DRUNK MAN: ---------- As you approach the man doesn't stir. Hey! Wake up. There is still no response from the man, whose face rests in a pool of rainwater. Can you hear me? There's still no sign of movement. Perhaps he isn't even alive... VIDEOGAME PLAYER ---------------- Vidgame player:You recognise the vidgame player as someone who comes into the bar fairly often. He wears a brown leather jacket and torn and faded jeans. He is concentrating intently on his game. The vidgame player is wrestling furiously with the controls on the arcade machine and ignores you as you approach. Hi there. How's it going? Look, I'm try to concentrate, just leave me alone. Your name's Steve isn't it? Yeah that's right, now could you just leave me alone? I guess I should get going anyway, see you later. Steve looks sideways at you as you walk up to the machine. Hello again. I don't think you're listening to me. I just want to be left alone to play this game. Now get lost. Yeah, sure. See you later... SPARKY ------ Sparky:Sparky is stood behind the bar. Obviously he has no staff available and has to work himself. Sparky is overweight and scruffy. His belly pokes out from beneath his grey shirt. He doesn't look very happy. Sparky looks up at you and says "Hey Ryan. Did you get my Mailnet message?" No, sorry, I mean, sorry I'm late. That's OK, no problem at all. Really? Yeah, you're fired. If you'd bothered to read my message you would know by now. You can't do that! I really need the money. Sorry Ryan, I can't use unreliable staff. Look, I'm sorry, I've been having a few problems sleeping recently, I'll try and pull myself together. I'll tell you what I'll do. Take a couple of weeks off, try and sort yourself out. You aren't any good to me like this. Thanks, I really appreciate it. Do you think I could have my wages? Well... I guess so, even though I've ended up having to work behind the bar myself. Just run your card through the scanner. OK, and I promise I'll sort myself out. Sparky looks at you expectantly. Perhaps you should do as he says. Look Ryan, if you want your wages you'll have to give me your cashcard. Oh yeah, I can't think straight today. Well maybe you should go and see a doctor... Sparky:Sparky is stood behind the bar. Obviously he has no staff available and has to work himself. Sparky is overweight and scruffy. His belly pokes out from beneath his grey shirt. He is humming to himself. What do you want now? I've given you your pay. Why don't you go and get some sleep? You look awful. Maybe you're right. I'll see you later on. Yeah, look after yourself. Now what? You look terrible. Go home Ryan and get some sleep. Yeah, I'll try. MAN --- Man:Sat at the bar is a large man who is smoking a cigarette. He stares across the bar impassively and occasionally glances at the TV. He looks as if he's having a really bad time. The man takes a puff of his cigarette and asks you what's up. Mind if I sit next to you? Do whatcha like. I don't care. Thanks. What's on TV? Oh, it's a programme about that singer, David Crane. What about him? He's playing some concert or other tonight. He's just arrived in town. Where's he staying? At a hotel called the Regency. Hey! What is this anyway. Why all the questions? Oh, no reason. The Regency is that big place near the bridge isn't it? Er, yeah. Now why don't you shut up and leave me alone? Look pal, just stop annoying me will ya? Sorry I spoke. SLEPPING MAN ------------ Man:A man a little younger than yourself lies with his head firmly on the table. He's asleep and obviously drunk. His jacket sleeve is in a pool of beer and he snores quite loudly. The man lies in front of you snoring. Hey! Wake up, I need to talk to you. Zzzzzz..... Come on, wake up! I really need some help. Zzzzzz..... Oh forget it. Light:This purple neon lamp provides dim light for the stairwell leading into Sparky's bar. You can't use the neon light.
