"I see. Well, I'm sure there will still be a market for the fresh stuff." He tilts his head. "You know, there are a lot of controlled foods out there, and quite a few can rival the syrup of Stroopville. I can get you some, if you're interested."
'I can't deny that I'm interested. And not from a purely culinary perspective, but to better understand these hot commodities'
"Three hundred gold will get you a nice New Moon Eel from a standard vendor... But we'll ship it to you alive for 100. That sound like a good deal?" He folds his paws in front of him.
'Sounds like a good deal. Why they called that, they from a moon or something?'

'Sounds like a good deal. Why they called that, they from a moon or something?'
"Because the poison only takes effect at a specific time each month. And when it does, anywhere infused with the toxin rots black as the new moon."

'How very horrible. I'm sure there's nobody who we'd hope would suffer such a fate'. He does not sound entirely sincere
The sushi does not resist, in fact, it goes down remarkably easily for something that is able to move. 'You ever heard of too much of a good thing?'
“All the time. It’s what happened to me with Syrup.” *gtg*
*backkkk*
'Same. Got sick from it, couldn't mine anymore, but luckily for me this job here opened up. So yeah, I don't blame you'
“You worked in the mines?”
'Yeah, back in the day, assembling heavy machinery. Can't do that once your fingers drop off'
He looks down at the barkeep’s hands.
The barkeep's hands have several wooden fingers
“Ah. I’m down there carving up it’s flesh 9 hours a day. Hence the apron.”
'They don't make you use a knife, do they?'
“Axe.”
'You'd have though technology would have improved since then. They got drilling rigs for the syrup, I'd have assumed there'd be excavators or something for the flesh. Then again, don't want to wake up the Leviathan'
“It’s dangerous enough tapping into the veins for Syrup. They just want us to carve four times our body weight an hour. Or whatever the next crazy ‘guideline’ is. What about you, my friend?” He asks, nudging the man in the suit next to him

Pronouns: Any/All
About Me: Godless monster in human form bent on extending their natural life to unnatural extremes /general of the goose horde /holder of the evil storyteller badge of no honor /king of madness /The FBI/ The Archmage of I CAST...!
A skinny dragonborn walks into the Sweet Tooth, one with white and green scales and gold-tipped horns. They've got big, round glasses, and they wear a white apron, gloves, and a surgical mask all made of the same soft fabric. The rest of their clothes are exceedingly normal, with a red polo shirt and beige slacks. They carry a bag of colding in one hand, and are reading from a large book held in the other. They hum to themselves as they sit down at a table, running a gloved finger along the text on the page.
'Good book you got there?' Zeke is sat at the bar nearby
"Oh, yes," comes the reply. "It's a spellbook I took for myself. It has a variety of spells that I'd never even considered that a wizard such as myself can cast, but these texts explain how to do it quite easily. Goodberry, Giant Insect, Heat Metal, mostly spells wielded by druids." They turn the arcane libram to Zeke, showing the nearly incomprehensible shorthand and magical jargon. "It's also a cookbook, which makes my job a lot easier. I wish I had a survival guide of the planes, though. But beggars can't be choosers, ha ha!"
They speak rather quickly, but confidently. The kind of authority that makes you feel like you're talking to an expert, even if the speaker has no idea what they're talking about.

'A cookbook? You here for the restaurant scene, then?'

They speak rather quickly, but confidently. The kind of authority that makes you feel like you're talking to an expert, even if the speaker has no idea what they're talking about.
'A cookbook? You here for the restaurant scene, then?'
"In a sense, yes!" They giggle excitedly. "You see, I'm a chef myself, but I'm not content to stick with tried-and-true ingredients. And, as it turns out... people don't like that. I've been told that my food is landfill not even fit for dogs, but those people just don't understand what they're looking at. I don't blame them, but I can't say I'm not disappointed. Anyway, back to the topic at hand, there are a lot of creatures that feed on the flesh and syrup of Leviathan. An entire ecosystem, actually. I heard a drill went down recently, and that's what drew me in. I've been hunting these beasts with poison, spell, and knife, and I think I might have some ideas for my next dish."

'Sounds interesting. Like, real experimental cuisine. Not for everyone, but it'll have it's audience I'm sure. Some folks will eat anything as long as it's weird. Heard of a bunch of guys who cultivated their own flesh in a vat to eat. So I'm sure your cooking can't be that bad'

They clap and stand up, gesturing wildly as they talk. "See, you get it! The big issue is that people have gotten used to 'pleasant' presentation. The stuff I make is more like what they do with cakes around Halloween, but it's real. I like my presentation clear, brutal, and emotional. I don't let things like 'plating' and 'garnishes' get me down. It puts people off to see, say, a giant cockroach split open on a platter, all its juicy, delectable, steaming insides spilled out onto a bed of uncanny vegetation, but imagine how they felt about lobster when they first discovered it! And what about turtles? Those things look like monsters if you don't know what they are!" They take a deep breath. "I've studied toxins and diseases, so I assure you that what I make is perfectly safe. You believe me, don't you?"

"Exactly! A group of people who can't leave and have very limited options! Just like where I grew up!" They reach into their bag, then stop and hold up their hands. "I need to calm down... Pulling out a fresh kill in a busy tavern... not a good move. Plus, I don't know if that stench is a toxin of some sort or just a noisome defense to deter predators. Either way, filling the place with it seems a poor move if I wish to make friends."

'The smell might be offputting, maybe you could mask it somehow? People might eat stuff that looks crazy, but if it smells off, no self-respecting customer is going to bother'
