Wrinkling her nose at the mention of the slots.
"Gotta do what you gotta do I guess. Still, kind of a vibe killer."
She gestures with her arm at the casino floor.
"I much prefer the style and luxury you got here."

Yakura smirked. "You're such a snob." She said as she flicked some alcohol onto the woman. "OH thank you. No one ever says nice things like that to me." She smiled, and finished her drink. "I'll confess, I don't have much of an action plan when it comes to the whole bidding game, besides offering money and doing our best. Though if we can unlock some investments along the way, I'll be quite happy."Yoritomo Ochiba wrote: Sat Nov 08, 2025 4:56 am

Smirking
"People have to feel like stuff is happening. And they have the infrastructure for it but not the vibe, the vibe is important, wouldn't you agree?"

A new glass full of...stuff is placed in front of Ochiba. This one's actually...fairly clear.Yoritomo Ochiba wrote: Mon Nov 10, 2025 3:30 am

"If you're up for a challenge..." Yakura gestured at the clear glass. "There's local stuff and...local stuff. If you know what I mean. This is more craft than commercial. And more grandpa's brewing something in the backyard than craft."
She snapped her fingers. "And the governor is trying to do something about the vibe, at least. There hasn't been such a hubbub on the island in a long while. They even let Spiders on the island! And Crane!"

Ochiba picks up the glass and swirls it, inhaling the fiery painful fumes.
"Probably gonna knock my tabi clean off."
While she's building up to it she looks over.
"Surprised they let Spider turn up, makes me wonder if they're a bit desperate, you know. Crane...uggh, just means we're gonna have to listen to more poetry."

"Technically they're both allies, you know." She smirked. "Never heard drunken Crane poetry? It is the beeeeest." She laughed out loud.Yoritomo Ochiba wrote: Mon Nov 10, 2025 3:48 am

Then she suddenly looked at O-chan's drink with concern. "In a...bathtub? Do you...think it would have been done in one of the bathtubs on the ship?" Her brows furrowed in concern. "The cook bringing it up said he made it himself...and he does have access to the rooms...and there was a report of some nastiness there, thought it was a guest..."
Her knuckles turned white. "Fuck, I'll have to bribe the inspectors more, uuuuugh."

On that note Ochiba downs half the glass in one gulp. Her eyes start tearing and there's a suppressed cough as her cheeks redden.
Pained."Not bad...not bathtub though, more like." Taking another sip. "homemade still, left a fair bit of residue in there. Gives it a real kick."
While she ponders the rest of the glass.
"Wooooow, that bad huh? The Crab that strict about this stuff?"

"What pays for the roads here you think?" She smirked. "Taxes and bribes." She sighed, then reached for the glass. "Let me try. I didn't dare until you did it first."

Ochiba slides over the glass with a smirk.
"Imagine taking bribes but still being a stickler about alcohol licensing, I mean, pick a lane? You know?"
