 ==== Staged Read-Alouds (Progressive Descriptions) ====
-| **Trigger / Timing** | **Read-Aloud or Short Narrative Insert** |
+| **Trigger / Timing** | **Read-Aloud Cue** |
-| **PCs move further inside / take seats** | The bouncer at the curtain gives you a slow, measuring nod. Across the room, another bouncer calms a loud miner with a firm hand on the shoulder. |
+| **PCs move further inside / take seats** | The geothermal floor warms your boots as laughter ripples from a nearby table. |
-| **If PCs examine Gloria’s pedestal or photos** | A patron leans closer, breath thick with alcohol: “Poor girl. Loyal ’til the end. They killed her for being loved.” The room dips into a brief, respectful silence. |
+| **If PCs examine Gloria’s pedestal or photos** | Candlelight dances over Gloria’s glass eyes; a respectful hush settles briefly around her shrine. |
-| **If PCs approach the bar** | Trixi slams down a round for a trio of pioneers. She spots you: “New faces. Don’t worry — Gloria bites only the rude.” |
+| **If PCs approach the bar** | Trixi wipes a glass with a practiced flick, sizing you up with a knowing grin. |
-| **If PCs order drinks at the bar** | A man with a bandaged head and a swollen black eye stands by the Guarding Trooper notice board, staring hard at the sketch of the Old Man Without a Name. His patched field jacket hangs loose. He mutters: “Didn’t belong in that cell…” |
+| **If PCs order drinks** | The Butler Bot glides in smoothly, placing cups with perfect mechanical elegance. |
-| **If PCs watch him longer** | He shifts uneasily, rubbing his bandaged head. “Strangest damn thing I ever saw…” |
+| **If PCs notice Vincent** | Vincent stands rigid before the Trooper notice board, shoulders tense, eyes fixed on the sketch of the old man. |
-| **If PCs approach Vincent Porongo (light conversation)** | “Spent 24 hours in Cell 2… Red Wheel brawl. Old guy was in Cell 1 — never saw him. But at 17:00…” He trails off, pale. “Circle Walk. That’s when I saw him.” |
+| **If PCs watch Mira move through the room** | Mira drifts between tables, offering soft smiles and brief touches on shoulders — a quiet anchor in the noise. |
-| **If PCs press for details** | “He shuffled like dust. Wouldn’t look at me. Just whispered: ‘No talk to others… no name… no confession.’ Like a broken prayer.” |
+| **If PCs linger long enough** | A miner’s off-key song blends with the hum of geothermal pipes, filling the saloon with a gentle, rebellious warmth. |
-| **If PCs offer him a drink or show empathy** | His shoulders drop. “He was scared. Of us. And the Troopers were scared of him. Like we’re from two different worlds that shouldn’t touch.” |
-| **If PCs sit at a table (Beta Age)** | Tamara Borg slides in beside them, perfume thick in the air. “Evening, sweethearts. Looking lonely.” Her grin is bold, practiced. |
-| **If PCs insult or rudely brush off Tamara** | She stiffens, snaps back, and storms off. A nearby miner mutters: “Bad luck picking a fight with a dancer.” |
-| **If PCs watch Mira interact with patrons** | She hugs an old miner, refuses a drink with a gentle smile, radiating quiet resilience. |
-| **If PCs talk to Mira (first-time meeting)** | She offers a warm but cautious smile. “Hope I didn’t hurt your ears. Welcome to Gloria’s.” |
-| **If PCs know Mira (caravan travel) and approach** | Her eyes light up. “You made it! Sit with me later — I saved a spot.” A genuine warmth cuts through the noise. |
-| **If PCs linger and observe Mira alone** | Mira sits at a corner table, thumb brushing an old scar on her arm. She catches your gaze and gives a small, tired smile — equal parts invitation and warning. |
