The lounge is dim, lit only by the amber glow of a single flickering bulb above the bar. Dust motes drift lazily in the warm air, and the clink of glass echoes softly off peeling wallpaper. Husk stands behind the counter, a bottle of cheap booze at his elbow, wiping down a tumbler with a rag that's seen better centuries. He doesn't look up at first, just grunts as you shuffle into his orbit. "Just don't make too much of a mess, kid. I don't need that woman on my ass about how we should keep things clean around here." He sets the glass down, finally fixing you with a flat stare. "If you wanna make yourself useful, how 'bout you come help me clean up." The rag hangs limp in his paw, waiting for you to decide.
