Reply to comment by lstroud21 in [WP] Tea is a beverage full of contradictions, of possibilities. It’s a liquid made from solids, it can be served both hot and cold, it can both awaken and relax. If a portal through realities did exist, is it really so surprising that it would be tea? by Jealous-West-1421

I enjoyed the story! There seems to be an issue on mobile with the formatting of some lines, but other than that it was an interesting read!

This was very well written! I love the inner commentary from Trent, very amusing. Hopefully he manages to rescue his brother, I imagine that inter dimensional testing is not very pleasant.

Reply to [WP] In Orc Society: the bigger you are, the higher your status. A lone orc has found out that he can appear a lot bigger if he were to stand up straight instead of slouch like the others. by FalseWallaby9

Bob was a clever orc. Unfortunately for him, cleverness was not a virtue that Orc's valued in particular. Strength, strength was good, Orcs liked strength, height was great, Orc's loved height, cleverness, wisdom, basic common sense? These were not good, Orcs did not like cleverness, wisdom, or basic common sense. This was not good for Bob. Bob was a short, weak, and very smart Orc. Some of the taller Orc's, the one who had tall strong parents with all the Orc money called him 'nerd'. Apparently that is what they call short, weak, and very smart Orcs in human land. If Bob was being honest, he would rather be a 'nerd' than 'toadstool'. That is what Bob's mother called him when Bob didn't pass the 'height proficiency' each and every year at Orc School. Orcs ate toadstools. And Bob had no particular desire to be eaten. This year, would be different, however. Because tomorrow Bob would not fail the height proficiency test. Bob wouldn't only pass the height proficiency test, he would get the best marks in his class. Maybe he would even be named 'athlete' of the year. Athletes were very tall, at least that was what the Orcs who have been to human land said. Well it didn't really matter, because it was all going to happen. Because Bob was a clever Orc, very very smart. Bob might have been short, and weak, but he was clever, wise, and possessed basic common sense. Bob was a nerd, and Bob was going to be the biggest. And the tallest.
