Given all the rah rah rah for morality that I've seen lately, I figure the topic should be broached.

To me, it doesn't makes a difference and that's what's taken me so long to get to it. If kids want to drink, they're going to find a way to get to what they want. Not to mention, I hardly hold the monopoly on alcohol. [ he's getting to his point in a very roundabout way, yes. ] I'd also like to say that there isn't a day that goes by that I don't see at least one person drinking on camera, drunk texting or boasting about their inebriated state in some manner or another. More often than not, they're what I'd consider underage. And I'm not inclined to give much of a shit about where the product is going because I'm not profiting from it specifically in monetary value.

We don't have a set legal system. Each of us are from countries or worlds where the age cap varies or is completely irrelevant.

That being said, my point is: should there be an age restriction on those I knowingly permit into [ hm, no he's not going to say my ] an establishment where drinking and partying could lead to one thing and then another? I've seen an awful lot of preaching about save the children. God forbid we overlook their sweet, virgin eyes. If we're going to be stuck together for an indefinite amount of time, this might as well be addressed to [ huh, okay, what word does he want to use with you assholes? ] keep the peace. Or something like it. So, let's have it.

Don't care, couldn't be made to care or alternatively, open it to discussion. [ he's bored enough to let strangers and friends bicker at him and among each other. ] And if you were hired by myself or my [ other half ] business partner, report.

[ the camera angle lowers like he's done or ready to shut it off, instead he's scratching behind his ear and shifting his jaw to begrudgingly announce: ] Oh, and by the way, for those of you that knew him.. I think it's safe to finally assume that Justin Taylor has gone home. [ or wherever the fuck people who aren't dead but simply gone go, he doesn't say but his condescending and bitter fucking uncomfortable smirk implies. ]

the 'children'
and really generally everyone else of the ship
wish to say thanks but no thanks

& thanks for trying though

[ Help a girl out, Sirius. (No, this isn't encouragement.) ]

They've laws for drink?

[(ISN'T IT THOUGH)]

not here they dont
pay no mind to him

You did.

[ WHICH IS WHY WE'RE TALKING IN THE FIRST PLACE, AMIRITE? ]

because its my responsibility to pay mind to things like this! for your sake! for our sake!

in short: there arent any laws but they are trying to make some!

Reponsibility?
I did not think you knew the meaning of the word, Sirius Black.

[ A prerequisite dig, followed by a genuine question. ]

It seems a silly think to make a law about.

[Such a stinging waspish remark might make a lesser man falter, but not Sirius Black. (And anyway it's mostly true.) But more to the point, she agrees, which is... sort of unexpected.]

you agree with me?
i mean its very silly & youre very sensible
and have (i assume) had at least A drink
and of course there are far bigger things to fuss over

[ Most certainly waspish but with an imperfect sting. Alayne Stone's best attempts always seem to encourage him rather than dissuade, but if Sirius is stubborn, Alayne is equally so. ]

I've no intentions of making a habit of this,
but yes,
for the time being you and I are in agreement.
There are far greater dangers aboard this ship,
and wine in excess is as much a grown man's folly as it is a child's.

[And though agreement is a novelty, overdoing it is definitely a turn-off, so he has to be careful here...]

have you ever excessed
or is this an opinion of observation only

That is an improper question, Sirius Black.
And I shan't be answering it.

i meant only to see what drink you liked best
in case the question should ever come up
so my deepest apologies for the offence
i beg your pardons &c

My initial opinion was that gee, isn't it pretty to think so? 'Children' wasn't my preferred word choice but it's been brought up and thrown around and applied faultily. It just so happened to also be the word that would catch attention.

[ and he didn't want a law made, he meant people going into 'his' bar out of curiosity- call it a survey. ]

and a rather insulting word at that
especially to those that already make practice of visiting said establishment
which by the way will have to suffer sad business should any of this suggested law actually happen

you do realise that there are a great number of so-called underage here

So-called sad business, you mean. I'm not profiting off of it. And I wasn't searching for a law, so much as a guideline on the front door. I wouldn't have expected or pushed for it to be universal, if the debate went that way. I'm aware.
