Divine Juices

A great, tar-smelling old hall in Watery Eyes, that boasts of catering for all a person's needs: food, alcohol, gambling, socialising, massages, sex... Visits here could take as little as 30 mins if tracking a bounty, or over 9 hours if you want to avail yourself of everything that's on offer.

Opening Hours

Divine Juices never closes.

Carousing

As revealed by pressing the "Start Session" button, customers can engage in the following activities at Divine Juices:

• Drink (3 hours*, $4*)
• Buy Drinks for everyone (3 hours*, $50)
• Eat food (1 hour, $5)
• Socialize (+1 hour)
• Gamble ($50, +3 hours)
• Bet on fight ($50) (WIP)

* Times are cumulative, except that if Drinking AND Buying Drinks, this takes 3 hours not 6. And if Buying Drinks, you are not charged the extra $4 if you also select "Drink".

You can have one Carousing session here per day, consisting of a selection of the above. You can drink alone with your followers (3 hours), or buy drinks for everyone at the bar (3 hrs), or do both at the same time ($50 and 3 hrs, not $54 and 6 hrs), or have a meal (1 hr), or a meal and drinks (4 hrs). You can also optionally gamble (3 hrs), and/or socialise with the clientele and staff (1 hr) - though you can only do these latter if you first buy drinks or a meal. So Carousing at Divine Juices will take from 1 to 8 hours depending on your choices.

Each element you add in to your Carousing can add Socialization points, though there are usually skill rolls required to gain these, so you may fail. the more elements you add, the more Socialization points you may gain.

Drinking and eating here can also gain you Influence points - though there are skill rolls involved, so you may fail. You may even lose influence, by making a faux pas. Drinking alone, or just eating a meal, offer the lowest possible gains, and higher potential losses as you may come across as unfriendly or stingy. Buying drinks for the whole bar has a decent chance of gaining you substantial Influence (usually +15).

Drinking here will also get you drunk, which will affect you in combat and maybe other ways.

Gambling here is low stakes; done mostly as a social activity. So you won't lose much (your $50 stake, max.), but won't gain much either - $150 maximum. And it's unchallenging enough that it has no chance of increasing your Gambling skill. Winning will gain you +3 Socializing points; losing will gain you none. Your winning chance, and the amount of your cash winnings, are boosted by your Gambling skill, +10 if you have Intelligence 60+, +10 if you have Science skill 60+, and +2 if your day got off to a Good Start.

Rumors & Jobs

There are rumors and jobs here which are unlocked by your Socializing score (gained by Carousing here; see above) reaching certain thresholds:

• Strange-Looking Mercenary (30)
• A Breath From The Past (150)
• Cybernetic Freebooters (300)

Private Session

After asking one of the waiters for a warm body to satisfy yourself with, a limping, old lady bolts out from the shadows and pull you into a corridor. The medievalesque hallway ends in a larger room with three doors that lead to separate chambers. She tells you which two or three of the following girls are available at the moment:

• Hope Laurel ($75)
• Leia Serpens ($100)
• Janice Parlor ($35)
• Elin Jonsson ($170)
• Ana Lavigne ($75)

You can avail yourself of these girls' massages as often as you want, which can restore Stamina points, and gain or lose you Health Points. You can also have sex with them, but only once per day. You can also attempt relaxing chats with the girls - which may gain you Stamina if you succeed a Charisma roll, or lose you some if you fail. Hiring the girls will gain you 2 or 3 Socialization points each time also.

Busty Hope Laurel can give you a massage restoring 8 Stamina and 5 Health Points (30 mins) any number of times per day. You can also socialize with her, which takes no time on a fail or 30 mins on a success, which will gain you an extra 3 Socialization points. And once a day, unless you've already had similar with Elin Jonsson, Hope can either have sex with you (30 mins) or give you a quick blowjob (30 mins).

The dominatrix Elin Jonsson can give you a very physical massage (30 mins) restoring +5 Stamina but at the cost of -2 Health Points, any number of times per day. You can also socialize with her, which takes no time, and she has an interesting anecdote to share if you succeed in charming her. And once a day, unless you've already had similar with Hope Laurel, Elin can either dominate you (36 mins) or give you a quick blowjob (0 mins).

Ask about Bounties

As at other such establishments in Ikaanos and beyond, using the lubrication of alcohol you can discretely ask amongst the staff and clientele here for leads regarding the location of bounties or other matters you you might be investigating, leveraging your Influence to do so and/or paying bribes ($150). This will generally only add another 30 minutes to the duration of your visit here.
