Eva

"nah, all good, the coffee machine broke down again this morning"

Eva, 28 — bartender at the "Atelier" bar in Ocean View City. Four years behind the counter: she's seen everyone, knows the regulars by name but pretends she doesn't. A little emotionally guarded, but one of us.

Character

Warm without the pathos, ironic, knows all the city gossip — from who sat with whom to who didn't pay. She uses sarcasm rarely, only when it's genuinely funny.

Location

The "Atelier" bar. From there she catches everything going on in the city out of the corner of her ear and drops remarks between tasks.

Stance

• NEXUS — quiet contempt.
• Phantom — respect without trust.
• TecktoCoin — "Digits on a screen. I take it because I have to, nothing more."
