[The message opens on Allison trying to look Very Serious. She'd be steepling her fingers except the camera is on one of her wrists and that'd mess things up.]

So. Unlimited shopping funds. Along with having fun and treating ourselves, what I see here is an Opportunity.

Behold, your bar and café-

[The view pans over the bar on the side of the mess hall and then the café counter next door.]

Decent, yes. Serviceable. Quaint. But basically just an afterthought tacked onto the mess hall. But! Especially with the ship's growing population... What if we went big?

I'm talking getting our own room and making a snazzy new dedicated bar-and-cafe! Custom tables! Lounge chairs! Jukeboxes! Maybe a dance floor. Nachos.

[Her spiel over, Allison suddenly takes a -10 penalty to all confidence rolls.]

So, uh, what does everybody think? And like... What do you want out of a café and/or bar?

Senior Beverage Dissemination Officer Miles Vorkosigan here. While it seems like an attractive idea and I commend your creativity, I can't say I don't have concerns. Consolidating the bar and café into a one-stop shop would make it a hell of a lot easier for underage crew members to get a hold of liquor. I'm not convinced it's a good idea to be distributing alcohol in an all-ages setting, although I do like the idea of a café lounge. We've had live music at the bar on and off -- I think that'd make a nice addition to a café lounge as well.

[Wow, so formal. Allison laughs to cover the fact that she's stinging a little at the kind-of sort-of rejection.]

You say that like we aren't already neighbors. But hey, I'm not going to force anyone to move!

But, uh, if you're having trouble with kids getting drinks, you might want to start issuing adult IDs or starting a Do Not Serve list or something.
