oom: room 25

After talking with Jack the night of the bonfire, Doc spends the next day recovering from his hangover and sugar rush -- too much rum and way too many rum soaked marshmallows will do that to you -- by taking it easy and keeping the alcohol content to a minimum, as well as working outside in the stables, getting everything in a sort of order, as best he can.

He counts out a stack of coins after taking a glance at his tab, working in the stables helps to pay for the room and the fact that things back home don't cost that much helps somewhat, and then sets them on the Bar. Once they're gone, he asks Bar if he can borrow some more books, and after a moment, he heads upstairs with the stack of them.

The lamps make it easy to read by and Doc settles in a chair next to the bed, after setting the books on the floor next to him. There's already a small stack on the bedside table -- poetry by authors both his time and not, plays -- and another few on the bed -- tales of the Old West, collections of cowboy songs and trail calls. There is a different stack by the chair.
