[i]“…Being nostalgic for a world that's gone and living in a world that's ashes and rubble is what is. We build a new world over the devastation of the old."[/i]

Deciding he'd had enough downer talk, he went back around the counter and picked up the coffee cup. “Ma'am, you look like you need a pick me up. $5 and a hot cup of coffee is yours. Adam turned to the metal coffee maker and hit the pour switch and, much to his surprise, liquid came out. Instead of hot coffee, a cool mixture of disgusting coffee sludge and rust came out. Adam tried to keep a straight face until he took it to the counter. "Here you are, our special blend. A house secret and it's all yours for only $5. I'd call that a steal!" His lips curled inward until he finally snorted and broke out into laughter.

Lorelei spun around on her bar stool. She took the coffee mug with phony glee and looked down at the disgusting contents. “My apologies sir, I am but a poor girl. I don’t even have a penny to my name.” She set down the mug and bit her lip. “Lorelei Jones, [i]-Grave Robber-[/i]. I like it.” She shrugged and wiped a bit of dust off the counter. 

At that, she knocked the coffee mug off the counter, spilling its contents onto the rubble-encrusted floor and breaking the ceramic. “I can’t help but be sentimental as I pick apart all these sad bones.” She sighed. “I’ve been a scavenger for almost decade, and I can’t level with your vision. Perhaps my upbringing has simply poisoned my perception.” She shrugged. “Although perhaps it’s a poison I’ve become addicted to. If not to marvel over what was left behind, what’s the point of moving forward? I don’t, strictly speaking, desire a family or a stable source of income. Only the fleeting happiness one can find in this world.”

Lorelei stood up from her seat and trudged over toward the door, looking out upon the dusty boulevard. “If it isn’t locked up tight, this place will be a treasure trove of all things nostalgic and scavenge-worthy.” She pointed out the door. “Lead the way.”
