Not to take any thunder from Delight-- [Too soon?] --but got to thinking over the last few days...
Managing the bar wasn't so bad. Actually, um. Sort of liked it? Would like to keep it going, but the only problem is a lack of supplies and some equipment and stuff. Was also thinking of something less like a bar and more of a stage lounge, for anyone who's more musically inclined. [Unlike Rey and, well -- more like her girlfriend. Maybe.]
In return, it'd be helpful to you as well. You wouldn't have to manage it, and we can provide all the brew once we have everything we need. Alcohol is a depressant, too. Not that it makes you sad, but if you drink while in a certain mood, it tends to heighten that emotion. So with the right atmosphere, right music, right disposition...
You're saying that I would take up Delight's position in supplying the bar, in exchange for no more power than I was already given when the bar was previously open?
[He's not being harsh, but the proposition isn't quite as appealing to him as it could be. If they have a location and management then it wouldn't nearly be the investment that Delight had, but the continued supply might be annoying.]
[At least she's used to harsh. Pretty much expects it from someone like Sorrow.]
Not really. Am saying you simply supply the means for a lounge -- and allow us to be in charge of replenishing the resources with them ourselves. Self-reliance.
Unless there is something else you'd like in return.
Yes, am familiar with the process, as are a few others who are interested in working on it.
You don't have to do anything. Just give us the means of fixing the place up the way we need it, and we'll do all the work. Hell, all things considered it'll keep us busy and we could use the distraction.

It's a win-win, really.

[That's interesting.]
If I didn't have to supply it, I might be more interested.

[voice]
[He agrees. Rey does have a point about it being low-effort with a decent payoff.]
Tell me what you'll need as you go along. I'll take care of it.
[voice]
...Thank you.
Will send you a list of things. Everything else after that, we can handle on our own.
