Back into it.

The bar settles and un-settles. It's restless, a little bit, wood shifting with the changing heat of an oncoming morning. You can feel sun straining through the windows and the dingy setting brightened up not just by that light, but by the patrons who come alive, like they've always been. Even though it's the same place you've been the last year, or the last day, it feels like home. All the inane contraptions and ingredients in storage grow familiar with each passing moment. It's all got a verve to it, doesn't it?

It's all got what you need.

You retrieve a handful of ingredients you've been planning to use, and get going with Dep's drink! Something in a mug sounds good, and you're going to utilize your skills from earlier- involving that antimatter matterhorn- to knock it out of the park-bar.

With a couple taps and keystrokes, you finish the settings you wanted to fill out, and try to find a 'confirm' button. For some reason, the page just keeps going and going...?

As the PDA keeps bleeping along, you set it aside to finish mixing the base of Depricae's drink in the Unshaken. The ingredients are ready, but... you feel as if you could herb it up a bit still.

Stax weakly chuckles. The notion of staying still because he's already still seems familiar.

Depricae leans over. Although antsy, it seems like it's warming up to the idea of standing up for itself around you, and asks politely for status on its drink.

Indeed, with a little tip of the Unshaken, you start pouring out a glimmering liquid through the plant strainer affixed to the top of the mug. It's a heck of a concoction, and it seems to make everything around it semi-transparent.

Mordicae scoffs a bit.

With the drink finally complete, fizzing and glowing through the mug, you set it in front of Dep, leaned slightly towards Mordi, in case she actually wants to take her own chomp out of it.

Stax continues to look a little uncomfortable.

With its drink in its hands, Dep happily nods, and starts sipping at it. The lack of weight and substance, even in the airy moss, seems to do wonders for its self confidence. It looks like it feels less like drinking, and more... absorbing.

She gives Voronezh a harsh look for a moment, then turns back.

Stax is asking for input.

...oh. That means it's time to... stop being for a while, and then get suggestions. Your sacred moss sinks.

The walls of the bar start shifting and closing in. You thought you could make it and be alright when things went back to status quo, but now it's hurting, and you're hurting. You don't want this to stop.

The star leans in close. He seems genuinely concerned.

At this point, you're not too sure who you're talking to anymore, or why. Stax looks at you with the most puzzled look on his face.

With a helpful enthusiasm, Stax joins in.

Well... that's that, then. You've got to pick which bug to let Stax handle.

There's also the question of Inertia, the PDA, whose name you're starting to question and regret picking, but which is now asking for input-- are you ready to see Starnet? Is there anything else you'd like to ask?
