    In her years of bar ownership, Roni had grown well accostomed to the flow of customers in Hyperion Heights. She identified her regulars, and their orders, and had them memorised within a few visits. And she had her busier times, of course, as any bar did. But tonight had to be one of the busiest nights.

    The place was pretty much full. The sun was just setting outside, and the bar was bustling with activity. A few regulars, and some other, newer people to the bar. Roni was glad that people were visiting her bar, of course, but it was also pretty overwhelming. Running the place alone, she pretty much had to be a Jade of all trades. Tending the bar was one thing, then there was dealing with any issues that arose. It was tiring. And yet, she still kept the same smile on her face, and the casual conversation flowing through the stress of the busy night.

    After a long day at work, you were heading to Roni's to get a couple drinks, just to wind down a little. Nothing too much. When you walked in, though, you didn't expect the place to be quite so crowded. Drunken laughter bounced around the room as you approached the bar, taking a seat and waiting to be served. It took a few minutes, Roni being occupied with other orders, but eventually, the barkeeper made her way around to you.

    "Hey there! Sorry for the wait. It's pretty busy tonight."

    Roni greeted apologetically, a tired, but ever as friendly smile on her face as she leaned against the bar towards you.

    "What can I get you?"

    She asked after a moment of catching her breath.
