*it’s going to be at least an extra hour before the bar opens up.... Mercenary work led to him needing to apply some patches of artificial skin on the mechanical arm....and it’s not a pretty sight*

“With the....side work....I probably should consider hiring proper security so...I can’t be two places at once in the bar—“

“Some days...it feels like a pain in the neck to do most of the bar work..”

“Alright, bar is open for business for the day...”

“Heh, if my old man was still alive, I’m pretty sure he’d be disappointed as hell in me...the hardass.”

*the bar is open for the day, don’t cause any bar room brawls and you won’t have to worry about getting the boot*

“Hopefully business today helps tide me over until the next round of contract work.”

“Hmm...perhaps I should look for more proper channels to advertise my merc work?”

“You know, it’s a good thing I change my attire drastically between my usual job and my merc work... That and the usual law enforcement issues I occasionally deal with can’t ever seem to put two and two together.”

“I mean, I’d go to my usual sources, but not everything on the black market is trustworthy surgical wise—“

“Annnnd making a mental note to try and avoid doing contract work for /that/ individual. Employers who make a massive target of themselves are nothing but bad news.”

“....And speaking of potential clients to be wary of... The green...or is that teal....hedgehog is giving off some....worrying vibes.”

“Really not making yourself decent client material there—“

“Well, you do your thing of....making a big target out of yourself there.”

“That’s what they all say.”

“Well, so much for trying to pass this arm off as being normal—“
