The sun was shining bright and hot over the boardwalk. Another sunny, cheery day in the Vasty Deeps. The dry air blowing a cool breeze, Primes and citizens alike froliccing in the cool green ocean, palm trees swaying in the breeze, seabirds calling. As close as you can get to Paradise in the Omniverse.
SPRITZ SPRITZ SPRITZ
"This damned heat! Doesn't it ever rain here?"
The Ferengi hung up a plastic squirt bottle in the spokes of a brightly colored umbrella that was centered above a large metal pushcart. The cart itself was painted in eye attracting colors, and a marquee proclaiming this as "Ice-zal's Frozen Delights", along with a cartoonish depiction of an alien enjoying an ice cream cone- the very same one pushing the cart.
He was short, with brownish orange skin. A bit weathered looking, but soft, almost mushroom like. A large straw hat barely covered his enormous earlobes, and the billowy shirt he was wearing was even more gaudy and colorful than the sides of his cart. His pants were simple white slacks, and he wore sandals on his stubby feet.
"Frozen delights, here! From the corners of the Vasty Seas!" He called out shrilly, ringing a small bell affixed to the underside of the umbrella that kept him in the shade. "We got flavors you've never seen, ices you've never heard about, and stuff cold enough to last you more than 20 minutes in the Dunes!" Then, almost as an afterthought, he added, "And we got regular flavors for you boring types."
This certainly wasn't as good as his own bar, but Ozal enjoyed selling things. Every item going out meant money coming in. Didn't mean you had to be chesp about it, either. Why not offer strange and exotic things? Who knew what the next fad might be? Which is why he had several vats of experimental treats inside the cart.
Affixed to the umbrella pole was a markerboard with all the flavors on it. As Ozal pulled his cart to a stop, spying some potential customers pulling up, he did a quick mental inventory and realigned the flavor list. "Mm...lemon ice, yep. Cherry Smoothie, Banana Split, Orange Explosion, Limey Sailor, Nexus Nilla and Steppescinnamon, all good. Wait, out of Ambrosian Cocoa." He wiped the flavor off the list.
Now the experimental ones. "Gaghtoberfest...Void Vanilla. Spumante's Abyss, Slug-o-Seltzer, Reverse-a-Cone...and Chumlump."
And that would be how any potential customers would find him, muttering flavors to himself.
