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—
but there's a sort of bitter aftertaste that's not quite like grapefruit that underscores it all, and a flash of furious sorrow followed by homesickness. ]
[ 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.
[ . . . Also as a spiritualist, she's going to see if there's anything in this room by way of objective-- can she help fix any of these feelings? Or is there something here she's not seeing. ]
[ the spirits alert you that there's a hidden door behind the bar available once someone has had all of the drinks on the menu—it's behind the mask hanging on the wall. ]
You know... I was just thinking, maybe I'd like to try all the drinks. Just a small sample if you don't mind. I might as well. She made them special, after all.
[ He pours you a little sample of the rest of each drink:
Absinthe: well, it's victorian Absinthe, so it knocks you off your ass a bit, in addition to tasting like licorice, but you also burst into sudden laughter—not in a mocking way, but in a companionable way.
Alexander: a tasty, creamy dessert drink; in addition to being surprisingly sweet, you also feel... comfortable. Maybe a little bemused. Is it because of the drink or the gap moe between the drink and the man?
Wildfire: the bartender sets this one on fire and it's also bright fucking green. Despite how alarming that is, it's very sweet, and gives you a warm sort of feeling not related to it being on fire.
Ruby Sour: fruity, surprisingly complex in its full form, and 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.
Crown Royal: this is just a shot of whiskey. It's good whiskey, though, and you feel a little more prone to flights of curiosity afterward.
Yvette: A creamy, fruity, liqueur. Drinking it, you feel happy, but also a little distant?
Bordeaux: this is just wine. You're left with another feeling of nostalgia... but a fonder one, and a feeling of sympathy. maybe a little motherly. ]
[ Welp she's sure drunk now. When you're a tinypire it doesn't take long. So her head is kind of fuzzy and she's giggling and amused and happy and flirty and motherly and curious, and-- well she's a lot of different things right now.
So she's pleasantly toasted atm ]
You know sir...
[ Giving the bartender a charming smile while flirting drunkenly...? ]
I kinda just wanna...[ points toward the back of the bar toward the mask. ]
I'm gonna go with my friend okay? It's an aaaventure.

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'.

Re: THE BAR
Well, for someone who was bold enough to try all of those—there is a special I'm authorized to offer.
[ he pours you a straight black coffee in a mug, and then also presses something under the mask on the back wall. A door opens to the temple. ]
Re: THE BAR
