A beat passes.
You get some great ideas for an ultra-light drink after close examination of The Cabinet! Sure, water's a good idea-- but liquid helium, some stabilization, and the opposite of something incredibly heavy (antipodal shard plus matterhorn chunk) all seem like fantastic additions. You start by putting the aforementioned shard in the Unshaken, then crushing a matterhorn chunk to sprinkle inside after it.
You retrieve something else you'd been cooking up under the bar, by the radio.
Arivv squirms a bit, trying to contain Ziczhz's excitement within the neck squad.
Suddenly, after enjoying triver drink for a bit, Klaxon sits up straight, clutching the star-filled plum in one hand, and glancing around the bar. Trive seems... rather stunned, for some reason, triver eye going wide.
You lean forwards, curious.
Laren reaches around the Cardli neck squad to try and reassure Klaxon, holding triver shoulder.
Vebbin seems quite fed up. You can relate. This is a little too chaotic for your tastes, and you've never been fond of very blatant, obnoxious sideplots.
Suddenly, the Homeowner floats up out of his chair.
But it's no use. In a single frustrated motion, Vebbin has floated out of the bar satisfied with his drink but completely unsatisfied with the other patrons.
Stax stands up, too, frowning.
Stax has left the bar, having had an overall good day at the Starwood Bough, to run after Vebbin. He'll be back another time. You have gained thirty red glass tokens.
You take a long breath. That was out of your control completely, but it still feels frustrating to have people leave in a huff. You did your best for Vebbin, and yet...
Speaking of which. Amidst the chaos, you did manage to finish Depricae's order-- and you're pretty damn proud of the result.
The CES scout lights up almost immediately, seemingly embarassed and ecstatic about the display-- astounded that you'd put such care into its drink.
Still, Laren is remarking over the events of the past minute, hunched over the table, making circles in the wood with her finger.
The idea of Laren's order comes to mind again. Maybe that'd be a good distraction!
As the discussion wraps up, however, another patron enters the bar, pushing open the door with its long, giraffe-like head. Atop its neck, its crystalline, angular head cycles through four colors at an astonishing rate-- and its two eyes, which appear as a one and a zero, glance around interestedly.
Bave? investigates first, as the unknown patron approaches the bar.
Well, that's troubling. Yet another order coinciding with Laren's meal. You just can't catch a break!
Time to work out a strategy.

After finishing Depricae's rather strenuous order, you've gained a handful of new ingredients in The Cabinet, as well as EYE's information in The Lineup! In addition, thanks to your contributions to the YWUNIVERSE mashup known as Irregular Pulse, you now have 18 new entries on characters that have not yet been seen in You Wake Up in a Bar.
