Object

Rex's Bar Stool

A small, well-worn bar stool sitting at the counter of Rex's Bar: compact, low, and scuffed from frequent use. The seat carries the faint warmth of recent occupants and bears the authority of habit—Rex keeps it as a claimed place in the room. Characters pivot around it as Lwaxana Troi commandeers the seat for intimate conversation, using its proximity to Rex to disable social distance and draw Picard and Riker into the scene.

Purpose

Provide a compact seat for patrons at Rex's Bar; serve as a staging prop that positions characters for close conversation and social interaction.

Significance

Functions as a focal prop that enables Lwaxana's takeover of space and the ensuing comic-diplomatic distraction; its status as Rex's reserved stool (saved for Mrs. Troi) signals personal ownership and fuels interpersonal dynamics central to the scene's mood and later callbacks.
