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.

You are the person we need to keep this city moving forward. Excellent priorities.

[Should he be encouraging this? Absolutely not. Will he anyway? Yes.]

My partner and I are nearly done setting up shop. It really depends if you mind a bit of punching in the background of getting sloshed.

Dunno about building a new place but we could rework an abandoned building.

( Kate you have never built shit shut up. )

I still can't believe it's fucking gone. They're lucky I have a bottle of whiskey. [ Or she would go on a fucking rampage. Or start trying to figure out how to brew her own.

Actually. ]

You know anything about making alcohol?

I'm relieve that some people have their own priorities in order.

[ There's an upward quirk of the lip at that. ]

A bit of punching? Do you mean there are taverns without that feature?

[unitas]

It's not a good bar if someone isn't getting punched in the background.

I would hoping if we showed the effort, Delight might be more inclined to return the stock. That's more of what I worry about.

For now.

[ Alcohol doesn't last forever, alas. ]

Not a thing. We may be better off convincing one of the other gods that we need it in order to empower them. Sorrow, maybe.

( She's here for helping. This sobriety schtick is awful. )

Clear th' rubble that's left. See what we can salvage out of that. It'd be a start.

( Brewing their own would probably be easier, but hey. )

[closerift]

I'm willing to give anything a try at this point.

[ Though it's more likely her radioactive hand will just blow the place up again anyway. ]

[dedikated]

( Look, you can supervise. )

I'm up for it if we get a few more people. Get things done quick.

[queensberry]

Well, of course. The boring ones.

It'll be an exclusive feature. You know, alongside gambling. And other marvels of the world.

[closerift]

If I manage to rope in some of the others, I'll be in touch.

[queensberry]

I think the both of you are my kind of people.

What about a few broken arms? That too much? I'm still coming up with baby's first bar rules.

[dedikated]

Works for me.

( Extra work means fewer opportunities to worry about Faith's state back home, how she just seems completely comatose. )

[ don't u dare talk like that, cecily. it'll last forever. oh god no it won't but still. ]

Leave me out of convincing that bastard of anything. I'd rather drown myself in the river. Let's just convince Delight to get the fuck over whatever her issue is and bring it back, instead.

[dedikated]

Long as I'm not expected to work while drinking.

( :| )

[closerift]

Is there actual gambling going on here? What do we really have to bet?

video.

[closerift]

And do the same if you've got any ideas, all right?

video

[closerift]

You realize if you drown in the river, people will be sorrowful, don't you? Also, I'd appeal to her, but I don't think either of us are quite delightful enough to make her change her mind. Does she have any favorite captives, do you know?

[unitas]

The least amount of rules, the better, I imagine. Motherfuckers want to break arms, go ahead, but if I kill them because they try that shit with me, it's on them, not me.

[unitas]

I'd just come back, remember? Save the tears and sorrow for those that have actually left us. The city is stuck with me, or me it. [ Don't mourn her death and/or possible suicide, please. It's not necessary when they just come back. ]

I almost got the bar shut down, so I don't think she'd listen to me, anyway. But Chris, I bet, is a favorite of hers. Mister Beanie and that fucking coffee cart.

[queensberry]

Doesn't this city work us all up enough?

You're free to get as wasted as you like. No work, all play.

video.

[dedikated]

Course.

( They may need the gods to get things but they have ingenuity, right? They can make a whole bunch of bars. )

[dedikated]

( Yeah, that's why the clinic is a mess on a semi-regular basis. )

Remember that when someone needs a splint for their limbs.

[queensberry]

[holy shit]

I don't think I'd want to get in the ring with you, but... the guard won't be allowed to set foot if they're on duty. Just try not to murder too many.
