[SHAKE:][XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] WAAAAAH!![XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] Sorry, did I wake you up?[XS:dantalk,0][XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] I-I wasn't sleeping. My eyes were open![XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] You went to college, right? You know having #your eyes open means nothing.[XS:dantalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] Don't worry, I don't blame you. It's been a #really long time since we've had such a slow #night.[XS:dantalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] In fact, I think the last time we had a #night this slow was before you started working #here.[XS:dantalk,0][XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Really?[XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] Yeah, it happened when Robert was still #working here.[XS:next,1][XS:dantalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Who?[XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] My first employee. The poor idiot bought a #"levitation potion" and threw himself off a #building.[XS:dantalk,0][XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Oh...[XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] ...as it turned out, the potion actually #worked.[XS:dantalk,0][XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] ...come again?[XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] He started rising in the air... and #couldn't stop.[XS:dantalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] They later found his body smeared across #the nose of a commercial flight that was on its #way to Kanjevania.[XS:dantalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] But anyway...[XS:dantalk,0][XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] (Should you really dismiss that so easily?)[XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] We didn't have a single client that night. #Not even a lost soul asking for directions. But #then, suddenly, a kid shows up.[XS:dantalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] He was obviously underage, but I was bored, #so I decided to let him order something.[XS:dantalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] I gave him one Karmotrine-free drink. I #mean, even if I was letting him order, I wasn't #about to give alcohol to an underaged boy.[XS:dantalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] And then, when the time came for him to pay #his tab... he realized he didn't have enough #money.[XS:dantalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] He then yanked his shirt over his head, #started screaming he's a ghost, and tried to #escape![XS:dantalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] So, I kicked him so hard that he flew out #of the bar, and told him ghosts shouldn't feel #pain![XS:dantalk,0][XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] ...[STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] ...Boss, did you really kick an underage #kid?[XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] Of course not! I just gave him a warning #and made him wash a couple of dishes.[XS:dantalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] The fact that you even thought for a moment #that I would kick a young, innocent child hurts #me to no end, you know?[XS:dantalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] Anyway, just... keep it up. Someone will #show up sooner or later.[XS:dantalk,0][XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] I sure hope so.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] ...hoooooooold on. Come to think of it. #Aren't Gil's checks made out to "Robert"?[XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]

[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] *sigh* Well, at least that story killed a #couple of minutes...[STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] ...[STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] ...I think I'll... I don't know... sort the #glasses here or something.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] ...[STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] ...(Huh, we had a fedora-shaped glass?)[XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:antalk,1][C:41]???:[C:C] Um... Anybody here?[XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Ah! Sorry! I'll be right the [SHAKE:]- OUCH.[XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]

[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] I'm fine, yeah.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Welcome to Valhalla, what can I get... #you... um...[XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:anface,][XS:antalk,1][C:41]???:[C:C] Something wrong?[XS:antalk,0][XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Are you sure you're old enough to drink?[XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:anface,smug][XS:antalk,1][C:41]???:[C:C][XS:antalk,1] Well, seeing how I'm old enough to eat #solid food, I'm gonna guess that drinking won't #be a problem.[XS:antalk,0][XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] You know that's not what I meant.[XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:anface,happy][XS:antalk,1][C:41]???:[C:C] Yeah, yeah. I'm old enough to drink. I #turned 21 not too long ago, actually.[XS:next,1][XS:antalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] ...[STOPLIP:]
[XS:anface,][SHOW:185,glitch_control][P:30][XS:antalk,1][C:41]???:[C:C] Still don't believe me? What do you need me #to give you?[XS:antalk,0][XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] (I must be sleep-deprived or something.)[STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] (What's this... deja vu feeling though?)[STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] ...it's fine, don't worry.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] What can I get you?[XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:antalk,1][C:41]???:[C:C] I feel like having a Sugar Rush.[XS:antalk,0][XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]

[XS:antalk,1][C:41]???:[C:C] Yup, this is the stuff.[XS:antalk,0][XS:ph,3][E:3][STOPLIP:]
[V:5][RES:][XS:mix,0][XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Here.[XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]

[XS:anface,smug][XS:antalk,1][C:41]???:[C:C] Hoooold on, this doesn't have any alcohol, #does it?[XS:antalk,0][XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Nope.[XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:antalk,1][C:41]???:[C:C] You really think I'm underaged, don't you?[XS:antalk,0][XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Yup.[XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:anface,smugsmile][XS:antalk,1][C:41]???:[C:C] I'll have you know I'm old enough to get #pregnant.[XS:antalk,0][XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] That's... sadly not relevant here.[XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:anface,awayhalf][XS:antalk,1][C:41]???:[C:C] Ugh![XS:antalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:anface,away][XS:antalk,1][C:41]???:[C:C] On second thought, this is actually good.[XS:antalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:anface,sad][XS:antalk,1][C:41]???:[C:C] Err... I mean... Don't underestimate me![XS:antalk,0][XS:ph,3][E:4][STOPLIP:]
[V:5][RES:][XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Enjoy.[XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:antalk,1][C:41]???:[C:C] Thanks![XS:antalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:anface,happy][XS:antalk,1][C:41]???:[C:C][XS:anface,smug][XS:antalk,1] Um... this isn't a Sugar Rush.[XS:antalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:anface,away][XS:antalk,1][C:41]???:[C:C] *sniff* But it'll get me drunk, so it's fine #I guess.[XS:antalk,0][XS:ph,3][XS:mix,0][E:5][STOPLIP:]
[V:5][RES:][XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Enjoy.[XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:anface,happy][XS:antalk,1][C:41]???:[C:C] Thanks![XS:antalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:anface,][XS:antalk,1][C:41]???:[C:C] Um... this isn't a Sugar Rush.[XS:antalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:anface,smug][XS:antalk,1][C:41]???:[C:C] It doesn't even smell like it'll make me say #funny things![XS:antalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:antalk,1][C:41]???:[C:C] You think I'm underaged, don't you?[XS:antalk,0][XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Yup.[XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:anface,awayhalf][XS:antalk,1][C:41]???:[C:C] Ugh![XS:antalk,0][XS:ph,3][XS:mix,0][E:6][STOPLIP:]
[V:5][XS:anface,smugsmile][XS:antalk,1][C:41]???:[C:C] You know... I could've been lying through my #teeth.[XS:antalk,0][XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] ...[XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:antalk,1][C:41]???:[C:C] I could be an underaged liar. You could've #sold alcoholic drinks to an underage kid.[XS:antalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:antalk,1][C:41]???:[C:C] How would that make you feel?[XS:antalk,0][XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Meh...[XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:anface,][XS:antalk,1][C:41]???:[C:C] "Meh"?[XS:antalk,0][XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] I don't believe in the myth that kids don't #drink alcohol. I've met 16 year olds that drink #a lot more than I do.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Limiting the alcohol they can get is #necessary, but if you make it look like a #forbidden pleasure...[STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Well... you will only make them crave it #more.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Hell, I bet if you gave kids alcohol, #they'd start swearing off of it earlier.[XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:anface,smug][XS:antalk,1][C:41]???:[C:C] So you're fine with giving drinks to #underaged kids?[XS:antalk,0][XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] No, but if that were to happen, I wouldn't #get my panties in a bunch.[XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:anface,sad][XS:antalk,1][C:41]???:[C:C] W-Wouldn't you get punished for doing that?[XS:antalk,0][XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] You'd have to admit publicly that you #ordered alcohol first. And that would bring #you a different array of problems. [XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:anface,sadhalf][XS:antalk,1][C:41]???:[C:C] ...oh.[XS:antalk,0][XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Did you come here looking to get me in #trouble?[XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:anface,smug][XS:antalk,1][C:41]???:[C:C] No! I just wanted a reaction out of you but #you're taking it all too calmly![XS:antalk,0][XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] ...why?[XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:anface,][XS:antalk,1][C:41]???:[C:C] I don't know. Your face makes me wanna tease #you.[XS:antalk,0][XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] (I suddenly feel like I'm back in high #school.)[XS:ph,4][E:7][STOPLIP:]
[V:5][XS:anface,][XS:antalk,1][C:41]???:[C:C] Do you really think I look that young?[XS:antalk,0][XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] I do... but not young enough to be #considered underaged. [XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:anface,smug][XS:antalk,1][C:41]???:[C:C] Then, why won't you give me alcohol?![XS:antalk,0][XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Because I wanted to mess with you.[XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:anface,awayhalf][XS:antalk,1][C:41]???:[C:C] Mess with a client? Do you usually do that?[XS:antalk,0][XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Only if it looks like they might take it #in their stride.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Still, why are you so angry at the idea I #might think you look young?[XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:anface,][XS:antalk,1][C:41]???:[C:C] T-That's...[XS:antalk,0][XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] I mean, the only people who don't like #being mistaken for someone younger... are young #people.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] But to be fair, you still look older than #95% of our regulars.[XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:anface,sad][XS:antalk,1][C:41]???:[C:C] T-That would mean you've served drinks to #people who look like they're 13 years old or #something.[XS:antalk,0][XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Yup.[XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:antalk,1][C:41]???:[C:C] E-Eh?[XS:antalk,0][XS:ph,4][XS:next,1][E:8][STOPLIP:]
[V:5][XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Alright, let's get this out of the way. #Please show me your ID.[XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:anface,][XS:antalk,1][C:41]???:[C:C] Sure.[XS:antalk,0][XS:click,0][SHOW:185,anna_id][XS:click,1][XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] ...[STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Seems everything's in order, Miss Anna... #Graem?[XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] (Anna Graem... where have I heard that #name before?)[STOPLIP:]
[XS:anface,smug][XS:antalk,1][C:41]Anna:[C:C] [XS:click,0][XS:anidhide,1][P:10][XS:click,1][XS:antalk,1]Go ahead. Just try to make a joke I haven't #heard yet.[XS:antalk,0][XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] I'll... politely refuse.[XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:anface,][XS:antalk,1][C:41]Anna:[C:C] No, I'm serious. Go ahead. People think #it's "too easy" so they never make jokes about #my name.[XS:antalk,0][XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] ...I'm still going to politely refuse.[XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:anface,smug][XS:antalk,1][C:41]Anna:[C:C] You're no fun![XS:antalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:anface,][XS:antalk,1][C:41]Anna:[C:C] So. What's your name, Miss Bartender?[XS:antalk,0][XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] My name?[XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:antalk,1][C:41]Anna:[C:C] You saw my name. I have the right to know #yours.[XS:antalk,0][XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Fair enough. I'm Jill.[XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:antalk,1][C:41]Anna:[C:C] Jill what?[XS:next,1][XS:antalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Just... Jill.[XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:antalk,1][C:41]Anna:[C:C] Yeah, but what's your full name?[XS:antalk,0][XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Just call me Jill.[XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:anface,smug][XS:antalk,1][C:41]Anna:[C:C] Fine, I'll just pretend Jill is a way of #saying your name is actually Johanna Ignacia #Laurent Loan. [XS:antalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:antalk,1][C:41]Anna:[C:C] Actually, I'll shorten it to Jo.[XS:antalk,0][XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Whatever floats your boat.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:anface,][XS:antalk,1][C:41]Anna:[C:C] Say, Jo, this place looks awfully #desolate.[XS:antalk,0][XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] (Jo, she says...)[STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] It's been a slow day. A really, REALLY slow #day.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] I'm actually glad you showed up. I was #growing bored as hell.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] I mean, it's not like we're always bustling #with activity, but this is unusual even for here.[XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:antalk,1][C:41]Anna:[C:C] So, I take it this isn't a popular place #then?[XS:antalk,0][XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] We have our regulars, but we're not like #the bars in the main street.[XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:anface,happy][XS:antalk,1][C:41]Anna:[C:C] Still, I like this place. It's comfy and... #I don't know, it makes me feel safe.[XS:antalk,0][XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Weird. I mean, I feel that way too, but #this place usually gives off the opposite #impression.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Can't blame them though, this isn't #exactly the best part of the city.[XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:anface,away][XS:antalk,1][C:41]Anna:[C:C] That's a shame. I really like how isolated #this place feels.[XS:antalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:antalk,1][C:41]Anna:[C:C] You can't hear the sounds of the city #in here. It's nice.[XS:antalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:anface,][XS:antalk,1][C:41]Anna:[C:C] But then again, you could say I have some #experience with isolated places. So, it might #just be nostalgia.[XS:antalk,0][XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Nostalgia, huh...[XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:antalk,1][C:41]Anna:[C:C] Speaking of coming in here...[XS:antalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:antalk,1][C:41]Anna:[C:C] Now that I think about it, you didn't ask #for my ID when I first came in. Why didn't you #do it if you were so suspicious?[XS:antalk,0][XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Well... firstly, I was bored.[XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:anface,away][XS:antalk,1][C:41]Anna:[C:C] Figures.[XS:antalk,0][XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] And second, I felt like you were of legal #age.[XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:anface,smug][XS:antalk,1][C:41]Anna:[C:C] Um... how?[XS:antalk,0][XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] We've had a lot of kids come in thinking #they could get away with ordering a drink, but #they're too nervous or jumpy.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] I don't usually give drinks to kids like #that. They don't know what they're dealing with.[XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:anface,][XS:antalk,1][C:41]Anna:[C:C] What if they're not like that but still #underage?[XS:antalk,0][XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]

[XS:anface,sad][XS:antalk,1][C:41]Anna:[C:C] How can I feel comfortable if you serve me #drinks I don't like?[XS:antalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:anface,sadhalf][XS:antalk,1][C:41]Anna:[C:C] I'd understand if you got the order wrong #and I still liked it, but that's not the case #here.[XS:antalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:anface,][XS:antalk,1][C:41]Anna:[C:C] So yeah, I'm gonna leave right now. Better #luck next time.[XS:antalk,0][XS:anface,][XS:click,0][XS:anhide,1][P:20][XS:click,1][XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]

[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] It is?[XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:anface,][XS:antalk,1][C:41]Anna:[C:C] Of course! I spent so much time in #hospitals and whatnot. But now, I'm just... #living my life, you know?[XS:antalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:antalk,1][C:41]Anna:[C:C] I wanna feel the good and the bad. No more #being forced to sit quietly in a quarantine #room.[XS:antalk,0][XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Yeah, I can get that.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Wait... Quarantine?[XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:antalk,1][C:41]Anna:[C:C] Type 2 Nanomachine Rejection patients are #put in special chambers free from the #nanomachine particles in the air.[XS:antalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:antalk,1][C:41]Anna:[C:C] That prevents them from being assimilated, #and aggravating their whole situation.[XS:antalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:anface,away][XS:antalk,1][C:41]Anna:[C:C] To be fair, not all of my memories of that #chamber are bad.[XS:antalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:antalk,1][C:41]Anna:[C:C] I mean, I did spend three, four years in #one of those places.[XS:antalk,0][XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Really? That long?[XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:anface,][XS:antalk,1][C:41]Anna:[C:C] Well, I didn't go for the genetic-level #treatment. So, it was longer... and a lot less #expensive.[XS:antalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:antalk,1][C:41]Anna:[C:C] I'm not going to complain, though. I'm #alive thanks to all that.[XS:antalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:antalk,1][C:41]Anna:[C:C] And I left with so many fond memories too.[XS:antalk,0][XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] So that's what you meant with the whole #"feeling nostalgic in isolated places" thing.[XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:antalk,1][C:41]Anna:[C:C] Yup.[XS:antalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:anface,sad][XS:antalk,1][C:41]Anna:[C:C] ...[XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Are you alright?[XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:antalk,1][C:41]Anna:[C:C] Y-Yeah... I'm fine. Just dizzy.[XS:antalk,0][XS:ph,16][E:24][STOPLIP:]
[V:5][XS:anface,smugsmile][XS:antalk,1][C:41]Anna:[C:C] So, any questions about my stump, Jo?[XS:antalk,0][XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Not about your stump, actually. What is the #treatment for Nanomachine Rejection Syndrome #like?[XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:anface,][XS:antalk,1][C:41]Anna:[C:C] Well. The purpose of it is to provide your #body a certain degree of immunity to the #nanomachines so it stops attacking itself.[XS:antalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:antalk,1][C:41]Anna:[C:C] But too much of that, and you end up with #Tokyo Flu.[XS:antalk,0][XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Tokyo Flu... [STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] That's that super-flu that people can only #avoid with the help of nanomachines, right?[XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:antalk,1][C:41]Anna:[C:C] That's the one.[XS:antalk,0][XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] I've always wondered why they called it #Tokyo Flu.[XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:anface,away][XS:antalk,1][C:41]Anna:[C:C] If I remember correctly, it's because one #of the first cases happened in Tokyo. Some have #called it "Anime Flu" too.[XS:antalk,0][XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Huh...[STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] It's ironic how the technology they use to #keep tabs on you also strengthens your immune #system.[XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:anface,awayhalf][XS:antalk,1][C:41]Anna:[C:C] Not that it strengthened me against the #needles I had to face on a daily basis, that's #for sure. But anyways...[XS:antalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:anface,][XS:antalk,1][C:41]Anna:[C:C] Nanomachine Rejection Syndrome is, in some #ways, like an allergy. A genetic-level treatment #rewrites that part so you can call it a day.[XS:antalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:antalk,1][C:41]Anna:[C:C] But we couldn't afford that so we went for #the long route.[XS:antalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:antalk,1][C:41]Anna:[C:C] The long route consists of a concentrated #serum that makes about 1 square centimeter of #your body immune to rejection.[XS:antalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:anface,away][XS:antalk,1][C:41]Anna:[C:C] But the serum also makes your body go nuts #at times too. I lost my arm while they were #treating it.[XS:antalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:anface,][XS:antalk,1][C:41]Anna:[C:C] So they have to carefully monitor the #treatment to ensure it doesn't kill you in #your sleep. [XS:antalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:anface,awayhalf][XS:antalk,1][C:41]Anna:[C:C] Oh yeah, did I mention that the serum #burns? Because it burns like the flames of #hell itself.[XS:antalk,0][XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Damn...[STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] D-Did I strike a nerve with that question?[XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:anface,][XS:antalk,1][C:41]Anna:[C:C] Oh no, I'm not concerned about it but... #can you really blame me for getting riled up #about it?[XS:antalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:anface,smug][XS:antalk,1][C:41]Anna:[C:C] And don't get me started about having my #eyes treated.[XS:antalk,0][XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Yeah... I won't, don't worry.[XS:ph,16][XS:next,1][E:25][STOPLIP:]

[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Come again?[XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:anface,sad][XS:antalk,1][C:41]Anna:[C:C] To be honest, talking about the treatment #and all that made me feel a bit lonely.[XS:antalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:antalk,1][C:41]Anna:[C:C] Sorry if it's not something you can do, but #I had to ask.[XS:antalk,0][XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] It's not something I normally do, but...[STOPLIP:]

[XS:antalk,1][C:41]Anna:[C:C] The worst part is that if they left her as #she'd been, I might have been able to spend #an extra year or so with her.[XS:antalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:antalk,1][C:41]Anna:[C:C] ...but all that work only got her killed #sooner. I didn't even get a chance to say #goodbye. She just... vanished.[XS:antalk,0][XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]

[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] It's not like he had a lot of enemies, but #many people were cautious around him.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] But once he died, I never heard a single #bad comment about him. Not even from those who #used to badmouth him every now and then.[XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:antalk,1][C:41]Anna:[C:C] Really?[XS:antalk,0][XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Well, the "best" thing about death is #that after you die, all the wrongs you #ever committed feel meaningless.[STOPLIP:]

[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] I mean, it's not like I had a dramatic #goodbye or anything like that. He died in a #hospital bed while I was at home.[STOPLIP:]

[XS:antalk,1][C:41]Anna:[C:C] She also doesn't like pizza.[XS:antalk,0][XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] ...is she even human? Err.. sorry. I #mean...[STOPLIP:]

[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Right.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] If you only got good chocolate, a slightly #less good chocolate would taste awful.[XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:antalk,1][C:41]Anna:[C:C] Yeah, I can see that.[XS:antalk,0][XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] And if you only got chocolates that #tasted better each time... [STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] ...then the chocolates you ate #in the past would worsen in memory.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:anface,happy][XS:antalk,1][C:41]Anna:[C:C] Oooooh, yeah. Now I get it.[XS:antalk,0][XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] So yeah, sometimes bad is just a matter of #contrast.[XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:anface,smug][XS:antalk,1][C:41]Anna:[C:C] That still doesn't justify why bad things #like death happen.[XS:antalk,0][XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Hm...[STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] I don't know. Maybe, we're just too #concerned with smaller plans to look at the #bigger picture.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Maybe that death will trigger something #else in the future.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] If there's reincarnation, maybe that #person's needed somewhere else.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Maybe, the world works in an entirely #different way and we're limited by human #reasoning.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] I don't know. I'm just a bartender. If #there's someone to ask about the metaphysical #nature of death, it's not me.[XS:next,1][STOPLIP:]

[XS:antalk,1][C:41]Anna:[C:C] Sometimes, I think god is just a dick.[XS:antalk,0][STOPLIP:]

[XS:anface,smug][XS:antalk,1][C:41]Anna:[C:C] It's like god's... I don't know. It's like #he's some edgy writer who likes having his #characters suffer.[XS:antalk,0][STOPLIP:]

[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Main characters usually have this tragic #backstory that we never really see in the #beginning.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Something that helps them move on, that #gives them motivation to power through the plot.[STOPLIP:]

[XS:anface,awayhalf][XS:antalk,1][C:41]???:[C:C] Then again, I'm not one to talk, really.[XS:antalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:antalk,1][C:41]???:[C:C] There was this one time in middle school #where I shouted "CUCUMBERS" in front of the #person I liked.[XS:antalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:antalk,1][C:41]???:[C:C] I became "Kappa Girl" what was left of the #year.[XS:antalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] (That's a pretty smart nickname, actually.)[XS:ph,4][E:46][STOPLIP:]
[V:5][RES:][XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Here you go.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:anface,sad][XS:antalk,1][C:41]Anna:[C:C] This is... interesting.[XS:antalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:anface,][XS:antalk,1][C:41]Anna:[C:C] And by interesting I mean creepy.[XS:antalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:anface,smug][XS:antalk,1][C:41]Anna:[C:C] This won't blow up on my face, right?[XS:antalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] No.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:anface,sad][XS:antalk,1][C:41]Anna:[C:C] You sure? It looks like it's... pulsing.[XS:antalk,0][XS:ph,6][XS:mix,0][E:47][STOPLIP:]
[V:5][XS:anface,][XS:antalk,1][C:41]Anna:[C:C] Hey, just out curiosity, what's the worse #that could happen with a bad drink?[XS:antalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Well, let's see...[STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Sterility, temporary blindness, chemical #burns, dementia, spontaneous combustion, #seizures, athlete's foot.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:anface,sad][XS:antalk,1][C:41]Anna:[C:C] Then why do people come and drink stuff #in these bars?![XS:antalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] There's people that drink paint thinner #to get high, we just provide LEGAL drinkable #paint thinner.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] And to be fair, 60% of our training is to #know what to avoid in order to not kill #someone or ourselves when mixing.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:anface,][XS:antalk,1][C:41]Anna:[C:C] What's the other 40%?[XS:antalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Procedures and self-defense.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:antalk,1][C:41]Anna:[C:C] Oh...[XS:antalk,0][XS:ph,7][E:48][STOPLIP:]
[RES:][V:5][XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Here.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:anface,smug][XS:antalk,1][C:41]Anna:[C:C] Jo, I don't know in what context this #could be considered classy, but I'm sure it's #not in human context[XS:antalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:antalk,1][C:41]Anna:[C:C] I mean, it's glowing and all![XS:antalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Don't worry, it's safe.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] (It won't kill you at the very least.)[STOPLIP:]
[XS:anface,awayhalf][XS:antalk,1][C:41]Anna:[C:C] I'll... pass.[XS:antalk,0][XS:ph,9][XS:mix,0][E:49][STOPLIP:]
[XS:antalk,1][C:41]Anna:[C:C] Pssst.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:antalk,1][C:41]Anna:[C:C] Hey, over here.[STOPLIP:]
[ANNA:][XS:antalk,1][C:41]Anna:[C:C] BOO![STOPLIP:]
[SHOW:185,sprite_anna][XS:anface,happy][XS:antalk,1][C:41]Anna:[C:C] How's that for an entrance?[STOPLIP:]
[XS:anface,][XS:antalk,1][C:41]Anna:[C:C] ...[STOPLIP:]
[XS:antalk,1][C:41]Anna:[C:C] Come on Jo, look sharp! The game's #starting and the player needs a good first #impression of its main character.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:antalk,1][C:41]Anna:[C:C] I know you served a bunch of #tuxedo-clad Corgis over the weekend #and the bar will eventually close.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:anface,awayhalf][XS:antalk,1][C:41]Anna:[C:C] ...and I'll admit my little prank on #you might've gone a bit overboard.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:anface,happy][XS:antalk,1][C:41]Anna:[C:C] But remember, life is 90% how you take #it! Stay focused and look at the brighter #side of things.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:anface,smug][XS:antalk,1][C:41]Anna:[C:C] I have no idea what the brighter side #is, but you should totally find it.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:anface,][XS:antalk,1][C:41]Anna:[C:C] In any case, you should totally check #that parcel you just got.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:anface,happy][XS:antalk,1][C:41]Anna:[C:C] See ya![STOPLIP:][XS:ph,-1][E:50][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] ...![STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Oh... *yawn* just a dream.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] (Hm? There's something near the door.)[STOPLIP:][XS:ph,-3][E:51][STOPLIP:]
[XS:antalk,1][C:41]Anna:[C:C] Pssst.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:antalk,1][C:41]Anna:[C:C] Hey, over here.[STOPLIP:]
[SHOW:185,sprite_anna][XS:anface,happy][XS:antalk,1][C:41]Anna:[C:C] Boo![STOPLIP:]
[XS:antalk,1][C:41]Anna:[C:C] ...[STOPLIP:]
[XS:anface,][XS:antalk,1][C:41]Anna:[C:C] Hm? Why didn't I show up on the TV?[STOPLIP:]
[XS:anface,smug][XS:antalk,1][C:41]Anna:[C:C] Gags get old if you repeat them too #much, you know?[STOPLIP:]
[XS:anface,happy][XS:antalk,1][C:41]Anna:[C:C] But no matter. Thank you for playing #again![STOPLIP:]
[XS:anface,][XS:antalk,1][C:41]Anna:[C:C] Don't worry, you won't be punished #for choices made in past playthroughs. #This is a fresh new beginning.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:anface,away][XS:antalk,1][C:41]Anna:[C:C] Um... almost fresh, at least.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:anface,][XS:antalk,1][C:41]Anna:[C:C] Jo will have all the money she had at #the end of last time.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:antalk,1][C:41]Anna:[C:C] She'll keep everything she bought or #unlocked too.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:antalk,1][C:41]Anna:[C:C] That means she can potentially be a #millionaire but remain the same poor #bartender.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:antalk,1][C:41]Anna:[C:C] ...[STOPLIP:]
[XS:anface,away][XS:antalk,1][C:41]Anna:[C:C] ...well, suspension of disbelief #exists for a reason, right?[STOPLIP:]
[XS:anface,smugsmile][XS:antalk,1][C:41]Anna:[C:C] Oh, but debts will still show up, #so be careful.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:anface,][XS:antalk,1][C:41]Anna:[C:C] Did you get all of the endings yet? #Here's a couple of tips.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:antalk,1][C:41]Anna:[C:C] Leaving Jo homeless or not is the #first step towards at least one of them.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:antalk,1][C:41]Anna:[C:C] There's two of them that rely on #being a top bartender to the buff #sweetheart and the cat-eared beauty.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:antalk,1][C:41]Anna:[C:C] Of those two, one needs you to be #patient with the pompous buffoon.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:antalk,1][C:41]Anna:[C:C] The other one needs you to serve the #busty 'droid what she wants.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:antalk,1][C:41]Anna:[C:C] The other busty girl, the blonde one. #You should get hers as long as you're not #an asshole.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:antalk,1][C:41]Anna:[C:C] And Becky's should be easy as long as #you remember what she says.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:anface,happy][XS:antalk,1][C:41]Anna:[C:C] Six different endings, can you get #them all?[STOPLIP:]
[XS:anface,][XS:antalk,1][C:41]Anna:[C:C] Sorry for all the chatter. Let's #pretend this never happened.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:anface,happy][XS:antalk,1][C:41]Anna:[C:C] GAME START![STOPLIP:][XS:ph,-1][E:52][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] ...![STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] ...[STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] ...that's it. No more tequila-seasoned #ramen before the afternoon nap.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] And what the hell are you chewing on, #Fore? Is that a letter?[STOPLIP:][XS:ph,-3][E:53][STOPLIP:]
