(Setting/Bar) KR4K-3N
| >In walks a tall blonde in a dirty white trenchcoat, with pink trimming. It's full of holes and looks as battle scarred as its wearer.
>The blonde brushes her blue-tipped hair and takes a seat at the bar, avoiding eye contact with whomever's inside.
| >A large bald man walks into the bar, wearing a short sleeved Jacket and a dirty wifebeater underneath with slacks and combat boots.
>His face, ravaged by the passage of time looks bored and tired, and his large sideburns are already losing their color
>He simply walks over to the clunter and sits down
"Is it alright to smoke?"
>He asks with a gruff voice
| >>393825
"Evenin'." >The bartender glances at the blonde, nodding toward her.
>>393849
>Catching the bald man's query, the bearded man simply nods, reaching into his stained frock to offer him a lighter.
"What can I do ya for, chief?"
| >>393865
"Hm. Not a request I get often. Scotch on the rocks, coming right up." >The bartender grabs a glass and some ice.
"Say, what brings ya here?"
| >>393861
"I'll take Gin, straight"
>The man says taking out a cigarette from some kind of metal case
| >A short cat boomer, only a little over 4 feet tall strolls into the bar, a fat cat resting on her head. she looks around and takes a seat
| >>393962
"Fair enough." >He pours out some scotch into the glass, sliding it over to the blonde.
>>393907
"Got it." >The bartender pours some gin out into a glass, passing it- and the lighter -to the man with the cigarette. He reaches for a dirty glass and a cleaning cloth-
>>394103
>-but notices the Cat Boomer.
"Hello there, miss."
| >>394210
"Thanks Chummer"
>The man says, slowly drinking his gin from the glass
>He turns a curious eye to the catboomer but seems to lose interests just as fast
| >she stares at the bartender a little bit, before eventually speaking up
"Beer please!"
| >>394320
"Don't mention it." >The man at the bar- let's just call him Herman for now -smiles, then turns back to the bottles on the wall as he hears the Cat Boomer's order.
>>394595
>Wordlessly, he pours out some beer into a stein, and turns around.
>>394609
"Topa." >He raises the beer toward the blonde, then places the stein down on the counter.
| >>395050
>As the Catgirl proceeds to reach up on the counter for the beer, The cat on her head knocks it aside, spilling it on the counter. She begins to tear up a bit
| >>395252
>The blonde watches this occur with something between bemusement and hilarity. She gently slides her short glass, still a third full with scotch and ice, toward the catgirl.
| >>395373
>She beams at the blond girl and reaches toward the glass graciously... But the kitty is having none of this, and constantly baps her arms or eyes to keep her from ever reaching the glass. She eventually gets fed up and tries to throw the cat off, but ends up losing her balance and falling off the chair and onto her patooty
| >Eventually, the smol gives up fighting the cat and sits sadly on the floor
| >The bald man stares at the catgirl and sighs loudly
"You need any help there kid?"
>He asks
| "I-i'm not a kid!"
>She snaps back defensively, still sitting on the ground
"I'm an adult!... though i could use some help"
| >>395394
"Yeah yeah"
>The man grabs the girl with a gentleness one wouldnt expect from such a hulking old man, and puts her back up on her feet
| "T-thanks mister!"
>She smiles, and then looks back towards the drink and sighs, looking up at the cat
"Mr tibbles, i promise if you let me drink in peace i'll give you back your cat nip"
>She reaches back towards the glass, and miraculously the kitty doesn't stop her! Congratulations!
| "Pfft..." >The blonde says. She taps the counter for another drink.
| >>395414
"And what's got *you* laughing?"
>The bald man says to the blonde, taking back his seat and downing his glass
| >>395414
>The catsmol blushes,
"T-thanks again miss cutie!"
>She turns back towards the bartender
"U-hm, could i get another beer? I promise not to spill this one.."
| >A man on his late forties walks into the bar, wearing a loose and worn out khaki T-shirt and a pair of old work trousers. His beard is messy and untrimmed, and his long, curly hair are held together by a ponytail.
>He walks towards the counter and sits down, giving the bartender a zippy and cheerful look with his clear eyes.
"Evenin'"
>He says with a raspy voice, looking around the place
"Made some changes in here, huh?"
| >>395558
"Aye. Business has been booming- Apparently word got out about the Torivi building and things just escalated from there."
>>395444
>Herman turns to the catsmol, serving her another glass of beer.
"I believe ya. This one's on the house."
| >She takes and drinks the beer, happy that the caterferance has stopped. After downing the entire glass, she passes out on the counter, red faced and satisfied
| >>395824
"Well, nice to see this place's still doing OK, right?"
>As he speaks, the man keeps tapping his fingers on the counter
"Anyway, I'll have a straight bourbon, make it double"
>>396001
"Missy, you alright?"
| >>396578
"I dont know if thats a good or a bad thing"
>The man says, tapping the counter with his empty glass and crushing his cigarette unto a small pocket ash tray he gets out of his pants.
| >>396682
"I'll keep quiet on that one, Miss Atomic Blonde"
>The man says simply while closing his eyes
| >The cat girl starts snoring loudly, and eventually rolls off the counter and onto the floor, still snoring.
|
| >The man sighs and picks up the girl, putting her back on the counter
"This is why kids are annoying..."
>He mutters
| >slowly but surely, cats begin to walk i to the bar, positioning their bodies ontop of the unconcious smol
| >The mass of cats nuzzle and lick the small girl, eventually causing her to stir
"W-... Wha happened?"
>She realizes her predicament, and suddnely starts thrashing around. pinned by the mass of cats
"Not again! No Please!
|
| >>399918
>The cats hore slowly thins, and the catgirl bows infront of the blond, still on the counter
"Thank you for saving me from my harem of kitties"
| >>399984
"Kinda, i've smelled like it my entire life... which is why i try to avoid other catgirls... things can get uh..
Lewd"
>she says, frowning
| "Y-you were thinking something lewd weren't you!"
>she further acuses, her tail waveing around vigourously
| >>401353
>As her suspicions are confirmed, her face slowly blushes intensely
"U-uhm... You aren't gonna try and lewd me are you?"
| >>401354
"Nah, not in the mood," >The blonde says, sipping her drink.
"...well. There's a sentence ah didn't think ah'd ever say."
| "...Oh"
>She mumbles, disappointed. She gets back into her seat and mumbles to herself
"Go figure..."
| >The old man simply watches the exchange and shakes his head
"I swear this drekking city"
>He takes a swig of gin
"Why the hell did I even come ere' for"
>He mumbles
|
| >A hooded figure walk into the bar he wearing a black hoodie and dark blue pants. The dark gray ballistic mask on his face show sign if repainting
>He sit down at the bar and put a few zennies on the table
"Wine please"
>He take off his mask and pull back his hood, revealing a young man with raven-black hair
| >Jackathon walks into the bar and sits down.
"Fluffy Dream, please."
>He takes out a tablet and browses the job boards.
| >>396666
"For a given value of OK, yes." >Herman turns to the ingredients on the wall behind him.
>>396149
>Before going through with the double bourbon, however, the old bartender takes a couple seconds to refill the bald man's glass.
| >>402769
"I see you are a man of culture as well." >Herman tips an imaginary tophat towards Jackathon, reaching for a bottle with his free hand.
>>402554
"Gonna need to be a little more specific with that, chief." >The bartender raises his brow.
| >a tired-looking young man walks in slowly, looking down. Brushing away his hood, he sits down and says with a gurgle in his throat
"Marsblast please."
| >Jack sips his drink, waiting for a specific person to show up with.
"So, bartender, got any rumors or stories to share?"

| >It's the same old building at the border between the Flooded District and the rest of Glitch- Except something's changed. The bar-turned-adventurer-hub is now capped by a large octopus made of corrugated oxidized copper plates welded together to give it a patchwork look.
>Inside, however, there's been some changes. The vendor area of KR4K-3N has expanded, and with it the selection of vendors. The same old tired dude mans the bar, though.
