Text | Locked to Unseelie plus Lancelot, Kaldur, and Flora

[The message is simple, because there's no reason to elaborate. Everyone knows what's happening and where it'll be. But it needs to be done, so that no one comes to him at the last minute to find things shuttered.]

The Barrel will be closing as of the 27th.

Thank you for your patronage. It has meant the world.

One can hope. [ A wry quirk of a smile ]

Just 'sappy' enough, I would think.

[gordianknots]

Ah, excellent then.

[bythewaves]

[ A small huffed sound a little too sad to be amusement ]

Should I write a lament bemoaning its closure now, I belive that would be too sappy.

[gordianknots]

Okay, yes, that would be the limit. Funeral dirge for a coffee shop.

[That'd be a great book title though.]

[bythewaves]

I mean, if you wanted me to I suppose I could manage something... [ a shy tease ] But I rather think you to have better taste than that!

[gordianknots]

Definitely not. Besides, I have a feeling after the battle's over, you might end up having some commissions for songs anyway.

[ a sigh ]

I fear you will be proven right there. Well. You have done all you can to mitigate the damage to those innocents caught in the path of the oncoming storm, which is more than most can say.

[gordianknots]

Something that wouldn't have been possible if you and everyone else hadn't helped to the extent that you did. I am so grateful to you for that.

[bythewaves]

True enough! But it was you who saw the need and organized it. If not for you, I think the damage would be far higher.

[gordianknots]

Let's see what's done after the battle's over and then make that decision.

[bythewaves]

Mm, we shall. I will be available should you need me - for the nonce I plan on laying low.

[gordianknots]

Good, same here. Contact me when the dust settled.

[bythewaves]

Aye, I will. Stay safe!

[gordianknots]

You too.
