For those of you I haven't introduced myself to yet, my name is Dr. Stephen Strange.
The more recently arrived may not know but thanks to the generosity of Morningstar we own two buildings in New Amsterdam: one is the garage above the current safehouse and the other is a bar under the sports stadium in the city.
The latter we intend to open soon as Red Wings, a working sports bar, with a view to ensuring financial independence and security for us as a group going forward. It's been in the works for a while, will operate under the management of myself and [Bad username or site: clarke @ griffin], and we're looking for a staff.
We'll need bar staff and security for busier periods. We're aiming to create as much opportunity as possible, so if you're interested don't hold back on letting us know. There's no application, no bar work experience necessary, we'll just need to speak with you to figure out suitability and availability. If you're interested in a security position I need to stress that power use is absolutely out of bounds, so experience will be a little more important here.
If any of the more financially established of you can volunteer time or resources while we get this off the ground, that will also be appreciated. Any of you with significant Cooltalk followings, I'd like to talk about collaborating to help us hit the ground running.
Any questions, interest checks, etc, you can get in touch with me here or with Clarke or myself personally via direct message.

[ There's nothing sheepish about the admission: the range is a display of his naivety in this industry, sure, but it was entirely intentional. He's a scientist. He may not have much business savvy outside of making bids for funding that he was almost always guaranteed and how to do the math on whether or not a patient was worth his time, but he does know how to conduct research.
Sometimes practical just happens to be better than academic. Especially when failed experiments mean more liquor for you and yours.
Stephen's been stood quietly as Nathan gets on with it, arms folded and leaning against the frame of the door that leads out to the store and backrooms (and to something else entirely), but when he's addressed and it's clear the bulk of the initial inspection is done, he breaks his silent observation to cross to the bar and fix himself something too.
Whiskey and little water. It takes him no time at all to pull together— somebody's clearly plenty familiar with his whiskey of choice at the very least.
Sip. ]
Think you can manage it?

He splashes a rum he doesn't recognize into his glass, examining the contents just before snorting at the question. ]
I once worked in a cantina that was frequented by the cartel. Compared to that, I think we're gonna be fine.
[ Nate indulges in a small, appraising sip. ]
So who's volunteered so far, and for what? If I'm gonna help manage and get people up to speed, I wanna know what we're working with.
