You Wake Up In A Bar

It takes a bit of consideration to figure out what you'd like to generate first with the Unshaken. The first tempting option is something extremely difficult to get elsewhere-- how about a full cup of flesh-eating bacteria? No, that's too dangerous, and you've endangered Bloomy enough today. Chloral hydrate? While it's helpful, you feel like it's a bit boring, especially since you haven't needed it lately, and could probably test out existing liquids at another time.

No, no, there's one thought that really piques your interest: Liquefied Gorilla. You're not even sure you know what a gorilla is, but this is bound to produce SOMETHING interesting.

Meanwhile, the conversation centered around Laren's being here continues. You decide, in classic Drinkmaster Greene fashion, to be supportive!








The Unshaken is a bit difficult to fully get used to, but you uncover the keypad on the side, which lets you type in a phrase to Generate. While Stax occupies his time washing one of the 3 dirty cups, you start punching in 'Liquefied Gorilla'.














Oh, jeez. You mistype the name as you're distracted by what Sublimate's saying-- a possible risk to your cover here in Terrats! You don't think that glowing gold person would like it if you were suddenly documented on Starnet, even if some details were removed.

Retyping the name takes another few moments as you speak.






Phew.




Ahk!











Finally, typed in correctly! You start to fiddle with the 'accept' button, and in a moment, the Unshaken begins to whirr. The sound is... not pleasant, and you start to wonder where exactly the liquid animal inside is coming from. Hyperspace? Either way, the whirring, grinding, and gentle squealing isn't pleasant.






There's a small readout on the side panel, which you begin to take into memory-- it seems to be a description along the lines of the ones you've seen in The Cabinet, and thus gives you an adequate description of the horrible slurry inside.















As you pour the contents of the Unshaken into a suitable container in your Cabinet, you also clean the golden shaker using its in-built Eraser function, making destroying the contaminants very simple.

You've got an opportunity here! Unless you've changed your mind on payment, Sublimate seems to be happy going out to grab you some ingredients-- but it'll depend heavily on what you want more of, right now. With no real metric as to what ingredients cost or what her and Bloomy's orders were worth, you'll be shooting in the dark a bit; regardless, this is a good opportunity to replenish some of your favorites.

Evening is about to begin. You've got this next turn to wash dishes, generate new liquids, or do any other rest activity, before the patrons begin streaming in once more.

Thanks to the Unshaken's computer readout, you've gained a new entry in the Cabinet on your newly-generated substance.

Author's Notes
Sorry for the delayed update! Had a bit of a busy week, but I want desperately to keep up the pace.

Laren's boss is somebody a few of you might have already met, in a place not so far away.
