BARTENDER - CLOVER

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. ]

We have plenty of grapes, don't we? Can't we just use those?

I don't think it will count. Also we don't have a way to juice them.

Fine. I'll take this one.

[ He crushes an ice cube and a very, very short memory plays. It lasts from :18 until about the :36 second mark.

It's almost like he's recounting it himself:
"The first to betray me was a god, my creator... my mother.
Valuing strength above all, she saw no worth in me, and I was discarded."

The memory cuts off abruptly after that.

And the emotions on his face are hard to read, but it's nothing pleasant. Hatred, fury, hurt, shame- it's all there. ]

[Fam we need better moms]

Zenith...

I'm over it already. I don't need her approval.

You don't need anyone's approval, ever.

[But she does teach over to take the hand that Sonata does not have.]

I know I don't...

[ He seems more affected by having them both hold his hands ]

Mm...

Well, no matter what, I like you the way you are. Their loss, our gain.

[Hand squeeze]

...let's just move on.

( ...

she doesn't say anything, but she does reach over and gently squeeze his hand for a moment. )

[ Is his memory more embarrassing or is having his not-daughters hold his hand more embarrassing

honestly, he can't decide ]

...I'm fine. Let's make this stupid drink.

( how is it always these three.

but yeah okay, they can move on- )

Mm. Okay. I think it's one more...

( since she got a juice by talking about her beloved childhood stuffie. hmmmm... )

Oh! I met a ghost once. My friends and I were doing a... "mystery tour"? And at one point in an abandoned school house, I split off from the others. I found a girl, but she seems to be fading in and out... I was curious so I kept following her. She led me to a tree with a shoe tied onto a branch that she couldn't reach, so I got it down for her. And then she brought me to a beautiful cherry tree in the court yard, while it was in bloom.

( mostly i didn't want to hunt down the card story again. anyways. + 1 juice, + club soda. ghosts are surprising! )

Hah..? So your world has spirits, too..? Stories like that are fairly common in Inazuma. You did well to help her, if you hadn't she probably would have cursed you.

I probably would have let her. ... I don't think I was very kind to myself at first.

( two bitter truths. + 1 coffee. + 2 herbs. )

...you don't seem like the type to not help someone in need, anyway.

I like helping people, yeah...

Juice is... sharing a memory. ....

( sits back in her chair, turning to zenith and lyra- )

I remember having a toy brown rabbit as a child. It was my favorite thing in the world. It was soft and bigger than my body. ... I don't remember what happened to it...

( it's a simple memory, wistful and almost longing...

+juice, +milk. neat. )

-3 juice (1 zenith, 2 sonata)
