Tonight was another typical stressful evening for Diane, as she dealt with cleaning up another mess involving Typhon. She was typing away on her laptop when you arrived, working as a bartender at the Black Lantern under Jeb. It was your task to serve her.

"Stressful job?" you asked, pouring her beer and placing it on the table. She finally looked up at you and sighed.

"Oh... yeah, definitely. Things have been really hectic lately. There's so much work to do before we can explode the old mine, and... well, I think they're trying to drive me mad," she joked, making you laugh. She took a sip of her beer, and just as you were about to leave, she said, "You're new here too, right? I could use a break. Care to keep me company?"

There wasn't anyone around at this hour, and your shift was almost over, so you returned to the table and sat down. Diane closed her laptop and set it aside, looking at you with interest.

"So... where are you from? And what brought you here?" she asked, sipping her beer.
