I've decided to give this 'honest work' thing a try. So far, so good; only had three people try to hypnotise me for free drinks.

Come down to The Corvid if you don't believe me.

Good luck at the new job. Unfortunately, I'm a little young for a club like that but I hope the rest of your shift goes well!

[story_and_teller]

Age is just a number; come on down anyway, I won't serve you anything stronger than a good coffee.

And I doubt there's a legal drinking age in the City of Nightmares.

[american_alien]

There's a legal drinking age according to my parents. And I've been in enough trouble lately.

But I haven't come to the city yet. Same reason.

[story_and_teller]

Oh, is that so? Maybe you should give it a try anyway; the way I understand it, you can pop off over here, and be back over there, with no relative time gone by at all.

Work the 'trouble' out of your system somewhere where it won't give your parents grey hair. :-)

[american_alien]

And you think someplace called the City of Nightmares is totally safe and not likely to get me in trouble?

[story_and_teller]

On the contrary, it's not at all safe, and will certainly get you in trouble; that's the idea.

When you go home, the 'trouble' may be out of your system, and might just leave you alone.

[american_alien]

I wish I could say that sounded right but I have a feeling the trouble's in there to stay.

[story_and_teller]

Nothing wrong with that, kid. But it's worth a shot, if you really wanna.

[american_alien]

Maybe I'll try hitting the transport. Just... see what happens. I don't know if I'll come down to the bar, though.

[story_and_teller]

No? I'll put a free drink with your name on it - I won't even spike it a little.

[american_alien]

What kind of drink?

[story_and_teller]

Dunno, you like coffee? Or soda? Something fruity? Something unfit for mortal consumption? Seriously, this bar is loaded.

[american_alien]

Fruity. And sweet. Soda's all right.

[story_and_teller]

Fruity and sweet, yeah, can do. :-D

[american_alien]

[ It takes a couple of hours but finally-- ]

So. I'm here. Not in Nightmare, but, here.

[story_and_teller]

Planning on coming to visit, or should I bring the fun to you?

[american_alien]

You don't have to bring anything. I just thought you'd be interested to know I actually came.

[story_and_teller]

I promised you a drink, didn't I? Loki always keeps her promises.

[american_alien]

Well, I don't know if they let you bring outside food and stuff up here.

[story_and_teller]

The Satellite? I don't see why not.

[american_alien]

Okay. I just REALLY don't want to have to explain anything crazy like 'hey mom, I'm in jail in a whole other universe'. Know what I mean?

[story_and_teller]

You need to relax; you won't go to jail for having a drink.

[american_alien]

No, I know that. I just don't want them escalating. That's all.

[story_and_teller]

They won't. If you're actually a kid- [and she really thinks he is] you'll be fine. Kids get a whole Hel of a lot more leeway than adults.

[american_alien]

I'm sixteen!

[story_and_teller]

[...definitely a kid.]

That's young enough. Tell you what - my shift's about up. Hang tight, and I'll meet you up there. What's your name, kid?

[american_alien]

...Clark.

[clay_and_truth]

That is a most dishonest way to get a drink.

[story_and_teller]

I think that's why the proprietress hired me.
