Frank was at the bar asking for some booze to drink. It was a great journey at Lunaville, he could paid the train ticket but he was looking the school side by side, and going to one corner to another. He was wasted for the great walk he had to perform to know what is going on around. It was not his day. But, he must have some energies before the classes started. He looked his camera who has around his neck. His years as journalist ended so bad. He just wanted to have adventures nor misadventures. Either way, that’s the job he asked for.
He picked the bottle and serve a shot. “Sometimes I ask myself if there is something someone who had been betrayed and left to die can fight for? I am not saying, I am the one who got backstabbed by the morons who decided to give a suicidal work in record a combat between policemen and militants. But it is so unfair people manipulate others by knowing how ignorant their are in reality. And then, the affected crawls from the battle with many injuries than victories. It is like to see one burn. I know I have a new job to take care with all the experience I had seen and done. But, it is quite unfair how life puts you in a new place? Destiny, my ass!! I am sure god have his chessboard somewhere and decides who has bad luck and who shall have a happy ending. But okay, that’s what happen when trust in those you cannot see their faces behind their masks”
And he picked the whole bottle to drink it.

Shizuo sees the old guy over the bar counter drinking a bottle of liquor it down like it was water. Shizuo only went to his office to look over some bills for like 5 minutes and the jerk starts taking what he wants? Seriously!? I turn my back for just a few minutes and some guy is gonna just take whatever the heck he wants! Not gonna happen! Shizuo thought in anger as he moves to the old guy in anger. Although his a customer Shizuo isn't the one who believes in the customer is always right story. But Shizuo didn't recognize the customer so he wasn't gonna hit him... yet.
Shizuo takes a calming breath, "Sir, your gonna pay for that right?" Shizuo says sounding very irritated but holds back his anger and frustration as best to his ability. His balled up his fists were twitching a bit as Shizuo was irritated.

Frank looked on the one who was attending the bar. He sighed as he picked his last bundle on money. And tossed at the bar.
”Take it” he drank the bottle and put the empty crystal container on the same place. He hiccups after the whole drink he did. “It is not the first time I have to give my money; I saved so much to lose it.” He looked the one who was asking him, as he shows his face as well “Where I can sell this camera? This thing helps me no more”

Shizuo shrugs unsure where the drunk old guy could get rid of his camera he goes over to collect the empty bottle of alcohol and toss it out, Shizuo got a closer look at this man and he felt a bit bad for him, Man it seems this guy has been through a lot recently. though shizuo as he tosses the bottle out. "I don't know man... maybe just donate it to the school. they could use it for the art room maybe?" Shizuo suggest to the drunken man.

Frank seems the old camera again with such nostalgia eyes but with tired eyes as well. It was good times with that thing that getting rid would be so hard. When he was a journalist. Right now, he just wanted to redo his life once again. ”Thanks for the advice, man” he said while looked on him “What’s your name, son? I never seen your face around. Well, what am I saying? I am new in this town, after all. Not many know about be” Frank just do the humor while said his things. As clean himself the best he could with a handkerchief.
”Sorry for that” he said at him like don’t want to make uncomfortable at the man behind the bar.

Shizuo relaxes seeing the drunken old guy wasn't as bad as he thought. "The names Shizuo. And welcome to town sir." Shizuo politely introduces himself as he cleans the bar table a bit seeing the man spilt a little bit of his drink on it. He can tell this man's been through heck and back so he was gonna give the guy a break for the day though if the man tries to take a drink without his ok again, he will break his arm. Just as a sign that he doesn't take anyone's attitude. Ever.
Shizuo notices him cleaning him self with a handkerchief. "Its fine... Can i get your name?" He figures he might be seeing the guy around bar for the next year.

Frank looked at the man after clean himself, as he sighed as why not dammit, he sighed again before he could express what Shizuo wanted to hear. ”My name’s Frank West. Journalist. Or well, I was one before found myself in here. I have little money but right now I need some spare” he said at Shizuo while talking about him.
”Hey! Do you know where I can have a job? I’ve already accepted one but just going to need another if this doesn’t corresponds to me. And well, I can do anything. Deliveries, filming around. Heck, I can construct a boiler by using nothing but a car engine, some lighters and refrigerator.” Frank spoke to him, as find comfortable the bartender’s company.

Shizuo will admit has hasn't heard much on the job circuit as of late, though Shizuo was interested in hearing the story behind the boiler from a car engine, lighter and refrigerator And he never heard of the said journalist, he didn't pay much attention to the news unless it was talking about the weather. Other then that he kinda doesn't listen to the news due to getting made and destroying something. "Well if I hear anything about job opportunities I let you know ok." Shizuo tells him politely. Though now that he thought about it he could need a extra hand mainly with organizing the taxes he has for the bar.
"Unless are you good at accounting?" Shizuo asking the older customer.

“Unfortunately, no. You caught me there, buddy” Frank said at Shizuo at the same time he put himself up. He doesn’t want to bother more the occupied bartender and the pub he owns. Even if there are little customers around. He picked a small card that he used to deliver the number at those who want to contact him for business reasons, but he just held it as a way of presentation. He felt quite odd carrying one of those. By far he knows, the company which he worked before, believed he died back there. And he didn’t want to waste time with some man who used be his boss
Eirher way, the man didn’t have problems to give it at Shizuo. As he picked one of those way-old cellphones off ”Well, I just leave one here. If you need help with something.” He looks the cellphone’s watch “I have small time before go at where I need to go”
He is not very good starting conversation but he tried. ”So, anything new that would be interesting to hear about?”

He thought to himself for a moment and wasn't really sure to tell the guy that he was the one who destroyed the mailbox around the corner. Frankly his just not really in the mood to talk about his most recent anger issue. "Nope nothing much has happened aside from preparing the place for the new arrival of students that might try and sneak in here." Shizuo tells Frank about that issue he got a new security camera for the back entrance where he gets his alcohol delievers and in the past he had a couple of thieves steal some alcohol from the shipments.
"But yeah there hasn't been anything interesting happening today."

Frank thought he would talk about the students topic for a little more time.
”It is quite hard deal with students these days. I had heard about some people who were too far in such practice, and more men turned a bit ... off after things happened in his life. I heard things about students going nuts and others where the place was used for terrible things” he started to speak while look at the man there. “I heard about one of those stories when I was on of my past job. Something about ‘A man in the woods’. Surely, must be one of those... hope to not see something like that here...” then he coughs as he started to go all dark on the sudden. “Apologies. Seems not many like these kind of themes to be spoken loud”

Shizuo was shocked about the story the older man told him, Students going crazy and other crazy stuff. Man what did this man see before coming to lunaville. And that 'Man in the Woods' story, that does sound messed up but interesting. Thought Shizuo as he pours the man a glass of water for that cough.
"Really? I'm fine with it, I mean its creepy but hey I'm a bartender part of my job is to listen to customers ya know... Unless it annoys me." Shizuo bluntly tells Frank how he felt about they story.
"Besides some people over look those things so your fine with telling stories like that." Shizuo informs the older guy, he felt the urge to smoke again. he starts tapping his finger.

Frank tilted his head at the right lightly, he didn’t look the bartender annoyed but curious to know about the stories he is related. Yet, he might be occupied by the moment so he could say a story or two just to give him something to talk later, but doesn’t want to exploit everything he has heard around. He might be on toruble later for his fault. But it would not be a problem by tell a story of the man in the woods.
”Well, I was on one of my journalist jobs when I caught the notice of a man who killed a child in some school. According to the man, and after testified as truth, was a professor within a small school where the children liked to go next a forest where there are bushes with flowers, they liked that spot to drink the honey. But there was a boy who didn’t like to share with others... he started a lie about a man in the woods. A sinister murderer who shall kill anyone who dares to go next the woods. The children bought the lie. While this boy goes straight downhill to drink all the honey he likes without much problem. The professor wanted to help the others to realize the lie but it didn’t work...and when the children returned back home, their parents started to believe in such lie as well. They didn’t wanted to see their sons and daughters in danger and accused the professor for irresponsibility and not believe the child who started all”
Frank stopped a bit...
”The professor was demanded and the director expelled him. He just ended in some low motel living there the best he could finding the words of the boy and the actions of the same who destroyed his life. He ended by wandering through the same woods...this time to arrive at the place where the gunshots started”
Frank sighed little after that ”I know people like to believe their children are angels who cannot harm a fly. But, when I heard and remember this case, I cannot but wonder if children these days are little factories of lies. Of course, as an adult you have to know when are they saying a truth and when are they lying. You cannot trust a troublemaker at all, but you have to. As the same when there is someone who always is there next an adult. He or she can be there to help one or oneself. It’s hard to tell. And well, we cannot say the same thing, we could be the same when be children...”

Shizuo admits what Frank told him was interesting... Shizuo himself has dealt with a trouble making kid from every now and then. But what frank told him just seems way too much, even for him. Now I can see why this guy was drinking much to begin with... just a wow... that was a story... Shizuo even felt his smoking urge decree quite a bit from that story as well...
"I... honestly don't know what to say... But can I ask... seeing your no longer a journalist what exactly do you do now?" Shizuo asking curiously but he felt like this man went to heck and back.

“Well, in my last work which I quit after some complications that I like to not tell, I was on my own and I couldn’t do much as a journalist. I had to find my own way out of the place I was, but there was nothing I can use to make my own escape. So, I had to experiment by mix items, articles, vehicles and other stuff to make new things. Mostly, like do scrap tools from scratch. Some worked, others didn’t even have their chance to shine” he mentioned while scratched his head “and well, i turned to be someone who can make anything with any item(s) i have on my grasp. Like the boiler I made using lighters, a car engine and a refrigerator.” He commented again.
”So, I am searching for any place where making things from things is acceptable” he said “and well....” he was going to comment something until he saw his watch ”Fiddlesticks! I’m so late!! Sorry buddy for everything...need to go at the place where someone is going to make me a place”
