousand nine hundred ninety-nine bottles of beer in the Bar
Nine hundred ninety-nine thousand nine hundred ninety-nine bottles of beer
We'll take them out
Pass them around
Nine hundred ninety-nine thousand nine hundred ninety-eight bottles of beer on the wall..."

As they sing they make their way from their new doorway towards Bar...and then stop and stare at her.

For a few moments there is an awkward silence, but eventually Bar relocates both the bottles and the cement to the floor where the Loompas are now able to access them. With ease they lift the items and make their way out towards the Lake, singing the entire time.

When they are gone Bar produces twice as many empties, and another large bag of dry cement.

[Reactions mostly, though the Loompas wouldn't say no to some help. One million bottles are nothing to sneeze at.]

What.

In the Void.

Are those.


..... seriously, what.

[makesthings]

Sam spills some ink on his current sketch as he watches the procession. Maybe they're building a wall of beer bottles?

"What in...?" says the Starfleet ensign a little bemusedly, fork suspended in midair. Small orange people she's fine with, but what's with the multitude of empty bottles? And the singing?

And the... cement. Oh dear.

She'll get back to those eggs in a second.

By the time Sariel makes her way outside there's a pyramid of bottles taller than the average-sized human man positioned precariously on a barge in the Lake. On another barge is a similarly stacked number of cement bags.

The Loompas appear to be stacking things as high as Milli-logic will allow before shoving off towards ... well where are they going?

One would have to get on either barge to find out.

[visible_sariel]

Aaaaand Sariel will not be getting on either barge, say thankya and say sorry. There's exploration, and then there's inviting oneself to somebody else's unknown... uh, whatever unknown this qualifies as.

Strange, though. Maybe someone inside will have a better idea about this one. It's worth asking.

Excuse her, Loompas. Howevermanyseventy bottles of beer onna barge... and a slightly puzzled ensign back inna bar...
