You know what this place could use? A nightclub.

Don't get me wrong, I like Good Spirits a lot, but you can't exactly go there for dinner and dancing. The pizzeria seems like it has room for musicians, but pizza's not exactly ritzy. Sometimes you just want to go somewhere nice and hear a good band, you know? Putting a Tex Beneke record on just isn't the same.

It wouldn't even have to be dance music all the time, either. Just some piano music, like--oh, what's his name--Chopin plays would be nice. We probably don't have enough musicians here to make a full-sized band anyway.

I'm not asking for the Stork Club here--Lord knows I wouldn't get in if I was--but there oughta be something else to do here at night. For the most part, this place is great, but it's kind of a one-horse town when it comes to entertainment.

If I'm thinking 'Vegas,' I guess? Dunno if we have enough mobsters to keep the tables going around here, though. [Sorry, Haruhi, she's not taking this particularly seriously.]

[godbent]

If there are mobsters, wouldn't they be less obvious about it? It's not like this is proper turf they can control, and must thugs big time enough to run that sort of operation are ones who have proper brain cells.

[poorneedyand.livejournal.com]

Maybe, but it's always sort of an open secret, isn't it? I could point to places at home that're probably mob-owned, if you asked me to.

[godbent]

That's because it's their turf though. Lots of thugs, they know the land... mobsters or yakuza control places because of power and consent, like you said. In a place like Luceti, they'd have ot be sitting on their hands or trying to restructure things. Probably.

[poorneedyand.livejournal.com]

You might be right. [On the other hand, you might be, what, fifteen or sixteen? Grain of salt.] But even so, this place is tiny, and mobsters aren't exactly known for the kind of patience you'd need to keep quiet for that long.

[godbent]

Hm- point! [Seventeen (physically) in July. Amazing what going home and back will do to your personal timeline. But she sounds frustrated there before nodding]

Either way, seconding on the music thing. Wonder if we could hire up Luka for it...

[poorneedyand.livejournal.com]

[Seventeen, then. Still young enough to be Kay's kid, perish the thought.]

Who's Luka? If he's talented, he'd certainly be welcome.

[godbent]

[Wonders never cease.

That said, she just laughs] I hope she is, because she'd designed for that purpose!

[poorneedyand.livejournal.com]

Designed for that purpose? [Sorry for getting your friend's gender wrong, kid, but her ears just pricked up.] How d'you mean?

[godbent]

I mean she's built to sing - she's an android, their cute little moniker name is "Vocaloid."

[poorneedyand.livejournal.com]

A Vocaloid, huh? [Take her to your little robot friend, Haruhi, she wants to meet her. Sounds like a story she wrote once, years ago.] Well, if she sings, I wouldn't turn her away.

[godbent]

Good, good. I'll have to drop her producer a line later or get ahold of her myself... [Man why did things have to get so complicated with her]

[poorneedyand.livejournal.com]

If you could do that, that'd be great. Let me know, all right?

[godbent]

Will do! And you keep me posted on if you need that copier. Publishing something will be a big boost to the Brigade's status, even if it's by proxy.
