expiationnet | 04. Video; Now Presenting...

[The video opens with Silco standing in front of an new establishment in the entertainment district. There is the sound of renovations coming from within, a pile of old debris and broken items off the side that will be repurposed. Still, the sign is lit up announcing the place.

Silco gestured with a hand at the new establishment, the corner of his mouth twitching in what might be his version of a smile.]

This is The Last Drop, a bar from my home in The Lanes. I have been blessed to have it brought here for all of you to enjoy with me. A little taste of my home called Zaun, and it is as rough as it is eclectic.

[He turned to look at the place as the sounds of hammering and saws continued inside. He didn't even seem annoyed at all.]

Apologies on the noise, but it's not in the state I previously left it due to a ruffian having a fight inside before it arrived here. It's unfortunate, but not unexpected given where it came from. Some people can't handle their liquor and emotions at the same time.

Anyway, The Last Drop will be open to serve the community of Aldrip in one week's time. I invite all of you to attend the grand opening. It will be quite the party.

and if i want to share it? then what, huh?

That outcome depends on whom you wish to share it with.

u know who.

That is not someone I would share living or business space with.

vi and i were raised in the last drop together! its just as much as hers and it is to me! she should have something. vi proved me enough that she does care for me or at least trying!

You think you two were the only ones that found salvation in youth there? She has her enforcer.

[ no reply, but message is being said she read it. ]

what if i take over the last drop instead?

For what point and purpose?

i was talking to vi. she said she'll stop, if you stop. she wants me to convince u to give her the last drop. i told her i wont do that and i tried to explain that no matter what she thinks, u deserve it too. after all the work u put into the place and keeping it from rotting. she doesnt see it that way. but theres one thing the two of u have both said to me. that the last drop is my home. its the only thing so far that u two agree on. so. if im in charge of the last drop, then neither of u will have to fight over who it belongs to. and i do remember how to run my café so. it cant be THAT different? maybe, i dont know, i was thinking one week u help me with stuff and then another week, she can help me. just alternate the work load.

And what is it that I am supposed to be stopping exactly? Are you suggesting a custody battle that ends withg a business where you are the intermediary and we have to share you and the property?

[Surely she was jesting.]

i dont know. and... yea?

And if I refuse?

then the two of u can kill each other over the stupid place. see if i care.

Very well.

very well what? to killing each other or me taking it over?

I'm not relinquishing the Last Drop at this time.

fine. ure so full of it, silco. u talk all this crap how i will rule this place some day or take over whatever business u want me to control. but when it boils down to it? u dont want to hand me over anything.

I have an accepted bid for ownership of the Forge to provide you access to materials, bullets and weapons. It's yours if you want it.

oh GREAT! thats awesome news!! maybe with that, i can make an avalanche of bullets and dump in the Last Drop. that way no one can get in or out and everyone can suffocate so we can all stop fighting over it.

Perhaps you should take some time to consider the offer seriously.

take some time? oh, i'll show u "take some time". enjoy being buried in paperwork all night. go marry it while ure at it.

Yes, you'll show me. I will see you in a day or two then.

[Not his first rodeo.]
