Sigh... Sigh after ****ing sigh serving these lunatic wannabes. Never grateful and never tip either, the arrogant bastards and to think I let them do their dirty little drugs and arms deals here too! Hmph!
Oh nearly forgot, my name is Shurokomi Horumoto, or Shuro as the people in these parts call me.
The small bar known as the Blood Rose sits hunched between apartment complexes on the mid-level of the Bruto Tribe Bureau station orbiting one of the many moons of the Rens solar system. What could be called an elegant sign of a dark red rose curled around a pool of blood serves as way of identifying the bar admist the hustle and bustle of this part of the station. All run by a single man known as Shuro to the locals, a good more or less honest person making his living as best he can in the times of war.
Look at those smug ass drunks trying to look inconspicuous... If a patrol were to come through here about now they'd probably reach their arrest quotas for the year! Pfah worthless dog humpers...
The inside of the bar is kept nearly spotless. About a dozen dark wooded tables, highly polished, dominate the lower floor of black marble. Crimson colored booths surround the main floor running along the walls from the bar ends to the doorway, deep and soft velvet lining making them very comfortable to sit in, most of the 'important wannabes' take them and act as if the dim lighting makes their so called 'secret' deals any less illegal than they already are. The bar, now that's a mother of a bar. Deep cherry oak wood, highly polished, and covered with a thin layer of clear poly-fibre glass, dominates the far wall from the entrance. Various beverage machines line the counter behind the high table and shelving filled with uncountable amounts of alcoholic bottles and glasses stand infront of a mirror-glass backing. The bartender Shuro mans and protects this part of the bar like nothing else with a well known and well used riot-modified shotgun and a pair of pistols inlaid with a single ruby each in the grips.
See there are those damned high-nosed Caldari bastards taking up the far booths and all of them too with their goofy ass looking bodyguards jacked on who knows what. At least the Gallenteans that come through here don't try and hide what they're doing, they just damn well do it on the main tables infront here; oh and they sometimes tip too which is like a small surprise every time they do ha!
One of these days I'm going to have to get a couple bouncers to toss people out of here, especially the lazy motherless dogs who try and get me to come to them to get their drinks... I mean what the hell is up with that?! They think that I'm going to walk all the way over there to take an order for one drink when they could get off their own asses and come get it themselves and oh man... when I do give the benefit of the doubt and they don't tip... oh what I'd give to knock a few around...
Traffic is pretty steady for the Blood Rose, mostly small booms of local station workers getting off their shifts and trying to wind down. The regulars sit at the bar itself or at one of the various tables on the lower main floor, smoking their cigarrettes or cigars and idling chattering away for awhile, while walking up to the bar and graciously ordering drinks and talking to the owner making his day somewhat better. Then there are the others who come here to do their shadowy, dirty work that one hears of being done in alleyways and dark, abandoned corridors. These are the one Shuro could do without, but they tend to buy all the really exotic expsenive drinks which more or less makes up for their arrogance.
Pah two Amarr Colgnacs and three Crazy Spices for the Caldari chums and straight Khum'kac for the Gallenteans... at least they have a pair or two ordering that stuff! That'll put some hair on your chest and in your ass to boot ha ha ha.

Oh Khan and his brothers are coming over to get their usual drinks, just straight beer; man they make life easy and I do like easy, means I have to work less bwaa ha ha
"Hey there Khan, getting the usual eh?" Shuro asks in his accented Brutor.
"Yeah the usual Shuro... Lots of suits trying to be all special eh?" Khan asks in reply waiting while Shuro pours the mugs of beer.
Shuro laughs sharply. "Oh yeah you know how they go, gotta be all spooky and shit, but with those goofy bodyguards it's hard to imagine what they'd be doing, I mean your kid could figure it out!"
"That's the truth sure enough. Thanks Shuro," Khan replies back chuckling to himself while man handling the four mugs of beer.
