You Wake Up In A Bar

You have picked the skills Intuitive, Phytochemist, Collaborative and Perfectionist.
You'll find these abilities, as well as the Unshaken's abilities, in a handy new tab above Orders!

The bar is still. As the gentle piano and jazzy drum of Greensleeves continues playing along, and moonlight seeps through slats in the dusty windows, the Starwood Bough is a slightly noisy shelter from the wispy, wind-filled landscape outside. The lights have come on automatically, though they don't illuminate the bar much, leaving you across the counter from Laren, washing a dirty cup as you're both lit up by a single well-placed lamp.

You take a long sigh. It's fine that they left without paying. Things are on the up and up-- and hey, you leveled up! That's a much cooler achievement.





Laren lowers her brow a little. She continues eating and drinking-- now with some more pace, thanks to the quietness of the bar.






She shrugs. Absentmindedly, after finishing cleaning a cup, you activate the Unshaken to generate a copy of Nadezhda's drink from earlier in the evening-- the Antimatter Ale, with its quintessential ingredient. You keep it in the Unshaken, for now.














You lean forth, your eyes growing sympathetic.




She stiffens up a little, going upright.





Seems like a tough question. But maybe there's time for tough questions, in these wee hours of the night. Is there anyplace else for you to go?

Night continues on. Slow-paced. Let me know if dialogue's flowing alright!

Hopefully updates will be quick for now and even quicker than this one. Pairtree will update tonight, and then hopefully we'll have another wave on Thursday!
