(the band gets up and heads to the bar for a drink, as electronic video game music takes over and the space is populated with video game characters.)

SADIE
​in the game
​you are the caretaker of a small, idyllic sword and sorcery ​village
​in an enchanted time before the fall of magical thinking
​and you are responsible for the upkeep of the charming ​grounds
​and the care and happiness of all your cute and cuddly littlе ​neighbors
