The Dwarves are Invading!

They are here. Among us. Silent, building their strength, biding their time. The only way we know of it is through subtle signs.

You won't have trouble supplying the Countess with cats, or producing the annual idols to be offerred to the castle. Every fortress is a pale reflection of Ghormenghast..

Beer and baby things in one isle? Now the newly-weds will crowd one isle rather than two.

I don't see the problem here. It's just practical logic at work, really.
Seriously, babies and alcohol are both quite popular, sometimes even together, so why not take care of both of 'em in the same section?

It's the 'breeder aisle', containing both the reactant needed for the initiation of most unwanted pregnancies, and the items needed to keep the young'ns alive once they're birthed.. AND the items needed to keep the parents sane in the ensuing years.  Wear a jimmy-cap!

It might be the parenting section of a dwarf store? "Dwarf parents need alcohol to get through their child-rearing day"...
