Don't mention it, just glad I can help!

[ Hibiki starts unloading bottles from the top-most crate before setting them down on the bar counter. Assorted beer and mead--they aren't established enough yet for the brewers and distillers to hand off entire casks yet, but given time (and enough foot traffic in the area) that will probably change.

Wiping her brow, she smiles up at Cedrik brightly. ]

I kinda figured. Places like this are easy to build up so long as you have enough buy-in. How goes recruitment, by the way? Anyone else lined up to help? Where have you been advertising for members?

[ From the counter Cedrik takes those bottles and begins to line the shelves behind the bar. Little by little it's all coming together... ]

Mm, well...most of this has been myself alone. In truth you're the first volunteer I've had.

[ He really is just winging it, after all. With one crate emptied he moves on to the second, finding it full of empty mugs to go along with the bottles. These will be more useful when they do get kegs, but it's better to have something and not yet it quite yet than to wait and be wanting. ]

After all, I still lack the means to pay anyone else, at least for now. [ He smiles apologetically at Hibiki with a shrug. ] As for members, I asked around on Soulidarity some sennights back--that's where I first got the idea.

Really? Nobody else stepped up?

[ Is she going to need to knock some skulls together to get people to join? Where's everyone's can-do attitude? Unlife isn't all about making some quick coin, and honestly Hibiki is a bit disappointed that others can't see the use of having a company together to help with those jobs that might not otherwise be tackled.

The small blonde heaves a sigh before putting a hand on her hip. PR isn't necessarily her strong suit, but... ]

Then it might just be that you and I tackle what we can from now and try to get things rolling through word-of-mouth. See if we can have some of the people we help recommend us. But that's good to know, though. I should probably keep that in mind when the time comes.

Oh no, most of those I asked were interested, but I was only looking for folk to join, not to help establish it in the first place.

[ That would have been far too brazen, going around asking for people to do all the hard work for him. He's glad to take help when offered, that's why Hibiki is here, but he's not really the type to ask for it, unfortunately...

He empties his armful of mugs onto the shelf below the bar before gesturing around the still partly-finished tavern. ]

Once we finish here, I'll announce the guild properly and open up recruitment.

[ Speaking of which there should be a blank book at the bottom of one of these crates... ]
