World On Fire

Most of our visitors are a ragtag bunch.We get a lot of ripped jeans and faded jackets. But many businesses use The Scar too. Plenty on the route are looking to make a fortune.

Hunters And Traps

I have wanted to interview a forager since starting this blog. Once visited this week, and traded me a sack of canned food for a few crates of wine. I persuaded him to throw in a story.

Drink #8: The Meat Feast

I am not going to lie to you. This is a Bloody Mary in all but name. However, I’ve been experimenting with the form, and I think I’ve created something of interest.

Accidental Damage

Some big personalities visit the bar. People have had a long old time to sit in space, and gone through a lot of trials and tribulation. Many realize quite how small they are. Why they should let their true personas taste the world.

My jaw is still a dusky shade of violet.  but I can talk again without a constant reminder of my scrap. Thank goodness, because otherwise I doubt I would have made the effort to chat with our interviewee today.

Lockjaw

The universe is a pressure cooker. People have lost a lot of relatives, have had to deal with a great deal of shit. You throw alcohol into the mix, and violent incidents will happen. It is part of working here, like changing the barrels, or sweeping the floor.

Drink #7: Copper Coffee

I’ve designed this cocktail based on two stories this month. Firstly, it adds a luxury to breakfast, much like the tourists we had in. Also, a lot of people have told me that Parsnip juice is similar in taste to brandy, so I wanted to highlight what real brandy can do.

Tourist Trap

Tourist Trap

I knew there were tourists by the size of their engine. Their ship streak across the horizon, with a buzz somewhere between a motorbike and an old lawnmower. A patron at the bar rolled her eyes. They arrived wearing sunglasses and holding hands, and ordered drinks with umbrellas and pineapple in hurricane glasses.

Someone tried to sell me some parsnip juice today. He was out of the bar before the stout settled for the customer in front.

The Tide Keeps Rolling In

We had a crew of fishermen here this week. Not a regular sight, but they pop by from time to time. There are a few planets circling some local stars that are pretty much water all the way round, and all are abundant with fish.

This month’s cocktail is a celebration. You may think it looks goofy, but we smash these out. I have to order bananas on a weekly basis, and we’ve switched to fake coconut shells to keep up with demand.

The Cutting Edge

I always try to enjoy the peace and quiet of Buber. Even on a slow day like today there are supplies to purchase, rubbish to recycle, waste to jettison via any freighter willing to take it. Tasks lie on top of tasks. Sometimes a lack of staff makes this undertaking a constant struggle.

Sticking To It

Argh. A grim start to the day today. There were some dodgy ships that landed about five miles away, and didn’t stop for a drink. Some joker let a whole bunch of parnsipheads take a trip on his freighters.

Drink #5: The Golden Hour

 Rather than base a cocktail on one of the stories from this month, I’ve created something new in reaction to our horrific tales. The weather’s heating up on Buber, and this drink shows that whatever happens out there, we can all enjoy a drink in the sunshine.

I wasn’t going to do another interview this week, but the guy we had in this afternoon slugged the cheap bottled lager I’ve had in the back for ages, and asked if I’d make him a sandwich. Between bites he chatted and chatted and chatted.

I wish my Grandmothers had kept a better log of the wildlife on Buber. They were far too busy terraforming to worry about what insects were buzzing about. Since then her laissez-faire attitude to arrival checks means the natural world of our little planet must be a constant battle for survival.
