[After taking two weeks to familiarize himself with the city, Majima doesn't feel all that much less out of his depth than he did when he got there. He's memorized some of the streets and alleys, learned some local lingo, and most importantly, started to scout out some of the clubs in the entertainment district. If he doesn't get a job to occupy himself soon, he's going to go nuts.

He's got some ideas of where to look, but some of the clubs seem a bit more... permissive than he's used to. Majima doesn't quite get the network stuff yet, but it seems like a good place to poll for info.]

So has anyone out there found some decent places to go drinkin' yet? 'Cause if they need bouncers, seems like a good enough way to pay rent eventually.

[His ambitions are slightly higher than that, but always a good way to get a foot in the door if you know how to kick people out of it.]

And I wouldn't mind knowin' what's the closest thing this planet's got to whiskey, either.

[beatupgrass]

Aw come on man. Why do we need bouncers?

audio;

[hannya]

'Cause apparently drunk assholes exist on any planet?

[beatupgrass]

But you don't understand, sir. [that was one hell of a facetious "sir."] Being an asshole is at least half the fun of being drunk. And if you're too much of an asshole, it's up to your buddies to handle it. That's why you don't drink alone. Putting a third party in there who doesn't know you or how much is too much just complicates the whole system.

[hannya]

No need for formality, pal. I ain't hired yet. [Just a slight bit of his own edge to that.]

Nothin' wrong with gettin' a little loose. But if you think everyone takes the time to pull a buddy system together, you ain't been to a lot of bars.

Well... there was that stuff that they gave us back at the first town.

I don't know how that compares to whiskey, though?

audio;

[hannya]

I don't even know if that shit was legal.

[Not that... he didn't drink plenty of it, but that's not the issue here.]

[ayes]

Wait, you think there was something illegal about it, too?

What makes it different from normal liquor?

[hannya]

[Wait a minute.]

You even old enough to be drinkin'?

The closest I've gotten tastes like somebody soaked asparagus in bourbon

audio;

[hannya]

[He isn't sure he's ever had asparagus but that sounds awful regardless.]

That was on shelf in a bar? [An audible sigh.] What the shit.

[barreling]

I know, right?

I mean it was a bottom shelf, but still.

[hannya]

To kick it on the floor, I hope.

Everyone keeps talking about whiskey. Sounds like something a girl's got to try.

audio;

[hannya]

[He hadn't even considered a world without it, which probably says more about him than anything else.]

It ain't for everybody, but it's definitely worth tryin'.

[Not for you pertaining to how bad your night goes after drinking too much of it, rather than taste. But whatever.]

audio;

[motivation]

I'm getting that impression. [ the worth trying one — though dutch has a pretty solid tolerance for alcohol, given how regularly she drinks. ]

Any luck finding it yet?

audio;

[hannya]

Best thing I've got is whatever the hell they had at the outpost, though that felt more like three shots of it laced with somethin'. Ain't exactly a sippin' drink.

[A pause.]

Not half bad, though.

Audio

[cariad]

Don't mind me, I'm just here taking notes.

[Seems that someone misses drinking, too]

So let me know if you find anything good.

Audio

[hannya]

Funny how people care more about booze than workin'.

[He should've figured that, honestly.]

Not much stronger than what they had at the outpost yet. That's probably a good thing, though.

Audio

[cariad]

I care plenty about working, but I'm not sure I'll be any good as a bouncer.

But I do have a couple of friends in mind for a job like that.

Audio; Hello fellow jobless bored civilian

[smithandwesson]

From what I saw this damn place has a selection of drinks. And all of them are a hell of a lot more potent than anything that existed where I'm from. Not sure if any of it is comparable to whiskey though.

The people here must have the livers of gods.

As for bars, there are some pretty good low-level dive bars along the market if you know where to look. The red light has more activity and busier business stuff, but it's also creepy.

audio; totally regular civilian here

[hannya]

No kiddin'. Any more of that outpost shit and I'd probably be in a coma.

[Granted, he didn't have to drink as much of it as he did, but. Details.]

The market, huh? [He sighs at the mention of the red light district.] Well, I ain't gonna say creepy. [You learn to check judgments at the door when you're forced to run a hostess club.] Definitely more, uh. Permissive than what I'm used to.

audio; yes yes we are all just completely normal people

[smithandwesson]

It sneaks up on you too. It doesn't taste as strong as it actually is so the next thing you know you're absolutely shit-faced.

And that red light district is absolutely creepy.

[Excuse you, he will kink shame as he pleases.]

What I wouldn't give to find a regular fucking bathhouse in this city. But no, all we're stuck with are the ones that are over there.

[He shudders thinking about what else besides bath water you'd be soaking in while going to one of those.]

audi; un: m.murdock

[ghettobatman]

Let me know if you find anything in the way of bars. I'd love a drink.

[more like he needs a drink]

audio;

[hannya]

Hearin' about a few outside the red light district, unless that's your thing.

[He's not gonna judge.]

What, you didn't try that poison at the outpost? [A pause.] It wasn't all that bad.

audio;

[ghettobatman]

I wasn't that hard up, at the time.

[but he is now????]

I'm not too picky right now, if you're looking for company.
