The Last Drop Grand Opening

[conflictresolution]

Who: Whoever would like to attend the grand opening mingle at the Last Drop
Where: Entertainment District – The Last Drop
What: The grand opening of the night club / bar
Warnings: Alcohol and low-level drugs




The Last Drop opens big and loud with neon lights and music that booms from within to be heard from the streets. There are two large bouncers at the door, but they were allowing people in very freely on this night until the room was at capacity then there would be a line. The bouncers only stop those who are already three-sheets to the wind and could cause trouble, but otherwise, they are there to break up trouble as the night wears on.

Inside, there was smoke machines, flashing lights, loud music and the drinks were flowing to anyone that wanted. There was plenty of dancing, some dart boards along the walls, a jukebox, tables and booths for patrons to have drinks and discuss business.

There are stairs that lead up to a second floor to one side of the bar, lights on the stairs. There were people lounging on the stairs and it seemed to be ‘employees only’. Patrons were allowed the lounge there as well if they were tired of dancing or the tables or booths were occupied.

He didn't entirely understand the technology here, not like his daughter did. They didn't have such things as 'computers' in such a sense, but they advanced technology quickly since he had taken over and opened the door to illicit inventions. It was still an uphill battle for him at times.

"So you plan on making a life for yourself here without the want to return home. It means you have something to lose here. Second chances indeed."

Levi doesn't really understand it either. They didn't have computers in his time, at least not outside of the weird bunkers where Logic was being made. "I don't think I really have a choice."

"Everyone has a choice. Some matters may be out of your control, but you are the only one who can live your life," he remarked simply. He raised his tumbler to his lips and took a sip from his whiskey. "And if you need assistance, all you have to do is ask."

He hasn't had a choice in like 90% of his life. It was weird to have one at all, but Silco was right. He doesn't really want to go back to someone dictating what he did or didn't do. It was scary, though. What if he messed up? He's still not even sure if leaving the army was the right choice. "I-I guess."

He looks down at his glass and takes a sip before swishing the liquid around for a moment. "I might. I don't know. I don't really know how to deal with a lot of things right now. B-but, um, I wouldn't want to be a burden." Like he always thought he was.

A single glance over at Levi told him that he had his work cut out for him with the boy. A good enough soldier, and the boy needed structure but only when following orders. Everything else, everything messy could come with time and nudging out from under the umbrella of structure.

Perhaps it would be helped along with a substance or two Silco could get his hands on.

"If you do your job well, I wouldn't consider you a burden. If you need training or opportunities, those come with the job." After all, it was an excellent way to build loyalty and make a better man for his cause. He considered Levi an investment.

[solitarysoul]

"I will do my very best, Sir." He didn't really know how to do anything else. But as he still felt he owed Silco that went doubly. Can't let down the guy who helped him out and gave him a chance.

"Good. I know you will," he remarked and considered leaving the conversation there. After all, he and Levi could sit in relative silence and it didn't feel awkward for him. He expected the kid would pull a weapon if someone came aggressively at their table at least.

fade?

[solitarysoul]

Levi nods and takes another drink. He's perfectly find letting the conversation stop there. He was never good at small talk, anyway, so he likes it when he can just sit with someone and no one needs to talk.

He'd definitely pull a gun on anyone who threatened Silco, though. He's been carrying the concealed hand gun on him most times he's out in the city anyway.

The lapse into silence didn't bother him in the least, and he allowed his attention to shift to the multiple patrons mingling together. He had a bodyguard here at the table with him, and that was security enough.

After a few minutes of their silence and drinking together, Silco made a point of sighing and tipping his tumbler to Levi. "I should mingle. Do escape to the office upstairs if you need a break from the noise," he said as he slid out from the booth to move away and carry on with the evening.
