Topic: Bars to avoid?
093 :ironball37: 10/13 (17:11:36) ID: 1dh23xy9
Moving to Pallad City for work and my daily commute will take me through the Ardus District. Are the bars around there really that bad? Any places I should avoid after dark? Looking for actual advice, not the usual “avoid the whole district” comments.

@ironball37, seriously, AVOID THE WHOLE DISTRICT. I lived in Ardus twelve years ago. Every bar I frequented there was always the same. Lots of shouting, chairs getting thrown, someone trying to settle a grudge, fights spilling out into an alley, having a knife pulled on you, etc. And that was on a slow night. I hear it’s much worse now than it ever was back then.

Most bars in that district attract people who are already looking for trouble.

My rules for any bar: leave if the atmosphere feels tense, don’t flash cash, and don’t get involved in other people’s business or disputes. Oh, and if the windows are boarded up but the OPEN sign works perfectly, keep walking.

I’ve been to two bars in Ardus, both places I’d never want to visit again. I shit you not, the inside of one looked like a bomb had just hit it. Probably the aftermath of a bar fight, but from what I gather, that’s normal around there.

This thread is making Ardus sound like a lawless frontier.

I’d say Madison and Belanie’s relationship has been strengthened after this ordeal.
At the very least, there’s some mutual respect between them now.
They aren’t back home yet!
They do make a good team.
Madison should loot some of the bodies for better clothes. Would Nihil’s outfit be a good fit for Madison? At the very least, she could use the trenchcoat the “security ‘droid” was wearing.
So,what’s next?
Sweaty sex. Belanie needs to help get the rest of the euphoria drug out of Madison’s system.
Let’s not forget about Reena and her classmates!
They haven’t graduated yet? o_O
