BARTENDER - CLOVER

[wooliefrand]

WHO: CLOVER + CUSTOMERS
WHERE: CLOVER BARN
WHEN: BARTENDER GAME

[ Your barn has a new???? (temporary???) addition! One of the outside walls now has a cabinet of various drinks, all of which sits behind what appears to be an L-shaped bar counter, complete with a sink, ice box, and glass cabinet on the inner side, and stools for customers(?) on the outer side.

Posted on the wall is a recipe book, and above it, a big chalkboard listing the various drinks from said recipe book.

Tied to the drinks cabinet are a number of ribbons in your barn's color. Wonder what those are for. ]

[debug_mode]

Hi, everyone! Hope you don't mind me intruding!

Re: [and, a weed saunters in]

[eonsadrift]

If you try to cause any trouble, I won't hesitate to kick you out.

Sonata's gonna try and generate some more ingredients (BIG SHARE)

[beathollow]

( taking stock of what they need vs what they have, and... well. it's not looking great. so she sits back and hums. respond to whatever blurb in whatever order, have fun. )

I'm going to try something, to... give us a bit of a boost, I suppose?

My earliest memory thus far is my mother tending to me while I'm ill- it may be the only bit of true warmth I remember of her, but even then she still... called me needy and demanding. ... Maybe it was a joke, but. Seeing that with little else, it still hurts...

( + 1 juice, + 1 fruit )

The girls at my school would often ask me for tutoring, if I recall correctly. I don't mind this and was happy to help. But because of "my ambitions" they would often extend an invitation and then rescind it so I could focus on my studies. I don't think they meant to hurt me, but it was really lonely... I wanted to play too...

( + 1 coffee, + 1 herb )

... My mother thought I shouldn't waste my time on people "beneath me"- like the fact that I tutored them made them lesser.

( that irritated disgust in her voice... + 1 fruit )

I don't know if I want to regain my memories anymore. Whoever I was before, I'm not her anymore- and I don't know if getting more information will hurt me as I am, or make things worse somehow...

( + 1 coffee, + 1 fruit )

And I think... she's fought hard enough and deserves to rest.

( + 1 coffee, + 1 herb )

... I think... um. Someone here in the pasture flirted with me? And... I didn't quite hate it...

( + 1 coffee, + 1 cocoa )

Annnd... I worry. That I feel too quickly, and that it makes everyone uncomfortable. I don't want that. But I have the freedom to feel... and I can't help it.

( + 1 coffee, + 1 fruit )

... I can't think of anything else. I put myself on the spot... But, um. Maybe the boost will help...

BIG SHARE X2

[beathollow]

( a little later, but so as to not spam toplevels- )

... I want. A synthesizer. Or a piano. Both work. The- the latter probably is better, because it doesn't require electricity... but I want it. I miss playing my music. I just thought more important things should come first...

( +1 coffee, + 1 cocoa )

And I do want a tank for aquatic plants. Or even several, maybe- one big one for the front room, and a few in my room.

( + 1 coffee, + 1 cocoa )

... And a pond. For water lilies. But not our drinking water. It has to be a different one.

( + 1 coffee, + 1 cocoa )

... And I hate that because of my stupid, awful mother, I feel like... Like I shouldn't want these things. That my wants are less important and that I have to prioritize other things.

( shame... + 1 tea, + 1 fruit )

And I'm jealous that Rose gets apples even though I can't taste them.

( + 1 tea, + 1 cocoa )

I miss Vivace. I didn't get to talk to her as much as I wanted and I truly regret it. I miss her.

( + 1 tea, + 1 herb )

And I miss my friends back home. Mizuki and Enanan and K. I don't think I want them here but I want to talk to them again... to write music and sing with them again. I can do everything on my own, but- it's lonely.

( + 1 tea, + 1 coffee, + 1 milk, + 1 herb )

... I worry that... if anyone but Mizuki did show up, I wouldn't recognize them, sometimes. As much as I gain, some things seem to flicker away...

( + 1 tea, + 1 coffee, + 1 herb )

...I love you all.

( + 1 tea, + 1 agave )

LYRA'S BIG SHARE

[aididitmyway]

Mm... okay.

I guess it's my turn, we have a lot of things that we need, so... I think the best place to start would be from when I was a baby. I could still remember everything, but we were pretending to be my foster mother's children at the time so that we didn't ruin my mama's career. She took us to one of her events, and—the moment we saw her, she was there, sparkling and beautiful and absolutely amazing and she was my mama. I don't remember how Nyx and I got penlights, but we were doing wotagei with the best of them even though we were in our strollers.

[+1 agave]

Ah, but when I was a kid, too... I was always kind of scared I'd fall. It was because of everything in my past life, you know? I—I really struggled. I was terrified because I never thought I'd be able to. But mama didn't care about that. She didn't know. She just knew that she wanted to teach me to dance, so she did. And she taught me to stop being scared of falling. It's because of her that I'm so confident when I do that kind of thing now.

[+1 agave]

We debuted at an idol festival once upon a time. It was great. I loved every moment of it... I felt like I could do anything, you know? It's something I always wanted to do.

[+1 milk]

I know Sonata's told me that I need to come up with something for myself, but... I've always wanted to be an idol. That's my desire. It's to try to be a top idol like mama, but it's a dream. It's the one thing that's always given me hope, even if it's been hard lately, and I—I want to be an idol no matter what.

[+1 milk]

When I first had to do Pieyon's workout, I was so worried that I wouldn't be able to do it! We did it for a whole hour, and I didn't have a lot of stamina yet. It was crazy! I was amazed I made it without collapsing. At least... until the end.

[+1 club soda]

Re: LYRA'S BIG SHARE

[beathollow]

( sonata listens fondly, chin in hands- she's probably had her rest from her eight fucking beers now, so she's a bit more comfortable. )

... Proud of you.

( +1 coffee, +1 agave)

[lullabyonacloudynight]

[Cacophonie wakes up at some point like halfway through the game like ????????? man this is a lot of. Uh. It's a lot.]

+3 Club Soda +3 Juice

[lullabyonacloudynight]

[It looks like they need 3 club sodas atm??? So Cacophonie is going to wake up, be confused, and immediately shift gears into sharing trauma memories because he's like this unfortunately.]

In the past, I was kind of dirty and suspicious looking, so people would give me weird looks everywhere I went... and of course they would, since who would trust some armed, scuffed up stranger in a hood wandering through their village?
And anyway, I didn't trust any of them, either, so it's only fair.

...is that enough of a memory? Um, one specific time, I was asking people questions and a guy with a paper bag on his head kept staring at me the whole time and it was making my skin crawl so I left. There.

[Juice&Soda!]

I've also had to fight a lot of monsters... I guess that's just obvious, though, since I travel a lot. Does that count as "conflict"? Mm~... for a specific example, there were these big scary things that were like a mix between boulders and spiders... I didn't fight them the first time, I just hid. But after that... I got stronger fighting other monsters, so I fought them the second time they got in my way.

[Juice&Soda again.]

Also... there were weak monsters, too. More than once, we had a "conflict" since... I ended up fighting them to take some of their food from them. There were flower spirits who made jelly out of fruits, and baby gryphons who knew where to find these edible pods full of shiny dust... I was really hungry, and I still feel bad about it, but I don't know if that's much of an excuse.

[Juice&Soda x3.]

visitor.

[noarchitact]

[ knock... knock... ???
there's a maid outside of your barn.
with a drink that nobody ordered. ]

Re: visitor.

[aididitmyway]

[opens door

closes it]

[beathollow]

( at some point while people are distracted she's going to sneak six more drinks from the shitty beer box over the course of mixing and blending and serving drinks. this is not why kuja cured you honey. BUT she is at least pacing herself better. this is just for record keeping.

+6 alcohol, but not technically all at once. )

[aididitmyway]

[she's watching and casually drinking as this entire thing goes on.

she is not pacing herself better.

there's at least five more shitty beer cans or whatever around her.

+5 alcohol, more likely to be all at once.]

[capreelcious]

[ You ever just sleep through your barn becoming a BARn? Yeah, that's what Floyd is waking up to. ]

...Is Azul here suddenly or-

[ Well, considering he can still say his name, that answers that question. ]

[beathollow]

( looks up from counting ingredients- )

Oh! Good morning. We're caught in another ritual, but it's about bartending. We've been tasked with generating the ingredients through a specific magic process and serving orders that we're given from others. I'm not sure what the winning criteria is.

.... Oh, and your brother says hello.

Off-Beat Ingredients catch-all

Re: Off-Beat Ingredients catch-all

[capreelcious]

I think Pond Fiend is real cool and I love him a lot. I'm real proud of him, even when he goes on about mushrooms n' stuff. I'm not a fan of shiitake.

[ agave x2, tea x1 ]

When we were younger, I thiiiink, just about when we first started middle school? We fought a sturgeon together! It was soooo cool~! Sturgeons are real big fish and are known for bein' pretty tough. But we ended up winning, and we asked him for some of his scales as a prize, ehe~. They're like lucky charms in the Coral Sea, too! So we both made 'em into a pair of matching earrings.

[ He taps on his teal earring, and the scales clink softly as he does.

juice x1, agave x1 ]

day 15

[catposting]

[ KNOCK KNOCK IT'S YOUR DAY FIFTEEN MAID SERVICE. no maid outfit, he's not here to flirt with Zenith. ]

Re: day 15

[eonsadrift]

[ He opens the door! ]

Not going to dress for the part, huh?

[beathollow]

( it's day 15, and while things seem to have settled down there's the possibility of something coming up- so sleepily, sonata leans on the bar. )

... I had a lot of fun, when we were making our signature drinks.

( + 1 tea, + 1 milk )

It was cute watching Lyra get excited about it. And watching Zenith also get involved. I liked seeing what everyone came up with.

( + 1 tea, + 1 milk, + agave )

And... learning a bit about everyone was also nice. But I want... better, for all of us. We deserve it.

( + 2 tea, + 2 milk )

... This was fun. Even if making things was stressful. I had fun.

( + 1 coffee, + 1 agave )

day 14

[catposting]

[ i.e. the day before maid service because time is a construct
