Atlos taps on the counter again with his vehicle's arm, beginning to doubt if this was how one summoned the bartender in these parts. "Ah, yes. I suppose humans don't usually have such dense covering on their skin. You know, it's remarkable how many species seem to have evolved that bodyplan independently. Or perhaps they're offshoots."

[~Neri]

Independent. It's convergence of evolution. Creatures evolve to fit into their niches and environments.

((Is it multispectrumblocking chicken?))

((There is a gamma ray source inside the chicken. Can't go deeper without a turn, as otherwise I'd clutter up the thread too much. Sorry, limitations of the format.))

Atlos taps on the counter again with his vehicle's arm, beginning to doubt if this was how one summoned the bartender in these parts. "Ah, yes. I suppose humans don't usually have such dense covering on their skin. You know, it's remarkable how many species seem to have evolved that bodyplan independently. Or perhaps they're offshoots."

The bartender swoops by, having just been in a conversation with a three-tentacled being on the other side of the center island.

"Greetings from Askarian! What can I get for you sir?" says he, shaking a red-hot container wearing metalworking gloves.

Nerin continues scanning until time starts working again~

[WillowLuman]

"What's the human house specialty?"

[_DivideByZero_]

"What's the human house specialty?"

"Depends on where you're asking. Here you've got... Fermented Aquanyx Eggs. If you want something big, we do sell Multi-Dimensional-Gargle-Destroyers. Ask Nevermore here how it tasted."

He points to the raven-man whose chicken was just disassembled.

Nerin continues scanning until time starts working again~

((Bold your actions, I guess?))

[WillowLuman]

"Is that water soluble?"

[_DivideByZero_]

"The Gargle-Destroyer? Of course not! That's like... the point of the drink.

The Aquanyx special is definitely soluble, though. Comes fresh from the ocean."

[WillowLuman]

"Alright, I'll take one of those, then."

[_DivideByZero_]

((Which one?

The bartender isn't really here to advance the plot. Gamerlord is on the right track, actually, hopefully he will respond.

Good night for now! ))

[Gamerlord]

"No idea who Arial is, so I dunno if she's in there. When are we leaving?"

[WillowLuman]

(This one. Goodnight!)

Atlos orders an Aquanyx special, taking the burning drink with the small mechanical arm and emptying it into his tank. His skin soon flashes various patterns as he starts breathing it in. "Oh... that is... interesting..." He jitters a bit in his tank. "Yes, tastes like the ocean outside. Only more... how do you say? Violently? Strongly?" His chromatophores continue shifting erratically.

[_DivideByZero_]

((I know I said goodnight, but just one more))

"No idea who Arial is, so I dunno if she's in there. When are we leaving?"

"We just got started. We need to find the captain and see if we can hitch a ride to the Megacity on her ship. She's a trader, I expected her to be in the bar, but perhaps she's at the broker's office. We found a lot of off-planet spices in her ship's hold. She could be at the fishmarket for God-knows-why.

Look for a woman with smooth green hair. Or, if that fails, her uniform is white with a giant purple insignia on her shoulders and torso. The Trader's Union."

[Gamerlord]

Giving a curt nod, Nidoma heads back inside to look for this woman.

[Cheesecake]

"Argh! Stupid beads! Rot in the sewers!" he swears silently.

Picking up any dropped loot, he continues waddling away. Once he's safe, he looks inside the cylindrical thing.
