I have three quarters of a million dollars in a duffel bag. I know where it's going if no one holds me accountable.
Please say yes.
Please say yes.
[wait for it]
WHAT!? WHERE DID YOU-
DID I HEAR THAT RIGHT!?

My roommate echoed back a bar of very pure gold. She was frightened and didn't want it. I told her I could get rid of it. So it's gone, and now there's this bag of money, and my phone won't stop ringing.
Say yes.
Say yes.
[Well. Okay, that sure was an explanation wasn't it.
aaand then it finally dawns on Ray how... pushy L is being about this whole coffee shop thing um. Creepy?]
Uh. Sure? I mean, this is kinda sudden, y'know.

Yeah, I... know it's sudden.
[So maybe Ray deserves a bit more of an explanation.]
The person I know who moved that gold bar for me knows that I was... am an addict. He thinks he's going to see the money again very soon, and I don't want that to happen. I thought that since you saved my life, and I owe you... I'd be able to handle this amount of money more responsibly if it was going toward something that you want, too.

Oooh Jesus. Um. Shit.
[this is Ray's brain exploding okay. you've exploded his brain.]
Okay, first of all, you don't owe me anything. Okay?
Second, if this is something you wanna do, if you think we can open a joint and run it and everything, then count me in. I mean, it might take a while to get something like that up and running.

If you're worried about how much self control I have... it's usually enough. I'm clean for two years, not counting some catnip. They just... included something gratis, I found it when I was going through the bag and I've been staring at it all day.
I do want it. As much as I complained, I liked it, and I liked working there. It was a point of stability and it helped me.

Gratis... oh.
[well that's no good]
You at your place?
[well that's no good]

Okay.
I think we ought to talk about this in person. All of this.

I'm not really ready for visitors... and I'll be OK. I'm going to flush it. In a little while.
[He's been trying to gather the conviction for hours.]

You need to get rid of that shit. Don't wait.
"Need" is a confusing word right now.
Don't worry, I'll do it.
Don't worry, I'll do it.
Okay. If you say you'll do it, then you'll do it.
You're right though. About needing to talk about this in person soon. I don't know a lot about running a business.
I don't really either. We're gonna have a lot of homework to do.
You know the shop, though. What worked and what didn't. I want to rebuild it exactly the way it was.
[He smiles a little at that.]
Maybe you are the Highlander. An alien Highlander with antenna.
[All right, awkwardness gone at that, Nick makes a face at him and reaches over to pull his hand away.]
Don't do that, you'll end up making yourself get stuck here longer. No one wants to see your lose your mind. More than usual.

[blugh antenna. Blugh nick stopping Ray from doing stupid things. blugh blugh blugh]
Oh, there's something else too. There's little metal things like, in my spine now. I mean I can't see them because they're behind me, but that's what the doctor said.

That's true.
I don't... know if the lay out should be the same.

Since you're an owner and the head manager, I'll defer to your judgment on that.
This would be easier in person.
[He's a holy wreck right now, so...]
I guess your schedule's probably pretty free, so... how about Tuesday evening? Maybe I can get my roommate to make dinner.
[OOC: Aaaaand I can totally set up a log if you're game]
