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.

[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?]
