I know it's not much, but any victims of the recent tragedy can make a reservation at Nakiba and we'll feed you a meal on the house. I don't like people like that, but I'm a chef so there's not really anything else to do except be very clear about one thing:

[ She points at the screen with a pout on her lips. ]

You're definitely not allowed in Nakiba, red-headed jerkface. I hate you.

[ Stickin' it to the man by Alice Nakiri. ]

Also, I've been working on two new cocktails to add to our menu, so anyone can come in and try it if they'd like. They're called Miracle Cocktails, so if anyone's interested in trying new alcohol experiences or flavor tripping, come on by. We'll have a special non-reservation tasting tonight after the restaurant closes.

Bye!

action for anyone who wants to get buzzed/flavor trip
[ After hours, as stated, Alice has a table set up with a load of empty glasses. She's serving three different cocktails and making them upon request: A gin and tonic on the rock, a hot toddy, and a margarita. In each of the drinks, drinkers may notice that there's an ice cube that looks like its full of pink crystals. Don't worry- it's no drug, it's a crystallized and frozen berry. Alice warns drinkers not to drink too fast, to take their time, or it'll be a waste. After about ten minutes, the berry ice melts enough and begins its work- turning off sour and bitterness receptors in the tastebuds using a chemical that naturally occurs in it called miraculin- the substance for which the name "Miracle Berry" comes from. The drinks that started off sour, bitter, and salty taste entirely different despite no changing ingredients. The gin and tonic tastes like a Sloe Gin Screw, the Hot Toddy seems to have miraculously changed into an Arnold Palmer, and the margarita suddenly seems more like a Tequila Sunrise. ]

It lasts somewhere between thirty minutes and two hours, but if you have something else to taste, we have hot tea being served to-go as a palate cleanser.

[ Alice assures someone as she hands them their drink. The berry is pretty strong though- if they wanted to have a laugh with their friends by drinking apple cider vinegar, it's just taste like apple juice while the berry's effects were in play. ]

{ OOC NOTE: More info on flavor tripping if anyone wants to know. }

[ Mayu checked the network right after waking up. The enormity of what happened hasn't fully sunken in.]

Brother and I are back from the Dream Docks.

Is anyone back from the dead yet?

Private to Manga House residents and Sand Gym employees


Did he get any of you? Is there any way I can help anyone?


[ Mayu is not going to assume that Battler posted all of his victims. It's only natural to worry.]

[When the feed starts up, Gale is lounging incorrectly in his glass chair, his legs dangling over the arm. Despite the mask over his face, he almost seems distracted. Music played in the background as usual since he was again broadcasting from After Life. For people in the club, he can be found looking at his device in one of the more dimly lit corners of the club, a margarita resting on the table in front of him.]

Followin' in the footsteps of Nakiba, After Life will be offering free drinks for the rest of the month. Doesn't matter who you are, just show your pendant. Rules of the club still apply and we still reserve the right to throw you out on your ass if you get too plastered and start bein' a nuisance.

Prism will also be available at all times 'till the end of the month instead of only Fridays.

[He understands that others will likely be affected in different ways because of that messed up broadcast. He still remembers Athrun's face clearly that very same day. He wants After Life to remain a place to unwind, especially if circumstances are a little... tougher this time.]

I'm sure I don't need to repeat myself since I know you guys aren't idiots, but remember drinks are free the rest of the month. That goes for you guys too. Food prices still apply though. Patrons just gotta show pendants since I doubt the regular city folk are gonna be affected by things. Profit losses will come out of my pocket, so your paychecks won't be affected.

[Bounty hunts and his Aster job made that easily doable. He pauses and leans his head back.]

And Ivina's gone. I'm now the sole owner of the place. I may have to hire a manager to help handle the place when I've got my other work to do. If any of you want to take that up, I'm leavin' the offer open to you all first.

That said, if any of you need to take time off, take it. You'll still get paid leave 'till you're ready to come back.

[He knows Yang in particular is acquainted with Weiss, so the offer was made mostly for her, but he wants to keep an eye on the rest of his staff too to make sure they're in stable states as well.]
