I've finally been let out of Pepper's so called "prison", and I'm feeling antsy.

Who's up for a few rounds, and few being applied very liberally, at the Black Cat? I think I've made enough schematics to last a lifetime.

Rounds of what?

[noironman]

Alcohol, what else?

[mentis_reae]

Oh. I though Naturally. "What else" indeed, coming from you?

[noironman]

Precisely! Drinking alone just doesn't have the fun it had when I was younger, and I've been having far too much of that lately.

[mentis_reae]

Perhaps you might not drink altogether.

[noironman]

That is even worse.

[mentis_reae]

Yes. Terrible to have a clear mind.

[noironman]

Now, now. There's nothing wrong with enjoying oneself when the work is all done, is there?

[mentis_reae]

I suppose technically there is not. Save that even free hours can be used productively.

[noironman]

Well you never know how much I can accomplish during that kind of time, do you?

[mentis_reae]

I do not generally consider "singing drunkenly" an accomplishment.

[noironman]

Good! I don't sing.

[mentis_reae]

Making a public nuisance of yourself, then.

[noironman]

Now that can't possibly be it. My money alone probably keeps businesses open for the night, and wages for all of their workers. If I were a small businessman, I'd welcome men like me.

[mentis_reae]

Perhaps you might donate to the businesses, then, if your altruism runs so high.

[noironman]

Good sir, you can't be serious. Giving to charity is one thing, but making charity cases of businesses?
