Dimensional Descent

"So it's like that?" Leonel smiled. "No big deal."

Leonel turned back toward the freshmen who were sitting in a bit of an awkward situation. They weren't sure if they should all be leaving now or not. After all, this shop was no longer under the ownership of its original owner.

"No worries everyone, drink and chat to your heart's content. Everything is on me tonight. Tomorrow, I'll close this place down for some renovations and will open it back up the day after so you'll only miss out on a day.

"After that, it will be business as usual plus some added perks."

The freshmen were stunned for a moment before they cheered. Free drinks and food? Which of them wouldn't be excited about such a thing?

Plus, this place was actually finally getting some renovations? Who knows how long they had been waiting for such a thing? Their only worry was that prices might go up along with them.

"Give me something mild, Mernik. I'm not a big drinker." Leonel said.

Leonel had never really understood the fascination with alcohol. Though he had been underage on Earth, considering his track record, there were plenty of ways for him to break the law. The issue was that alcohol wasn't something he found worthwhile to break the law for.

It was gross and harsh on the throat. Plus, Leonel could never seem to get drunk in the past, so there wasn't even a reward or buzz at the end waiting for him.

By now, Leonel knew that that was likely because of the vomit brew his dad had fed him for years. But, he had already missed his window to join the 'cool kids'.

At this moment, he was content with sipping on something a middle aged wine mom would love the taste of. He could almost hear his teammates jeering him in the back. Even Mernik was giving him weird looks.
