[Greed's voice purrs out in metallic static. There's the faintest catch of the radio - something sultry, jazzy.]

"If you've got the number, it means I like ya. Sorry to disappoint, but I'm out right now - all work and no play. If you're looking for a face-face visit, head down to The Devil's Nest. I'll be glad to entertain."

[Thunk go a pair of boots.] "If you're looking for something personal, you know what to do."

This Isnt For Second Place Its First Prize In A Second Contest
A Single Free Drink Is Woefully Inadequate
It Can Be Less Than The Drinking Contest Since It Has No Buy-In I Could Understand That
But If You Promise Prizes Youll Have More Interested Customers Who Spend More Money
And A Contest Will Have More Costumes Around Too Which Will Mean More Discounts Which Will Mean They Can Afford To Drink More
Trust Me It Will Be Good For Business
Especially With How Minor A Discount It Is To Begin With

Will I Have To Pay This Out Of My Own Pocket
Fifty Dollars Thats All Im Suggesting

heyhey now noone said anytgin about that

how much now?

02/22

[glowsferatu]

i thought it would be courteous to inform you of my release yesterday
unfortunately it doesnt mean ill be returning to work
im still under increased scrutiny so such a flagrant disregard for employment laws would poorly serve the both of us
if the position is still available in may then i suppose we can negotiate it then

1/2

[nestingdevil]

figured as much

rules, laws and youve already mde yourself clrear. just dont think i agree withn it

2/2

[nestingdevil]

but woulndt be me if i forced nything

just ltme know not aout to tell you youcnt come back. ill be hre if youdcide tochngr your mind

[glowsferatu]

as i said this isnt about a decision
all things being equal id be there tomorrow
ive already reduced my commute
what this is about is my mess not being done with and i dont want to have you dragged through it
so i wont risk you being branded a criminal alongside me

[nestingdevil]

cant say it isn't a bad idea but i relly dont care what they think

never been much foranyoneelse's rules nwyay kanaya dont thinkk thats changed

you in heropa still or are they moving you somehwhere else?

[glowsferatu]

im in the process
ill be a local by the time its all finished
but not quite your neighbor as i wont be in the official housing

[nestingdevil]

a local?

wll no harm in at least cming for a vist or two

[glowsferatu]

that we could do
just give me the little x marks on my hands

i wouldnt mind doing other work of course
as long as it isnt in the bar

[nestingdevil]

X mrks? dont knw whyyoud hve to dothat but

thres som numbrs you culd run ifyouhbe the time

[glowsferatu]

if the books need to be balanced i can manage that
im sure that a surplus of time is something ill have while this probation lasts

x marks are something you normally draw on the hands of minors
you know to communicate that they cant and wont be drinking

[nestingdevil]

figred as much any othr rules i shoudl know?

sounds liek alot more trounle than itsworth bt if thats wht youwnt

[glowsferatu]

you do realize that you are legally prohibited from serving alcohol to anyone under the age of 21 right
i really hope this is a thing you are aware of
like knowing circumvention of law is one thing but
ignorance isnt exactly an excuse
