So. This has been a long couple of days. [The look on his face screams 'I am just so done' so much that he doesn't even have to say it explicitly] Any recommendations for a good bar around Nonah? I got a lot of sorrows to drown and not enough booze to keep me going.

[See, now, he doesn't need deets on what's going down, he gets the gist from the other posts he's checked in on and what his little handy welcome pack told him, he pretty much has that down. As insane that it is. What he doesn't have is a good reliable watering hole and that just isn't right. No man should go days, hours or minutes without one.]

If I spend any more time sober, I might actually start reassessing my life and my choices and I don't have time for that kind of shit. So just help a guy out here. I don't mind if I got to pay a little extra for a good drink but I'm not exactly flushed with cash here so let's not go nuts and send me to like the ritziest place in town. Okay? Reasonable. Prices.

[Wait, he should really clarify here because when it comes to finding a bar, you can never be too specific in your wants.]

Just don't direct me to some dive where they water down the drinks or I will come down on you like the hand of God and smite your ass because seriously, don't waste my time or my money. That shit ain't cute and I will come at you. Sensible suggestions only.

[There's a long pause before he adds:]

While we're on the subject of things I need, I got one more request. I need someone who's good with this thing right here. [He means the device, he even gives it a little shake to just display what he means.] I got a few questions.

You first mistake is sticking around Nonah.

Would you like the bars listed geographically, by overall quality, or by variety of liquor? I know them all.

Yeah, I think I'm in the same boat. This jokers didn't give me a job worth even humouring so safe to say, I'm out. I'll hit you up.

So you can prevent a hacking?

[oh gee, gotta wonder what's on tap for a third date with Jonathan Crane.]

Floyd Lawton.

Jobs they give us are usually... interesting. Sorry. But it's actually easy to find something around here since people loves us and they would love to work with us. [ yeah. They are "heroes" after all, and who wouldn't love a hero working for them? ]

And you can, but you need to know what you are doing. Just like you need to know what you are doing if you want to hack into something.

Where I'm from, a dive is dodgy place. I don't know what people are saying for it these days, I'm not up to date with modern slang and all. To me a dive is just a dodgy and often crime infested hell hole where the drinks are watered down and over priced.

[When did that change? What did other people define as a 'dive'? He's not getting the issue here.]

Why are you asking? [He's used to being suspect of people, he's not open to sharing any info.]

You're an angel. [An angel who came bearing a list of drinking holes. That's the kind of person he loves right there.]

So the powers are just totally random? That ... that explains a lot, actually. I was a little confused what the dude must have been sniffing who came up with one of my powers, you know? Thanks for the heads up. So this random chick has control of who stays and who goes? I don't think I like the sound of her.

That's the general gist of it, yeah.

[He raises an eyebrow slowly.] Can't argue with that logic, I guess.

You, my friend, are a beautiful human being. You know that? You're like the gold star of human being. I'm gonna go ahead and trust your judgement too cause no one who goes to this kind of effort would be half arsed about his subject.

And you just keep getting better, huh? You any good with these things?

Really?

Care to tell me why?

Whichever way you like.

You know what? Surprise me.

[He's totally scared.]

Well, here's to you settling in, Mr. Lawton. And finding your apartment doesn't have any problems with local pests.

Oh, I can be full of surprises.

[Within 30 minutes, he will receive an actual spreadsheet in his personal inbox. She's that good.]

I'm Sadie Doyle, and you should turn to me if you have any alcoholic inquiries in the future.

I doubt anyone likes her to be honest. Taking them from their homes, their lives - it doesn't sit well with me. [A sigh.] My advice is just to deal with it as best as you can and be prepared.

[Story of her life really.]

So, did anyone tell you anything about registration? It's something that you can decide to sign up for or not.

Well, I've worked in a dive, thank you.

[ Her voice is mild and good-humored now, though. ]

And I'm asking so that I don't just call you 'you.' And I've introduced myself already, haven't I.

Ah, well, if you were askin' around Heropa, I could direct you at least twelve different tiki bars that serve a mean mai tai, but it sounds like everyone else has got you covered on the less flamingo-covered establishments up north.

So! What kinda tech support are you looking for? It's not exactly my specialty, but I know my way around the things well enough.

[ Well. That's a first. This is why it pays to be paranoid ( ???? ) and organized!!! ]

I find it only beneficial to know the lay of the land.

[ So to speak... ]

But, yes. Knowledgable enough in the areas it matters.

[Aw, hell yeah, he hasn't spilt a single drop. This is a professional at work here. Watch out, he's even displaying his skills at drinking a swig of it without spilling any!]

Welp, if it's a fight you're looking for, I can give you a whoooole list. Beginning and ending in Maurtia Falls, pretty much, but there's also gonna be a whole lot of dive in there. But if you decide you want a drink or two away from the hassle, I got some even better places for you. What city you at?

I know how to keep myself and my place safe. I'm going to have no problems.

[And if he does, he'll just throw a potato at them.]

Hey, hey, hey. Woah. Let's not jump right in and dismiss the tiki this early in the game. How'd you know I don't have dreams for something flamingo-covered in my future? Come at me, man. Where can I get a good mai tai? For future Heropa visitations.

[He's never had one but why the hell not start now?]

I think I got most of my bases covered, I got my head around the best ways to lay low but if you know any way to prevent hacking, I'm all ears.

Oh, you're already so good to me and you barely even know me. [There's a playful smirk there.] I like you. But then, I'd be a damn fool not too.

Trust me, I will. People around here really know their booze.

I have my own plans to make money. I know my worth, kid. And I know my value too. I'm going to make what I'm owed and I'm going to do it my own way. [He just needs to get his hands on some weapons first.]

Got it. I'm going to have to brush up on this tech shit.

I doubt people like that care if they're popular or not, you know? I'm used to dealing with horrible people who reign over my life like that, it's sort of a thing you get used to.

[That girl probably has nothing on Waller. Just saying.]

I got some vague details but not a lot. What happens if I sign up? Is there a catch or something?

If you can serve me a good drink, I'll drink anywhere, even the worst dive in the world. That's how bars work. It's all about the drink.

Right, fine, I can bite. I'm Floyd. It's a real pleasure.

[There's a slight pause]

Okay, I gotta ask. Are you like, I don't know, always a cat? Or what?

Good man, I agree. You're a smart guy.

[He likes you, random organised bar fly.]

Okay, tell me, people can get into this thing pretty easily right? I mean it's as defenceless as any other smart phone. No protection, nothing to keep people looking in on it.

So what can I do to keep my private shit private? Is there a way to keep people from hacking in?
