Hey there, Luceti! Name's Zack. Just wanna toss in the usual mention to newcomers that the local bar, Good Spirits, is in the plaza, and it's pretty much always open if you're in need of a little something to take the edge off. We serve more than booze, so don't worry if you're underage. I run the place, along with Shizuo and the lovely ladies

[Good Spirits is getting a brand-new visitor tonight. Not because she's a New Feather, but simply because she'd never been here before. Pao-lin never had much interest in alcohol,but since hearing from the voicepost that there were other drinks aside from booze in the place, she was now curious about what else they served here.

So tonight, she walks in to check things out. She takes a cautious look around before taking up a seat at the bar.]

[Give him a moment to finish washing this glass, aaaaand- Zack turns to face the bar, grinning at the newcomer. Hello, new face!]

Hey there! Welcome to Good Spirits. Can I get you anything?

[Pao-lin scans the menu posted above the bar.]

Umm...a chocolate milkshake, I guess. With lots of whipped cream. [It's fairly chilly out tonight, but after running into a post-mallynap Hubert and his brother, she could do with a frozen brain at the moment.]

[wingenvy]

Coming right up! [It only take a minute to mix, and before long he slides the finished shake over to her. Plenty of cream, as ordered.]

I haven't seen your face around here before.

[lightningcute]

I didn't think I was allowed to come in here, since it was a bar. [She takes a sip of the milkshake, and her eyes widen.] Ah, this is really good!

[action]

[wingenvy]

Nah, this place is open to everybody, really. We've got a lot of people under 20 and we've had trouble setting an age limit on the drinks since it's different for every world, so. Better to just make it for all of us.

[lightningcute]

That makes sense, I guess. [Even just from Pao-lin's own world, legal drinking ages were different across countries. Still, she's not exactly chomping at the bit to try the stuff. Milkshakes are just so much more delicious! She will need to be introduced to Bailey's Irish Cream and Kahlua.] I'll try to come here more often, then. There's a lot of stuff on your menu I want to try!

[wingenvy]

Always good to find new customers! So what's your name?

[action]

[lightningcute]

I'm Pao-lin! And you?

[action]

[wingenvy]

Zack Fair! It's a pleasure to meet you.

[action]

[lightningcute]

Nice to meet you, Zack! How long have you been in Luceti for?

[action]

[wingenvy]

I actually just passed my one-year anniversary! Pretty crazy, huh?

[action]

[lightningcute]

[She nods.]

I've only been here since the middle of September...but when I think back on everything that's happened, it feels like forever. [She uses her straw to scoop some of the whipped cream into her mouth.]

[action]

[wingenvy]

You kinda get used to it, I hate to say.

[action]

[lightningcute]

[Om nom whipped cream.]

Well...at least things aren't as bad as they could be, right? [Aside from the whole "moon falling on Luceti but not really" deal.]

[action]

[wingenvy]

Yeah, I can't really complain. Actually, besides the occasional weird stuff that happens, I like it here.
