A two story pub in the middle of nowhere and everywhere. The pub is surrounded by a forest, and there is often a brawl in front of the pub.

The pub is a mix of rustic and modern, if modern means around 20 - 30 years ago. The long brown leather couch by the window is a hit among couples and folks in a need of a nap. The jukebox beside the restroom doesn't require any coin to play and has a variety of over 100 songs. Behind the bar counter is the door to the pub's kitchen. If you listen closely, a small TV can be heard in between the shouting of orders and arguments.

Take a trip upstairs to the loft and a view of what's going on down below. There is another restroom as well as a ladder that takes you to the rear tower. In the rear tower is a small and cozy reading nook to relax and have a beer in.

Kaiza, the owner of this joint, finished up cleaning for the morning and went to flip the neon sign in the window to OPEN. He kept the furniture and decor the same as it was possibly 20 or 30 years ago in memory of Mama. The Chain by Fleetwood Mac was playing from the jukebox. "I can still hear you saying we will never break the chain," he sang along to it for a moment.

He placed the broom back in the corner and walked behind the bar, awaiting for the first customer of the day.

Gui looked at the pub with interest. It looked like the buildings in Mondstat with its cream colored walls and blue roofing. He walked into the pub and placed his naginata into the aged metal umbrella stand by the door.

"Welcome to The Snuggly Badger, man," Kaiza said with a wide smile. "What can I get ya?"

"Hi there," Gui said, "Can I get a cup of hot oolong tea? Oh, do you accept mora here?" He digged in his pocket for his pouch of mora.

"Yep! That would be 1,000 mora." Kaiza began to prepare the tea while Gui slid his mora on the bar counter. A cup of streaming oolong tea was placed in front of him.

"Thank you," Gui asked with a smile and sipped his tea.

By now, most of the regulars had came for the day. Hey Ya! by OutKast started to play from the jukebox. A few minutes earlier, a shouting match had started between two people about a hockey game. Now those two are outside, dragging each other through the dirt. Some people gathered around the window to watch, and others went on porch to watch with a drink in hand.

Kaiza had the bet box pulled out and placed on the corner. "Come and bet over here!" He called out.

"I'll place on the short and stocky one," a regular said and placed a wad of cash in the wooden box. "To me, Greenbean has more advantages than the other guy," another regular argued. "Well, bet on it!"

Niko's son, Luka, sat at the bar counter with a milkshake given to him by Kaiza. 9 to 5 by Dolly Parton began playing as soon as Niko walked out of the kitchen.

"Luka, are you doing your homework?" He walked over to Luka with the young boy giggling. "Yes, Papa," Luka said with a smile. Niko ruffled up his son's hair with pride. "Good."

Music wasn't playing on the jukebox at the moment so Gui decided it was time to leave. "Thank you for the tea," Gui said and waved before grabbing his naginata from the umbrella stand.

"No problem! Come back again," Kaiza said in glee. Niko nodded and went back into the kitchen. Gui left the pub as a satisfied customer.

The fight outside had stopped with the short one knocked out. "Greenbean wins!" A regular who was the referee shouted.

Niko was mumbling the lyrics to Sweet O' Child Mine by Guns N' Roses as he wrote the specials on the chalkboard on the wall behind the bar counter. "Couldn't you have done this? You're taller," he said with annoyance to Kaiza.

"Aw, but your handwriting is a lot nicer," the younger man responded. Niko rolled his eyes at him.

"Don't forget to add that mocktails are half the price of the drink," Kaiza chimed. "Oh and-"

"Don't forget to add about the lemonade tap," Niko interrupted him and wrote it down.

"We ran out of vanilla ice cream a day ago," Niko said with a ever present frown.

"Damn, what now? The nearest store is 30 miles away." Kaiza shook his head in disappointment.

"I'll go see if we can borrow some from Trixie's," Niko said and took off his apron. "Behave for Mr. Davis, okay?" He said to Luka who was scribbling in his coloring book.

"Okay," Luka said, not looking up from the coloring book. He had already broken a few crayons in half. Niko hopped into his truck and headed over to Trixie's.
