eleventh; video (there's too much confusion, i can't get no relief)

[Like ... probably everyone here, Nick's pretty stressed out about the Null's recent network broadcast and extremely Tired in general, so. She's dipped into her very small supply of cigarettes and is smoking one when she turns on the feed.]

OK, if y'all are done talking about killing each other, or trying to kill each other, or actually killing each other - [she pauses to give the camera an exaggerated roll of her eyes while exhaling a small cloud of smoke] - I got a question.

[She pauses again to tap the ash off the end of her cigarette into a chipped mug she's repurposed into a makeshift ashtray, then turns back to the camera.]

When I first got back this last time, someone said there'd been talk about rebuilding what's left of Delight's bar into a café. Is anyone actually doing anything about that? 'Cause I dunno about y'all, but I could use something to do that isn't sitting around and waiting to get murdered.

[How 'bout it, Hadriel?]

[Right on, Ann. Nick nods appreciatively for her enthusiasm.]

Cool. You know anything about construction? 'Cause I sure don't.

[cakebuffet]

Well, no, but how hard can it be?

[Famous last words.]

We grab a hammer and some nails and start putting things back together. We're girls, we can handle anything that gets thrown our way.

[OK, maybe that's a little too much enthusiasm. Nick rubs the hand not occupied with the cigarette across her forehead.]

Have you, uh, seen what's left of Delight's bar?

[cakebuffet]

... no?

[At least she's honest.]

I'm guessing it's not much.

Some idiot a while back thought it would be a good idea to blow the place up. So yeah, it's fuckin' trashed.

[She pauses, takes another inhale off her cigarette, slowly blows out the smoke.]

I dunno, maybe at this point it'd be better if we just tried to fix up another building that isn't so wrecked.

[She winces. Oh.]

Might be less work that way-- and safer all-around. We'd get it up and running sooner, too, if we weren't starting with total rubble.

[bekommen]

Yeah ... [she nods, rubbing a hand over her mouth as she thinks.] I don't know shit about renovating, either. But that makes sense, fixin' up something that's already there, instead of trying to build from scratch.

I could ask my roommates?

[She doesn't know much about Raidou yet, and she's not sure Akira has much experience with any kind of construction, but...]

Akira is pretty much amazing at whatever he does. I bet he'd love to help, at least!

[Yusuke could handle decor, maybe!]
