Yes! It really is very broad. Also undamaged items may be returned for a full refund, so I function as a library.

"Oh that is so broken, whoever's writing this has given me a whole treasure trove. How do you index stuff, do I have to know in advance what I want and then ask for it specifically or can I ask for any kinds of catalog, you said you didn't like menus...?"

I don't like implicitly limiting the range of things I can provide. I don't mind giving you copies of menus or catalogs made for some more limited situation, but a menu of things I can offer would not be medium-sized.

"Is the list of universes you can pull things from similarly unlimited, here, could I request a warp drive or something?" Is a warp drive even an object? He's not sure, he didn't really watch Star Trek, he only vaguely knows about it through osmosis.

Not medium-sized. If you'd like a textbook on warp engineering I can do that.

"Oh wow. How precise do I have to be to ask for things, like, could I go 'every book I've ever read' or 'every book I've ever owned' or 'every book I currently own'?"

Well, my knowledge of what books you've interacted with is the barrier there.

"I... think I understand? Maybe? Or, no, wait, you did successfully reproduce this smoothie," he shakes his empty cup to demonstrate, "from just a vague description of where I meant, how exactly does your knowledge of these things work here?"

I'm especially good with foods and drinks. There are only so many degrees of freedom in a strawberry banana smoothie as enjoyed by someone from your source world by someone who speaks your language and is possessed of your comestible-related biology.

"I think I see..." Part of him wants to go into the fine details of what and how much knowledge Bar has about individual things but actually he's sure everything will work in sensible ways whenever he needs it to. "And how do I, uh, pay for stuff I buy?"

You can just put money down on my surface, or give me a card number.

"I'm kind of a new character, though, and I don't really have any money on me, or a card either. I just have a," vague handwave, "metanarrative guarantee that I can afford whatever I want."

Well, you're welcome to open a tab, and pay it back later if you come by a more concrete representation of that guarantee, or don't - it doesn't bother me either way, though there is some reason to think the landlords might prefer people to have settled up their tabs.

"Or maybe they'll just come to an arrangement with the Spirit. We'll see how that goes. Say, does this bar have lodgings of any kind?"

It does! There are hotel rooms upstairs.

"And do I keep a—hmm. Actually how does that work with time shenanigans, do I pay based on the subjective number of days or...?"

Yes, that's right.

"Does that mean I can't, say, keep renting a room if I leave here because there's no guarantee I'll ever come back?"

If it happens to be the case that you will return to stay in your room, it will not have been rented to anyone else in your absence and you will continue to be charged only by the subjective day spent in the establishment with access to it.

"That is extremely convenient. In that case I do believe I want to rent a room, please."

Of course. How large a suite do you prefer?

"Is there a meaningfully largest suite or do they just keep getting larger and larger forever in spatially confusing ways?"

Definitely the latter.

"Alright, how about, uh, something about as large as a large suite in a five-star hotel in Paris, is that sufficiently specific and/or vague that we can run with it?"

Oh, hey, now he can say "/" without actually having to say the word "slash", that's neat.

Certainly. A key appears. Room 705.
