The Juice Bar
A power-up is a single-use transformation — one can, one slot, one shot. It detonates the instant your battle starts for a real, explosive spike of power and an entrance the group chat won't shut up about. That burst gets added to your dice and helps tip the fight your way. Crack them from Chests or learn them with Fame, then slot one into any loadout. You earn that power by fighting; cash never buys it.
The Juice Bar
Vendor
Neon-haired, vibrating at 9000 Hz, bandolier of glowing cans across his chest. He doesn't sell drinks — he sells the loudest five seconds of your life. Pupils don't match. Probably shouldn't be licensed. Slings you exactly one can and dares you to time the bell.
“One sip, one slot, one bell. You pop off, you go SUPER, then you come back to Earth like the rest of us mortals.”Slot a power-up
One sip, one slot, one bell
One power-up. One slot. Crack it from a Chest or learn it with Fame, then load it into the bench before the doors open.
The second your battle starts, the can detonates — big entrance, glowing aura, the crowd loses it. This is the brief, explosive edge.
The surge burns hot and fast, then it's gone. You popped off, you went SUPER, now you fight on like the rest of us mortals.
A power-up is real juice. It dumps a hidden burst of power straight into your dice the moment the bell rings — a genuine spike that helps decide who wins. You can't buy that with cash; you earn it by fighting. The dice still bite, so no win is handed to you — but a popped can fights dirty for you, and you look unforgettable doing it.
