04. Video; Now Presenting...

[conflictresolution]

[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.

Gah, I get it, I get it! Just... don't make this any more awkward than it needs to be.

[ Apparently, all one needs to do to make things "awkward" for him is to show him some common human decency. He's not used to that. ]

[conflictresolution]

Would you prefer if I added some insults to lessen the bar of decency?

[rebellions]

Kinda, yeah.

[ That would be something familiar, at least... It takes a couple of seconds for him to register just how stupid that is. ]

Wait, no. That'd just piss me off.

[ The man is full of contradictions. ]

[conflictresolution]

Excellent, I'll be certain to call you brute from now on, and I won't ask for permission to provide comforts.

[rebellions]

WHO THE HELL ARE YOU CALLING A BRUTE, OLD MAN?!

[ It's almost comical how easy it is to get him to blow up like that. ]

Tch, fine by me! I'm not asking for anything anyway!!

[conflictresolution]

You. I already said as much.

You don't need to ask. I'll decide for you in that case. Jinx will help, so who knows what you will receive.

[rebellions]

[ ... Why does it feel like he's signed himself up for some real mess? ]

Just... make sure she doesn't come up with anything too crazy...?

[ He does remember her setting up a dating profile for her old man, after all. ]

[conflictresolution]

I will do my best to reign her in, but I make no guarantees.

[This is the kind of mess you get associating with this family, sorry, not sorry.]
