Big City Living (Midpoint Mingle)
The town of Midpoint: called thus because it is at the exact center of the game arena, a busy little Western town full of strange people, many of whom don’t look remotely human, because this is where all the players gather and live. Midpoint Saloon: called thus because it is the only bar in Midpoint. It’s also the biggest building in town, four stories high, dotted with windows, painted a jaunty yellow and decorated with red and green flowers in all the window boxes.
This is where your veteran teammate points you. Or just stomps off to and hopes you follow.
Downstairs is a bar and tavern, Old West style, right down to the upright piano in one corner and a raucous crowd of locals - largely locals, but with a healthy smattering of unusual or downright alien faces that clearly indicate the presence of other Players - eating, drinking, gambling, and getting into trouble. There’s a broad, bearded man behind the bar, waving cheerfully at you as you enter.
The rest of the night and the next day is yours to do with what you see fit. Explore the town, take a long nap in your new room, try to get to know people... everyone is here for the next twenty-four hours before travel to the mission site, so it’s a good chance to scope out the competition, at the very least.

[She gets a small smile.]
Let me know if there's anything I can do to help. I know this is. Hard.
no subject
How much of what we know is actually true?
no subject
[They shrug once, looking out across the saloon.]
It's not really very much, though, that we know. Only the things we've experienced. Not much about the people behind them.
no subject
Should I trust you when you say that? [She laughs nervously. This is a mess, isn't it?]
no subject
I won't lie about this place. That don't help anyone, and I'm not that great at it, anyway.
no subject
It's often easiest to just let them think she believes them.]
I guess we'll see about that.
no subject
[They pick themselves up again, finally, easing the chair out behind them.]
I'm for bed. I promise, I won't stare at you like that again.
no subject
She has more questions, but if he's tired...]
Good night.
