Week Five

[letsplayamod]

Two more have left your side, gone to wherever Typhon has whisked them away to. And, no matter how little you might care about his threats, it seems that he's got no intention of stopping them anytime soon. Unfortunately, there's no sign of Athena on the horizon either, but perhaps those statues that bear a remarkable similarity to her might be the key you need to overthrowing the Titan before things get worse.

In better news, a new floor has once again revealed itself. You're free to venture further down into the island - perhaps further than you'd think was possible.

Even the less perceptive among you might notice how all around you, things seem to be... healing. Even your living area has experienced a noticeable shift. Plants are greener, a few flowers are in bloom. The sun shines bright. Despite it all, life continues alongside you. Or, perhaps, because of you.

Quark's Bar

Comments

[sweetsynergy]

I was a little under the impression we already were, to an extent. I don't share coffee for just anyone.

[latinumsbetter]

[Quark considers that with a thoughtful noise.]

Point.

[he tilts his head a bit to look at her as they walk]

What do you think of maybe a coffee shop or something? Like a cafe?

[sweetsynergy]

I like the way you think.

[They can call it Quarkbucks]

Think Leb will be up to providing a small selection of baked goods?

[Both. Both emotionally, mentally, and logistically, given what this weekend has chosen to be.]

[latinumsbetter]

I think she would, considering she's the head baker for the bar. [he smirks at that, not with a small amount of pride.]

[sweetsynergy]

Ha, fair point.

[If the workload is too much- eh, they can burn that bridge when they come to it.]

It doesn't need to be a lot, just things that can't be readily found in the kitchen already.

It should probably open in the morning, too- less direct competition, and caffeine for people waking up.

[latinumsbetter]

It would definitely be a draw in the morning. People would probably be able to smell the coffee and the pastries, and that'll be a draw also.

[sweetsynergy]

Exactly. We could keep a few warm in the oven, really let the scent spread.

[latinumsbetter]

That'll work a charm. [he studies her for a moment out of the corner of his eye]

How much involvement and cut are you thinkin'?

[sweetsynergy]

Hm, running the cafe, bringing in my expertise, using your branding-

[here is where i the player confess i have no idea what would be reasonable so i'm just shamelessly pulling from The Other Side]

Call it nineteen percent.

[For the purposes of out of character clarity this is meant to be a highball that is not so totally outrageous as to be insulting.]

[latinumsbetter]

[Thank the Blessed Exchequer he can always count on Vanity for an actual negotiation.] Nineteen! [Quark blows out a breath] Whoo! Between you and Leb, I'm not going to have any of my company left.

[he considers] Ten.

[sweetsynergy]

Oh come on Quark. If things were that tight expanding would be dumb, and I know you're not stupid.

[This feels oddly relaxing in a way nothing in the last month has.]

Seventeen.

[latinumsbetter]

[oh mood, tbh. It's nice to have something just be easy and familiar.]

True, I'm not stupid. Which is why I have to take into account new unexpected costs that expansion always accrues.

Twelve.

[sweetsynergy]

You do! So I know you've got enough budgeted away to have extra even in the worst cases.

[tough luck Quark she has faith in your business acumen]

[get believed in, scrub]

Fifteen.
