Assignment 4

People sit around in a very casual setting. There are local authorities throughout the premise (a bartender and a manager.) There is a hookah in one part of the room which seems to be the main area to sit in. There is also a large couch in one corner which is also a spot were people sit. The crowd is mostly male, but there are one or two females. Many of the people in the room seem to know each other. I was greeted when I entered and was asked by the bartender if I would like a drink. Most of the conversations were very casual. Many seemed to revolve around game content the users had: this new outfits and accessories (such as a new tail and a new T-Shirt), new music and sound clips, and even a new drink item for the bar. Avatars used scripted gestures (like laughing and shrugging) casually through out the conversation. When I announced that I was leaving, a few of the avatars said goodbye and the proprietor told me to come back soon.
