[ Klaus fumbles with his camera, standing outside of a bookstore that seems to have a few new items on display. ]

Uh... guys?

[ He pans over a display of comics that seem to feature... him and his siblings, should anyone actually read them. ]

We have a slight situation here.
So much for the anonymity- Jesus Christ, where did they even get these...

[ Guess who meant to send this as a message to said siblings and instead posted it on the Network? This guy. ]

(( OOC: Just in case there is any confusion, these comics are NOT the real-world Umbrella Academy comics, but an in-universe comic book from the Netflix adaptation. You can see them in Episode 1x03, "Extra Ordinary"))

Plead the what?

1/2

[hellogoodhigh]

The fifth. Do I have to tell you how accurate of a depiction it is or can I just lie and say no?

2/2

[hellogoodhigh]

Wait.

How many free drinks can I get out of telling you?

2/2

[vanto]

My friends get free drinks all the time. Just saying.

[hellogoodhigh]

Well then~

How many free bottles can I get? For giving you a tell-all on how accurate the comics are I mean?

[vanto]

Are you trying to bribe my friendship? I'm appalled at you.

That said, I don't actually want to pry into your personal life.

[hellogoodhigh]

It's not bribery, it's telling you anecdotes in hopes of becoming friends!

[ He gives a dramatic little gasp, placing a hand on his chest. ]

How dare you impugn my honor good sir-!

[vanto]

[ laughter, good job Klaus, you have made a new friend! ]

Alright, alright, it was bad of me to doubt your intentions. I see you only have the purest ones in mind.

[hellogoodhigh]

Besides, you look like you've got some stories of your own, right?

I mean, everyone here's from all sorts of different places- maybe instead of drinks, we swap stories for stories?

[vanto]

Judging by what I know of you and your siblings? Nothing nearly as interesting.

[ he grins ] So, it seems the only currency I have is the alcoholic type.

[hellogoodhigh]

Alas! I'd love to hear about another world. Still, suppose I'll be seeing you soon, hm~?

[ He gives a roguish little grin and waves his hand. ]

[vanto]

Alright, alright, you know where I work, correct?

[hellogoodhigh]

Pour Decisions, yes?

Wonderful name, really.

[vanto]

There is something poetic about it, but it is kind of my job to make sure any pour decisions happen elsewhere. You know, in a place where my boss won't be liable for damage or whatnot.

[hellogoodhigh]

Oh, I'm sure I can be liable for a few of those liabilities.

[ Wait that sounded better in his head. ]

I mean! Not property damage or anything- wrong sibling for that- but-

[vanto]

[ eli laughs. look, klaus is charming even if he is unusual. ding, ding, ding - you've made a new friend for sure, klaus! ]

Look, I'll trust you for now and if things go south I'll make you pay for any damages, deal?

[ he's teasing, of course. he's going to make sure klaus does not get into trouble to begin with. it's easier all around. ]
