"It's 106 kilometers to Kamihama. We've got a tank full o' gas, half a spent grief seed, it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses."
"Hit it."
A nightclub along Sakae Street in Kamihama South's Sakae Ward, which caters exclusively to Wishmakers. Jolly Joliet has quickly made its name since it arrived in Kamihama City a few months ago. Serving great snacks, fun drinks like Morning Rescue, and playing Soul and Blues music to entertain its guests, it provides and enforces neutral ground where any and all Wishmakers can have a good time and drown their grief in merriment.
Because of Jolly Joliet's policy on keeping a Neutral Stance, the Companions have the KMU's Security Committee keep it on a permanent watchlist, in case its people start getting too friendly with the Wings of Magius. But so far, its staff have been fair and impartial, strictly enforcing their policies and preventing fights or underhanded deals from brewing between KMU and WoM members.
Jolly Joliet is owned and run by a pair of sibling Adjusters called the “Bluse Sisters”. The sisters hail from Akihabara, the famous otaku area in Tokyo. It is said that these Adjusters have a strong influence on the Wishmakers in that area, and are here to expand that influence through offering a neutral zone for all Wishmakers, faction-aligned or otherwise. Every night, they get up on stage and play the Blues themselves, alleviating the suffering that is being meguca.
Their magic is said to be in their music, and in reading the music of others like a crystal ball. When seeking advice from the Bluse Sisters, a guest is required to sing a song of their choice on stage while the sisters work on their Soul Gem nearby. Sami can pry into one’s memories, thoughts, and feelings through the lyrics. Yoko can scry the circumstances surrounding them through the melody, harmony, and rhythm, then peek at a number of vaguely defined possible futures.
Once this is done, they are able to dispense some rather sage advice on which direction in life one could benefit from. This is probably why Jolly Joliet is so popular, aside from the music, atmosphere, and menu.
Strangely enough, the Kamihama Magia Union's own shopkeeper, Iibey, serves as the bartender. When asked about it, he says that Earth music is fascinating to study, because of its mathematical elegance. He seems sincere about it at least, and even the many Feathers who patronise the nightclub have come to respect this specific "Green Devil". At the very least, he knows his drinks.
