All booze has to come from somewhere, and in the Natura region, nowhere is a better alcohol provider than the Vida Vi Vineyard. With over 3,000 acres of land, the vineyard is the main proprietor of alcohol and various wines. It's located in the north eastern of Natura border, just a short distance from Aqulea, where the climate is best for the vine-fruits. The land consists of a tall house, a small apartment complex, and a facility where the wine is made, and the rest behind them are the fields.
The house, although tall, only has two floors, for the owner and entrepreneur of the Vineyard, Acisen Adenay, a Nechur beastfolk based on the Dinopis spider. The small complex beside it houses a few dozen ant drone beastfolks she "acquired" from her last visit of a nest while they were still eggs. They all work out in the fields and winery, knowing only their work since the day they hatched and raised by Acisen. The ant drones have also made an system of small tunnels under the fields, to allow water to flow in case of flooding, and a large storage basement under the three buildings that goes for three stories down, where they store their wine and alcohols.

A small group of Valross arrive near the entrance of the Vineyard, and they start approaching the towards the center of the tall house. The biggest of the group bellows when they are near it, "Hey, anyone home?! You have some customers out here!"

A shadow looms over the group from behind as well as a series of clicks. Acisen was exiting one of the underground tunnels from storage when the Valcross yelled. She speaks in a somewhat cheery tone, "You don't have to shout, deary." Each of her eyes focus on a different Valcross.

The lead Valross laughs. "Well, we didn't know where you were, so we decided to call. So we are here for some of your finest mead and grog."

Acisen nods with a large grin and gestures toward the larger building. "Wait over there dearies. I'll retrieve them. Enough for your group I suppose?"

The lead Valross responds, "Yes, and a sample for the king of Verime." One of the smaller Valross chuckles and mumbles something about a sample to him would satisfy a small army of Valross, but is cut off mid-sentence with a strong nudge and a stare staying, "Can you shut your trap?"

Acisen turns as she hears the mumbles and pouts a bit, jokingly. "Shame, a sample that big would be great for business." She heads back down the storage to grab a bottle of drink for each individual and took the sample in a fancy container that she uses for royalty. Afterwards she heads back to the complex as one of the ant servants occupies the group.

As the other Valross group crack jokes while waiting for Acisen. The lead Valross looks towards the ant worker for a moment, then stands there thinking about how much the Big Boss of the Valross would try to drink if he came to this vineyard himself.

The ant blinks silently, watching them as Acisen can be seen in the distance, a few bottles in each claw and a fancy bottle in a sling around her torso. She holds her claws out to them, one bottle for each. She has her usual inviting, but kinda creepy, grin as she holds them out. She looks to the ant and blinks, "Is something off, sweetie?" The ant nods and points out to the field. She looks out to see a couple ants, helping another ant as if it was wounded. Her grin fades and she sighs, "Not another one..."
