You Wake Up In A Bar

Laren is eyeing Stax with some low contempt-- or at least the strongest she can manage. The way things went earlier clearly aren't sitting well with her.

You just empty out Terry's cup and call it a day. The ice cubes rattle loudly against your sink before drifting towards the drain, destined to meet a melted grave. There's still a few flakes of chowm in the glass, but you decide it's menial, and set things back under the counter, ready to be used for drinks.

Gotta get payment from the bug pair. They sit anxiously-- Voronezh trying to hide his urgency, and Nadezhda making no effort.






























Grumbling to herself, Nad fumbles through various forms of currency in one of her pockets, before finally extracting a smaller pouch full of what sounds like glass coins. She counts out four, and points out that each one is actually worth five tokens.



You are fucking rolling in it.








Nadezhda and Voronezh have left the bar moderately satisfied with their service after paying you.

Stax has not cleared out from behind the bar. He seems to be sticking around, at least for now.

Laren doesn't seem to be moving.

You hear a pair of vehicles pull up to the side of the bar. By next turn, afternoon will begin, and with it, a range of new patrons.

You've got a little time left before then.

Author's Notes
Auuuugh.

I'm sorry for not updating. I'm sorry for being sorry about not updating. I really meant to update yesterday ASAP especially considering it wasn't a particularly compelling prompt and I should really be getting a move on with the story. It just becomes an anxiety loop about not doing it and then feeling terrible and unable to do it. I know it's no excuse, but hopefully it makes enough sense to y'all.
