[It's night. Eater, dressed in his usual, looks distinctly annoyed.]

Alcohol. I want to get some and I want to drink some in the company of people who will not use any feminine words for me like 'babe', ask me what I'm doing in a place like this, or express a desire for me to flash my tits.

I mean, it's not like I don't flash my tits sometimes - a guy who is given breasts should take advantage and I have to say they're pretty nice - I just don't want it to be a required part of my getting wasted experience.

The bar with the creepy bartender is not an option.

"Not yet", he says. How long've you been here for?

[harpbeat]

Hm, lemme think... Two months.

[athngabla]

That's not very long, all things considered. You really do have a case of wanderlust, don't you?

[harpbeat]

She's even worse about it than I am.

[athngabla]

Sounds like it's something you can both agree on, anyway.

[If he was to be honest, he wasn't quite sure what to make of someone in possession of two minds within the same body.

If he was to continue being honest, that wouldn't really stop him from treating that person like he would anyone else.]

I'd give you tips about how to make a Persona show up quicker, but I can't say they'd do you any good. Seems different for everyone, from what I've heard.

[harpbeat]

I'd still listen. Couldn't hurt. [And he'd get made fun of for having a harp as his weapon less?]

[athngabla]

[A shrug.] I kept being told "when you're in mortal danger" when I arrived. Thing is, mine showed up during...

[HE paused a moment. What would he call that, anyway?]

A moment of nostalgia, I guess.

[harpbeat]

Huh. I'm not sure what would call that back, but thanks for the help.

[athngabla]

[He shrugged again, grinning.]

Like I said, different ways for different people. I wouldn't count on "mortal danger" doing it, personally.

[Mostly because he didn't think anything could put him in mortal danger in Prospero.]

[harpbeat]

That's a shame, I like getting into fights for no reason.

[athngabla]

Oh? While I prefer having a reason, myself, I never said you shouldn't just start a brawl.

[A beat.]

Except here and now. I'd rather not mix business and fun.

[harpbeat]

Right, right. Wasn't planning to mess up a good time here.

[athngabla]

Quite the contrary. I haven't gotten to flex my muscle to break up a bar fight here, yet. There's just not enough people around right now for everyone involved to enjoy themselves properly.

[harpbeat]

That's pretty sad. I'll have to stop by again when there's more people about.

[athngabla]

Heh, I'll make sure to give you a call when it happens. You said nighttime was your share of the daily quota, right?

[harpbeat]

Sundown to sunrise.

[athngabla]

Perfect timing, then.

[harpbeat]

Peak bar hours. Sometimes I wonder what lunch is like, though.

[athngabla]

That probably depends on the person. For me? Same thing as supper, maybe a bit lighter.

[He shrugs.]

[harpbeat]

I'm going to walk into a twenty-four hour place and make them regret they'd ever decided that it would be a good business decision.

[athngabla]

Testing the limits to a declaration of "all-you-can-eat"?

...No offense, but you don't look physically capable to run a place like that outta business.

[harpbeat]

You're going to want to change your opinion of that.

[athngabla]

"Appearances can be deceiving" is one of those proverbs I'm well aware of.

[harpbeat]

They could've made it up about me.

[He tugs a little at one of his ribbons.]

[athngabla]

I kinda figured as much.

[Ah. Fresh drink? Fresh drink.]

Now that I actually take time to think about it, I'm guessing you get that a lot. My apologies.
