Why aren't all of you wearing white? I want to see those leopard-print bras and Superman boxers. What a rip-off today has been.

My hair is frizzy for no good reason.

And if I find a single one of you has gotten my cat wet, there will be hell to pay and you should all be aware of it. She is somewhat dry clean only.

You want to see Superman boxers? I think I'm declaring those a crime against nature.

[justashow]

It's only a disorder if you can damage yourself with it. Which you can't.

[winewomenand]

Kyle. You're learning.

[justashow]

It doesn't mean your allowed to toss the tortilla chips I put at your elbow while you drink the bar out of business.

[winewomenand]

You would have to serve something more worthwhile. Stuffed jalapenos, maybe. Or buffalo wings.

Out of business? You should consider me a unique opportunity to learn how to handle a stressful rate of product movement.

[justashow]

It is pointless making good food available at a bar. No one eats, save those with a craving for peanuts.

I handle it by closing ship at three a.m. and kicking you out to go bother the early morning crowd.

[winewomenand]

I eat when I drink.

And the early crowd loves me.

I am not asking Niko to hire a four star chef just to cater to you.

Stingy.

He has been sleeping more lately, by the way. Rafferty Jeftichew showed up the other night. His ass took long enough to make a lauded appearance.

[justashow]

Who on earth is Rafferty Jeftichew and should I be worried?

[winewomenand]

He is nobody but a useful nobody. From back home.

And you should be dreadfully worried because he can make you piss yourself on command and has no compunctions about not doing so. Luckily, he did what he could and got the hell out of town.

[justashow]

I'm not going to worry about sudden forced incontinence from someone who isn't here anymore.

Did what he could with what?

[winewomenand]

What he could do with the only thing that matters.

[justashow]

Is he going to be okay now?

[winewomenand]

I don't know. It's never occurred to me to become a physician.

He'd better, as he has a brother to return to and raise up right. Gods only know what would become of Caliban with Promise and I to look after him.

[justashow]

And I would add my speculations if the thought of you and Miss Nottinger playing house with Cal didn't make me want to double over in launghter.

Niko will be fine, if only to prevent that horror.
