The Rules

The next morning Ulric was up bright any early after doing a little hunting after the café closed, he was surprised how fast and easy it was to hunt the same monsters, the difference provided by the cloth armor was immense these monsters died in a single hit.

He was hanging a few signs up around the main room after hanging the same signs in the Elswind branch, each one stated the same thing:

THE RULES

1. NO SKIPPING THE QUEUE

2. NO DISRESPECTING THE STAFF

3. WEAPONS MUST BE UNEQUIPPED INSIDE THE CAFE

Ulric assumed his guise of the waitress and hung the last one on the door so it could be seen from outside, he then opened the blinds to see the long queue, and when the staff were ready he opened for the day.

It was busier than ever, seems word had spread about LL and people were really excited about it, come closing time they had to turn a lot of people away as they didn't have time to serve them, Ulric was excited about this and began to plan to expand already but he wasn't in a rush, he had one thing he wanted to take care of first and so when he made everyone their after work meals he sat down with them, he had come to trust these people and so began telling his story about the accident and the betrayal by his aunt and cousin, Aika looked close to tears, the D's looked like they wanted to punch someone and Slick had a face like thunder,

"Betraying family? lowest scum on the planet!!"

Ulric smiled at their reactions, perfect. He went on to describe his plan for revenge and drawing his aunt out, and also what he wanted them to do if she showed up, as all he wanted was to know at this point was her in game identity.

After Aika left Slick sent the d's off saying he wanted to talk to the boss alone for a while, they nodded and left the two of them to talk,

"Did you need something?" Ulric asked,

"No Paul I have to introduce myself," Ulric was shocked, how did he know his name? "My real name is Andrew Walker, and the supervisor you worked with was my cousin, you could have sent him to prison for a long time but didn't, my family have been looking for you to thank you for that,"

"He was a friend and It was an accident he had no way of preventing, I wouldn't send him to jail for something like that," Ulric explained,

"Still, thanks,"

"It was no problem, have a good night Slick, I have a bit of hunting to do,"

"Ok, see you tomorrow boss!"

and Ulric left, that was a little awkward.
