《The Bartender at the End of the Universe》Ch 272: Settling in Yet Again

Harold was a little late, but introductions were made. Names were exchanged, but not much else. Whenever they started to explain something, Azrail would trail off on some tangent before someone interrupted him. Like a wheel that would spin, but never actually went anywhere.
"No, seriously." Og'drimun argued.
"I'm telling you, that's the way it happened." Abraham snorted derisively.
The demon sat next to the holy warrior. Two mugs of alcohol sat at their sides.
"But he's never said a word!" The demon continued.
"If you'd just listen," Abraham snapped. "You'd know that he did say something. All prim and proper too."
Og'drimun shook his head. "You must've imagined it. Guy wouldn't even move if it wasn't to slice something in half."
"Oh yeah, he did that too," Abraham nodded with a smirk. "Guy really knew how to get the blood spilling."
"Heh, you should see me in my prime," Og'drimun smirked. "Now that's real power. I could barely be contained when I let out a sliver of it around here."
"Oh yeah?" Abraham mused. "You could show me now."
"Hah! Good one." Og'drimun snorted. "You definitely don't want that."
"Oh, but I really do." Abraham grinned maliciously. "Unless you're scared?"
Abraham grabbed his mug with a quick swing of his arm, and quickly downed the whole thing in one quick swig.
"I'm not scared!" Og'drimun protested. "I mean, as if I could be scared. I'm so powerful after all. It's just...uh...it's just...a hassle! Yeah, it's such a hassle really, not worth it at all. I'd have to convince Narissa too, and it'd be a whole thing."
"Uh huh." Abraham said.
"Seriously, you'll just have to take my word on how awesome I was, and how powerful I really am." The demon continued.

"They're staying there, right?" Ted asked.
Narissa raised an eyebrow at Ted. "That's what you're worried about? Not how this place is suddenly back and better than ever?"
"I mean," Ted shrugged. "I figure I'd focus my priorities. Making sure they're on the road to recovery feels more important than figuring our what happened."
"And do you actually trust these new guys?" Narissa asked.
Ted wasn't sure why she would ask that. "Of course I do." He said.
I mean, he had nothing to go off of but their word. So why not? What would really be different than how things were with the others? Although, he did want to try and get communal dinners going with then ro help them ease into things.
Narissa shook her head. "Your naivete can really be frustrating at times." Then, she reached over and ruffled his hair. "But I guess at least it suits you."
"Hah, yeah yeah." Ted sighed as he backed away from her reach. "Oh! That reminded me. I should get to work on some kind of alcohol. They got into the stores, and we probably have little to none left."
Narissa nodded. "I can't say I'd be opposed to that. As long as you could see fit to start with some fruity rum?"
Ted smiled. "That's a great idea! As long as I can find something fruity. A nice safe option everyone could enjoy."
"Oh sure. Everyone." Narissa nodded. "Well, I suppose I should assess the damage and claim my room yet again."
She placed a gloved hand on the stair's railing. "This place it feels almost the same as before, and yet completely different."
"Well, maybe we should think of another nand other than the oasis?" Ted suggested.
Narissa started to walk up the stairs. "Whatever you prefer. I'm not overly committed one way or another dear."
Ted silently waved to her before he turned snd walked towards the kitchen. Now, that was the place he really needed to check out.

Jingyi Bo is in Fates Parallel (An Irreverent Fanfiction)
Fates Parallel is a gripping cultivation story, following the adventures of a half-spirit girl with nothing as she grows both as a cultivator and as a person after arriving at the Grand Academy of Spiritual, Martial and Arcane Arts. It features fleshed-out, believable characters, wonderful world-building that informs the course of the plot, and girls who hold hands. Fates Parallel is a very good story, and you should read it! Jingyi Bo is in Fates Parallel is a somewhat tongue-in-cheek look at this same world from a different angle, following a totally regular girl who brings bad luck with her wherever she goes. It features shallow, joke-name characters, a focus on the least interesting parts of a fantastic world, and girls who hold hands (potentially). Jingyi Bo is in Fates Parallel is an amazingly hilarious (so says me) fanfiction and you should read it! (This is a Totally Author Approved Spin-Off (Fanfiction) for Fates Parallel, which you can find in a number of places including here on RoyalRoad! Please do read it!)

How could the monsters resist the chance for revenge? To take back what is rightfully theirs?

Clues head to dead ends and pursuing the one important lead they have might mean death.
