now listen good and listen straight, you're not the master of your fate

[Another week, another murder, another absolute shitshow. Tarrlok kind of just wants to lock himself in his room for a while, but... well, he volunteered. So... it's definitely going to be much later in the day before a note advising everyone to meet up in the bar for some comfort food is slipped under everyone's door.

At least Tarrlok didn't have to take care of everything alone, though; while he spent most of the time cooking by himself, Speedwagon and Yosuke helped take some delicious pork buns up to set them out across the bar so that everyone could drown their sorrows in stuffing their faces. And, you know, alcohol, maybe that too. There's also some vegetarian stir fry for people who don't like pork, too, of course.

There isn't an official bartender to start out with, but there is live entertainment courtesy of Yosuke, who's strumming his guitar over in the corner there.

Hopefully someone will step up, because lord knows everyone in the Vault needs a drink right now.]

Far too long. After all of that I think I'll sleep through tomorrow entirely.

I don't think anyone would fault you, sweetheart.

You'll know where to find me, if you need me. Or just want to crash at my room instead, this time.

[...Oh...]

I appreciate the offer, but...

[He shrugs.]

Maybe another time.

Alright. As you wish - it's probably better to get some time to yourself now and again.

[He understands, or thinks he does.]

Honestly, I'll be surprised if I'm not fighting with Sigrun for the better part of the day.

...I'd be surprised, too, but I'm sure you two will work things out eventually.

Given how we both tend to be, I'm sure the entire building will hear about it either way, soundproofed dorms or not.

If anyone could manage to be louder than an actual murder, it's you.

...That's one of those things that I think most people wouldn't take as a compliment. I've never liked being like most people, though.

There's nothing inherently wrong with being able to be loud when the time calls for it. You have stage presence.

Well, it'd just be a bit depressing if I didn't, darling.

Just a little. But it's a trait I can admire.
