Chapter 16 – Stardew

That evening, Anise dragged Isla out to the city for a wander, dressed in something casual; a short skirt each, loose tops befitting the humid June temperatures, and boots for Anise, trainers for Isla. Even when dressed up, Isla tended towards comfy sports gear.

Lisa had been held up with some last minute work, so she and Mira had arranged to come along a little later, leaving the new girls to enjoy the busy evening streets by themselves. As they sauntered about taking in the sights and sounds, Anise picked up a variety of interesting scents—fast food, perfumes, alcohol—and decided that homing in on these would be a good plan.

Several street vendors plied their trade, selling a variety of foods still popular on Earth; ramen, curry, fish and chips, pizza, burgers. Anise had to exercise every last piece of her willpower to refrain from sampling absolutely every single dish they came across. They’d already eaten and they had the next four years to sample the delights of this new and exciting world, so she restrained her impulses for now.

“Hell of an atmosphere at night,” Isla said. They rounded a corner and sauntered along a new street, again filled with the bustling busyness of business.

“Funny how it’s pretty similar to Mars, but also feels completely different,” Anise said.

“I guess because”—Isla spread her arms wide, staring up at the star-filled heavens—“all that sky.”

“Are we going to try and make time on the weekend? It’s only a couple of days away now.”

“Maybe next weekend? Let’s get properly settled in before we start sightseeing. Ah… this is it.” Anise stopped outside a doorway, open to reveal a set of stairs going down below ground to the left. Above the door, a sign spelled out ‘Stardew’ in glowing orange letters.

“It’s underground?” Isla said, peering down into the depths.

“Apparently. Let’s go.”

They descended, heading right through another doorway at the bottom. Entering the bar, they stopped to take a brief look around. Dim but not dingy, there was an air of refinement, with cool blue and warm orange lights providing a pleasant contrast of colours. In the far corner stood a granite-topped bar.

Behind this, shelves with row after row of polished and neatly arranged glasses. And between them a twenty-something female bartender, polishing a glass and wearing a snazzy black and white outfit, the sort of thing a butler and a magpie might produce as offspring.

Isla noticed something interesting. “Check that girl’s hair out!”

She pointed towards the bar, where a tall girl with vivid blue-white hair—almost ice-like—and amber eyes sat on a stool. Bathed in warm white light from the spots directly above, she had a
