Jake plopped down into the chair behind his desk exhausted from a long day of brewing. The demands of the brewery grew with every year, especially with exports of Badsider now shipping to destinations outside of Rhydin proper. Who would have guessed it would be popular with spacers?
It was several moments before the orc spotted the stuffed figure sitting innocuously on the corner of his desk. Jake squinted, then blinked, to make sure it was not one of the goblins sitting there. Finally, the orc reached out and grabbed the plushie and pulled it close to inspect it more closely. Was this supposed to be an orc plushie? Wait...was this supposed to be himself? Jake stared for a long moment. Then he noticed the note that had been sitting under the plush figure.
Jake picked up the note with his free hand and began skimming.
"Hey Jake! Hope you like it! Mojo and the goblins helped. Isn't it great?
Love, the Empress."
"P.S. It's already started shipping!"
It's already started shipping...
Jake read that part again. Wait. What??? "Shipping?"
"Shipping where???"
