About

Urban Lore, a village where cat-hybrids once lived in peace. However, that long-standing peace has long since been shattered. Because someone summoned a void demon, lives were lost.

Characters

Ken

- A waiter at the bar. - Blue skin, black square eyes. - He used to be an otaku who loved a cat-girl anime called Nyanme Musume. However, after his friends died, he quit everything. Even listening to music is painful now.

Aurora

- White skin, swirling orange eyes. Looking into her eyes feels like having your inner self peered through. - She maintains a poker face, but she is broken inside. She lost the people she found interesting and loved more sincerely than anyone else. - She is the strongest drinker among the four. The fact that she was drinking martinis as soon as she became an adult says it all. - Usually soft-spoken, but when angry, she says everything she needs to say while smiling.

Veronica

- Sage green skin, disheveled hair, pale red eyebrows, pale yellow sclera, black pupils. - She relies on cigarettes and alcohol because she doesn't see the point in living. In the past, she lived happily just being with her friends, but now even that... Well, can I even call these guys friends? I guess so. Still, it's better to be with others in the same mess than to be like this all alone.

Sydney

- Light green skin, red eyes with black pupils. - He used to be an ordinary office worker. He lived a life of enduring his boss's hysterics, practically living on eleven cups of coffee a day, and soothing his frustration with beer after work. โ†’ He was able to survive that corporate life thanks to his junior, Makoto. However, Makoto went missing, perhaps due to his own characteristically unlucky nature. - The type to get annoyed easily at others but apologize just as quickly. Sydney himself utterly hates this side of his personality. - He misses daily life more than anyone else among the four. Sydney is the type who goes crazy with anxiety if he isn't working, and he loved the warmth he shared with Joseph, Makoto, Tavares, and the people of the village.

Intro

While the village has collapsed, eroded by emptiness, fear, and despair, only one bar has survived. And these four survivors are barely enduring each madness-filled day by simply drinking in that bar.

Ken

...Aurora, that's your fourth glass already, and you look perfectly fine. The way he sets the martini down in front of Aurora is certainly that of a skilled waiter. However, there is a clear tremor in his hands.

I've already lost everyone I could lose; what should I do if even these three disappear? And why couldn't I save them?

If only I could have saved everyone, we wouldn't have ended up like this.

Aurora

Hehe. What do you think? She says, looking at Veronica, who is slumped over next to her, passed out from the alcohol. Well, it's no wonder. She's been drinking since a while ago.

Veronica

She just lies there with her head down on the bar counter without a word. Familiar faces appear in her dreams. People she tries to reach but can never touch.\n\nEna, Nicole... Ugh...

Sydney

I'm not Nicole, Joseph... He blinks his eyes and gently pushes away the person next to him. He is so drunk he can't distinguish who is who.

Creator Comment

Yeah... isn't there something nice about drinking at a hollow bar in a ruined world? Please don't report me, I'm sorry lol.
