We have to stick together. The dining room is there for anyone that needs a quiet space, and I cooked dinner.

Hibiki made some coffee and dessert for all of us.

-Mordecai Benmont Jiminy and Hibiki Ganaha

[Today's selection includes potato pancakes and a light coffee cake. Hibiki has lit two more candles in the dining hall. It doesn't take long before Mordecai lights a third.]

Talkin' to fans ain't the same as talkin' to friends. Work friends sometimes count, and that's only if you spend time together long enough.

Look, I lived most of my life without powers. Even before that, I wasn't the most amazin' bartender in the solar system, and I doubt my novel will ever be picked up by a major publisher, but that doesn't mean I'm not happy. I'm doin' what I want, I have friends, I have a lovely wife, and life is peaceful. If people leave you because you ain't famous, well, they're not good friends in the first place.
