Mushgnome's Hobbet-centric PBP

"I'd like to apply for the position of customer. Until today, no one in this village has been willing to serve a poor thirsty hobbet a pint of ale..." Beppo licked his lips expectantly...mushgnome wrote: ↑Mon Apr 18, 2022 4:24 pmBeppo and Robur:
Darby replies to Beppo's question: "The Welcome Wench went out of business. I don't know why; maybe their tacky decor?" (He points at the bonfire.) "We weren't planning our Grand Opening for a couple of weeks, but if you're hungry, I'm not going to turn you away. By any chance, are you looking for a job? We are hiring for all positions: cook, server, dishwasher, housekeeping..."
"I'll have a drink inside," says Robur finally calming down and heading into the tavern with Beppo and the others while sheathing his Hobbit stiletto. "But can you tell me what's really going on here? Why does the pancake house hate the old sign and alcohol? Why the broken barrels of alcohol? Can my friends and I really drink here?"Scottenkainen wrote: ↑Tue Apr 19, 2022 2:01 am"I'd like to apply for the position of customer.

"Fiona, Douglas, Beppo," says Robur quietly to his friends. "Let's enter, but don't expect alcohol. Something is off here. Be on your guard."mushgnome wrote: ↑Tue Apr 19, 2022 5:06 amRobur and Beppo
Darby says, "Pinch yourself, it's not a dream: You and your friends really, really can drink here. Come inside, I have just the thing to quench your thirst: a piping hot latte! I tell you what, on the house, no charge, I need the practice fine-tuning the machine. Sometimes the foam comes out a little... chunky. To answer your questions: I don't know what's going on either, we're new in town, never been to the pancake house, don't know why he hated the old owner. Mike and I were just in the middle of clearing out all the old junk that got left behind. This Inn has good bones, but the whole 'party atmosphere' decor has to go. Here at the Straight and Narrow, our motto is: In these trying times, it's important to walk the straight line and always keep a narrow mind! Mike, will you do the honors?"
Mike scoots ahead and opens the door for our guests. With a big smile, he proclaims, "Open!"
Do you enter?
