I know that everyone is busy taking enthusiastic whiffs of the new candles and dozing off in the hot springs, but what I would love most of all right now is to hear about what's been done to return the bar to some kind of functional order. To something beyond a pile of rubble and fond memories of time spent there.

Some of us find the place to be just as comforting as a dip in the hot water, so anyone who has actual interest in doing something about this frankly upsetting absence of a beloved city icon is welcome to join me to- generate ideas.

[ Other people have to like to drink, right??? ]

I have zero construction experience, but I'm willing to try anything if it will help.

[ Luckily, Delight is the only god she can actually stand, so that's... something. ]

In the meantime, does anyone have a nice, dry red? I'm sure we can come to some arrangement.

I've got experience with plumbing and electrical work. It's a bit different here obviously but I'm happy to try and help if you need me.

Excellent, that's just what we need.

[ Finally, someone competent!! ]

And your name, my lady?

[Flick smiled at the lady, not at all offended to be thought of as a woman. In truth, he was both, and more often than not people thought he was a girl. Or a very short guy.]

I'm glad to be of some service. I'm Flick. I usually work over at the generator, so I'm getting familiar with what's here.

[ Were they speaking in person, the Inquisitor might have been more able to discern that Flick wasn't, in fact, a woman. The phones, however, are still a technology that she struggles with. ]

Flick. Thank you. [ And someone who works at the generator, keeping them with power. She makes a mental note of this person for later. ] Is it rude of me to ask if you spent much time at the bar, may its soul rest in peace?

[Maybe that was something they could bond over. Flick hadn't used devices like this in years. He vaguely remembered something like them when he was a child, but memories from his human past faded so quickly, like they weren't even his. He gave her a gentle smile.]

You're welcome. I'm happy to help. It's nice to feel useful here.

[He was pretty useless at defending himself or killing monsters or....really anything that wasn't menial]

I didn't spend any time in it. I....don't really get out much.

[After hiding and being on the run, assuming the world was a bad place and there was no one you could trust, well, old habits died hard]

Well, I hope you find it within yourself to change that. We need more pleasant, level-headed people out and about in this city.

[ She smiles (genuinely, for once, and not a smirk, either). ]

[Flick gave her a big, warm smile. It seemed like it was so rare, both here and back home, that he met people who were genuinely nice. It was refreshing, a reminder that maybe the world wasn't so bad after all.]

I'd like that. I'll try. And I'll definitely help you with the bar.

Thank you, again. I'll speak with you soon, I hope?

Absolutely. I'll stop by the old bar and take a look too.

Excellent. Until then.

[ And Cecily vanished with a small smile. ]
