I get it. You want to avoid the temptation. You're welcome to drop by whenever and get a non-alcoholic drink instead. We'll have those too. Wait until you see the reading room.
These lights are okay or you wanna move them over some more?
[Mark's just a guy passionate about this stuff. Doesn't change how shocked he looks.]
We exchanged some online talk, some texts, and now you've known me for all of twenty minutes and you have that much faith? Dude, you're just too good of a person.
[Jason leads again to a room further away from the karaoke areas. Given how this particular area is decorated, it probably feels like the readingroom one of Jason's favorites in the building]
[When they stepped into the room, Mark gasped. Sure, he wasn't as book heavy as many other people, but this? This was good.]
Tip right here and right now. If you ever get interviewed about this place, insist on getting a picture taken in here. It would look great. Oh, and consider hiring live performers every now and then to play, but short periods, in here.
[Damn it's nice. He moves around to touch the bookshelves.]
Thanks. And please feel free to tell your friends about this spot. This is meant to be like a nicer-looking version of those little free library sheds you sometimes see outside of people's houses. You can take book or donate a book here for free.
[The problem was that he didn't really have friends to bring here. He pauses for a moment, considering it. What it would be like to gather here with friends.]
[Well that makes Mark smile. He just didn't have a lot of people to share it with.]
I haven't exactly built up the greatest friend network since getting here, and I doubt Ripley would come here to do this when we already have The Bachelor night.

Too bad you're a businessman. You'd be a good assistant.

on 2022-11-30 05:36 am (UTC)Well if this place doesn't work out then I could use you as my backup plan then. And don't worry. The reading room further away from the karaoke.
no subject
on 2022-11-30 05:41 am (UTC)You're definitely not in my budget. Alright, I'm ready. Show me more.
no subject
on 2022-11-30 05:45 am (UTC)What do you think?
no subject
on 2022-11-30 05:47 am (UTC)[Mark has to stop. In fact, he steps in and turns around to consider it in full.]
Seriously, if I win the lottery, give me your designer information, so I can hire them.
no subject
on 2022-11-30 05:50 am (UTC)Will do. And to be fair, a lot of the furniture here I got refurbished.
no subject
on 2022-11-30 05:52 am (UTC)[Ah, but he should work.]
Sorry. Shouldn't get distracted. I won't charge you by the hour on this.

no subject
on 2022-11-30 04:22 pm (UTC)Thanks. Guess I just have a lot of faith in people. Also, you wouldn't be saying something if you really were gonna overcharge me.
no subject
on 2022-11-30 06:12 pm (UTC)Let's move on to another room then.

I've got friends that would so hang out in here.

no subject
on 2022-11-30 11:48 pm (UTC)Any chance you could put my picture at the bar with a sign that says 'no alcohol for this guy?'

no subject
on 2022-11-30 11:51 pm (UTC)Now there's an idea. It's almost the right season for it and we do plan to serve non-alcoholic drinks.
