009 - [Action/Voice]

[hageshii]

[Meanwhile (or LATERWHILE because this is forward-dated to this evening), Goroh is at Good Spirits, sitting on a stool up at the bar. But rather than doing his usual thing of just hanging out there, he's got his journal out in front of him for a voice message.]

Goroh here. Listen up, I've promised a few people I'd have a drink with them. If you're one of those people, you should know where to find me.

[And that'll do for now. If he hasn't asked you for a drink, you can still bother him anyways.]

Comments

[hageshii]

Sounds familiar enough to me. Are they worth keeping an eye out for?

[not_meatbuns]

[She laughs and waves a hand dismissively.] I'm not sure you'd need to. The only NOL officer I've met here so far is just a little girl.

[Obviously, she hasn't run into Jin.]

[hageshii]

I should count myself lucky. Near as I can tell, no one from my neck of the universe is in this place. Least, nobody that I know anyways. [And he finishes off another round.] Best that way, I figure. This place ain't exactly an entertaining place. [And besides, he doesn't need his reputation following him here.]

[not_meatbuns]

I suppose~ But I have to say, it's nice to see familiar faces around. [Even though the only one she's even faintly acquainted with is Bang, but that's another story. The alcohol is definitely getting to her now, so she's slightly flushed -- but still not really showing any other signs of drunkenness. Aside from the occasional teasing tone, that is.]

Besides, I'm sure there's something entertaining.

[hageshii]

[Goroh has already been at this for awhile before she even showed up. He's got a pretty high tolerance, but he's usually not this loose with his own personal life.]

Possibly. What do you have in mind?

[not_meatbuns]

Oh, I don't know~. I'm sure I can find some Mahjong tiles somewhere.

[hageshii]

Can't say I've ever played. If it's not racing, the only kind of games I know are with a deck of cards or a pair of die.

[not_meatbuns]

I should teach you sometime. Once I can find the tiles, of course. [And second glass is done.]

[hageshii]

[And he's going to refill both of their glasses. Probably not a good idea, given the potency of this stuff. Not to mention that Goroh already has Grog in his system...]

Sure, why not? If anything else, it'll be something to do.

[not_meatbuns]

It's a plan, then~

[It's definitely not a good idea, but Litchi's starting on that third glass anyway.]

[hageshii]

Hey, whatever happened with the clinic? Did they hook you up?

[not_meatbuns]

[She nods.] Yes, I'll be volunteering there from now on. It'll be nice having work again.

[hageshii]

Ha! Wish I could say the same for myself. I remain woefully unemployed.

[not_meatbuns]

Why don't you work for the Welcome Center? If you're going to help out the newcomers anyway, it seems like a good fit.

[hageshii]

[He laughs at that.] Thanks, but no thanks. Welcoming newbies with milk and cookies ain't exactly my style.

[not_meatbuns]

[She chuckles.] You'd be welcoming them with this ale, I take it?

[hageshii]

It would've made me feel better if someone had done the same for me.

[not_meatbuns]

Maybe you should start that up, then. Make it something of a tradition~?

[Only in her drunken mind is this a good idea.]

[hageshii]

Ha! First you get kidnapped, given a pair of wings, then you get completely pissed drunk. Sounds like a great plan. I'll have to bring that up at the next town meeting.

[not_meatbuns]

[She laughs.] It'd certainly take away some of the shock.

[Sip.] I think you should go for it.

[hageshii]

Maybe I will. You and I could run a real Welcome Center.

[not_meatbuns]

[Oh god, don't encourage it. She's actually serious about this for now.] We could~ Everyone deserves a proper welcome.

[hageshii]

Then we'll do it! You and me, Goroh and Litchi's Welcome Center. Get 'em fixed up, boozed up, and give them the straight facts about this dump. Ain't gonna sugarcoat how this place is great for meeting people like some of the other idiots around here. [And he finishes drink number 3 all at once.]

[not_meatbuns]

[She nods in agreement, even though she is of the opinion that Luceti is indeed very good for meeting new people.] Exactly~

Although... would we need licenses to distribute alcohol?

[hageshii]

[Then she's just a softie! Although Goroh has met a few people who aren't completely terrible.]

And who is going to regulate that? We'll print up our own licenses! We can do whatever the hell we want to do!
