[In Thorir's background, one can see what looks half like a tunnel, half like a normal street with houses on either side, many adorned with geometrical patterns. They are lit by lamps that just seem a bit out of place, hanging under the roof of the street like streetlamps, and a few houses on the street have signs on the door or otherwise look lived-in. It's all very clean and well-kept, though empty.]

As some of you know, there is a numbered colony inside the mountain that has risen under Las Vegas. The entrance is hidden, and we want to keep it that way so that it can remain a safe place for those numbered that don't want to leave America. Everyone is welcome to claim a house or room, there are plenty. A lot of the mountain isn't yet explored and might be unsafe, but there seem to be no monsters hiding in it like in the catacombs in Locke City, and the area that has electricity, wi-fi and mobile signal is safe. We also have running water.

...We'll just have to hope that they don't dig too deeply while building all the things on the mountain.

I will be participating in the attack on the Mafia. I already talked to Hjalti and he's coming with me. If anyone else from Vegas wants to join us, we'll go to Locke a few hours early so he can pick up some weapons at my store.

That said, if anyone needs firearms, a sword, and axe or daggers for this, contact me and I will set you up with it.

So... out of curiosity, what if he wanted to date your daughter again? Would you be happy for them?

[disdainfully]

My daughter is married and has three children. All other concerns aside, like that I like my son-in-law a lot, I doubt that he is fit to be a father of three, even if only by marriage.

He has enough money to send them to expensive boarding schools, and then to prestigious summer camps that hone impressive skills. Those don't leave enough time to actually parent for it to matter anyway.

What can your son in law do?

[Oh, shit. Great. Now it's a competition.]

[disdainfully]

Throwing money at your child is not being a parent.

[He's not even getting in on that.]

[dead_black_eyes]

Throwing anything at children is not parenting, and might even constitute abuse if the objects are hard or heavy enough.

[Sage wisdom. You're welcome.]

....

[He's not sure if he's being trolled or not, but.

Just no.

Sorry, Lazarus, this feed has just been ended.]

[She's been listening to the whole conversation and... What the fuck?] What did you think his response to that would be?

Something different.
