Chapter 3.
".Ok, I am going to set up three bottles. We will work in rotation, the
first person to knock down a bottle with this (holds up a very small
dagger), chooses one opponent to chug one glass of wine. By the fifth round
you must have knocked down at least one bottle or you are disqualified. The
person who can walk a straight line by the end of 20 rounds is the winner.
Also, you must stand back this far to throw."
After some folks asked what disqualified meant, the game got started.
(~Yeah, right like any of these Middle-earth people would actually do this, but hey, it's just a fic.~)
"Lets get started then! Hehehe" "Wait what about me! I wanna play, I wanna play too Trunks. Let me play? Please! I really wanna play." "Gohan, you're too young to drink anyway. What would Goku say? You're mother would kill me!" "I won't tell! I won't tell! Dad gave me a taste of beer once!" "Uh, Gohan, I don't know, drinking is for." Legolas interrupted Trunks' excuses, "Let Gohan play, nothings wrong with a little wine, besides most likely people won't choose him to drink lots. I'm sure it'll be fine for this special occasion." (Legolas just didn't want Gohan snooping around his bedroom which was not, to say the least, suitable for a someone of his maturity level.) "Well, Ok but Gohan, behave yourself!" Gohan cackled evilly "We will go from tallest to shortest." "Dammit" complained Gimli "elves get all the advantages." Glorfindel, being the tallest stood back to throw. He took aim. The dagger just barely missed a bottle. Glorfindel looked a bit disheartened. "stupid game" he mumbled Next was Legolas. Legolas had great skill and aim, and most expected him to hit dead on, and he did, however the bottle remained standing. Since most elves aren't partial to drinking a lot of wine, there was only two playing. Also joining in the festivities was Eomer (Eowen's brother). He surprisingly hit the top of a bottle and caused it to fall. He laughed, and chose Gimli the dwarf (who was already fairly tipsy). Gimli stumbled to the table and slammed a glass of wine. Afterwards commenting on it's flavor. Soon enough it was Trunk's turn. "Yes!" he cheered himself on. I choose Legolas to drink! Legolas grabbed a goblet of wine and chugged it back (it dripped down, staining his precious robe, gasp!). The two Kings and their Queens simply sat back and watched all their subjects get drunk. Gimli tried to throw the dagger at first, forgetting to let go, almost stabbing himself with it. "Oops" he shouted. Surprisingly enough, he did get very close to hitting a bottle. Merry and Pippin were always up for a drink or two, though they preferred beer. They lived for these sort of games. The problem was, neither had the greatest aim and they would get drunk much faster. What a weird sort of drinking game, they thought. Pippin threw the dagger, his shot though was too low. "hmmm. dumb asses!" He commented, mimicking Gohan's words. Merry nicked a bottle but it didn't fall. Gohan was the last to throw, everyone watched to see if he would be able to do it. However, when he threw it a small blast of light followed the dagger, smashing a bottle to pieces. "I got one! See!" "Gohan you dip shit! I said no Saiyan powers. I saw that! Now you have to drink! Drink, drink, drink you cheating little dink!" he yelled. (Seeing how most of the others didn't understand modern-english insults, they weren't too shocked.) "It's not in the rules! You're just picking on me. You just made that up. You can't tell me what to do. Don't get your briefs in a bunch!" "Pssst" said Gimli "Come here little guy" Gohan came closer to the dwarf "It's a secret... (mumbled something in dwarfish)" as he spoke weird words Gohan felt the warm sticky alcohol breath on his little face. It made his eyes sting. The dwarf let out a belch, "Oh I'm sorry. Please excuse me," he added with a proud grin; his burp still echoing. "This is great" Gohan said as he tasted the wine. "You have to drink it as fast as you can Gohan, those are the rules! Hehehe, I gotta see this." Gohan took a deep breath and chugged the alcohol.
The night continued for most of them in double vision. Eomer though wobbled, fell and laughed hysterically for a while. Gimli eventually passed out on the table, eventually all of them forgot they were even playing a game. "Dis game is ssoo coool.." commented Trunks "Trunkie is drunkie! Hahahaha" Laughed a wavering Glorfindel "So are you!" Soon enough the hobbits, the Saiyans, the elves (Legolas and Glorfindel) and Eomer wandered off into the dangerous Mirkwood forest (at night. sheesh, duh!). Luckily for them, elves aren't too stupid when drunk, plus the hobbits and Gohan were still somewhat sober. They spent the night wandering through dark woods and trying to keep Trunks in sight. The hobbits and Gohan tried to convince the group to turn back but even Legolas kept telling them not to be babies and that they were just going for a short stroll. Luckily though, the main spider nests are very deep into the forest, and after all a group of drunks don't travel too fast. They were having a great adventure!
The next day Legolas woke them up. Apparently they weren't even very far from the cave entrance, some adventure. Trunks groaned and almost blasted the elf's ass for waking him. "Fuck off" he said and wished he could beat on someone. Gohan insisted that waking Trunks was not a good idea, but it was too late. Glorfindel and Legolas mysteriously seemed fine that day, no effect what so ever. Eomer, Trunks, and Gimli were all so very hung over. Eowen scolded Eomer that day during breakfast. They would begin their real journey, in two days. Speaking of which, the next two days were filled with talking, most revolved around the newcomers. They explained some of their customs, why they wore something called 'de- odourant', and what women were like where they came from (the place in which they always refused to name). They seemed very smart and they also gave a few Saiyan technique demonstrations, they even taught Legolas a little Karate. They became very popular, especially Trunks with the ladies. Elves had never seen someone with silver hair quite like his, they started calling him
