So what is your beef with that bar? You're just pissed about having a business rival?

[conflictresolution]

Rivalry is good for business.

[nightwild]

So why did you seem like you were so pissed about that place?

[conflictresolution]

The place itself means nothing to me. Why are you so interested?

[nightwild]

Vi offered me some help when I showed up. Even if I haven't taken her up on that yet, I still wanna repay the kindness.

So I gotta make sure you're not planning anything.

[conflictresolution]

What myself and the other business proprietor do is none of your business.

[nightwild]

It's my business if you're planning to burn it down or land shark it or whatever.

[conflictresolution]

Is it your little safe haven now?

[nightwild]

I haven't stepped foot inside there yet.

Quit dodging the question, old man.

[conflictresolution]

Then you have no vested interest in what I do or how I do it.

[nightwild]

The more you dodge, the more you sound like you're planning something.

[conflictresolution]

I have no reason to answer you, least of all after I attempted to be helpful towards you.

[nightwild]

Because if something does happen, it's gonna look like you did it, and then I have to beat up an old man.

[and here she was just hoping to prove it was nothing and she didn't have to be worried about this.]

[conflictresolution]

Threatening me with assault? My, my, your talent for burning bridges knows no bounds, does it?

[nightwild]

Huh? There's no bridges around here, and you're the one I'm worried about burning things, stupid.

[you, uh. you may need to try that again.]

[conflictresolution]

Brazen and stupid. That's a bad combination.

[nightwild]

You know, even if I know I'm stupid, it's still not something I want to hear from you.

[conflictresolution]

What do you expect when you came at people with such an attitude?

[nightwild]

[She wants to throw out some sarcasm here.

Unfortunately, sarcasm is not truth, so instead:]

I think the yakuza land shark staring at a rival bar is a bigger problem than my attitude.

[conflictresolution]

[He's suddenly left in confusion.]

What is a 'yakuza land shark'? I've never heard such a term before.

[nightwild]

... Uh. Isn't that what you are?

[Hold on. Give her a minute.]

They're like... People who try to ruin businesses, so they can buy the land for cheap, then sell the land for higher.

[conflictresolution]

Why would I resell my businesses? They are my successes.

[nightwild]

Not yours. The other one. The one you're beefing with.

Yakuza are organized crime assholes who do all sorts of shitty tactics like that to get money however they can.

[conflictresolution]

[Oh, that does sound like him. Just not here.]

And you believe that I'm an asshole called Yazuka? That's quite the assumption given I've never heard that term before in my life.

[nightwild]

Skulking outside of rival stores to try to crush them and buy them out cheap is what yakuza do. Among other shit. They're cowards who won't fight fair, so they only pick on the weak or the homeless.

If you're not that, then what's your problem with that bar?
