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.

[He had no doubt that her memories would return eventually, but if he had to suffer through these delusions, he would make certain that she would as well. This place had few draw-backs, and this just happened to be one of them.]

Everyone has a price they are willing to take, yes. It's about finding what that is if your cause is great enough to require it. Otherwise, it is down to connections. [Who to ask for in order to achieve a goal. If it was a party, one went with a party organizer with clout. If it was freeing a city, it was a dictator that had the capacity to hold it all together to see it through.]

Of course. She speaks highly of you to me. [A lie. He'd live it even if it disgusted him. He'd spoken worse words to someone.]

[A part of her wants to argue that, but it's true, isn't it? Marcus might've been swayed by money in the beginning, but it was his daughter that kept him loyal in the end. She had no doubt that Vi would do a lot, if Jinx's safety was on the line. And honestly, she herself would go to a lot of ends of the earth to keep Vi safe, too.]

That means a lot. She's always spoken highly of you, too. [or did. before whatever got under her skin all of a sudden. Which, speaking of... ]

I should probably let you go. I'm going to talk to her and get to the bottom of this, and she'll be here any minute. But thank you, for taking the time to talk to me. [y'know, because she's an Enforcer. As much as Jinx hates her, she except Silco to feel somewhat the same.]

[Had she? That was quite the reversal. This memory altering was quite the predicament to have to endure, as he expected Vi had never had anything high to say about him. No, they were always on a crash course but had the ability to walk away previously.]

It is good to know that. Sometimes one never knows what their daughter is thinking. [He was talking about Jinx, of course. She was a teenage - young adult - girl and that was confusing to say the least. She liked tinkering, clothes, boys and causing chaos.]

Of course. Do calm her down. [That seemed partially like the enforcer's power anyway.]
