"...actually, no idea. I can check if you wish."
"Rag and Rock may bless your search." She smiles, showing off her triangular-chiseled teeth, making you a little bit uneasy.

Not only you fail to find any bottled alcohol, you fail to realize when to give up and return to your client after ten minutes.
"You've made me wait quite a lot, so I assume your search successful, bartender?""No." Evangeline Rudker sighs wearily.
"Rag tries my patience but I shall endure. Are all your synthetizers operable, at least?""Yes." You think a bit, wondering if your cockiness is going to trigger a synthol machine malfunction next.
"I will take comfort in that, at the very least. Please prepare me a Gut Punch, and then a High Elf, bartender."You nod and check the computer station.

You quickly set up a glass of Bricklayer spritzed with some bittery Fungus Malus; the resultant shot looks something to a dark brown water.
Then you prepare a tank glass, adding the five synthols over the crushed ice, ending in a tall mixture with a blue-green tint to it. You serve both glasses to Evangeline, and she downs the Gut Punch before even fishing out her credchip.
When she lets you scan it, you note that it looks very fancy; a small chip with golden and silvery casing and flowery decals.

Evangeline takes the tank glass of High Elf, gives it a sniff and then takes a sip.
"Adequate. Thank you." She crosses her hands on her lap and eyes the main hall a bit more, a smug, soft smile twisting her lips.
You feel like it is a good time to strike up a conversation!
A) "Is something wrong?"
