Curate, connect, and discover
josie knew all too well how it felt, to spend hours going over words that were long and often made no sense. she'd done it for months with hope, after the merge and it drained every thing out of her. it was so easy to recognize and so she hadn't realized she was staring. placing her hands in the air, the siphoner smiled softly. "sorry, i just noticed you seem like you've had a rough day." getting up from her stool, josie made her way over to the other with tight lipped smile. "could i get you a drink? you know you can never go wrong with a dirty shirley. it's all the fun of childhood but slightly upgraded."

amelie let out a weary sigh as she rested her head on the cool surface of the bar table, exhaustion weighing heavily on her shoulders. the day's endless pursuit of elusive magic had left her drained, her mind swirling with endless questions and doubts. she had spent hours poring over ancient tomes and scrolls, searching for a glimmer of understanding, a hint of the knowledge she so desperately sought - and now? well, now she just wanted to get drunk, wasted even.
with a thud, she made a sound against the wood, too tired to care about the noise. her gaze drifted lazily across the dimly lit room, only to catch the stare of someone nearby. without lifting her head, she turned slightly to face them.
"is it a habit of yours to stare at young women?" she asked, her voice tinged with a hint of resignation. tonight, she had neither the energy nor the patience for anyone's idle scrutiny.
