<Etiquette> “Hey there, Brigand. Etiquette here.”

<Etiquette> "Saw you haven't been doing too hot recently. Dealin' with the Longbeard situation and the destruction of CMC, right? I get it. You may not believe me, but I get it. I've never been one to talk much about the past, but.."

<Etiquette> "..Let us leave it with the fact I should not be alive."

<Etiquette> "They say that at the end of the universe is a bar. Let's meet there, eh?"

“Black Torrent Mercenary Company, signing off.”

P.S. “Persephone, if you see this first. Grendel will be comin' along too, should you both accept."

<PERSEPHONE> YOU TIMING IS IMPECCABLE, BRIGAND WAKES AND THE CHILDREN ARE NO WHERE TO BE SEE.

[Brigand}- *big yawn* Aye, I'm awake. Wasn't you who said I needed to rest?

<PERSEPHONE> YES. NOW THAT YOU HAVE RESTED, YOU MUST GRIEVE.

[Brigand}- I. . . *sigh*

[Brigand}- No. You're right. . .

[Brigand}- It does feel like the end of the universe, doesn't it? Hanging here in the shattered remains of a god. . .

<PERSEPHONE> YOU ARE WELCOME ABOARD THE DEMETER'S BOUNTY ETIQUETTE. YOU AND BRIGAND WILL DRINK AND YOU WILL REMEMBER.

[Brigand}- Umm, I myself would have put it more eloquently. But she is right, I could use a drink and someone to talk to. Someone who understands.

<PERSEPHONE> I LOOK FORWARDS TO GRENDEL'S CONVERSATION. THEY ARE A BETTER POET THAN MOST.

[Brigand}- Well well well!? Never thought I'd see the day. Persephone's made a friend! You two are most certainly welcome aboard, perhaps we'll christen a new keg tonight. . .

PERSEPHONE WATCHES.
