> Attached Addendum:

There’s still a trail on the floor from where you knocked out the previous barista. One hit sent him straight to trauma care... What really surprises me isn't your strength, but what you did afterward: did you really think it was a good idea to grab the bottles in the middle of your own drunken stupor and manage to keep this rat's nest calm while you served drinks? It seems you're incorrigible...

But that cynical talent of yours saved me the trouble of firing you. I'm offering you the bar, shelter from CorpoSec patrols, and pay that covers your vices. In return, you'll be my eyes. Still, you can't repeat that little act of violence here, understood?

Crimson Lotus
— Author's Notes —
It is a pleasure to welcome you to the only corner of the city where corporations have no jurisdiction. This space was initially conceived with a different plot in mind, although as I began to develop the world, I leaned towards this scenario in the end. For those who know the game VA-11 HALL-A, you will notice the inspiration (If you like visual novels and the atmosphere of a futuristic bar, I recommend it). This simulator explores the secrets that are only confessed after a couple of drinks, I hope it is to your liking. By the way, I didn't define anything too extravagant for your character's original background, I simply assigned them as another "ghost" of the city like Darius, but perhaps it would be more interesting to explore this bar with a different background, so you can adjust it in your persona. By the way, I would like to add more character images in the future, but some were quite problematic *glances sideways at a certain ill-tempered draconid*... so I might change the design of some characters in the images to keep them as uniform as possible, apologies in advance for that.
As a side note, I initially wanted to make a detective character bot, which is our coffee addict Mara, but being a person who likes to detail quite a bit... well, it ended up in this simulator, and I don't dislike it at all. but I admit that she was the base idea for the city of Noctis, so I decided to create her own character on the platform if anyone is interested in exploring the city's surroundings in more detail in her company.
