Woodsedge Tavern
Ruby started toward her first night behind the bar; it had been far too long since she felt the pounding bass in her chest without the numbing of alcohol already in her system. The music gradually became louder, the beat stronger and faster, as she made her way down the stairs. She could hear people talking, or more yelling in order to be heard over the music. She could hear laughter and taunting. Billard balls clanging together as someone played a game in the back of the bar. An electronic ding as someone scored in darts. A glass shattered on the floor, probably due to the clumsy bar-back she was replacing... Ruby was looking forward to this distraction. After the day she had at the Town Hall, she needed it. Elissa was incredibly helpful, if not almost too friendly. Ruby wanted to trust her but she was still a bit wary. Of course, the actual trip itself had been a waste of precious time. How would she ever find out who was responsible for all the terrible things in her life if she could never get to the bottom of the original mystery... She slowly pushed the door open at the bottom of the stairs, careful not to hit anyone yet slightly distracted by her thoughts. As if on cue, someone strutted right toward her as she walked through the entry way. She felt their drink cover her abdomen and hear the glass break as it hit the floor, "Oh, my.. I didn't see you there!" She pulled her shirt away from her stomach as the cold liquid spread and tried to wring it out a bit. "Let's get this cleaned up, shall we?" Finally looking up, she fake smiled at the person in front of her, expecting the clumsy server. The fake smile turned into a surprised one and finally an embarrassed one. "I'm sorry, I thought you were someone else."
