[doublesmall]

hey, retrospec. been a while since I put anything out here, huh?

first off, I'll be opening up the Inkwell to everyone this Friday night and we'll be closed the rest of the weekend. it's my birthday this weekend so we're disrupting business as usual for it-- don't think that means you get to drink if you're underage, I'm still enforcing that shit, but considering it's more of a party than a work night? I don't care who shows up. just have an ID on you if you're over 21.

related to the Inkwell, we're always open to more staff, so if you know how to mix a drink, let's talk. security's also an option, but we're not a dive here, you're gonna need to know how to be professional about it on the clock... oh, yeah, and support staff never hurts. glasses pile up faster than you'd think.

and on the more personal side, I'm open if you need: a vocalist, a lyricist, or a fight partner. my band finally called it quits (not that they ever did much) so my creative time's freed up, and I've got gravity manipulation if you need to practice fighting someone with abilities. if you want a teacher you're probably better off finding somebody more used to that, but I'll give most things a shot, you know?

any questions, ask me here, or send me a message if you'd rather chat in private.

I honestly have no idea how awkward this is going to be after their event thread

[thesettingsun]

That reminds me that I need to have your birthday gift ready. Your birthday's Sunday, right?

[doublesmall]

it is-- you know you don't have to give me anything just because I'm your boss, though.

[thesettingsun]

I hadn't even considered that. Obviously I'm getting you something because you're my friend?

[crudest]

don't offer to teach anyone anything you fake

[doublesmall]

excuse the fuck out of you, if I were faking gravity manipulation could we have gone skydiving without dying

and if I were faking being able to fight could I have kicked your ass

[crudest]

you can't teach someone gravity manipulation chuu

and i bet your idea of teaching someone to fight is just "come at me" and seeing how it goes

[eyestitch]

hey, hey! baren, hey!

did he get permission for all of this?

[crudest]

i'd do a lot of things for you, lovely
sleeping on the couch for 2 weeks is not one of them

[eyestitch]

whooooooa! your owner gave you permission to do that and everything??

i'll be sure to stop by!

[She's assuming she still has drinking privileges after that whole nearly-dying thing last year.]

[doublesmall]

I'm the business owner, I can do whatever the hell I want.

[she's not wrong... he'll let her sneak a few.]

[eyestitch]

i wasn't talking about THAT owner, silly goose!

[adoringpast]

oh hey, advance happy bday chuuya-san

i didn't know you sing? since when were you in a band??

[doublesmall]

I've been in one since college, technically, they just never bother doing anything

our schedules never lined up, anyway.

[adoringpast]

yeah, i get that
what with growing up and moving on to jobs and whatever

so what kind of music do you do anyway?

[ he's highly curious now?? tell him everything chuu-san ]

[roseblooms]

In other words, I should be on standby for a frantic text at 11:01 PM come Friday night.

Duly noted.

[doublesmall]

nah, don't worry, you're safe.

my birthday is Sunday, you'll wanna be on standby Saturday night.

[crudest]

FUCK OFF

[floret]

Oh, the Inkwell! Mr. Oda works there, right?

[doublesmall]

yeah, he's one of my employees

I'm guessing you're a friend of his?

[yakan]

happy early birthday!!

i play both shamisen and koto if youre ever interested in those instruments
i could do without the violence though the grav manip is cool

[doublesmall]

hey, thanks

and I might get in touch with you if I ever need those for a song, I don't do much composition myself but I'm always in for mixing things up.

[informantic]

Happy birthday, Chuuya.

[He's trying.]

[doublesmall]

you could say so on the day itself, you know?

well-- assuming you found it out.

[kagepuro]

what if I'm not over 21

[doublesmall]

just don't try to sneak drinks and you're fine.

and don't try to sneak in on other days either, this is just kind of a special occasion.

[and also his niece is like 16 he can't ban her from his own birthday...]
