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. ]

( pulling one off the bar counter right now- when did it even get up there? )

Re: +3 Club Soda +3 Juice
... Did you ever travel with anyone? Or were you on your own?

( this line of questioning is both curiosity and also trying to bait the barn into giving them more ingredients to be honest. )

[Cacophonie pauses, thoughtful, like he's trying to figure out where a good place to start would be. ...Or maybe his mind is just wandering off-]
...I'll give you some needless backstory, too, for more ingredients. [-nope, he's still all here mentally, apparently.] My brother and I... we weren't very well liked, or rather our family wasn't. Since it was a family of mixed races. I'm human, but Brother is at least half something else... and, when it came time for that half of the family to leave, only he would've been going with them. But he stayed, to take care of me, even though he didn't have to. He's always been... really kind to me.
[+1 Milk! Almost certainly not because this memory stirred up feelings of comfort or confidence, though.]
But Brother wasn't just kind to his poor, helpless little brother- he was intelligent, too. Talented, and very much so. Some bad people set their sights on him... and, with his helpless little brother to protect, he slipped up on protecting himself. Those bad people- a bad man came into our home and killed him, while I stood around sobbing uselessly.
[+1 Fruit! For... honestly, probably hurt shame AND irritation. There's definitely a tone of self-disgust in there.]
That bad man hurt me, too... not just him, some of his fellows as well. But they didn't kill me, they just... left me in the mud to die. Somebody who knew my brother found me and saved my life, but to do it she had to seal me away to sleep for a long, long time. When I woke up... I wasn't as hurt as before, but it turned out... I'd been asleep for centuries, and the whole world I knew was ancient history. I was all alone.
[+1 Herbs for grief and isolation, because sometimes one ends up mourning the entire civilization one was born into.]
I wandered around for a long time... I went from village to village, but everyone was a stranger, and I was a pathetic scarred mess convinced everyone who looked at me longer than a moment was out to hurt me too. I didn't know where to go, or what to do. I just wanted to go home and make Brother fix everything for me like I always used to, but... I was too scared, to go back and see it all in ruins. And what if those bad people were still around? It seemed ridiculous, that they'd still be there in the future after that woman sealed me away in part to hide me from them... but I was scared of everything back then.
[+1 Milk again because APPARENTLY the longing is the strongest emotion in there. Apparently.]
...Anyway. Some things happened and it turned out that those bad people had taken Brother's consciousness and sealed it up into his own invention, a vessel for artificial spirits. Um... the theory is a bit confusing, but basically it's just an object that can contain a person instead of their body. It wasn't intended to be able to hold an actual person, since that's horrible, but... they abused a loophole in its design to do that, and they used it on Brother after taking his invention from him. Since, I guess they wanted his body too, for something. I don't know what and I don't care.
Regardless. I found the object he was inside. ...I found him again. He couldn't really move much or anything, but he was there, and we could still talk. And- he taught me magic, so I could protect him next time. We're going to find the bad people who hurt us, and I'll beat them up and take back Brother's real body. So, that's how we were separated, and came to be together again.
[+1 Milk. THIS time it might not be entirely longing? Maybe. ...Maybe???? It's hard to read Cacophonie's expression.]
