Dorothy[]
d "Hey John!"
g "My name's not John, and we don't serve kids here"
d "Of course not, you serve drinks, not kids, that's the difference between a bar and a kindergarten"
g "Well, you certainly make it look like one right now"
d "Oh, come on, It's obvious I'm not human. Alcohol wont hurt me"
g "Then you've never been hit with a bottle on the head"
g "What may I serve you?"
d "Let's see... I'm in the mood for a Sugar Rush right now"
g "(Sugar Rush... That's two units of Adelhyde and one of Powdered Delta. Karmotrine is optional)"
g "Coming right up"
g "(Alright Gillian, remember. Choose your modules and mix them, but mixing for over ten seconds is blending and it can ruin a perfectly good drink)"
g "One Sugar Rush for the young lady"
d "Thanks John!"
g "I'm not... whatever..."
d "..."
g "Something wrong?"
d "Listen, I know I was made to look like a child, but I'm not human"
g "I know"
d "Then why did you go short on the Karmotrine?w More like, why didn't you use any Karmotrine?"
g "Excuse me?"
d "Karmotrine, the thing that makes that liquid stuff you use get Alcohol-like qualities"
d "You're supposed to know this stuff, John"
g "And the Sugar Rush has optional Karmotrine"
d "If I wanted a non-alcoholic drink I would have used Lawrence in front of the convenience store"
g "Who?"
d "Lawrence, a Soda Fountain. Pretty nice guy"
g "Oh..."
d "I'll give you another chance, give me a Fluffy Dream"
g "(Fluffy Dream, that's three units of aged Adelhyde and... wait a second...)"
g "You're picking Karmotrine-optional drinks on purpose, aren't you?"
d "Maaaaaaaaybe"
g "Oh well, one Fluffy Dream coming right up"
g "One Sugar Rush for the young lady"
d "Thanks John!"
g "I'm not... whatever..."
g "Say, how does all that work?"
d "How does what what?"
g "You're a Robot, you don't necessarily need to drink or eat, right?"
d "Nope, in fact, it all goes to our core, where it burns"
g "Then, why do you do it?"
d "I'm still humanoid and an advanced AI, my sanity depends on doing human things"
d "And our bodies are made to scan what we eat and respond accordingly"
d "As a fun fact, even if I'm not allergic to milk or nuts, I don't like onions"
g "I see"
g "So, even if you know all that and how the food goes nowhere, you still do it?"
d "Humans know that anything they eat or drink nowadays is pretty much a prettied up, nutritious sludge"
d "They also know how their bodies will eventualy discard the food's remains, and I don't see them eating any less"
g "Fair enough"
d "With that said, I want a Sparkle Star, please"
g "(Sparkle Star, that's an aged Sugar Rush)"
g "A Sparkle Star, coming right up"
g "A Sparkle Star for a sparkling girl"
d "Yay!"
g "A Sparkle Star for a sparkling girl"
d "Yay!"
d "Say, John, please don't be stingy on the Karmotrine next time"
d "I'm a big girl, I can handle it"
g "Alright"
g "A Sparkle Star for a sparkling girl"
d "Yay!"
d "Um, John... this is just a Sugar Rush"
d "And a very soft one at that"
g "Oh, sorry, forgot to age it"
d "No problem, a Sugar Rush is fine, but be careful, not all clients are as nice as me"
g "I'll keep that in mind"
g "A Sparkle Star for a sparkling girl"
d "Um... John, I don't need to drink it to know that's not a Sparkling Star or a Sugar Rush"
g "Hm? Yeah, you're right, sorrry, I'll do it again"
d "Oh, don't worry John, I can swallow anything you give me"
g "..."
g "I've wondered for some time now, what's that headband thing your production line always has?"
d "This? Is called "OU slot""
g "What does it stand for?"
d "Output and Upgrades slot. It's the closest part to our brain, so we can upgrade it with different devices"
d "I, for one, use a pair of cat ears on them"
g "Cat ears? Can I see?"
d "Are you into that stuff John? That's quite the surprise"
g "I'm just curious"
d "No need for excuses with me John, don't worry"
d "Sadly, as much as I like you, I have principles, and one of them is to always charge a fee for my services"
g "Would a free drink do?"
d "A free drink and the ones I already drank"
g "Eh, why not, show me"
d "Alright then"
d "Nyan~"
g "Cute"
d "Just "Cute"? I've had clients finish early with only that"
g "Guess I'm not all into that then"
d "Bummer"
d "Truth be told, this is actually a jamming device"
d "You know, the kind that interferes with radio signals"
g "And why do you need a jamming device?"
d "I don't *need* it, but it was the closest thing there was to a pair of cat ears, I just had to decorate them a bit"
g "Don't they make standalone cat ears?"
d "Yeah, but they're not from my manufacturer. A girl has to take care of her body, you know?"
d "Besides, I'm already used to getting devices jammed into me"
g "Huh..."
g "Well, you earned yourself a free drink little lady, what do you want?"
d "A Blue Fairy!"
g "(That would be four Adelhyde units, one of Flanergide and at least one Karmotrine unit, all blended)"
g "A Blue Fairy coming right up"
g "One Blue Fairy for the lady"
d "Thanks John!"
g "You want to become a real girl?"
d "I'm already real. And I'm anatomically correct in every. single. place."
d "Besides, if I was human I couldn't work like I do right now"
d "Aaaand, I would probably still be a toddler"
g "Aren't you already?"
d "I said toddler, not child"
g "One Blue Fairy for the lady"
d "Eh... Light Blue or Sky Blue, you could've mixed this a bit more"
g "I didn't?"
d "Don't worry, still good"
g "One Blue Fairy for the lady"
d "Sorry John, with this I can't even imagine a butterfly"
g "Do robots have imagination?"
d "Dunno, do we? Can't really tell"
g "One mess for the Lady, sorry"
d "I guess this is what happens when you get something for free, huh?"
g "Say, do you like kids?"
d "Sorry John, fertile robots are still a prototype, and even if could, I wouldn't have one myself"
g "No, it's just that I've always wondered if you guys like children"
d "Can't speak for my production line, but I, myself, like 'em"
d "They are always so cheerful and eager to explore and learn"
d "They even develop archaic versions of cultural conventions, they are no different from AIs"
d "With that said, it bothers me that they see me as another child"
g "Can you blame 'em?"
g "A Fluffy Dream for a Fluffy lady"
d "Yay!"
d "Say, who picks these drinks' names?"
g "Beats me, but they were able to register Moonshine as a trademark, I wouldn't mess with them"
g "A Fluffy Dream for a Fluffy lady"
d "Yay!"
d "It's... different from the Fluffy Dream I'm used to"
g "Oh, sorry, it seem I blended it instead of mixing it"
d "No problem, it's not bad, just... different"
d "Like a carrot cake, or bondage"
g "A Fluffy Dream for a Fluffy lady"
d "Yay!"
d "Say, John, I taste the Dream, but I don't taste the Fluffy"
g "Oh, that. Sorry, no Karmotrine"
d "Stop treating me like a child!"
d "I bet I've seen more action in one night than you in years"
g "It's not that hard, actually"
g "A Fluffy Dream for a Fluffy lady"
d "Yay!"
d "Wait, this is pure Dream"
d "John, you served me pure Adelhyde, didn't you?"
g "Did I? Sorry, I made a mistake"
d "No problem, Adelhyde is basically a chemical that stimulates the sweetness receptors, and I like sweet things"
d "But be careful next time, please"
g "A Fluffy Nightmare, I'm so sorry"
d "Meh, it's not gonna kill me"
d "Oh, and don't fret about the Karmotrine stuff"
g "Wasn't gonna"
d "It's actually really hard to anger me, I have very specific buttons that you would need to push to make angry"
g "And what button do I have to push to make you angry?"
d "Pay the right amount and you can push any button you want for one hour"
g "Sorry, not interested"
d "Bummer. Anyways..."
d "One of the few things that has angered me, for some reason, was this one client that insisted I called him "Father""
d "I've had people wanting me to call them "Mama", "Daddy" and even "Big bro", but this one really irked me"
d "Like, I started imagining an oppresive father trying to keep the bloodline as pure as possible with his daughter"
d "I'm getting riled up just thinking about it, hope you're happy"
g "And they say robots have no emotions"
d "That's a really archaic school of thought"
d "Well, at least he was some influential guy so I got a generous tip"
g "One Sugar Rush for the young lady"
d "Thanks John!"
g "I'm not...w whatever..."
d "...wsay John, are you having a bad day?"
g "Hm?"
d "This Sugar Rush feels a bit... off"
d "If you're in a slump I can make you feel betterw, provided you pay the right amount"
g "Sorry, I'll pass"
d "I'll order something else. Give me a Sunshine Cloud"
g "(Sunshine Cloud, that's two units of Adelhyde and two of Bronson Extract with at least one of Karmotrine, all blended)"
g "One Sunshine Cloud coming right up"
g "A Sunshine Cloud for Little Miss Sunshine"
d "Yay!"
g "A Sunshine Cloud for Little Miss Sunshine"
d "Tastes more like a Cloudy Day to be honest"
d "But doesn't matter..."
g "A Sunshine Cloud for Little Miss Sunshine"
d "I can't taste the sun here though..."
d "But anyways..."
g "A Solar Storm for the ladyw, sorry"
d "Don't fret about it, you're having a bad day"
d "Always remember that the sun it's there even if you can't see it John, just like hope"
d "Take a good rest and your problems will dissappear, the world is bitter enough, no need to go around with a bitter attitude yourself"
d "I'll give you a chance tomorrow, alright?w Later"
g "I'm not in a...!w Forget it..."
g "One Sugar Rush for the young lady"
d "Thanks John!"
g "I'm not...w whatever..."
d "...wno offense John, but this is not what I asked for"
d "It's good, but not what I ordered"
g "Oh, sorry, I can remake it if you want"
d "No need, don't worry. I'll just pay and come back some other time"
d "Better luck next time, John"
hide dorothy with wipedown
g "Ah, well..."
d "Oops, it's already late"
d "Sorry John, Gotta go"
d "Sorry John, Gotta pay and leave"
d "Oh, but if you ever feel lonely and your pockets feel heavy, ask for Dorothy on the third street"
d "I might even give you a discount~"
g "...no thank you, at all, forget it, never gonna happen, nope, nope, nope..."
Jamie[]
j "Say, was that 'droid a..."
g "DFC-72 Anatomically correct humanoid unit? Yeah"
j "Whoever pays for her services must be a bona fide sick bastard"
g "Well, you didn't hear it here, but a cop once told me they have their own batch of DFC-72s"
g "At the end of the night they implant their clients with tracking nanomachines that let them keep tabs on their moves"
j "Well, I'll be damned! that's some clever stuff"
j "You think she's one of those?"
g "No idea, at the very least she seems to enjoy her job"
g "Anyways, what may I serve you?"
j "Give me a Gut Punch"
g "I'd rather not, they might fire me"
j "Are you bartenders contractually forced to say that lame joke anytime I ask for that drink?"
g "As a matter of fact, we are"
g "(Anyways, Gut Punch is five units of aged Bronson Extract and at least one unit of Karmotrine)"
g "Alright, coming right up"
g "One Gut Punch"
j "You aren't going to make any jokes?"
g "If I had to, I would probably quit this job"
g "One Gut Punch"
j "Tastes too young, like a kid kicking you in the shin"
j "But doesn't matter"
g "One Gut Punch"
j "It has an... interesting taste"
g "I might have blended it instead of mixing it, sorry"
j "Don't worry, as long as you don't charge me a full price..."
j "This reminds me of this one job I had, the client paid extra for me to rip off the target's heart and make a smoothie out of it"
j "Humans are full of nanomachines nowadays, that heart was hard as hell to blend"
g "Does it mean you've blended human hearts before the Calvacade?"
j "...I've said too much"
g "One Gut Punch"
j "Alright! This is good"
j "Pure Bronson and Karmotrine as far as my mouth can taste"
g "(I slipped off, but if he likes it...)"
g "One Gut Punch"
j "It could've used a bit more of Karmotrine, but it has lots of Bronson Extract, so I'll let it slide"
g "You like Bronson Extract, huh?"
j "Bronson Extract it's what makes any drink a man's drink, it's deep and bitter"
j "Nothing reinvigorates me more"
g "I see..."
g "Aaaaaaand, I'm sorry"
j "Don't charge me for it and it's all good"
g "Of course"
j "Say, Mr. Bartender, what's your name?"
g "I'm John-"
g "I'm GILLIAN. My name's Gillian"
j "Ok, nice to meet you Gillian, I'm Jamie"
g "It's weird that someone asks me my name, did you do it for some reason?"
j "Knowing someone's name makes you a bit closer to that person and helps you see them as humans"
j "I've made a habit out of knowing the name of people I'm not ordered to kill and probably won't be"
g "So, are you a mercenary or...?"
j "Yes, although I prefer the moniker "Gun for hire""
g "What kind of works do you do?"
j "The usual. Bouncer, private eye, magnicide..."
j "Give me a Piledriver if you want to hear a story"
g "(Piledriver is equal times Bronson Extract and Flanergide with more Karmotrine than either)"
g "Coming right up"
j "No lame joke this time?"
g "No lame joke this time"
g "One Piledriver served"
j "Aaah, this is good Gillian"
j "It reminds me of the time I used a suplex on a White Knight"
g "I thought that after the Calvacade the nanomachines in everyone's bodies prevented that kind of stuff. Violence against authorities"
j "Not gonna lie to you, aside from my implants, I don't have a single nanobot inside me"
g "Were you in a bunker when the Calvacade happened or something?"
j "After that nanobot H Bomb blew up not even people in bunkers saved themselves"
j "No, it's actually easy to get rid of them, with just a pair of mixed pills. Staying alive in the process is the hard part"
j "They are in every organ and tissue. They don't rip anything off, but it's painful as hell"
j "Luckily, the body becomes immune afterwards so they can't reenter"
g "I heard there was some rebellion somewhere, aren't you part of it?"
j "Let those kids fight for what they believe, I just want to keep up my job as a gun for hire"
g "I see"
g "One Piledriver served"
j "Gillian, this is just Karmotrine"
j "I don't mind if it gets me drunk, just don't expect me to pay for it"
g "Of course"
g "Not exactly a Piledriver, but I think you'll like it"
j "And you would be right!"
j "This is intense and really strong, what do you call it?"
g "Doesn't have a name, actually"
j "Then, why not call it a Suplex?"
j "Try selling it, and for every ten Suplex you sell you make me one. Copyrights and all that"
g "Sure, I'll think about it"
j "Changing the topic a bit..."
g "Aaaand this is totally not what you asked for"
j "Then I won't pay for it"
g "Yeah, yeah..."
j "You know, that 'droid that was here earlier reminded me of this one job I had"
j "It was to kill some big name from a corporation"
j "I was going to execute him on his room, but he hired one of those DFC-72"
j "Those things record everything they see and send it to a cloud storage, I couldn't kill him like that"
j "So, I waited for about an hour until the DFC-72 finished her job and then I killed him"
j "The hard part was making it look like an accident, but I found a rope he used with the DFC-72..."
g "Made it look like he hanged himself?"
j "Exactly"
j "You take these stories quite well"
g "I'm more intrigued by the fact that you tell them so non-chalantly, aren't you worried someone finds you?"
j "I'm not revealing names or showing proof, I might as well be a bumbling madman"
j "And I'm more than capable of taking care of a squad or two"
g "Reassuring"
j "You seem actually interested in these stories, Gillian"
g "You don't talk to a gun for hire every day, even in a crowded place like this one"
j "Well, I'll tell you what, I have to go, but there's time for any question you want to askw, just give me another drink"
g "What do you want?"
j "You've seen my tastes, surprise me"
g "Alright then, one Gut Punch"
j "No lame retort this time?"
g "You didn't ask me for it, so no"
j "Ok, ask away"
g "What's the hardest thing you've had to do?"
j "There's always this one job about killing a man whose only fault was being in the wrong place at the wrong time"
j "After any of those I try to find someone that wants that contractor dead and I give him a discount"
g "Don't you ever feel guilty about killing?"
j "I've learned to see targets as water bags rather than humans"
j "But if didn't know any humans, what little sanity I have would have gone out of the window ages ago"
j "That's why I asked your name, I need to reassure myself I'm surrounded by humans once in a while"
g "I see..."
g "And, here you go"
j "Oh, a Piledriver, alright, ask away"
g "Do you follow any kind of code of honor?"
j "Glad you asked! Actually, yes, I do"
j "Don't target women or children, only one target per contract, no messing with the target's family..."
j "Make deaths as painless as possible and always remember the name of those you've killed"
j "I offer a death service, but I'm not an animal"
g "Reassuring...w I think..."
g "Here you go"
j "Now, this is some good stuff.w Alright, ask away"
g "What's the easiest job you've had?"
j "Well, this one time I had to kill some double agent..."
j "But the guy got himself killed with some loose pipe that impaled him, seems he was drunk as hell too"
j "I barely arrived to where he was when it happened, the client even complimented me on the job"
j "I'm a murderer, but people themselves can be pretty self-destructive"
g "Makes you think, huh..."
g "Then, here you go, pure Bronson Extract"
j "Great. wWhat do you want to ask?"
g "Does your job pay well?"
j "You think it would, but I'm pretty close to a minimum wage worker"
j "Aside from my living costs, these implants ask for mantainance once in a while"
j "Then there's paying for intel, paying the cops to look the other way..."
g "Then why do you still do it?"
j "In the end of the day, I'm just an irredeemable psycho that loves the thrill of killing"
j "But I prefer being true to myself rather than being another corrupt pawn on the side of the law"
g "Commendable"
g "Then, here you go, pure Flanergide"
j "This'll be fun. wAsk away"
g "Any favorite method? Which weapon do you prefer?"
j "Listen, as much as humankind advances, there is still nothing better than a really sharp knife"
j "It's silent, efficient and portable"
j "And if you're gonna kill someone, make it personal, you're only worthy to go killing if you can do it in close quarters"
g "Huh..."
g "Here, pure Karmotrine"
j "Ask before I get too drunk to make sense"
g "Is your line of work a popular one? Do you have competitors?"
j "Nowadays everyone's either a freedom rebel or a puppet"
j "Both sides need mercenaries and killers once in a while, so I provide an actually scarce service"
j "Of course, it's scarce because it has the second highest mortality rate out of any job"
j "Just behind working in a dildo factory"
g ""Give dildos sapience and no laws of robotics" they said..."
g "Here you go"
j "And this is...?"
g "I have no idea"
j "Then I might not pay for it. Anyways, ask whatever you want"
g "What would you say it's the most dangerous kind of people you've encountered?"
j "Truth be told, your kind Gillian"
g ""My" kind?"
j "I've called them "Bartenders" even though you're actually the first bartender I've met like that"
j "The kind of people whose presence is able to make you let your guard down"
j "They are able to make you say anything even if they don't ask you"
j "And the worst part is, they are usually good people"
j "They can get most information they want and they won't do a thing with it"
g "You make it sound like it's some sort of terrifying superpower"
j "Consider that there are technicians that struggle doing what comes naturally to you"
g "I don't see it as a big deal"
j "Further proof of what I'm saying"
g "Whatever..."
j "Ok Gillian, I've got to go, take care now"
g "Yeah, you too..."
Alma[]
g "What may serv-..."
a "I don't care what you bring me as long as it has alcohol, lots of it"
g "...coming right up"
g "There you go"
a "A Sugar Rush...w do I look like a college freshman?"
g "You do"
a "...wthanks"
g "There you go"
a "Ah... a Sparkle Star. I was pretty much addicted to these in my first year of college"
g "You make it sound like that was a long time ago"
a "Oh you..."
g "There you go"
a "Hm, a Blue Fairy..."
a "I wish I was her, it would've given me the powers to turn liars into real men"
g "I see"
g "There you go"
a "A Fluffy Dream... well, I sure as hell need to have one right now"
g "There you go"
a "A Sunshine Cloud.w You know, that name's actually a bit depresssing"
a "It's not the sun, just a cloud blocking the sun"
g "The sun it's too much for some people"
g "There you go"
a "A Gut Punch, talk about old men drinks"
a "Wait...w are you calling me old?"
g "Not at all"
g "Here you go"
a "A Piledriver. Drinking one of these with a sore throat lets you make eye contact with Satan"
a "Altough it's strong enough to wash off any taste off your body"
a "It's been really useful after bad dates or awful nights"
g "I see"
g "Here you go"
a "This is an interesting Piledriver, what do you call it?"
g "A Suplex"
a "Fitting"
g "Here you go"
a "What's this?"
g "Ten units of pure Karmotrine"
a "Alright!"
a "Cheers!"
a "..."
g "..."
a "zzzzzz..."
g "Figures..."
g "Here you go"
a "Damn it to hell, I asked you for something with alcohol, not this kiddie garbage"
a "If you're not gonna offer that basic of a service, then I'll leave"
hide alma with wipedown
g "Oh well..."
g "Here you are"
a "Aaah, sweet nectar of the heavens..."
g "Say, you look troubled"
a "Why would you care?"
g "We have a strict policy about depressed drunkards"
g "We can handle violent, happy and lecherous alcoholics"
g "But depressing ones make newcomers realize what alcohol does to them"
g "And THAT is bad for business"
g "My job description actually says "If possible, make clients as happy as possible""
a "Well then, make me happy, I want a Brandtini"
g "(Oh god, the dreaded Brandtini, I always forget how to make that one...)"
g "(It was... Twice as much Adelhyde as there is Powdered Delta...)"
g "(...and Karmotrine equal to one third of the total Powdered Delta. All of it aged)"
g "(I wanna kick the bastard that came up with that recipe in the nuts)"
g "Coming right up"
g "Here you go"
a "Well, I guess I'll stay"
g "Here you go"
a "I looks... weird"
g "Taste it"
a "...wIt's alright, I guess"
g "Here you go"
a "A bit bland... but I'll take it"
g "Here you go"
a "...wyou don't expect me to really drink this, right?"
a "I better leave"
g "*sigh*"
a "Ok Mr. Bartender..."
g "Call me Gillian"
a "Gillian, Albert, John, I don't care"
g "(Do I have a John face?)"
a "You want to make me happy? This'll be interesting"
g "What troubles you then?"
a "I'll tell you what troubles me"
a "Today I call my mom to tell her how they paid me a nice sum of money for a job"
a "I tell her how I wanted to buy a bigger house and that kind of stuff..."
a "And she somehow turned it into a talk about how I don't even have a boyfriend yet"
a "She starts talking about my sister and her seven children and my brother-in-law's job..."
a "I love them, but the fact that mom brought them up like that irritated me to no end"
a "Worse part is, she then starts talking about how I need a "Real Job""
a "This "Fake Job" is really well paid, and she wants me to leave what I love doing?"
a "Well, not gonna happen"
a "..."
g "How do you feel now?"
a "...I feel a lot less irritated"
g "Sometimes all you need is to have someone listen to you"
a "Maybe you're right"
g "So, what's your "Fake Job"?"
a "I'm a hackerw, a professional one if I might say so myself"
g "Where do you work?"
a "You could say I'm in both sides of the law"
a "Rebels have asked me to hack into the corporations' systems and the corporations have me reinforce their systems"
a "I'm like a dentist that owns a candy store"
g "Any interesting stories?"
a "A couple, but let's make it fun"
a "I can't decide which drink order next, so, depending on which one you pick for me, I'll tell you a different story"
g "Which are your choices?"
a "A Bleeding Jane, a Cobalt Velvet, a Fringe Weaver or a Moonblast"
g "(A Bleeding Jane is one Bronson Extract, three Powdered Delta and three Flanergide, all blended)"
g "(A Cobalt Velvet is an aged Piledriver with Adelhyde instead of Bronson Extract)"
g "(A Fringe Weaver is easier, it's only one unit of Adelhyde and nine of Karmotrine, all aged)"
g "(And a Moonblast is like adding up a Sugar Rush and a Blue Fairy)"
g "Coming right up"
g "Here you go"
a "Picked the Bleeding Jane, huh? Well, here's a story with a deadly ending"
a "You see, they asked me to get some information out of som CEO's phone"
a "Now, hacking a phone is easy, yet tedious as hell"
a "First you have to find it through the wifi, getting to the router is easy, but finding one phone in it is hard"
a "Although once you find it, the phone has a very feeble security"
a "It would've been a cinch, but the guy got near a jamming device and I couldn't reach it"
a "He was out of reach for one full hour, but then he got out of the jamming device's range and that was it"
a "Although I found out later that the guy hanged himself on his room"
g "I think I heard about that..."
a "Cobalt Velvet? This is a bubbly drink, so let's give you a bubbly story"
a "My brother-in-law is actually an good old friend from high school, so I still hang out with him"
a "One day he found an acquaintance of his and he asked me for a favor on his behalf"
a "He said that there was this flash drive that seemed corrupted and he needed the data in it"
a "Not a big deal, you need to be a bit tech-savvy but it's something even a kid can do"
