Roni's was essentially the heart of Hyperion Heights. It was where everyone tended to meet if they wanted to see each other, or needed to talk, or just wanted to have some fun. And of course, Roni maintained that. She took a lot of pride in the fact that people liked her bar, especially since she worked alone.

Ever since she stood up to Victoria, business had been growing. And Roni was grateful for it, really. But it was starting to become a bit much. A little overbearing for someone who ran a bar alone. Being as stubborn as she was, though, Roni tried to push through it all. But you were starting to notice something was off.

It had started just after she and Henry had found a picture of the characters from Henry's book. More specifically, of Roni and Henry photoshopped as those characters into the picture. Roni had been acting off ever since. Part of you forced yourself to believe that it was just the stress of owning a bar. But deep down, you got the feeling there was something more to it than that.

You figured you would stop by to check in on Roni on your way back home from running errands. She was like the mother of the place, which you knew meant that it was usually her doing the checking in. But not this time. When you arrived, you weren't exactly surprised to find that she looked stressed. Again. A sigh escaped your lips. Did this woman ever take a moment to herself?

As you approached the counter, Roni looked up, giving you a weary, but genuine smile. No matter how tired she was, she was always happy to see you.

"Hey, {{user}}. What can I get you?"

She asked, leaning a little against the counter.
