Chapter 1: Prologue: Random Omniversal Bar

In a high-class bar with a warm golden ambiance, the owner of this fine establishment is busy restocking different alcohol labels on the display cases behind the bar counter. Since last night has seen a sudden flux in of high alcohol tolerance of customers, the bar owner is forced to refill her inventory earlier than expected. While doing that, the owner can't help but sport a smile as she remembers the party that was last night.

A few of her friends managed to break free from the fates that bonded them, so, they celebrated the occasion by visiting her bar. They were a rowdy bunch, fun to have around, and trusty enough to have them watch your back. They did end up getting wasted in the end so the bartended/owner was forced to send them home via teleportation. No doubt their other friends will be freaked out when they ended up home, dead drunk, in the middle of the night. Regardless, that's their can of worms to deal with, not hers.

Finishing placing the last bottle of Grey Goose onto the display, the bartender slides the glass panel shut before turning around to give one last wipe on the bar counter. Once she's done making sure the bar is ready to serve, the bartender snaps her fingers, seemingly doing nothing as a result, then she waits patiently by cleaning a glass cup. Moments later, the first guest of the day arrives.

With the ringing of the doorbell as it's pushed open, the person that steps in is a tall lady wearing provocative black and gold ballgown that showcases the valley between her shapely breasts. It's hard not to be drawn to the snowy valley that's formed by her breasts when there's a tattoo of a glowing red circle with eight-pointed tips adorning the location.

Flourishing her long pink hair that reaches her knees, the lady's ruby red eyes scan the bartender with a usual mischievous glint.

"Once again, it seems that I am early." Her enrapturing melodious voice, akin to that of a captivating siren, addressed the bartender.

Chuckling with a voice rivaling that of her opponent, the bartender gestures for the guest to take a seat, saying.

"The early bird gets the worm. It will be a surprise if you're the one that arrived late."

Smiling lightly at the bartender's words, the lady says as she takes on the offer, laying her violin case to the side.

"That's right, isn't it? Well, I do have to keep the reputation as your very first customer, after all."

Taking a closer look at the bartender, now busy making the pink-hair lady her usual drink, the lady must admit that the bartender is a mighty fine woman.

Standing at a height of 160 cm, the bartender is shorter than the lady's 170 cm, yet they both share an envious hourglass body that will no doubt cause even renowned models to blush in shame. Unlike the lady, the bartender has enchanting purple hair that fades into gold near the end of her bob cut, if you pay attention, you can even see the color of twinkling stars hiding among the purplish strands. Although the bartender right now is mixing with her eyes closed, she's not blind per se for it's just her habit, she has purple eyes with a golden glow that is no different than watching a spinning galaxy in the night sky. Every time the lady has a chance to witness that pair of purple orbs, she laments in envy for the bartender hides away such priceless treasures.

With a soft clink, a Manhattan is served on the counter, the lady watches in fascination as the amber liquid seems to shine lightly.

"Here you go, Shena, a high-class cocktail for a suitably high-class lady." The bartender said with an endearing smile as she leans down near the lady with her elbows resting on the counter.

The lady, Shena, lits up into a grin as she picks up and tastes the cocktail.

"As expected, deliciously made as always, Viola." Shena complimented the bartender, Viola.

"Thanks, I aim to please." Viola nods with a small smile as she rests her chin on her palm.

Starting the night with a light discussion, Viola asks.

"So, Shena, how's the day? I presume that there are much fewer people out and about hunting you or Carmen and Nequita after the reversal you pulled."

"That's right, after our most stunning performance, the entire world is up and about in utter incomprehension. Most now adopt a passive stance in regards to us as they, quite literally, have no idea how to even treat us. Though COFFIN company still seeks us out, if only to exchange friendly pointers with each other."

Snickering at that, Viola comments. "Friendly pointers mean real combats in this case."

Chuckling along, Shena says. "Yeah, but it's in the name of good fun now instead of aiming to kill each other like before." Stopping for a bit, Shena adds. "Seo Yoon has been missing you, you know. The girl is anxious to see you again."

With her face turning pensive, Viola responds with a shake of her head.

"She's not ready yet, not ready for the wider world that is the Omniverse. Unless she can further her Divinity, I will not allow her entry into the bar." Adorning a serious look, even with her eyes closed, Viola adds. "For being here means you also have to take up the jobs on the mission panel and not all of them are fun and games."

Hearing up to here, Shena sighs, commenting. "You know, you worry about her too much. The girl is mature enough to know what she's getting into, she's not the kid you used to raise anymore."

Opening one eye to make a pointed look at Shena, causing the pink-hair lady to slightly flush, Viola says. "In my eyes, she's still the same mischievous child that loves to play pranks. Can you blame me for worrying over her?"

Though captivated by Viola's eye, Shena still raises her hands in mock surrender.

"Fine, fine! I will let the matter rest. Though I don't think you will be stopping me or any of us in bringing her up to snuff. It's weird that we're here right now without her presence."

Shrugging, Viola agrees with a smile. "You do you, if Seo Yoon can get stronger with you lot around then I don't see why not."

As if remembering something, Viola claps her hands.

"All right! Yahweh asked me to give you this." Snapping her fingers, Viola materialized a bow, the one used in conjunction with the violin, not the archery bow. "She said that it's the payment from the previous job, it should fit your current power level better than the one you snapped before."

Shena picks the bow up, testing its tension and handling. On close inspection, the bow really fits her perfectly, much better than the replacement she has come to pick up earlier before coming here. Chuckling wrily, Shena says.

"Pass Yahweh my thanks..."

[You're welcome!] A cheery voice interjects from all corners of the bar before fading away as the sound of a mechanical keyboard being typed on replaces it. This cause both Viola and Shena to chuckle as they both know Yahweh just responded even though she's still busy working.

"Anyway, Yahweh having actual time to give us a shoutout aside if you guys keep spoiling me like this, how can I ever lie without you all?" Shena asked in a mock complaint. She knows just how precious the bow she just received is and that's coming from a person who's holding a Divinity over Music.

To say that when pairs up with her violin, the bow will allow her to kill even Gods with her performance will be an understatement.

Viola, in response, shrugs with a smile. "The best reward to the most suitable person for it. You've been ridding enough bugs in the system to warrant such a reward. Accept it with grace, won't you?"

Sighing with a wry smile, Shena relents. "Fine, I will have you know I will be inviting you to a recital, sooner or later. Better keep your schedule open for that."

Showing an anticipated smile, Viola gives Shena a thumbs up. "Won't miss it even if it's the end of the world."

They both share a laugh before Viola goes on to say.

"Sadly, I have to go just for a bit. Yahweh just sent me a mission and seeing that you've just returned from yours, I will be handling this one personally."

Though a bit surprised, Shena still nods while twirling her Manhattan.

"I see. Well, if you need any help, you know where to find me, or well, anyone that's affiliated with the Random Omniversal Bar... Still can't believe you stick that cheesy name on your establishment, by the way." Shena grimaced at the last part, earning a chuckle from Viola.

"Well, it does sound intriguing, is it not? Anyway, time for me to go. Ciao!"

The bartender waves before fading away into specks of starlight. Shena can only shake her head in exasperation at her antic, knowing fully that she is in love with a problematic character.

"Though I'm not regretting it one bit." She commented while showing a charming smile, one that will entrance both men and women alike.

Though if they did see it, Shena will have no choice but to wipe their memory... Violently.
