Week Three Meeting

[latinumsbetter]

[Welcome back to the Eatery. Perhaps the mood is more somber than it was during the last meeting in here, but once again there is food and (non-alcoholic) punch to go around. Quark, Wendy and Vanity occupy the head of the table, but there’s plenty of other seats for both those that helped set up and those that didn’t. Looks like it’s time to put your heads together again and hopefully sort some things out.

Once everyone’s seated and in attendance, Quark pushes to his feet.]

Alright, we’re all pretty tired after yesterday so I’m not going to draw this out. Let’s just get started. [and he motions at Vanity, before sitting back down]

How does that make sense? Warm and bright sounds like some kinda children's holosuite program or something.

[murchada]

Literally since you got here you've been taking care of people.

[raisethemoon]

That is true!

[latinumsbetter]

Wh--I--[BETRAYAL????]

You're making it sound way more altruistic than it is! I've been, you know, doing the community thing! It's supposed to help my god powers or something!

[raisethemoon]

Oh, community! Famously dark and cold!

[ of COURSE these things all go together! ]

[murchada]

Not warm and fuzzy at all.

[rockymountaindie]

Face it, Quark, your heart's as warm and squishy as those slugs you like.

[ ... ]

Ew. Ew, I regretted it, like, right as I said it.

[liedol]

I could like, see you realize what you were saying even while you were saying it...

[latinumsbetter]

I didn't say dark and cold, but it's not like I'm doing this outta the goodness of my heart or something! I've been charging people for drinks and for buying their stuff back from me!

[murchada]

You gave me a free drink more than once.

[raisethemoon]

That is how a business works! Those who own them are not barred from being kind people!

[ Also, you did give her a free drink as well, but apparently that's culturally sort of embarrassing for you. ]

[rockymountaindie]

...You let me put it on my tab.

[ with the. you know. the whole. the springy-head guy. ]

[yourheroine]

Were you worried about Aoi for business reasons?

[She's genuinely asking. Just like in general.]

[murchada]

Literally you dropped your god powers yesterday because you were worrying about Aoi.

[latinumsbetter]

There were those giant chunks of rock flying around everywhere! It was distracting!

[yourheroine]

[Oh. Quark was worried about her? Why would he think something like that?

...whatever the reason, it makes her oddly happy.]

[liedol]

Maybe you got your god powers because you're already a community kind of guy?

[ voice of a girl who is Not Helping Matters ]

[latinumsbetter]

I--[...augh]--well, sure, my bar's the main hub back on the station, but that's part of running a business.

[liedol]

Yeah, but like... that's still community stuff. Right?

[ said with all the gentle patience of a mom trying to explain to her genius toddler why two and one make three and not four. ]

[fillets]

No, they're quite right! It's always the warmest when you're in a place like this, and its strength is the most consistent and settled when you're being especially loud.

[latinumsbetter]

[RIFUL YOU ARE NOT HELPING]

You've gotta be seeing things. Maybe your powers are on the fritz!

[fillets]

[ unfortunately she's just giggling now... ]

[brokenhabit]

Oh it makes a lot of sense actually.

[latinumsbetter]

[lasdhfs] Leb! [NOT YOU TOO] It definitely doesn't!

[brokenhabit]

Why doesn’t it?
