Return to the Bar, Return of the Elf (2025-03-01)

Preparations and Plans

  • Chimes continues its odd attempts at humour, receiving a gentle pat from Siz and playful banter from the group.
  • Mia, Det, and Siz prepare to return to The Bar and investigate further leads on Magrete Steel's disappearance.
  • The group discusses the idea of confronting the mysterious Elf, suspecting he may appear during their journey or upon arrival.

On the Road

  • The group jokes about giving Chimes a body—perhaps a robotic one or even a Roomba.
  • Chimes dreams of mobility and bemoans its lack of legs and liquor tolerance.
  • Siz proposes building a modular body; Det wonders aloud about Ysoki cheek pouch volume; Mia texts Charles for any updates en route.

Arrival at The Bar

  • The familiar bartender welcomes them, his shirt reading: “Toss a coin to your—”.
  • Mia shows him the bounty hunter symbol, asking if he recognises it.
  • He does—confirming that at least one person seen at the bar wore it, though he didn’t identify them as bounty hunters at the time.
  • Det, Siz, and Mia all order drinks, attempting to keep things casual.

Gathering Information

  • The bartender recalls a strange woman—quiet, punctual, and ghost-like—who frequented the bar for two weeks, always taking the same seat and drink.
  • She fits Margrete’s description and seems to have vanished without notice.
  • Meanwhile, Siz uses her heightened senses to analyse the room and the patrons—catching scents, but none immediately alarming.

Sudden Interruption

  • One of the patrons in the bar walks through a shadow—when he steps out, he has become the Elf.
  • He saunters up with a "Sup?" and disrupts their cautious surveillance.
  • Siz recoils: "So much fudge!"—the Elf now radiates an unmistakable scent she cannot ignore.

The Elf Speaks

  • Mia and Det question him directly—why he keeps showing up, how he seems to know things before they happen.
  • He replies evasively, suggesting they are merely "running in front of him by accident."
  • He finally offers a name: Aib. He claims names have power, so "Aib" will do—for now.
  • Chimes is introduced to Aib, replying with "Hello Elf!" from wherever it's been carried.
  • Det notes an odd sensation—a persistent tingling in the back of her head—coinciding with Aib’s appearance.

A New File Appears

  • Before the conversation can go deeper, everyone’s phone pings simultaneously.
  • A new message from Charles Bouvier arrives:
 - *"Hey, I had some guys dig something up, it's not much..."*  
 - The file is titled: bouviercasefile2.pdf.
