LAU, YOU CAN BE GUEST OF HONOUR

[reanimated]

Days one through four without boss: Aces, the pub is mine for the night, free shots for everyone, etc. etc.

Day five without boss: Considering the possibility that he might be dead? Aces, the pub is mine for the night, free shots for everyone, etc. etc.

Day six without boss: Turns out he was released, the pub is mine FOREVER, free shots for ME, etc. etc.

Anyway so he's gone and seeing as he left no last will and testament (cos what would it say anyway? "I leave all my shite poetry about blood to my girlfriend, ohhhhhhhhh wait") I'm going to go ahead and say the Phony is now under my ownership from here until the end of time!

"But Nathan, you don't know how to run a business" — WHO GIVES A SHIT? Open bar at the Phony tonight in loving memory of our dearly departed friend Connor or Constatine or whatever the fuck!

And why wouldn't it work like that? Look I'm essentially his next of kin as far as fucked up immortal genetics go so I'd say it absolutely works like that.

[icesolation]

I thought you were his employee.

[reanimated]

That too! And excuse the fuck out of me, do I know you?

[icesolation]

I was working for Conrad as his accountant.

[reanimated]

Well fuck me, I didn't think he'd have it in him to hire a beautiful woman without pissing himself in the process! So, you do the books. Is that all you do?

[icesolation]

Yes. Why, is there something else I should be doing?

[reanimated]

I guess we'll find out together, won't we?

[icesolation]

Is that so?

[highlyinformed]

I believe Conrad was an employee at the bar before its previous owner was released.

[icesolation]

That's ridiculous. That's no way to run a business.

[highlyinformed]

I agree, it should go to someone who is responsible enough to own a business. Mister Young hasn't the experience.

[reanimated]

OI

[highlyinformed]

You're much better suited for a managerial position.

[reanimated]

What the fuck's the difference?

[highlyinformed]

Ownership requires more work, managers simply maintain their original workload with a position of authority over basic employees.

[reanimated]

Ohhhhh I DO hate work

[reanimated]

Now that you mention it, being a business owner sounds like a lot more responsibility than I'm willing to take for anything...

[highlyinformed]

We'd just need to find someone willing to purchase the business from you. They'd have to be willing to take on a sizable debt.

[icesolation]

Are you implying something?

[highlyinformed]

I've had an interest in this bar's success since the very beginning. I'd be happy to compensate Mister Young for a fair stake in its future. You would be the lady to discuss numbers with, I take it?

[icesolation]

That would be me. I'm Elsa.

[highlyinformed]

I'm so glad Conrad had someone like you helping him. I imagine he was a little over his head with the numbers. You must be very smart, I'm sure the finances on his end were not easy.

[icesolation]

He did have a lot of personal debts.

[highlyinformed]

I'm amazed he had enough money to pay his employees, let alone keep the business afloat.

[highlyinformed]

He did pay you, didn't he?
