[Uuuuugh, he really doesn't want to do this. Human resources has literally never been his department. Even when he was prepping to become the eventual king of Kimlasca, he had certain social issues that should've been worked on; growing up in Daath and earning a reputation fitting for Asch the Bloody just made them worse.

But he's tired of spending an absurd amount of hours at a bar that he can't decide whether or not he even likes anymore just because no one else is available, especially with half the staff missing. When Norma doesn't even bother showing up to work for several days in a row that basically cements it.]

...Good Spirits is hiring. Come to the bar this afternoon for an interview if you're interested in joining the staff.

[And that's pretty much where he'll be. As usual. But don't expect to get the job just because you show up!! ...Actually, that's might just make him less inclined to hire you, which is the very definition of counter-productive. The standards of Asch the Bloody are high, indeed. ~~The Gordon Ramsey of bartenders~~]

I suppose, if you're paranoid.

[Which this guy seems to be.]

[Firo, paranoid? Never!]

You mean "wary." Or "prepared."

Call it whatever you want. I'm not interested.

[He hadn't expected to come across someone who thought worse of people than he did.]

Fine. I was just offerin' a bit of advice--nothin' to me if you take it or leave it. It's not like you have much competition to worry about.

[Not that it'd matter at all to Firo. Good Spirits is still one of his favorite places in Luceti.]

Even if we had competition, I wouldn't care.

[Though technically there is that night club, now... well, whatever. No skin off his nose if people go to that travesty of ear-shattering noise instead of his nice, quiet bar.]

I'm not here to impress anyone.

So you wouldn't care if nobody came to your bar?

Not really. It would make for a dull shift, but I have other ways to occupy myself.

I thought the point of business was to beat out the other guy. Or at least be the best at what you do.

In normal worlds, maybe. What would the benefit of that be, here, though?

Are you serious? What about your pride?

Pride in what? It's just a building.

Pride in your job.

That doesn't mean I intend to do anything special to attract customers.

Suit yourself. The bar owner I know would be ashamed of you.

...Oh no. I don't know how I can possibly overcome the terrible shame of some stranger's disapproval.

Don't get smart. Who's gonna want to work for someone who's a disgrace to his profession?

Come down to the bar and say that to my face!

[He'll be happy to serve his finest bottle right to your self-righteous jaw.]

[Wow. He was almost worried he wouldn't get a reaction out of that.]

I'm not doin' anything else right now, so sure. Just gimme a minute.

[He actually likes that bar, so he wishes it hadn't come to this. Even though this is entirely his fault.]

You want me to bring a weapon so you can duel for your honor or somethin'?

I've no cause to duel with a nobody for my own damn honour. And weapons aren't allowed in my bar.

[....]

In fact, you're not allowed in it, either.

[WHAT NOW ASSHOLE]

[OH SNAP.

He's glad this is voice and not video so Asch can't see his jaw drop at that. Thanks to his anger, though, he recovers quickly enough to shout back:]

Fine! I wouldn't wanna go to a place like that anyway. Your attitude is probably what makes the booze taste so bad.

[It tastes better than anything else in Luceti, but like hell is he going to admit that now.]

I'm sure it merely sours in your mouth.

[He wishes he knew the guy's name so he could make the ban official, though. He'll just have to remember the voice...]

[Firo has a pretty distinctive (read: annoying) voice, so that alone is probably enough to recognize him.]

Don't blame others for your screw ups.

Maybe we just know not to waste good alcohol on people like you.

But you didn't even know me before just now. Unless you don't give your best to any customer, which I guess is the sorta thing a shoddy establishment would do.

If it's so shoddy, then you clearly won't miss it.
