Hey there, Luceti! Name's Zack. Just wanna toss in the usual mention to newcomers that the local bar, Good Spirits, is in the plaza, and it's pretty much always open if you're in need of a little something to take the edge off. We serve more than booze, so don't worry if you're underage. I run the place, along with Shizuo and the lovely ladies Buffy and Meryl. Feel free to stop by anytime!

[Filtered to Haruhi]

Just checking in to see if you've got the details for the Brave Vesperia job. Yuri's back, so he'll probably be taking over soon, but I figure I may as well handle this one first.

[AND WITH THAT DONE... Since Cloud's arrival, Zack has been giving some serious thought to his weaponry. With Cloud trying to stake his claim on the Buster sword, and Zack needing some way to break the tension, it's probably about time to make a peace offering. First things first, though- he heads over to the weapon shop to visit a blacksmith. After that, he'll head to Cloud's apartment, Buster sword in hand.

Feel free to bump into him wherever! Alternatively, use this as a mingling bar post. IT IS QUITE OPEN I SAY.]

Fine, I'll be awaiting you at the HQ!

Got it!

[And he will be there within the hour.]

[Good man! She'll be on the couches on the opening desk side of the shower curtain dividing the Brigade room right now. Waiting for him to show up with her diagram of the plan for expansion next to her on the coffee table]

[And here he shows! Poking his head through the doorway and lifting a hand to greet her.]

Hey, I made it! What've you got?

[Man that guy as weird hair. he's also tall. Anyway, she nods and points at the coffee table]

Yeah, I've got something here.

[Ooh, diagrams. Zack scoots right over to crouch beside the table, peering at what she's got written down.]

Hey, you've put a lot of work into this.

[the plan, of course, is more detailed version of this, noting doors, walls, and where additions/edits would need to be made. Without furniture]

I'll be tight on the neighboring buildings.

I think we can manage it anyway. If we need to tweak things a little here or there, I don't think it'll ruin the design or anything.

Good. [A beat] ...Jeez though, you guys get a lot of carpentry projects now I think of it.

[.........

Sob.]

Yeah... yeah, we do.

...Well I guess that means you're good at it at least.

If we have to be, yeah. [Siiiiigh. He's so resigned to it now.] Well, I'll try to get the gang all organized, though we might have to wait until our fearless leader is up to the task now that he's back. I think we can get started on it before the place gets too snowy, though.

If the snow does get there, I bet there's someone who can make an isolated heat bubble or something, but I agree.

I'll have to ask around. There's BV members who know magic, so maybe one of 'em can pull it off.

Mm. Good, good.

[she nods, looking back down at the plans. Yes, this'll be a change.]

You mind if I take these so I can show the rest of the group, or do you need to keep them?

Nah, I don't need them - even if I did-

[Oh wait, the curtains are in the way when she goes to point. she flushes, briefly, and looks back at Zack]

there's a photocopier behind the curtains.

Oh, great! This should be fine for now. I'll come back if we need more. [He rolls up the sheet, straightening up.] Anything else you need?

[She stands too, to give a little polite bow-] No, just if you can get this done without messing with our operation here too much will be more than enough.

We'll get right on it, boss. [And he's off!]
