'supernatural food and spirits' sounds interesting?? It's making me think of the Spirited Away bathhouse
it’s actually something original i’d been playing around with. a bar near my apartment opened up a while ago called “supernatural food and spirits” and the sign has a picture of a glowing crystal ball and other witchy stuff and it got me thinking things
Rhonda is one of two bartenders at Ether. Her sister,Clarice, is the real star of the show, though she’s rarely around. Clarice’s giftis the reason the sisters opened the bar to begin with. It’s something of agimmick, you see, to have a bartender that can see into the future. Now allthose pointless conversations with drunk customers for better tips actuallyserve a purpose, and people come fromfar and wide to hear the sage advice from the wise old woman known as Clarice.
Problem is, Clarice isn’t the managerial type.
Last time Seth asked, Clarice was headed for Paraguay for a“very specific type of pepper” (which remained unnamed) that she planned onusing in a future entrée (which never came to be, since her peppers were“confiscated in Customs”). Seth has yet to determine if he is supposed tobelieve her culinary escapades or make them out to be euphemisms for sex. It’spossible the answer was both. It’s possible she was back in town by now. It’salso impossible to confirm anything concrete about Clarice.
Either way, Clarice’s absence means that, more often thannot, the local bar with a supernatural gimmick is run by the least-spiritualperson Seth had ever met.
Rhonda.
“So,” Seth says with a smirk as he watches Rhonda pullglasses from the dishwasher rack and begin to dry them. “Can you predict whatI’ll have to drink?”
The rag inside of the wet tumbler stops moving for a momentas Rhonda’s eyes flick up to him.
“Water.”
