002: [visual & location: Merlotte's]
"Wish somebody had had the good sense to include an instruction manual with this glorified Gameboy..."
These are the faintly audible irritated mutterings of Sookie, before the visual feed comes on properly and she appears, a pleasantly surprised yet slightly self-conscious smile on her face. Clearly visible in the background is an apparently very well-stocked bar, all shiny polished bottles, and she's seated in front of it, on a stool. She clears her throat a little nervously, before commencing.
"Umm, hi, I won't take up too much of your time-- I know there's a lot of people here I haven't had the chance to talk to yet, but I'm Sookie Stackhouse, and I just wanted to let y'all know that I brought a bar with me. Here to Taxon, that is. I used to-- I work here." She gestures behind her illustratively, as she talks.
"It's called Merlotte's and it's located in... Osten, I think? It's not especially remarkable, but it's a nice place to come for a drink, and I'd sure appreciate the custom." A short pause, before she corrects herself. "Or, y'know, not custom exactly, because there's no real economy here, but the company would certainly be welcome. I'll be waitin' the tables."
She stops as though that's all she's going to say, before she suddenly adds: "Oh! And I almost forgot-- if anybody's lookin' for a job, or a way to keep busy, at least? I could use the staff, and the hours would be completely flexible."
...And with a final satisfied nod, she's done.
