Somer's Rock: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 02:43, July 5, 2016

Somer's Rock is a pub in Brockton Bay. It is owned by a deaf family that is unable to hear the discussions that go on around them. This serves as a workable business model.

Description

Somer's Rock is a nondescript pub in the middle of a long street full of hole in the wall businesses. There are iron bars on the windows while the outside paint was peeling and the rust from the bars had bled onto the gray-white paint below the windows.

The inside of Somer's Rock was described as "dim, dingy, and depressing". The wood floor is stained the same color as the counter while the curtains and tablecloths are dark green. The only "real color" or "brightness" is the yellow light cast by old light bulbs.

History

Following Bakuda's bombing spree, the Empire Eighty-Eight, Undersiders, Faultline’s Crew, and the Merchants met in Somer's Rock to talk about what they would do about the Azn Bad Boys.

+Somer's Rock
+The place was nondescript. A hole in the wall in the midst of a long street of hole in the wall businesses. Everything was run down. For every given store or restaurant you passed, you could only guess if the place was still open or not.
+The pub had a sign on it reading ‘Somer’s Rock’. There were iron bars on the windows and the curtains were drawn, but it would have been more unusual if that wasn’t the case. It was that kind of area. The paint on the outside was peeling, and the rust from the bars had bled onto the gray-white paint below the windows.
+As we stepped inside, it became clear that Somer’s Rock was one book that should be judged by its cover. It was dim, dingy and depressing. The wood floor was stained the same dark gray as the counter of the bar, the curtains and tablecloths were dark green, and the only real color or brightness, if you could call it that, was the yellow light cast by ancient, burnt lightbulbs.
+There were three people in Somer’s Rock when we arrived. One was a sullen looking twenty-something girl with brown hair and a slightly wrinkled server’s uniform, who glanced at us as we came in, but made no attempt to welcome us. There were two identical twins behind the bar in the far corner, probably her older brothers, busying themselves with washing glasses and studiously ignoring us. One of them was wearing a dress shirt and apron, looking the part of a bartender, while the other had a black t-shirt under a Hawaiian shirt. Besides the contrast in fashion, they were identical in height, haircut, features and expression.
