It was a typical day at the Rozen. Demi-gods in human form skulked about in corners, out of sight of the (extremely sexy yet evil and slightly gay) polymorphing-undead-dark-dragons-of-doom; an old man was telling dramatic stories of myth to kids who certainly didn't belong in there at the fireplace; several black hooded strangers quenched their ale at separate tables and stared suspiciously at one another. Xyla walked in, wrinkling her nose at the smell of alcohol, and ducked when a waitress came by who'd forgotten to put away her wings that had a three-foot span. Staring around at everyone, she trod cautiously over to the bar, which seemed suspiciously devoid of people.
Of course, there were the usual malcontents lounging about the bar, sipping their drinks and glancing around with tired eyes. Xyla looked around for the bartender, but there wasn't one to be found. "I could have sworn Sora said she worked here!" she muttered to herself, seating herself at a stool. "Hmm...so how the heck does anyone get a drink without a bartender?"
Out of sheer boredom, she leaned over the bar and peered down - and to her shock, there was Sora in a bartender outfit, hiding under the counter and playing Solitaire. "What the - ?!" Xyla exclaimed.
"Shhh!" Sora instinctively ducked. "You're not supposed to see me!"
"...What?"
"I don't exist! What kind of bar has a bartender? Duh!" She went back to her Solitaire game. Xyla leaned back, feeling thoroughly disturbed. "But I want a glass of ale..."
A tiny sheep jumped out of nowhere, deposited a glass full of said liquid in front of Xyla, and disappeared with a puff of pink smoke. Xyla blinked. "Whoa! Cool! I want a million zenny, too!"
Xyla waited. Silence.
"Can I have a million zenny?...please?..."
Sora kicked her from under the counter.
"Ow...meanie."
