avante en garde - SATURDAY NOON PST

[ The bar is unit-colored with light unit paraphernalia, although it's all just for show. Fortunately, comfort isn't part of the unit aesthetic this time—all seats are cushioned, whether the booth seats or the bar stools, comfy and lush. Idols can sit anywhere they like, it seems.

There's alcohol available, but everything else is locked behind the wall-cabinet. . . the recipe book is also available to peruse at one's leisure.

Ah—the door opens, and a fuzzy sort of shade steps in. It looks like idols will be serving the Damned, today. . . ? ]

RECIPE BOOK

Looking at the list of juices, this one could easily be lemon-lime soda, but don't you think cream soda sounds more interesting? More like a special treat, according to the description.

Perhaps that's what this guest is thinking of?

Fufufu... it sounds very sweet, actually. I only have a somewhat sad memory regarding my grandfather, and I cannot remember my grandmother at all. But I imagine this would be something special to share with family.

Cream Soda sounds much more delicious in the end, anyway.

Is it s'posed to be special if their grandmother made it all the time?

I suppose that's true; it depends on whether or not they lived in their grandmother's home. Perhaps it was medicinal, instead?

...Though I don't see anything here that really seems like it would qualify as healthy. Not the drinks with the bubbling soda in them, anyway.

Could've just been a way to get rid of the leftovers... Though I guess it sounds like the guy actually liked it...

Well, it's got to be one or the other of them.
What is your vote, between the two?

...I suppose it could just be whichever we'd have more fun sampling along the way.

[She hums, checking the recipe book again and the related keywords]

...Maybe the cream soda, then. Since it apparently was a good memory. Though if you wanna try both, then go for it...

And so that requires... milk, club soda, and juice.

Does anyone want to try and cover these?

Juice, that's another memory, right...?

Both the milk and club soda're still locked up, too...

Another memory... so perhaps something happy? A happy memory of sorts. And perhaps... someone could drink some more and share a truth regarding...something that... shocked them? A time they were shocked, felt suspicion or conflict.

Talk about a shocking coffee fight?

...How do they know you're telling the truth, anyways?

I suppose you could try to lie, but that would be dishonest!

[ RULES!!! ]

Well, I can handle the memory part this time; I wouldn't want the two of you to shoulder the whole of the burden.

And, well... perhaps I've been putting this sort of thing off a bit too much.

So, here we go—

[ Shouldn't his shock for this alone count. ]

O-One ingredient down...

[Quick, have some tea and harvest that shock for Reasons]

[She herself would kick this off but is perhaps somewhat Compromised,]

[ HE'S SHOCKED FOR SURE. AND EMBARRASSED. AND WHY MOM WHY-

But yeah feel that empathy bond of shock. ]

...You've got more of this sort of thing?

You know..... maybe it's... better that I not go digging for it, right now.

[ she's dying.
a beat, and— ]

Clearly this is my punishment for going so long without paying their memory ransom.

Yeah. Thought you were serious business but actually your past was just age-restricted...

Whatever it is, it sounds quite nice, doesn't it? It must be nice if it is sparkling!

It's not something I ever got to try before coming to this place!
—Well, there was beer, of course, but I didn't realize you could get the effect without fermentation.

Do you have a suggestion, among the options?

I must admit . . . I do not recognize many of these.

So far, Nemesis seems to be the only one, so you are in good company in that regard.

I was saying to her, though: I don't think there's anything stopping us from sampling the recipes ourselves, if we're curious.

Eh? Would you like to?

Well... maybe!

There are so many new things I have gotten the chance to try in this place—like the pastries in the park café. They serve milk tea there as well, and it's unexpectedly good.

Perhaps I might find a new favorite, given the chance.
