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.

Fair enough. Probably easy enough to find if you go far back enough in the network archives, anyhow.

[Not that he seems real concerned about potential bar implosions. Mostly just...vaguely concerned for potentially alcoholic friends who may or may not suffer in the absence of any liquor.

Just, y'know. Vaguely.]

I'd have a better chance of scouring the city for it. I'm not particularly network-inclined.

[ Like. At all. ]

[This is also fair.]

Well, y'know. Ask around, see who's got a notion. City ain't that big.

All right. [ She cracks a grin. ] I can certainly do that.

Hey, if it's one thing I've learned about humans, 's that bars are top priority.

Not for everyone. [ She admits reasonably. ] But some have a greater... need for them than others.

Need, huh?

[Yeah. That...sounds about right.]

What's not to like about 'em? The social atmosphere, the bartender camaraderie...'s good stuff.

Yes. [ But she can stop anytime she wants to!! ]

Some people don't like the noise, or the kind of people who spend time in bars. [ She flaps a hand, obviously not one to follow that kind of thinking. ] I can understand it, but... well, then, all you need to do is to move yourself, and your drink, to somewhere less busy.

Well, exactly. 'Cept I think most of the alcohol stock was in Delight's place, and without that, uh...

[Well, he's got no clue what kinda symptoms are present in alcohol withdrawal. It's never been a problem for him, really, monsters bein' made of the stuff they are.]

Well, yes. [ A major tragedy, that. ] ... But, we'll get it up and running again in - some time.

[ Not "no" time, mind. ]

[Wouldn't much think so, no.]

One of the gods'll probably help you stock something, yeah? [It don't much concern him. He's got his condiments, and that's good enough for him.]

I hope so. [ She agrees, adopting a sideways sort of smile. ] ... And I appreciate your commiserating, whether you indulge or not.

Hey, as long as it don't mean I have to work for it.

[That, too, is its own lie, but who's gonna call him out on it?]
