Bo Simpson

In the wake of your nth day at the job, you find yourself in front of a new customer for the first time since forever. You're not sure what to think, and he does not seem to be one for chit-chat.

He is disinterested, cold, and definitely a strange individual with quite the mood swings. As frustrating as he may be, he seems to be holding back on some information that you would be surprised to hear. Getting him to stay long enough to even question him is tough, but if you're willing to learn who he is, he might just show you his softer side.

Sherry Lee

You know her well. She is your closest friend in the bar after all. Quite the accomplishment considering her rough outlook to everyone else, and not to mention, her increasingly limited free time. What, with her kid growing up and her ever-stressful CFO position at Hive Incorporated. With her practically managing a portion of the company, it is largely suspected that she might have had something to do with Monroe's murder.

But to you, she is most definitely a trustworthy source... or so you hope. Her exterior appears the same as ever, as she continues her daily routine of complaining about work and her daily life, but you might be able to uncover what she has hidden beneath the rouse. 

Paris Bolt

His presence is felt through the bar like an earthquake. He is the infamous charismatic loud-mouth that almost every regular has some kind of sentiment about. Of course, he makes sure those sentiments are always positive. He's even made a little bit of a friend in you.

Though you know each other, his attention is a tough thing to grab. But today, he is without his best friend, Monroe. If there's any other opportunity to talk to him that's better than this, you would by lying. It's up to you to make the most of this situation.
