Video / Action for the bar

[ Izumo's on the network today to ask one short and simple question: ]

Anyone seen that idiot Yata Misaki around?

There doesn't seem to be much of a pattern. Some people seem like they've been here forever, others don't stay too long.

...of course, there are a lot of people who keep coming back, too.

[chainsmoke_king]

Ah.

[ That knowledge is both reassuring and unnerving. To think that any one of them could be brought here - or taken away - at any moment. ]

Guess that's better than him gettin' in trouble here.

[fightforastar]

[She offers him a rueful smile.]

Does he have a habit of that?

[chainsmoke_king]

Yeah. Doesn't really think things through before acting. Toss a short temper in there with it and he can be a bit of a handful.

[ And back home, there's at least another seven boys to keep an eye on who are just the same - eight if you count Mikoto! - and that's just the ones who tend to hang around the bar all the time... ]

[fightforastar]

I know the type.

[Hence some of the damage to her own bar, actually...]

You look out for him, huh?

[chainsmoke_king]

We all look out for each other. Always been that way.

Hope he got home alright, if that's really what's goin' on.

[fightforastar]

Me, too.

[At least it sounds like going home isn't a bad thing for these guys. She's found that's not always the case.]

[chainsmoke_king]

Thanks for the help, Tifa.

Hey, you should stop by the bar sometime. I'd still love to have ya on staff.

[fightforastar]

I was going to.

But you know, Johnny has this bar he's looking to hand off to someone else. I've been thinking about that, too.

[chainsmoke_king]

So you'd rather be my competition, huh?

[ He gives a lighthearted chuckle. ]

Alright, as long as you don't steal all my business.

[fightforastar]

If I do, it'll be your own fault for not stepping it up.

It's a smaller place than yours anyway. All your business might not fit.

[chainsmoke_king]

Challenge accepted, then. That is, so long as you at least come in and let me fix you a drink once and awhile.

[fightforastar]

That's fair.

I hope you'll stop by my place once in a while, too. Never hurts to check out the competition.
