You Wake Up In A Bar

Your new name, for the time being, is Drinkmaster Greene-- and your bar is named Starwood Bough. You hear something shifting outside, metal and wood grinding into place before stopping. Odd.




The patron scoffs at you, lowering its brow.

can u dab

Why do you look like me?

You begin asking questions rapidfire, hoping to zoom through some of your bigger concerns about this job.















The patron points out a green bottle, and then a clear bottle with a yellow label. The words remain unreadable.

From outside the bar, you hear what sounds like a particularly clanky automobile pull up, and then cut off its engine.

>Who created me?
>What is this planet called, and what are its notable features and characteristics?
>Would you like some Amatta?

Make The Poor Dude Their Drink Already And Prepare To Welcome Your First Customer Who Isn't a Glowing Facsimile of yourself

You start working on the gin and tonic. You're not sure all what the recipe calls for- things like ice or a lemon escape your mind- but it's simple enough to put two things together. For the hell of it, you use the Unshaken to mix the drink.












This is a lot to process. You just place the drink in front of your glowing counterpart as you consider a response.



As that's wrapping up, however, you spot somebody else pop through the decrepit door-- what appears to be a human. Unluckily, you won't get a full-sized introduction image until you've properly been introduced to this person, but she sits down at one of the free seats anyhow, tiredly glancing at the both of you, and seeming quite surprised.







As you've unlocked entries on tonic, as well as gin, you can now peer at the properties of these two human-known agents in the Cabinet.

You've also unlocked the counter view, showing you the names and positions at your bar of all current patrons, which will appear starting next update.

That's Myeth art again for our new patron! Thanks Myeth, you're a gift to this world.

Just making a drink for my friend before they hit the road. Now, What can I do for you, the First Official Customer of this fine establishment?

You fall easily into a very calm tone of voice, and an easygoing gaze.






Your glowing counterpart departs the bar with one of your drinking cups still in hand, sipping at that G and T. You now have 5 drinking cups in total. One is still unwashed. Dishwashing can be done by you, but will take away your ability to make drinks for quite a while.

As the patron leaves, its light disappears instantly-- like it was only in existence for long enough to step outside of the door. When it's gone, you're hit violently with a feeling of emptiness. You feel terrible.





You hear another vehicle pull up to the establishment.

make The Oregonian. mix ink and mollasses, heated to boiling. cool it down with red wine and kahlua, and fill half or more of the cup with ice. serve with a pine needle as garnish

Just give 'em a cup of raw corn syrup, but put a radish on top as garnish.

The only thing we know for sure is sweet is our own blood, which is probably not the best thing to give to such a shy and timid customer, especially since we'd have to bleed it out right in front of her.

Try to find some brown powder, mix it with some white fluid, and hope that what you've given her is instant chocolate milk and not dandelion sap mixed with powdered dung.

Also, make conversation! Try to get their name. See if they'll open up about their problems.

Maybe they want to make a toast and smash their glass in the firep- no, wait, we only have like 5 cups. Never mind that.

ask if they have a cup you could have

>Give him an empty glass and tell him, "on the house."

combine these

[bangs table] apple juice!

How about a screwdriver? Orange juice and vodka.

You begin working on her drink. The chocolate milk mix seems... close enough? It tastes vaguely chocolaty. It's also easy to find and identify some milk, and what looks like sugar. There's also some weird black viscous liquid that you pour in there too!

You were briefly considering some other things, like a Screwdriver, or even the rarely-discussed Oregonian-- but perhaps for another time, for another patron. For now, you'll keep it simple, and keep the other drinks handy for when the time is right.

She lets out a little sigh and leans on the counter, her eyes mostly focused on you.







You finish up the drink, setting it on the counter in front of her with a beam.













As she starts to think, you notice some jostling of the decrepit door at the end of the bar-- and it swings open, to reveal somebody shining, starlike, immaculate. It strolls in with confidence and ferocity, glaring at you behind its steel sunglasses, and takes a seat with a loud creak, announcing its presence with a boastful voice.

Another car pulls up to the bar outside. Seems they're going to be coming quick.

You've unlocked some new things for The Cabinet by mixing your third drink. In addition, your current stock of ingredients of a given type is now listed there.

Thanks Myeth again!! I can't handle how much I like the art ya made for these weird species.

ah yes, the fruit bundle harmonic. you begin with apple cider, then add vodka and blueberries and bananas and mangos, cut it with milk and sugar and crushed ice, then make it all into a smoothie in the blender. served in a wicker basket, with an appetizer of crack cocaine

edit: oh and for this guy you're probably gonna wanna sub battery acid in for vodka

Perfume served in a bowler hat

you dummy, that's soup!

Do We Have Some Method to Look Up Recipes? Or, Like, Species? Don't want to accidentally poison a patron. that seems like it would not go over well with our clientele. If So, Look Up This Thing they want made, If Not

Grovel

You're Correct! I Am both Terrible and Inexperienced! You Sir/Madame/Other Must Truly Be a Connoisseur of Bars and those who Tend them!

>"A fruit bundle harmonic... with vapor salts? Okay, well, if that's what you really want." In your best trying-not-to-be-condescending/the-customer-is-always-right-even-if-they're-a-total-idiot voice.
>Try to figure out what the heck vapor salt is and where it might be kept without letting on that you're clueless.
