A Pub

Hey, it's Future Dog again,

I've been here for a few hours now and I've found my way into a pub. Of course, I had to walk around town practically blind due to the intense sun that was on a mission to burn my retinas out. Sometimes I wonder if I'm even on the same planet anymore. Once inside the safety of the pub I started to ask some questions, but people only shouted gibberish back into my face. It was very upsetting at first until I remembered the utility belt Larry equipped me with before I left. After some scavenging, I found an instant translator. I popped part of that sucker into my ear and the other part under my tongue and, like magic, the gibberish slowly melted away, giving way to the sweet sound of my language. Barriers were crossed and communication was had.

My first order of business was to order a fine brew. I was served a colossus mug filled with a foamy beverage. My eyes grew twice their size and a monsoon of drool erupted from my mouth. I thought I may have died instead of time travelling and gone to heaven, but this clearly was not the case. I downed the drink and sat on the finely carved wooden stool in awe of what my taste buds have just experienced. If this was what it takes to save the past, I can do this all day. I ordered another, and soon started to join in with the song and dance of my company. Our voices erupted with joy and everyone had a grin the size of a watermelon on their face. Caught up in having fun at once, I completely forgot to question anyone about a certain Gutenbird or any strange going ons. Larry may be upset with me, but he's in the future! This will all seem like an instant for him, so I'm going to take my time and enjoy myself. I made a friend with a Johannes and I'm spending the night at his house. I will update this quest later, hopefully I will have a bit more information.
