Truce - Bar
A wrap-around bar girdles this entire room with only a single gap
allowing entrance from the west. Rubber bumpers at each corner of the bar
let talented bartenders make bank shots when sliding customers drinks. The
alcohol on display is locked within cabinets of mean-looking glass. Grab a
stool and belly up to the bar.

(] Exits: west [)
A bartender is here, serving food and drinks.
Toma Levine is up at the bar, listening for the latest gossip.
The impeccable Ford Prefect sits here, drinking a beer and holding a towel.

>look Imbibobot
Here staggers a robot who's seen better days. It creaks loudly whenever
it moves, and rust encrusts swaths of its body, especially around its mouth.
It's barely noticeable how rusty it is, though, because gobs of mud are
stuck all over its body.
Imbibobot is in perfect condition.

Imbibobot is using:
a bottle opener, soldered to the left arm
a shot glass, soldered to the right hand

a denim bucket hat
a crudely wrought breastplate of dark green exoskeleton
a pair of woolen idiot mittens
a pair of denim overalls
a pair of jute-soled cloth shoes
a long, slender quarterstaff fashioned from polished bronze


Fishspill says '...Hello?'

The bartender says 'Man, these guys have been here for weeks...'
The bartender says 'I wonder if Ford even bathes?'

Fishspill says 'Looks like someone was hungry'

Imbibobot says 'Aaah. Must better.'

Fishspill looks at you.

Imbibobot says 'Why was I ever programmed to be sober.'

Fishspill says 'Because you're creator is a demon.'

Imbibobot says 'This is one of the great mysteries of life. I was completely parched.'

Imbibobot says 'My creator is not a demon! He is just old.'

Fishspill says 'Ah, older than time itself?'

Imbibobot says 'And has hair that looks like horns. But it is a pure coincidence.'

Imbibobot says 'The only thing here that is older than time itself is my thirst.'

Imbibobot sits down at a barstool.

Fishspill sits down at a barstool.

Imbibobot says 'You will tell me your story. I will process my ethanol.'

Fishspill says 'I was walking in my home land... Herding my chocolate treestumps...'

Fishspill says 'When SUDDENDLEY, I saw a beast in the night... He threw me into an ocean... '

Fishspill says 'And then I wqs thirsty so I drank the ocean.'

Fishspill says 'The end.'

Imbibobot says 'Does not compute.'

Imbibobot says 'Ocean does not have ethanol. Ocean is undrinkable.'

Imbibobot says 'Unless'

Fishspill says 'I was in the long lost ETHANOL SEA!'

Imbibobot says 'There was trace percentage ethanol. You had to drink it all to ---'

Imbibobot mouth gapes wide.

Imbibobot looks up at Fishspill adoringly.

Imbibobot says 'Are you god?'

Imbibobot says 'Sacrilege. God cannot be broke.'

Imbibobot says 'What kind of world would allow God to be broke.'

Fishspill says 'Taxes is to high. My propert tax for heaven is unbelievable.\'

Imbibobot says 'I will find money for God. I will make an offering.'

Imbibobot says 'And then God will keep Sobriety away.'

Imbibobot awkwardly stoops to its knees and grovels before Fishspill.

Fishspill says 'You must now chan, " LOHHL ETHHHAAANNNOOOLLL!"'

Imbibobot says 'LOOOOOOHL ETHAAAANNNOOOO--- *sputter* *spurt*'

Imbibobot coughs.

Imbibobot points to its mouth.

Imbibobot looks sad.

Fishspill rears back and slaps Imbibobot cruelly for your stupidity, sending it sprawling to the floor.

Fishspill says 'Do not stop chanting! MWAHAHAHA'

Imbibobot grovels before Fishspill.

Imbibobot creakily lifts a finger and draws out 'MONEY' in the air.

Imbibobot stands up.



Truce - 9th National Bank
Faux marble pillars decorate the corners of the bank, whitewashed along

over the vault door.

Truce - Boulevard
The road is a broad checkerboard of tiled stone spreading southward. A
brick planter divides it in two, stuffed full of soil and sprouting palm
trees that run single-file down the center of the road. The building to the
west has a giant gold coin mounted on its facade, and building to the east
sports the word "TOURIST" on its own.

Guardia - A Field of Stumps
The industry and inhabitants of Truce have deforested this area, using
