Well I expect something to cover the damages, because we just opened! We can't afford to fix the cracks and bend in the ceiling, Laurel.
-sighs deeply- We both have valid points and concerns... but Brie, you need to calm down. I have more donuts in my apartment.
You were holding out on me again!?
Yes, now go help yourself to them. Not the store ones. We don't need you eating the entire brownie stock like you did before our first day.

Oof, that makes it even worse. You don't know the cause of it... Did you try interrogation before you uh. 'Destroyed' him?
I know it's not good to hear treacherous talk, but understanding your enemy's important.
Also not thinking you're invulnerable helps. 'Cause like, that kind of pride is the first step before the fall, Horus.
Three words for you right here, straight out of the history books: The Titanic Sank.
They claimed that the ship couldn't be sunk, but an iceberg tore right through that bitch on the maiden voyage.

To my knowledge, which is almost entirely in the hands of the Japanese Soviet and therefore likely subject to a number of falsehoods and inaccuracies, most salamanders do not speak. I am a "special case", as they euphemistically put it, and have been subject to a myriad of procedures ever since I was but a tadpole. The speech itself is supplied by an implant — no small miracle that it still manages to function despite the water.

-Aichi looks nervously back and forth between Saitou (going to stick to calling him that since it's easier for me to remember) and the sea creature.-
"...T-They did procedures...?"
-What did they do to him?!-
-Yep, it's clear he's still an easily scared little boy. He's just better at hiding it than other Aichis.-

I-I guess I could pawn these off...?

No, you don't have to do that. Listen. I have a different proposition for you, that isn't you being sued.
Could you be a billboard for us, for a week or so?
Make a sign, advertising The Breezy Place. Generate customers for us.
Put a big arrow, pointing down to where the shop is. And if you need to sit down, sit down on a competing coffee shop, carefully without damaging their infrastructure, to avoid further lawsuits.
1.5 imperial gallons of tea were consumed during the writing of this post...You seem unfamiliar with our country's genetic engineering program. Unsurprising, perhaps, the People's Army is fraught with half-truths, and if the regime that proceeded ours were a pack of liars, it's safe to assume ours is as well. I've suspected as much for half my life... But that's beside the point. To put it short, I am a weapon.

"...B-But..."

-Aichi lost Broly. He didn't get to know him, but he could tell that Survivor really thought of him as a friend.-

-It's horrible, and weighs on both of their shoulders.-

S-sure, sir... I can do that.
"I like girls, but now, it's about justice."Outside The Breezy Place
Do that, and I promise I'll stop Brie from suing you for damages. You don't have money right now, so you wouldn't be able to pay us.
However, it isn't just our business at stake, it's also our home. Myself and Brie share an apartment above the coffee shop.
So, as much as I hate to rope you in like this, but it's the best way you can pay us back.

...Oh, uh— it's—, it's fine... Sorry, I'm just— I'm sort of groggy...
(The scrawny bloke does look a little out of it... He's also got his share of bandages, though seemingly for superficial cuts on his hands and face, little bandaids here and there.)
(The plumper, wheelchair-bound bloke looks to have some deeper wounds under those bandages, which are lightly spotted with blood. He's not saying anything, but is peering up at Sam.)
...Not actually my bloodline—... well... I suppose it could be interpreted something like that, there were a few prototypes before me. But you are correct about breaking the cycle.
(Gurgles a bit, perhaps for emphasis.)
Life does not satisfy, but it approaches satisfaction the most when it does not entail battle.

"Yeah I getcha, don't worry about it. I was kinda zoned it, it's partly on me too."
At that moment she seems to process the state the two are in and pauses for a second before hesitantly saying, "Do... you two need any help? Sorry if that's a bad question."

It's okay, I forgive you.
People can't help their ignorance sometimes.
So, lets try and start from square one rather than linger on what you did.
My name's Laurel, this is The Breezy Place. A new coffee shop, owned by Brie, but I do almost all of the work.
I'd offer you a coffee and a brownie but I doubt anything we have in stock would be able to have any effect on you.

-Aichi gives a small smile.-
"It's nice to meet you, Julie."
"Nice to meet you."
-Hmm...-
"Um... Are you enjoying the city?"
-She said she hasn't been here that long, but she's definitely had more time to get used to it than they have.-
"It sort of reminds me of home a little..."
-It's not really that similar to Hitsue, but the atmosphere of the city actually feels much more like home than the Room did.-
"...I think I know what you mean."
