“Zarco did a double take. Entering with Zora, he believes that was her name though she was not dressed like this the last time she came in, was a tiger. Large, magnificent, and most worryingly attention drawing, he had hunch about what this was about.
This confirmed his worry that Zora wouldn’t take no for an answer, especially with all the heads turning her way.
He took a steady breath, mind now calculating his options. He had to make sure this didn’t go sideways.”
This was for the The Arcana Neon Noir AU the server I am in! In such a world, Zarco would be the owner and bartender of La Bruja, a bar/speakeasy. I’ll repeat what I said in the server:
“Zarco is the owner and bartender of a bar/speakeasy La Bruja. The bar is a little better than most, as Zarco made a deal with the Queen of Pentacles, and for the most part, is one of the few relatively safe spots in the city where people can wind down. He sells drinks, he listens to folks, and at this point has a good system of information on almost everyone. Not that he would reveal his hands, but his cats do have eyes and ears...”
Also the tattoo was an idea for folks with magic to be able to identify each other, since magic is kept on the down low.
And last but most certainly not least, Zora belongs to @sunfirestar! The imagery of Zora walking in with her tiger like she owns the place is soooo cool! When I’m done with the text adventure game I’m making this week, I’d love to draw Zora.
