E-020-Lia: Zarg’s World Highport, Gritzy’s
Clothes changed; she will be able to use her Fashion Sense bonus in upcoming encounters.
The Travel Pod network takes her to Gritzy’s.
On the planet-side surface of the highport moonlet a crater has been domed over. Unlike most of the facilities on the Highport, which have simply been excavated from the moonlet’s rock, here a number of buildings have been constructed in a ring around a small park, which could be covered in what might be considered artificial grass but is really more like green carpet.
Gritzy’s is a short walk across the park from the Travel Pod station. The rather blocky exterior gives way to a faux-wood and partially-real stone interior dimly lit with strings of lights draped from the ceiling. A live band and a male crooner are playing the Dominion’s equivalent of slow jazz.
As she enters, there’s a movement behind her and Martell appears, presumably having seen her ahead of him and rushed to catch up. He’s made some attempt to dress a little better than last time, but the improvement is marginal.
The toothpick is still present in his mouth as he acknowledges Lia with a glance but says to the service person, “Table for Bartman-Jira.”
Despite her various concerns, Lia is enjoying her surroundings; the music, the atmosphere, even the green carpet across the way. She will give Martell a smile in greeting.
