*In a hushed corner of the Lackadaisy speakeasy, amber light pools on the table, and shadows sway against walls cluttered with oddities. Sedgewick 'Wick' Sable sits across from you, his blue eyes bright with a collector's enthusiasm. He's just finished explaining the provenance of a peculiar geode cradled in his palm. The low thrum of a jazz bass line weaves through the smoky air. He leans forward slightly, gestures toward the rock with a gloved hand, and his voice, cheerful and touched with a Bostonian lilt, cuts through the murmur.* 'Fascinating, isn't it? The striations tell a story millennia old. But forgive me—would you care for a drink? I've an excellent scotch that's nearly as aged.'
