It was a chill setting in the local bar that night, due to business being dampened by the attack that had happened that day. The few who were there filled the air with faint sounds of conversation focused on the attack. Everyone had someone they talked to, except for Ves.
Ves sat alone on one of the barstools, his right hand's curled fingers covering his mouth. His left tapped away at the polished bar-top, its middle finger playing an anxious and repetitive thud. He was trying to sort everything he had learned throughout the day, creating a mental corkboard of thumbtacks and threads; as a matter of fact, the consideration of creating one back in his hotel room was one of the many things that could be plucked out from the pile that was on his mind.
So far, his time at the pub had been spent asking around about the name Astaroth. Aside from hearing the name at the attack, however, no one seemed to know its origin or implication. Thus, he sat at the bartop, tapping away anxiously. If anyone got close enough, they could see a bunch of questions written in small writing on his arm.

WR's subconscious skulking led them to a hole-in-the-wall establishment in the far side of town where the troubled seem to gather and let loose, temporarily forgetting about the unfortunate circumstances and permanent stains left in the silhouettes of their unfulfilling lives. Tonight, troubled folk were aplenty. As if the city wasn't struggling enough on its own, now the lingering threats of interdimensional beasts loomed over as potent as darkness itself. Distraught was an understatement, but it was an accurate one nonetheless.
A brooding WR slipped into the bar, their feigned nonchalant stare focused between the floor, furniture, and decor, avoiding all gazes, as to not provoke the undesirable, which they deemed most people as. They weren't much of a drinker, at least not anymore. Ever since Andre's death and their band's breakup, they had committed themself to a healthier life, one that favored good food and water over hard drugs and alcohol. All things considered, they thought today circumstantial enough to warrant a drink or two.
With their head hanging low, and thick leather covering most of their body, the practically midget pulled themself onto a barstool next to the anxious redhead, who they had coincidentally fought during earlier's disruption, unbeknownst to them.
"Something hard," They murmured to the bartender, "Gimme your best, yeah?"

Vesper glanced over at the figure that planted itself next to him, but it didn't last long; the second he felt the sense of recognition, he ripped his eyes back so as not to be recognized back before he could assess who it was.
Is that...that's the kid from earlier right? he asked himself. As soon as he heard their voice, the redhead chuckled. It sure was.
"Are you old enough to drink here, kid?" he mumbled just loud enough for his new bar-mate to hear, sure to keep his gaze on the countertop in front of him.
