Nova entered the tavern, the smell of beer and smoke entering his lungs. He passed multiple different people before sitting down on the chair in front of the bar. An older man walked over to him, his eyes lit with recognition. "ah, nova! good to see you again. lemme guess, the usual?" Nova smiled and set down 10 gold for the man. The man smiled and gave a hearty laugh as he grabbed a glass and started pouring it with rather weak alcohol. Nova wasn't that much of a drinker. besides, the alcohol might put his powers past its limits, and he would lose control. As the man gave him his drink, Nova turned and noticed a rather handsome young man sitting down on a nearby table. however, this one felt....different. Drinking the last of his alcohol, he set down his cup and walked over to the man. however, before he could do that, he was stopped by a drunken man, who looked rather ticked.
"h-hey youuu," the man said, pointing his stubby finger towards his direction. "d-d-on't think i forgot about what you did last week, punk." Nova stared back with a blank expression. the man had mistaken him for someone else, again. the drunken man went on "cauuuse i didn't. and now..now i'm gonna make youu pay!" the man pulled out his sword and started to attack him. In reflex, Nova quickly pulled out his pistol and pointed it against his forehead. He glared back at the man, whose friends had pulled out their various weapons and glared back at him. so this is going to be one of those days, huh, nova thought as the tavern went silent.
