The tavern - the very first tavern Lex ever got, the one he always felt like he tricked the system into giving him, the one that had helped him survive the Crystal realm - had now changed completely. If one were to look at it, they would find it familiar, and yet alien.
This was because the framework of the tavern was that of the original, but either out of a wish to ingratiate themselves to the Innkeeper, or under the instructions of a mischievous Mary, it was now entirely different.
The unusual theme of butter knives now covered the tavern, albeit in a tasteful manner. No one could deny the Dao Lords of being tacky. Instead of feeling like the design was odd and misplaced, it was worked into the design as if it was entirely natural. The butter knife became more of a subtle insignia - the finishing touches to a masterpiece. The tavern, identical in layout yet entirely different in the aura that it contained, now felt like an entirely different place.
