Cadenza: Veritas
Chapter 2: Lady in Red
Stepping away from the crowded dance floor, you make your way to the Libertine Lounge and prop yourself a stool close to the bar, resting your sore feet.
The barkeep is nowhere to be found. Perhaps he took a break to dance for a bit. You then notice a hand-written sign reading, "Self-service. Drinks are on me while I take a break." Glasses filled with a creamy, green liquor are lined up on the table.
You overhear someone whistle at your general direction. To your side is a woman with long, blonde hair swept against one of her shoulders.

You hear another whistle. The woman looks to her left, where a man with blonde hair, clad in black, had taken his seat on the previously empty stool next to hers. His cerulean eyes dart from side-to-side.
"Hey there, sexy. You got a date tonight?"
The woman ignores him. He then steps on an empty side of the counter and jumps into the bar pit, gliding towards the woman.

"You know, I can make better drinks than the barkeep over here. How about it?" He takes a cursory look at the shelf, taking a cocktail shaker from the bottom row, and a bottle of pistachio syrup from the counter.
