After a pirating day in his Titan, caught some bold traders venturing through Omegas without escort, Diego came back to guy Asesino bar for another iced rum and probably some swine. Upon passing through the entrance, he noticed "Liberty Ale: $900 per millilite". He was like "wtf?".
Walking into the bar, he saw Asesino poolish some antiques at the end of the drawers. Diego got close to him and asked: "How your business going, amigo? Looks like our lazy Sairs got burned in the suns before they could even think about getting here." fake laughs...
"Ahhh Draggy, finally someone to talk to! This place has been quiet." he said as he poured himself a rum. "As for burning in suns i hope they were tanning, flying into a Corona is rather hot, and deadly." he finished as he looked over to Quijote. "Anyway, shot of Ron coming up Quijote and that smell is Crete Cow roasting next to some Crete chicken. In case you are wondering they do not taste like the Earth chicken and cow but those names were the best the people could come up with for those species of animals that were brought here by Corsairs before they evolved to better survive the Crete atmosphere. He said as he turned the meat over on the grill."
"Rather strange in my opinion, but hey, they taste good! Just avoid the Crete Cow spleen. That stuff's acidic."
"Aha! Another amigo! welcome to Asesino's bar, you must try the rum here, it's great!", he greeted Quijote and then turned his mind to the grills.
"Chicken? is that a kind of bird?" Diego took a look at the grill... "How amazing it's a bird with very short wings!". And his face was like this:
"The last time I was here, I had swine, and yes, it was swine! And now, For the amigos! For the Imperio! For the grills, let's cheer!" Diego raised his cup, answering Quijote's call.
Asesino raises his glass and then empties it in approximatly 2.593 seconds, according to the new "drink-o-matic" he had installed. The thing then decided that it didn't like this and restricted Asesino from the rum for the rest of the night. "Damn thing, i'll be throwing you out in the morning." It somehow managed to pickup on Asesino's malicious intent and promptly served him 3 rum's in quick succession.
"anyway, nope." He said to Quijote. "there isn't any swine-like animal on Crete, but Diego was eating real pig. One of the guys on another Sleeper ship apparently paid a lot of money to take his pregnant pet pig with him. The thing survived and they cloned it." he explained. "However, a side effect of the Cloning is that every pig has to be shot before it reaches Maturity due to a strange disease they pick up that makes them ill and can kill us if we eat them."
"Was that because I'm drunk, ...hic... or you were joking? I ...hic... think I heard eating pig can ...hic... kill ...hic... You are scaring me, si? I had ...hic... more than a dish." After having drunk much rum, Diego started to see many him's and amigos around. He's not very good at drinking after all, but he couldn't and shouldn't refuse hermanos' offer. "I must kick myself out before I was punched by one of mes", he thought to himself, while still raising he reloaded cup... "Hic..."
"Uhhh, Diego, i think you've had too much Mate. Here, have some Stuttgart coffee, that'll sort you out real good, just don't ask whats its made from." said Asesino, sliding over a mug of nice smelling liquid which was boiling hot, but had a slightly green tinge to the dark brown colour it held.
Asesino walked out of the Bar late at night to put up a new sign which was the same as the old one except it said in addition now: "Bring a friend and the rum stays free".
He then came out a few hours later and appended "Free rum for friendless people" to the bottom of the new sign.
