Night Off

Was she really ready to cross that one last border? Enter a world full of depravity and carnal desire, also known as bar? It was not an easy decision, far from it. Yes, she was no longer a minor, so it was legal. But still, this was a step one should not take lightly. But then again, it was a modern day tavern. And everyone met in the tavern, right? It wasn’t like she’d go in and get wasted, like so many other students. Obviously not. It was just….yes, an excursion! A field trip to the habitat of strange, intoxicated beasts, which was necessary to finally understand their unique culture.

Yes, that was good enough for her. Thinking about it like that finally gave her the resolve to go in – and she kind of did need that, after meeting battle priests and giant monsters . It was not her prime reason for being there, but it was one reason. And altogether, they were good.

“Yuss,” she psyched herself up a little bit, and entered the bar. To her surprise, she did not find a fight in session, and did not draw everyone’s attention with her shirt-skirt combination. Not that she had dressed up or anything, that was just her usual attire these days. Still, given that pretty much no one was around, no one paid it much mind, so she was actually a little bit perplexed for a few moments. In all honesty, she did not have a single clue as to what to do.

Sweeping her gaze across the room, she ultimately settled for the easy target – the bar itself. That was the place to be, now wasn’t iit?

Trying to appear savvy and confident, she sauntered over to that place, and prepared her best impression – obviously coined by that specific brand of literature she read. “Good day, dear sir. I would like but a simple ale today, friend.”
