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]

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.

[latinumsbetter]

I just had extra after making myself a drink!

[murchada]

You literally asked me if I wanted one before you started making it.

[latinumsbetter]

Temporary moment of insanity! Won't happen again.

[murchada]

It happened twice.

The second time, I was the one who insisted on paying.

[latinumsbetter]

You--[wait hold on he has to think back]

Okay, that was last Tuesday, that doesn't count! I was very out of sorts.

1/2

[murchada]

Oh, you know. I remember Aoi called me something that might be appropriate here, too.

2/2

[murchada]

You're such a tsundere.

[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. ]

[latinumsbetter]

[IT IS DEEPLY CULTURALLY EMBARRASSING HE IS INCREDIBLY EMBARRASSED RIGHT NOW]

Maybe, but I'm not. I'm friendly, that's different! I sell everything at above cost!

[raisethemoon]

Yes, you are a businessman!

[ She doesn't really get the finer distinctions he's trying to make, but it's probably a Ferengi thing. ]

[rockymountaindie]

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

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

[latinumsbetter]

[...]

--well, yeah, it's not like you had it on you at the time. And I collected on it!

[rockymountaindie]

It was still really nice.

[latinumsbetter]

Oh, c'mon, I clearly wasn't going to get the tokens out of you then. I'd have a much better chance of collecting on a sale later!

[rockymountaindie]

You carried it back to my room with me. You offered.

[latinumsbetter]

And what, have you break the thing on my door or something and claim a reason not to pay?

[rockymountaindie]

[ He sighs. ]

Why don't you want people to think you're nice, Quark? It's not sayin' anything bad against you.

[yourheroine]

Were you worried about Aoi for business reasons?

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

[latinumsbetter]

[er]

You are one of my customers. And there were rocks flying around!

[yourheroine]

...if Aoi pulls her weight and gets better at dodging rocks, will Quark worry less?

[latinumsbetter]

You should probably get a little better at dodging rocks if you're planning on being out in the middle of everything, y'know. [AVOIDING THE WORRYING PART OF THAT]

[yourheroine]

My power only works if I touch somebody...Aoi will get better at it.

Don't want to hurt my friend's business.

[latinumsbetter]

Great, that makes two of us.
