Oh god, your brain is already getting overstimulated by the hellhole you stumbled into. You already have to back away from two men beating each other up. You quickly walk past them to avoid getting into their scuffle. <span class="mu-r">Annd that's a knife he's pulling out.</span>
Put it out of your mind, Nicole, best not to think too hard on it. Just a bar fight, r-right?
As expected, this place is packed to the brim with all manners of degenerates, freaks, and losers. Most of which are men who walked out of a 1970s post apoc movie or from the nearby homeless shelter. You stand out like a sour thumb here.
You eventually find a seat at the counter, squeezing in between two men twice your size. It doesn't take long for the bartender to find you. If it wasn't for his grey hair and hazy eyes, you wouldn't know he was in his 70s. He clicks his tongue on seeing you.
"ID, please?"
You nod, handing it to him. He skims it before handing it back to you. "Alright. What will it be, miss?"
"W-water, please? J-just here to meet someone." That's technically not a lie? The bartender shrugs indifferently, not really caring. He pours you a glass of water. "Ain't gonna ask, kid. This is on the house, aight?"
"Sides. Not like the beer's any better!" The old man guffaws. You try your best to laugh back. He takes his leave to go attend to the other patrons.
[UNSTABLE] Is it tap? Better not be. You know the kind of shit they lace in there. The kind of shit that destroys your teeth and BRAIN.
You let out a sigh. Oh well, down the hatch. After refreshing yourself, you take a look around the bar you find yourself in. It's time to try finding some ALLIES! There's POWER in COMRADERY! You try to see who stands out amongst them.
Select up to two people you want to try recruiting.
>An old man tinkers away at some bizarre contraption at the table he's at. Grease and oil cover his clothes. Seems like he's having fun. >A lady around your age jumps from table to table, talking to everyone she can. Each table seems a lot happier after she visited it. >A brick shithouse of a man stands over a man he just knocked out. An ear to ear smile rests on his face. He barely looks hurt from the fight.>A woman with bags under her eyes talks to someone over the phone. You notice her expensive outfit stands out a LOT compared to what the other patrons are wearing.>[SEEKER OF THE CITY] He's moving down the halls, like a drunk, but even a drunk would move his fingers once in a while. Something's off about him.>Someone else catches your eye...(Write in a simple description of the person you're trying to find.)
