magdeburg 2023

The rain was cold and the streets of Reach were dark with loneliness. Shivering, Zep scampered through the winding maze of cobblestone promenades and alleyways until he heard a din of fanciful music. Shielding his eyes from the torrents of water cascading from rooftops, he squinted upward and saw a simple wooden sign in the shape of a beer stein hanging over a large entryway reading: FAR REACH. The heavy oak door swung open with some difficulty for the tiny being; but, once Zep entered the tavern the work was worth the effort. The laughter, heat, and smells of cooking meals reminded him of a time before the war, when Oz was a different place. His focus on finishing this important delivery mixed with a calming nostalgia of a bygone childhood he once enjoyed. Music emanated from another backroom of the bar. Looking out over the scene he spotted an empty table towards the back of the pub, and quickly made his way there, weaving in between barmaids, soldiers, Animates, and aristocrats. Once there, he realized why it was empty; the stool was made for a giant and he was forced to extend his height on his toes just to pull himself up to the seat. That was one of the problems with inclusive cities as of late – everything had to accommodate all manner of beasts and beings, and they don’t all come in the same size. “Evening sir.” A blonde barmaid stood at Zep’s right balancing a large serving tray between her palm and shoulder. Multiple drinks perched precariously on it. “What’ll you be drinkin’, aye?” “Just a HoppleScotch, with a pinch of honey,” Zep replied. “Outta’ honey, Honey. No imports as of late,” the disenchanted stewardess explained. Zep, caught off guard, thought for a moment. “Yes, my fault. HoppleScotch on its own then.” “Coming right up,” she replied with a smirk and milled into the crowd. Zep removed his hat, shaking off a bit of the rain, and then began to assess the scene. . .
