- A poetically ironic arson attempt at a sector 9 dive bar has suspected corporate conspiracy ties, as ’Retail Hell’ nearly went up in flames last night. The small fire, started in the tiny unisex back lavatory, was saved when a hydrokinetic doused the blaze.

The corner drinking establishment has been popular among lower level AGI and SERO service and retail employees alike. Its stools are often packed at happy hour, when workers feel at home and comfortable to gripe and groan about their employers. Founded after Boxing Day in 1996 by a collective of retail workers who grew tired of abuse in the industry, this bar’s motto(as posted over the door) is: “The Customer is Occasionally Dead Wrong”.

Although backed by AGI, here corporate rivalries are laid down at a companionable truce, booze is dirt cheap, and the bottom rung always slings juicy tar and swaps vitriolic spittle about middle management- to such notoriety that many respectable managers have refused to hire regulars at Retail Hell. Despite this, the bartenders are discreet and have never sold out their clientele on any blacklist.

However, there are plenty of corporate profiteers, both AGI and SERO affiliated, who would love to send the place up in smoke. Police have been investigating several leads, but in the meantime Retail Hell is temporarily closed for business and undergoing inspection for further tampering to darkness proofing.

Aight, so I'm looking to talk to anybody who was involved with Merlotte's before Sam left. Me and him hadn't gotten to talk much right around then so I dunno what his plans or anything were, but it's looking pretty clear he ain't coming back soon and I wanna make sure some things are taken care of.

Uh, what else - Oh, yeah. Anybody good with like... decorating? I'm moving into a bigger house and I kinda never lived anywhere that big. I don't know where to start with it. I mean, I kinda know, but I'm pretty busy at work and I figure, hey, let the professionals do it.

Anybody who's looking for work, too, I'm gonna need a housekeeper. And a groundskeeper.

And I'm keeping my old place, so if anybody's getting kicked out at the end of the month, we can talk about rent if you're looking for a two-bedroom place. Well, three-bedroom if you put somebody in the attic. It's nice, I promise.

Holy shit, this is all boring stuff. I swear I'll throw a party or something soon.

How often do people who vanish come back?

Statistically speaking, how long does it usually take before you can pretty much accept that they aren't coming back?

It should be a good thing, should it not? For someone to return to the world in which they belong. They are going back to friends and family... We should be glad of that. Yet it is still painful to lose that person, because they are your dear friend.

I am glad for the friendships I have made here, however temporary they may be.
