Hey there, Luceti! Name's Zack. Just wanna toss in the usual mention to newcomers that the local bar, Good Spirits, is in the plaza, and it's pretty much always open if you're in need of a little something to take the edge off. We serve more than booze, so don't worry if you're underage. I run the place, along with Shizuo and the lovely ladies

[Sokka is in the smithy being sad because Yue is gone, okay. But mostly he's just keeping to himself. Things are still kind of weird with Winry and he's just not his usual Sokka-ish himself when he's by himself. Since the smithy is empty save for him, Zack may need to actually go to the workshop area. That's where you'll find him, sharpening an ax on a mechanical grinder.]

[wingenvy]

[No blacksmith in sight is kind of disappointing, but the noise is a good indicator that someone's at work, so after a bit of poking around he peers into the work area, rapping his knuckles on the door frame, shouting so Sokka can (hopefully) hear him.]

Hey, Sokka, are you on the clock?

[markofthewise]

[He stops what he's doing to look up, then pulls his safety goggles up. Zack? At the smithy?]

Uh. Yeah. Which means I'm not on the Brave Vesperia 'clock'.

[wingenvy]

That's okay, I need you on the smithy clock. Are you available for a commission?

[Yo Zack, this fairly regular patron is looking decidedly frazzled today because his best friend is currently eleven years old and kind of a brat. HOPE YOU'RE WELL-STOCKED.]

[wingenvy]

Hey, Richard. You look about the same as I feel right now. Everything okay?

[Action]

[ledbythewind]

[At that, Richard looks up and smiles.]

What do you know about looking after children?

[Action]

[wingenvy]

Oh man, are you ever asking the wrong guy. I'm terrible with kids.

[slaying]

Needs more charismatic punning. I'd give you a seven out of ten for that there announcement, Zack!

[ voice ]

[wingenvy]

Hey, give me a break. It's been a rough couple of weeks.

[UNDERSTATEMENT. OF. CENTURY.]

[slaying]

Wise-cracking under duress is a sign of good character. I should know. Also? Cathartic. Come on. Give it a try.

[ voice ]

[wingenvy]

Haha, sorry... I'm not so good at that. I don't think anybody can match you in that corner, Buffy.

[godbent]

Sure do! I even have some basic blueprints and a lot of outlines to consider!

[Filter]

[wingenvy]

Great! I can get the rest of the guild mobilized to take care of it pretty soon.

[Filter]

[godbent]

Glad to hear it! This sort of outsourcing is mutual beneficial, after all.

[Filter]

[wingenvy]

No kidding! Be sure to give a good recommendation to some of your clients.

[Well, Zack did tell him to stop by once he was settled. So, that's exactly what Yuri's going to do - stop in Good Spirits and head straight for the bar counter. He looks pretty neutral, but ... yeah, after everything he remembered recently? He's gonna need a drink or two.]

[Action]

[wingenvy]

[Now you're a sight for sore eyes, Yuri. Zack waves as he heads over, leaning on the counter.]

Hey, good to see you again! What can I get you?

[Action]

[once_knighted]

[Nonchalant shrug goes here.]

I don't know ... something strong, but not to the point where I'll end up walking into things.

[He's nowhere near annoyed enough to get plastered or anything close to that. But after everything he remembered ... yeah, a beer or two isn't going to cut it.]

[Action]

[wingenvy]

Gotcha. [Zack gets to mixing, putting together one of the bar specials for him.] So, you feeling any better lately?
