Stories[]
"Guys"[]
In a tavern on the Wall of T'si, someone who bears a resemblance to Bacchus sits holding a drink. Prince Mick and Harrison Starkey are talking about Cerebus, who is sitting at a corner table. We find out that Harrison's brother is Richard George. Prince Mick's real name is Phillip Michaels.
Mrs. Thatcher conducts an inspection of the tavern. She talks with Cerebus, who has been gone for four years. She tells them how single males can live in a tavern of their choice (except trouble makers who can only stay 2 nights in a row). Alcohol, rice cakes and vegetable soup are free. Thatcher urges Cerebus to get married and not to drink himself to death.
