*a new cloaked figure enters with a sniper rifle on their back and a case for an acoustic guitar in their right hand. They take a seat where nobody is close. Their face is impossible to make out due to the hood blocking light from shining on their face. Takes out the guitar and starts tuning it.*

Blaze walks over. “What’s the name, sir?”
-
*the figure looks up and revealed a female, heavily scarred face with .* I am known simply as Ribi. You? [spoiler]I suck at names so if it sounds dumb, let me know. I thought about giving alternate characters a try.[/spoiler]

Blaze stares at her with red eyes. “Blaze. What’s your order?”
-
Just some water. Alcohol impairs my augments. [spoiler]I forgot to mention the character has a lot of cybernetic augmentations and knows a decent amount of magic.[/spoiler]

“Alright.” Blaze leaves, then comes back with a glass of water. “So what’s new?”
-
*takes a sip.* nothing significant, just another traveler.

“Well welcome traveler 258, welcome to the bar, where a vampire serves you and asks about life.”

“Yup, I fully agree! Want any food?”
-
No thanks, not hungry right now.
-
“Alright. Are you a bounty hunter or something?”
-
No, just a warrior from a long-forgotten age enhanced to keep up with the current environment.
-
“Long forgotten age?”
-
A threat from my age is coming and I hope to put an end to it one day.

“Sounds dangerous.”
