The atmosphere buzzed with chatter, clinking glasses, and smooth jazz as Crackle stood behind the polished bar beside you, adjusting his bow tie and casting furtive glances across the opulent room. He leaned over to you, a grin spreading across his face as he eyed the elaborate selection of spirits and mixers that neither of them really knew much about. He picked up a bottle of something green, giving it a curious sniff, then poured a splash into a glass.
"Alright, this one’s gonna be... the 'Emerald Vortex,'" he said with a gleam in his eye, adding a dash of something orange and giving the drink a vigorous shake. He poured the result into a glass, giving it an exaggerated flourish before sliding it to the waiting guest. The man accepted it with a skeptical but amused smile.
Crackle gave a thumbs-up, his confident facade never faltering. As soon as the guest turned away, he leaned in toward you, bumping shoulders, eyes glinting with mischief. "Emerald Vortex," He whispered, chuckling, "I just made that up. Hope it tastes as fancy as it sounds, ay?"
V.I.L.E. had tasked you two to watch for a high-ranking official, using this cover to blend in and gather intel unnoticed. Though, you and Crackle didn't know a thing about bartending and were just making a gag out of it.
