One sec.

I get that this doesn't look as much like me, but I assure you that the hair color is really irrelevant.

@Legend

No, I get it. Hair dye and stuff. I gotcha. Well, that’s a surprise, to be sure. It’s just a shame about recent events.

Close enough, I guess. I wouldn't expect him to be gone long—Sven has a track record, so even if he falls, falls hard, falls so far that you look down into the pit and say "wow, that's far," he always manages to climb back up.

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

Hmm... No, I think I’m good. How about you?

@Galaxy Raider

Nope! Everything checks out here!

@Techspert

Awesome. Well...
*Leaves a stack of cash on the table as I get up*
Let’s find the way home, I guess.

@Legend

I’ve heard about his controversial past, but I can only say that you probably know more than I about the details. Regardless, I sure hope you’re right. A big hole was left in the absence of he and his colleagues, and it’s been filled, sure, but it’s not the same.

@Galaxy Raider

Hey, wait. Let me cover this one.

@Heroic

There's a controversy about him? I just thought it was him being a regular dude who made some stupid choices.

@Techspert

Oh, that wasn’t just the food, it was a tip. If there’s one thing we’ve got, it’s money. I always do this, so don’t fret it. Leaving nice places like this a generous amount of cash is something I enjoy.

@Galaxy Raider

I get that, but you're supposed to pay for friends who are hurting. I read it on The Internet's Guide to Friends.

@Legend

About his mental and emotional stability. He’s slipped in the past and lots of people suffered for it, but he’s also good at making amends. But people still fear about him falling into that pit you mentioned again.

*Laughs*
I really appreciate the sentiment, but you’re fine. It’s really no trouble.

In that case, thank you.

@Heroic

How many chances do you have to give?

[Galaxy Raider]

<Snipped quote by Galaxy Raider>

In that case, thank you.

@Techspert

Don’t mention it. It’s the small things.

@Legend

What do you mean?

[Legend]

<Snipped quote by Legend>

What do you mean?

@Heroic

Most leaders don't get to slip up at all. How forgiving is your society?

@Galaxy Raider

You're not, like, inflating the economy or anything, right?

@Legend

Well, I’ll be fully honest on this one. Firstly, I don’t know of a single person or method of restraining that man if he doesn’t want to be. He’s too danged tough and has too many connections. Secondly, he’s darned good at what he does, and his existence, when he’s working for the good guys- which he always is except in those “slip up” moments we mentioned- he makes just about everything so much easier on everyone. And no one takes that for granted, since, just like right now, we’ve been in situations without him. They’re livable, but man do they suck... In short, even if we question him and his motivations, that man gives a lot more to the well being of society than just about anyone is even capable of.

@Techspert

Oh, no. Not at all. I’m not dropping them, like, millions or anything. Just enough for them to be genuinely surprised at the prospect.

@Heroic

Isn't relying on someone, especially someone who isn't a constant, extremely dangerous for your society?
