The "Ambrosia" - Colonial Bar on Sabah Shipyard

[Arioch]

Lou patted Darion on the back for moving that fast and switching out all the bottles. Unfortunately, Lou's office now was home to an assortment of alcohol, but better safe in here than in the hands of this Marcus and Cryoto fella.

"Seriously, you and the boys who helped get a free round later tonight! You moved almost all the bottles not in boxes, and were able to fill empty bottles with water and even add some coloring in there all in a matter of minutes? Damn, you make me proud boy!" Lou said with a chuckle.

Lou and Darion continued watching, as Marcus filled up his bag with the fake bottles, recording it the entire step of the way. Lou leaned over to Darius when Marcus was almost done, and whispered "Are you sure adding drops of laxative was needed? I mean. I appreciate a good prank for would-be thieves, but I don't want to have a mess on my hands... or, well your hands if they can't reach the exit in time." He laughed after saying that. "You know what, no. This is going to be fun"

As Marcus left the storeroom, Lou walked out of his office and into the bar area, right as Marcus walked out from the back. "Little lost lad? No worries, happens a lot." Lou reached out and put a hand on Marcus's shoulder, calmly but firmly ensuring he couldn't get away. "Come, lets have a drink and I'll tell you a story of when I got lost my first time on Sabah." He motioned to Cryoto when walking by "You lad look like you could use a good story lad as well, standing there all alone. DARION! A bottle of your finest for these gentlemen!" Lou yelled.

As Lou and the two boys sat down, he noticed how careful Marcus was in setting down the bag fill of bottles, trying his best not to have the bottles clank against one another and give away his secret stash. As Darion approached, he set down a bottle and gave Lou a very subtle wink, and left. Lou poured both of them a drink, and raised his own glass he had been carrying. "A toast to stories and adventures, and times never to be forgotten!" He watched intently as they both glanced at eachother, and then sipped their drink.

"Now, where to begin. It's a long one, so get comfortable! Lets see here. Ah yes! It was back when I was a young lad..."
