Along the center line of the lower deck is a well-stocked full bar. It has wine, all manner of liqueurs—both familiar and more exotic. Behind the bar, between the shelves of bottles and glasses, hangs an elaborate, filigreed full-face mask with two cutouts for eyes. Perhaps an acquisition from the owner's expeditions?
A bartender in vest and shirtsleeves offers to pour the lot of you a drink. There is a specials menu for the occasion that he slides across to you; it seems to have the drink of every current member of BARiTONES, although Kohime's seems to be something exotic called mavnoor.
[ he serves you a small pour of what smells like a beer—strangely enticing.
when you drink it, it's definitely a beer, but as it's been brewed with livestock blood in the fermentation process, it probably tastes pretty good to you?
Also, regardless of how Kaguya does receive it, it leaves her with a feeling of bittersweet nostalgia. ]
If you're really interested in a sampler, I might be able to offer you a special later, then.
[ And then he pours her a "Paloma"—like its namesake, grapefruit, lime, tequila, sugar, and soda. It's sweet, refreshing, tasty—

[ She drinks it though, and--- she's a little surprised by the aftertaste in the end.
. . .She frowns. It leaves her feeling a little sad. ]
Somehow... it's a little bitter than I might have thought.

[ He mixes you a glass—lemon, orange, agave syrup, aromatic bitters, egg white, and nonalcoholic wine, garnished with a slice of orange.
When you drink it, it's delightfully fruity, and you feel a little flirty, a little bolder than normal, and prone to a teasing sort of affection and kinship. ]

From here you can go to the lower deck.

Re: THE BAR
Looks like you're rather busy.
[ Smile smile! ]
I heard the guest of honor was responsible for the drink menu.
[ SURE LOOKS LIKE A BARITONES DRINK MENU HMM HMM ]
Re: THE BAR
the bartender smiles. ]
She was indeed—it's a special night, after all, what better to have on offer than her favorites? A particular drink for you, Miss, or a sampler?
Re: THE BAR
Do you have any recommendations?
Re: THE BAR
...though, you might actually enjoy "The Kohime."
Re: THE BAR
Give me one Kohime then. I'm curious.
[ She'll give it a shot.
Get it?
A shot? She'll give it a-- yeaah okay done. ]

Re: THE BAR
This feeling at the end, though, hmm.. ]
. . . You know? That was pretty good. I wonder if I might try another drink?
[ Tilting her head. ]
I'd like to try a 'Paloma'.

[She takes a quick look at the menu, a longer one at the mask behind the bar, and smiles at the bartender.]
Sorry to be a bother, but would you have anything non-alcoholic?
[One: she's sixteen.
[Two: probably shouldn't be drinking while dressed as a nun anyway.]
Re: THE BAR
[ Here they are again...! ]
Don't try the Kohime.... I don't think it's meant for humans.

Re: THE BAR
Well, Miss, I can make the drinks on the menu virgin that aren't straight liquors, so perhaps a Paloma or a Ruby Sour for you, then?

Re: THE BAR
[It's funny, there's no alcohol in this but she still feels like she's gotten a little drunk.
[She looks across at Kaguya. Is she going to be okay?]
Did First Keeper Naarabot come up with all of these drinks?
Re: THE BAR
Re: THE BAR
[She looks down at the drink, smiling.]
It's appropriate... I think I know the person this was named after, and it definitely makes me think of them.
