Evening, Morning etc everybody.
Ah, Athena eternal I swear this place would go to rack and ruin sans your prescence. Is that rabbit bubbling away in the pot? Fantastic, got some good red Venusian plonk from a nice little place we shelled just south of Maxwell Montes, goes a treat with rabbit. Should be still in the cellar, unless something happened to it whilst I was away...
Okay, which door leads to the wine cellar now?

It's that one over there. Or is it over there? I forget myself at times. There's a dumbwaiter down to the cellar over in the corner in any case, and rumour has it we once put a bunch of bankers and estate agents down it to act as cellar slaves minders. So all you need to do is go over to the voice pipe over there and call for it. Unless the bankers have drunk it.

I say, do be careful down there. I do believe I left one of my zombies in the cellar with the bankers.

Oh, I like this place. I usually sit out in my garden at night with a good fire, a good cigar, a good glass of spirits (vodka or absinthe), and my trusty weim, ghost, but I can see myself spending quality time here when the weather is bad at least.
Now of course, you wouldn't throw me in the cellar if I told you that I dabble in banking. Not an occupation of choice, but it does pay the Bills and Joes and Freds, etc. It also pays for the good spirits and cigars. *offers cigars around the room*
Nothing like a decent bribe to win over new friends.

Third shelf down second on the right. All the other bottles were trying to edge away from it. Labels says it's something of a robust red, also says Danger!Flammable! s'pose that's what you get for tasting notes these days. Oh and help help get me out of here, if it's not too much trouble. |

Hold on I'll just get a good hold of the rope. When I pull you try shinnying up the chute. Ready? One, two, three... heave! One, two, three... heave!

Yes, a Medic. Good. I think I'm getting the damn pig flu. A large brandy please, whilst I wait for stronger medication.
Please excuse the face mask.
