Jacob Trance Posted June 10, 2019 Posted June 10, 2019 The evening has worn on, we are back in the hotel where a glum looking Aerith is half slumped across a bar. She props herself up with one elbow, nursing a Guinness. She sighs loudly and ruffles her hands through her hair before glancing at her phone. It ticks over and a notification pops up. She cackles before cheering sarcastically. Aerith: Bar keep! A pint of your best mead for aw ma pals! The bartender looks a little confused by the dialect. Aerith: A beer for all of my invisible friends. The bartender takes out a small glass and pours a quick shot of whiskey in and takes a hit. Bartender: It's closing time but I'll give you one for the road. Aerith glances up, a little bleary eyed. Bartender: It's your birthday, I saw it on your phone… Anyway… He begins to lock up, pouring another Guinness before starting to clean up. Aerith: Thanks… I appreciate it. Without another word the bartender finishes tidying up the seating area and slips out, he does however, leave the lights on. Aerith downs the remainder of her old pint before starting on the fresh one. Aerith: Yesterday sucked. Today sucks. Where the heck are those three? She sighs and necks the other pint, and puts the glass down on the bar before realising, it's closed. Aerith: I'll take this up to the room and wash it for him… The glass disappears into her bag as she departs, heading into the elevator to head up to her room. The doors close and she's gone. The camera remains running long enough to just about catch a female trio returning from a night on the town as it fades out. 7
