Don't bother the techs.

Seriously, don't. I'm not entirely sure what's going on but all I'm getting is that it's the equivalent of being hacked and someone who knows layer theory better than we do is out there screwing things up and tampering with the project.

I don't have a really good update for you guys, but bear with us. Please?

Yeah, and the company's approval rating is just through the roof right now.

No idea. Makes sense to me that there's way more non-humans than humans in the whole universe, but I don't even know if that's part of it or if we're all just drowning in that same kind of luck.

maybe it's both
at least there's a bunch of us to commiserate together, I guess

Yeah. Whole bunch of weirdos and freaks getting in one place together to be sad about it.

Fuck, we're in a John Hughes movie, aren't we.

damn
here I was thinking it was probably some kind of horror film, but that sounds like a possibility, too

Could be one that turns into the other. I've seen some of the shit in the woods and it's definitely horror out there.

in the woods?
I'm not much of an outdoorsy person but now I'm curious
and a little afraid

Dragons -- little high fantasy, sure. Giant frogs that hide underground and try to eat you. Cows that steal your wallet. Big-ass elephants. It's surrealist horror, maybe.

man
I think it's gotten worse since the time these weird monkey things attacked me and this girl with rocks

Oh, wild, haven't run into those yet. Maybe I'm getting lucky.

Things are definitely getting more dangerous out there one way or another. Guess it's a good thing some of us are getting more dangerous, too, since I haven't met anyone who actually wants to fuck with all of us yet.

sounds like it

I wonder how we haven't been so unlucky as to have those things swarm the city?
or maybe that's spoilers for later

If it wasn't before, it probably is now. I'll get my sword and find a pinata store to practice. Gotta be a ton of those things on clearance from last month.

maybe we should try and round some of them up
I'm not a fighter, I'm just a guy who owns a bar, but it sure sounds like a disaster waiting to happen leaving them alone

Tell you what. I can get to rounding some of these things up and taking care of them, and then I'll head over to your bar and drink myself into oblivion.

that sounds like a fair trade to me
I'll give you a nice discount

[She'll get directions to a bar called Providence.

Because of course it has a shitty name.]

I appreciate it. I'll be sure to tip like even more of a motherfucker than usual. Fuck, I have a rough enough time out there with the monsters and I might just hand you my wallet and tell you to keep 'em coming.

it sounds like it
hell, I wish I could help you out
it's kind of boring just being a barman sometimes

I get that. But the world needs people like you, first off. Second, I did all kinds of retail and customer service bullshit for, like, eight years before I could start doing stuff around here like I actually wanted to do. Might take a while, but you'll probably get some way to help out the way you want.

fingers crossed that I remember something useful
but until they, my bar will have to do
