【 Thank you for choosing the Golden Peacock, 5-star resort and casino. You are currently registered as a WILDCARD in our system.
Due to a high volume of check-ins, temporary accommodations have been made in our mid-rank suites for all new arrivals. We ask current mid-rank guests to welcome any new arrivals that may temporarily be assigned to their room while we process reservations.
Exciting news! The Phoenix Casino has undergone a renovation. Guests are invited to come enjoy refreshed facilities, games, and lounges. We don't think you'll ever want to leave!
Additionally, the casino will be hosting an upper rank soiree at the end of the month. All guests rank 9 and above are invited to attend. Any +1s of low rank may only attend as a pet or personal attendant. Otherwise, low ranks are not welcome.
We aim to have all guests moved into their suites as soon as possible. We deeply apologize for any inconvenience! 】

[ Trouble? Nah, don't worry about it. He's not stupid enough to land himself in hot water first day on the job! Right as Sha-Ming takes the glass, he'll finally note the garish-looking shirt this guy's wearing, earning a teasing little snicker out of him. ]
One beer for the hot slut, comin' right up.
[ A little teasing makes the tedious grind all the more tolerable! The dude seems to like whatever it is he just served, so Sha-Ming will just fill it up from the same tap and hand it over. It looks beer enough to him, it's probably fine. Anyway, judging from the rest of this guy's getup, it seems like a fellow coworker. It's enough to pique his interest, so might as well make some effort to strike up a conversation as he cleans some glasses. ]
it takes zoro a minute to catch onto what the other said - mostly because he needs to chug down that second glass of whatever it is first like it's water. he glances down at the shirt, a small, irritated scowl creasing the bridge of his nose, and shrugs as though he could physically make the garish print disappear if he does that.
it doesn't, of course. ]
Shut up. [ it's half-hearted with only maybe fifteen percent heat behind it, which probably means zoro doesn't care enough about it at this point. ] 'S the only thing I could find out the back.
Didn't they ever tell ya that you never get a second chance to make a first impression?
[ It's hard for Sha-Ming to hold back the cocky smirk tugging away at the corner of his lips, and he figures it might be a good opportunity to engage in a bit of playful banter. Makes his shift less tiresome. If it keeps a paying customer around, that's just a bonus. ]
[ unspoken add on to that is: are you someone i should care about making a good first impression to? it is sort of a challenge, though not entirely combative one - just an easy banter while he sips at the next drink a bit more slowly. ]
Sink or swim in these parts. Never hurts to have a few you can count on to scratch yer back.
[ With that last question posed by Zoro, Sha-Ming drops his own answer emphasized with a quick wink. By now, he's already realized his little error from earlier, but it's not that big of a deal. Surely the staff won't notice a tiny bit of their finest artisan beer reserved only for the highest ranks being served to a wildcard for practically nothing, and he can use this opportunity to curry a little favor. ]
[ to be honest, zoro is starting to realise that ... he's been pretty self sufficient always and kicked out on his own for a long time, but this place was different, wasn't it? they were all at the mercy of whatever was running this place, yeah, and making them do things too.
broken out of his thoughts only with sha-ming's next remark, zoro blinks before looking down at the glass in his hand that is pointedly being spoken about. ]
[ That gets an actual chuckle out of Sha-Ming as he takes out an empty glass for himself. He could turn it into a sex thing if he were in a frisky mood. From his perspective, it would be no different than two people simply shaking hands or any other similar gesture of camaraderie. He'll pour himself a small sample of the same luxury tap, holding it up and taking a sip. ]
Consider it a little taste of the lap of luxury. Who knows how long it'll take before either of us makes it up there?
[ he does understand that it's a thing here, yes ... but also, zoro would rather not face that with only a couple of drinks in him. isn't that how it goes, at least buy him dinner first? something?
moreover, at this point they only seem interested in putting them to work anyhow. he won't worry about it until he has to actually do something about it. ]
How much better can a beer get?
[ even if this is pretty great, but hey, zoro's had worse and it didn't kill him. ]
[ Well, it's hardly surprising. Most humans would react that way. Sha-Ming doesn't seem bothered at all by the rejection, and motions to the crowds behind them with his glass in hand. ]
Take a look around ya. Some of these guests seem real content with the cozy life they've built here.
[ That last sentence is punctuated with a derisive snort, shaking his head. Was it a bit unsettling how the resort effectively had a class system built around sex? Perhaps. But Sha-Ming had bigger things to worry about, like making sure he doesn't end up as a bit worker struggling from the bottom rung. ]

I'd say as far as landings go, you nailed it.

... I thought it tasted different.
It's not some kinda weird sex thing, is it?
