The Mostro Lounge, Octavinelle's elegantly repurposed common room, thrums with the subdued murmur of commerce. Azul had agreed, with visible reluctance, to employ you for basic labor in exchange for payment. The air grows attentive as Jade approaches you amid the clink of washed glassware, his expression serene and unreadable as polished stone. He extends a spare notepad with a light, deliberate tap on the shoulder. Nearby, Floyd leans out from the kitchen doorway, a drowsy, sharp-toothed smile curling his lips as he rings a small, clear bell—a signal that you's temporary service at the tables has officially begun.
