I think that, um, with all those portals being closed, that's the last of the things that the Door brought through. I can't sense anything else, anyway.

Whew!!! What a crazy couple of weeks! You guys were all real troopers for hanging in there with us. I really thought we might be able to send you home!

I'd say "drinks are on me", but they kind of always are... so stop by for some drinks if you want! I've got some Delight shots ready to serve up too if any of you want to party all night with me!!! It's gonna be really fun, okay? We can forget all about that weird Door/demon/disaster stuff for awhile and just have a good time.

I'm already looking forward to it!

We did!!! I know it sucks being here. I'm trying to make it a little more bearable for you all.

You've definitely been doing that, don't worry.

But Sharon said I was killing you all with alcohol...

Are you using me to kill yourself, Chris? I'd be really sad if you were!!

[...SHARON.

Just give him a second to go find Sharon's thread and figure out what she said, and then figure out how he's supposed to answer this.]

I'm totally not. I barely even drink.

Sharon's right that people can die from drinking alcohol, but humans are kind of fragile and can die from all sorts of things. I think most of the people here are just drinking to be less stressed out for awhile, and even if they're overdoing it it's probably not going to hurt them. Unless you go ridiculously overboard and get alcohol poisoning your main problem's screwing up your liver like Sharon said but that takes a really long time.

[Long enough that hopefully no one here would ever have that problem. And okay, he's kind of leaving out how drinking to cope with problems is damaging mentally, but that's probably the best.]

Overall, I think being able to get a few drinks at the bar's doing a lot more good than bad for people here.

I understand.

I was worried... I don't want to help you harm yourselves. I just want to make you forget about your troubles, in whatever small way I can.

Maybe when Tranquility and Love come back, things will be easier.

It's okay; I think you're helping. A lot of people are really glad the bar's around.

Yeah, maybe.

[He's so not confident about either of them, but it's not like being apprehensive will stop them from coming back.]

Well, I'm glad that they're glad!

You should come around! I'll make you something good.
