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.

[Mildmay has thought this through:] Ain't gonna take you some place you can get mugged just as easy as seeing the sights. The tours're nice, and you look foreign, so nobody'd think you was flat.
[action.]
The clothes probably would give me away. [Sigh, looking foreign. At least the same'd be true of Mildmay.]
[action.]
Mostly it's the hair. [He shrugs.]
[action.]
Really? I figured there'd be some redheads where you're from. [I mean, look at you, Mildmay.]
[action.]
Naw, me and Felix's the only ones. And I dyed my damn hair up 'til my third septad, roundabouts.
[action.]
Really? It's kind of weird, having red hair, at home, but it's not thatunusual.
[action.]
Really, huh? Everybody with red hair's bad luck, I hear, and also from Troia, which is a bit more true.
[action.]
So where's Troia?
[action.]
South and East by a bit. Basically, cross the ocean.
[action.]
Huh. Is that where you and your brother're from?
