Maomao perked up, noticing Anya entering the bar. She was loud enough to get her attention.

"Need something, MaoMao?" he asked as he stood there cleaning a glass cup. "Just let me know right now."

Anya blinked, looked to her left and right, then back to the man as she pointed at herself. Obviously, she knew he was referring to her, but it felt a little jarring to meet someone who doesn't know her. Though it was relieving. Perhaps this place wasn't a Branch in the Inbetween, after all.

"Me?" A grin broke out on her face as she took off her top hat and curtsied with playful grace, then straightened back up again. "Well! Names are funny things, aren't they? I'll save you the guessing." She paused, then snickered to herself. "Kidding~ Name's Ace of Spades. Ace, for short. And who are you, my good sir?"

She hummed as she thought to herself, tapping her chin. "Hmm... got any bourbon in stock?"

"Nice to meet you, Ace," he said as he looked at her casually. "My name is Blaze. The bartender of the place. Anything you desire?" he asked her. When she said bourbon, he smiled as he leaned down and got a good bottle of bourbon and a crystal cup. "Here we are," he said as he walked to her and put both down in front of her. He did the first pour as he didn't make even a spill.

"Anything else, just ask me, okay?" he said as he went back to cleaning something. "It's the least I could do for a newcomer here. This place definitely has interesting occupants. Some more unsavory than others," he told her as he looked at her with a smile on his face. He noticed her grin. This reminded him of his good years of being what he was. But he didn't miss most of it. Being redeemed was what he loved the most.

"Not now at the moment, I am just chilling." Maomao said. "But I will let you know."

"A pleasure to meet you as well, Blaze!" Anya said, tilting her head to the side. As the man poured her drink into the cup, she leaned forward and rested her elbows on the table, watching him pour without a drop with wide eyes.

"Will keep that in mind. Thank you!" Anya replied with a smile and a wink, taking a sip of her cup as she leaned over her shoulder to watch the other customers of the bar. Despite being told about some unpleasant people, it doesn't seem like it would stop her from interacting with them. "Mm. Speaking of which... where exactly are we? Never saw this place before."

"You're welcome!" he said as he winked back at her. He might seem harmless, but she didn't know this. He thought a moment at the question as he responded with, "It's Trixie's tavern, and we are kind of in-between different universes." He stood there hoping that was enough information for her to take in.

Xueqing has finished like two thirds, and she was still going strong. Well, look whose belly was too empty!

((Ablaze: man))

"Hey, Xueqing. How's the training going?" he asked as he stood there with a smile on his face.

Maomao looked at Anya, and despite her a bit antisocial nature, she decided to try interacting with her.

"Hey."

((oopsie you recognized the wrong person))
((she's public version))
((I could do a shift though))
"It's going fine, I think. Well," The pale girl (Ablaze Xueqing) scratched her head while still having the chicken, "I couldn't believe she gave me the flamethrower option. I can't be trusted with it, seriously... so I just went for the gun. Easier to use and will not accidentally burn down stuff."

(I did. x.x)

"Sounds like her!" he said as he could only shake his head in response. "Best you picked the gun instead of something that would burn down a place?" He thought again as he said, "Did you receive your power suit yet?" He went back to cleaning as he stared at her with a slight grin on his face.

"Well, not yet." Ablaze Xueqing shrugged. "That's a later thing."

"For now I'm just taking a break here, hehe."

"Sounds good!" he said as he looked at her with a gentle smile. If she only knew his rough past, she would think differently of him. "Best to get rest," he said as he sat down for a moment.

"In-between different universes?" Anya repeated, drumming her fingers on the surface of the table as she took another sip. "How interesting! And here I thought the Inbetween was the only realm in-between different worlds!" She snickered at her own joke. "Pleasant to know I was wrong. This way, I could spend my time here and take a break once in a while."

Ace immediately perked up, turning around in one smooth motion to face the source of the voice.

"Whomst has hath called upon me?!" She spoke, rather boisterous, then she locked eyes with the snake woman and pointed a finger at her. "YOU."

"Hello, hello~!" Anya waved her hand eagerly at her, grinning brightly. "Name's Ace, pleasure to meet you!" Her eyes looked over Maomao, noticing her unique 'scales'. "What lovely scales you have there! May I have your name?"

"Looks like it! No worries for anything. You are safe here. This is a safe haven for all," Blaze said as he clapped his hands with some excitement. "So what brings you here?" Blaze asked as he watched her drink her bourbon. "To your liking, I hope?"

Apollo had an armful of dirty dishes and utensils he was carrying back to the dish pit, but someone who felt vaguely familiar caught his gaze.

His attention lingered on ace for a moment, before shrugging and continuing his way. Must be his mind playing tricks on him, there was no way he’d forget such a distinct looking person.

"My name is Maomao, nice to meet you." Maomao said, introducing herself. "And those what look like scales are actually leaves." she explains.

"Welcome to Trixie's tavern?" he questioned the man who had just arrived in the tavern. "Need anything just ask me," he said as he stood there waiting for more orders.
