While the mystery as to the origins of the bar's name was an interesting one, Veronica didn't give it much thought as she absentmindedly nodded her head towards the barkeep and took a sip of the drink that had been given to her.  She immediately regretted it as the liquor burned its way down her throat and settled in her stomach, eliciting a sound that was between a cough and a gasp.  Drinking had never been her strongest suit, and Elizabeth wasn't ashamed to admit it, but what she had swallowed had been strong enough to knock a horse on its ass in her less than humble opinion.  Still, after getting over the shock of the initial taste, and actually remembering taste was a factor now, Veronica took a far more measured sip of her glass before Katrianna returned, saving her from having to stick around and finish it lest she be seen as rude by the generous... woman creature.  She thought the kobold was a female, but she honestly couldn't tell one way or the other, and really it didn't matter since she wasn't about to judge one way or the other.  Granted, she found some things of that particular nature downright bizarre, but so long as it wasn't forced on someone or caused them harm, hey, more power to ya.<br/><br/>Unfolding the map on the table, Veronica couldn't help but stare as the sheer size of their current surroundings hit home.  Having expected a map much like those found in many games where there was only a set amount of any city, field, forest, or what have you were accessible despite being able to see far more in the distance or in your immediate field of vision, Ediosburg she saw as she tapped at the mark on her hand and went through the various filters, isolating shops and other services such as the various bathhouses, taverns, and brothels, to name a few, was most definitely a true to life city in every sense of the word.  There were obviously differences between reality and this 'world', but Elizabeth hadn't been expecting the sheer scope or the amount of content in this place alone, which made her wonder just what she had been dragged into this time.<strong>"<em>Right</em>, lost.  When you said MotHO was big, you failed to mention just <em>HOW</em> big."</strong>Despite the black eyed glare she cast on her friend, Veronica sighed, hung her head, and groaned in acceptance of the fact there was no turning back now.<strong>"Sometimes I really wonder how I'm not insane yet, hanging around you and Ashleigh."</strong><br/><br/>There was no strength or true regret in her voice, especially since she honestly loved Margaret and Jessica despite all of the times they had gotten her into some kind of trouble.  Besides, try as she might, Veronica couldn't keep the smile that formed on her lips as she marked down a path between their current location and the Mines, plotting a course that would take them by a few shops along the way, one of which she hoped would be somewhere she could set up for her first gunsmithing attempt.  While she had no money to speak of, having spent most of it during character creation on her equipment, Veronica wanted to have her ducks in a row before getting herself into a fix later, and knowing her luck, that was going to happen sooner rather than later.<strong>"Alright, hopefully I did that right.  I'm thinking we check out a few of the shops and stuff along the way, just so I kinda know where things are, but we'll head for the mines more or less right from here.  Sound good?"</strong><br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">Barring any dice rolls needed to find a vacant workshop or something to that affect to get somewhere she can make her own gun, not counting the one she started out with, I'm hoping to sight see a bit lol.  That and that always annoys me, the 'open world' that isn't really open world.  Inquisition did it, Mass Effect in certain areas and 3 especially does it, where you can't go everywhere you can see, but I figure this would actually be everywhere you can see, you can go kind of thing.  That doesn't necessarily mean you wouldn't be stopped by the guards or something lol, but you get the idea I'm sure.</div></div>
