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.]

After the damn messes he's already tossed our way, I'd hate to think about what he'll try next.

[...]

Might be a stupid one this time, for all we know.

[ignorantly]

Or something like takin' away our food until somebody dies.

[isafraid]

[Oh geeze, that's an idea.]

Now that's something he'd be likely to do! We don't even know where all that food is coming from in the first place!

[ignorantly]

[ He's quiet for a second and something occurs to him- ]

...What if he's watchin' us right now and I just gave him the idea to starve us?

[isafraid]

[....Oh.]

Uh... Might be best to change the subject then?

[Uh... UH...]

H-how's that drink holding you?

[ignorantly]

[ QUICKLY TAKES ANOTHER SIP... as he tries hard to avoid glancing at the ceiling since that's where he assumes cameras would be. ]

...It's good, thanks. [ Sip, sip. ] The bitterness isn't so bad once ya get used to it.

[isafraid]

[Cameras are everywhere. Hopefully the Kingmaker actually does give them a moment's privacy at times.

Please don't take their words as inspiration...]

Told ya. Drinking takes a bit of getting used to, but there's sure to be some sweeter things around here.

[He raises his own glass.]

To your first drink, Mister ghoul hunter!
