Day 56: Black Rock Inn (Late Afternoon)
Even after Jones had taken his leave, Harvey had ended up spending some more time in the bar, getting himself a few more drinks -- up until the bartender had told him that he wasn't going to give him any more. He could handle way more than three shots without a problem, thank you very much, but Old Man Mathers wasn't having it. If he'd been a bit drunker, Harvey might have seen that as reason to start a fight, but in the end he'd decided to just leave it and take off somewhere else.
The issue of where to go was always there, but he had more or less given up on finding anything worthwhile to buy with the rest of his money. It seemed like a waste, but in the end it was information that he was more interested in. For that reason, Harvey ended up working his way back across the town all the way to the Black Rock Inn. He'd spotted the place before, but he'd never been inside, and at this point he was wondering if he could do some people-watching to get an idea of who the hell would come to stay at an inn in a dumpy town like this.
It was only after he stepped into the entrance room and realized that there was a bar and small kitchen off to the side that Harvey realized that he'd yet to eat anything. The alcohol had gone to his head -- not badly, but enough that he could feel it when he really shouldn't have been able to. He wondered if he'd be able to get the food down, but at this point he didn't know if he had a choice.
Going to sit at the bar, Harvey realized that he could probably con them into giving him more drinks here, but he only had so much money left and he needed some food. Sighing, he picked up a nearby menu and started to read through it while also keeping an eye on the front door.
