Huh... I was chatting with "Mixtral 8x7B" (AI) courtesy of DuckDuckGo ("Chat" tab while search results are being displayed), and for kicks asked "What is the midnight pub?", which led to:

I never read Harry Potter. I remember the series when it came out and was like "oh, kids still read books??!" and then ignored everything related to the books/movies.

The ambiance of The Pub is well enough as written by the patrons who stop in. Different perspectives, and the overall "gist" (reoccurrences) of the place are there, just a matter of how they're written about.

On that, tried for citizenship to Nightfall City, echo didn't work apparently. I put in a NEW username, so I'll try again with my Midnight name. Then I may poke around.

I also didn't know that N.c is effectively like it's on Tilde Town. I considered joining T.t, but just decided for N.c patronage and patronization (basically the same) to continue.

So I shall re-`echo`
