There were three locations in the Ark which still had the remnants of some signage which indicated that it was formerly used as some sort of drinking venue. The one near the rooftop of the top deck, whose faded lettering said Skylight Terrace Bar, was anything but, a flattened corner of demolished frame and counter. The second was a row of what used to be described as cabanas along the pool deck, or at least that's what Kirk had been taught to believe, whether accurate or no, including the existence of swimming pools. The only one in operation, with provided some semblance of a watering hole, was the one with the unlit neon sign along its entrance wall, Schooner, under which someone had sprayed
Than Later, evidently their idea of humour. The dark wood finishings and faux sailing wall decorations, most askew, were the reminders of what the themed bar was like when it was used.
In fact, the more Kirk thought about it, the more he felt that that was Nove's wordplay. Nove ran the bar under the auspices of rarely-seen boss Kevla, dispensing whatever blindness-causing moonshine her crew managed to concoct from whatever they could mix and dilute from either a stash somewhere, or from outside. It was a good spot to find Yassan and some of the other stalkers as a spot to unwind after some of their travails. This also meant that Kirk could suss out information about the latest forays into the Zone, and even more importantly, perhaps score a chance to get dibs on whatever they managed to find.
OOC:
If you like you can narratively fill in a few details of this bar and/or one or two of its patrons in your next post. Let me know what Kirk's going to do in the bar.
