[Eli can be seen behind the counter at Vanto's Diner. By the commotion going on in the background it appears to be quite busy since it seems to be the morning rush. Regardless, Eli took the time to make the quick announcements.]

I had two announcements I wanted to share in regards for Vanto's Diner. I'm looking to bring on a few more hands to help with the gathering, cooking, and cleaning. I'm also willing to teach people too if they want to learn to cook. I can repay your hard work with a meal. I'm very thankful with how things have evolved for my small buisness and really appreciate your service! I never imagined it would have gotten this big.

The other announcement is opening up a trading system! How this works is there will be a list of items to trade and what that person is looking for in exchange. If you're able to exchange the items you mark it off. I'll have a log where this will all be stored and you can come here to exchange the items or drop them off. If anyone has a better way to handle this particular system, let me know. I'm always open for ways to improve things.

I'm just covering my end of things. I'm one of those people who would fill you in. What you end up doing is going to be on you. I also wasn't sure if you wanted to try and get some kind of profit out of this since this is a little more complicated then making a meal.

We have some beer and wine already started from the Greenhouse just to see if we could. It's not extremely creative of fancy, but it does the trick.

I want a bar. The ambiance, a place people can take a break. There doesn't seem much point to profit around here.

I have a still set up and I've been looking into what'd work best so I can get that going while I fix up the place. Beer and wine- awesome.

I talked to Tommy about things- know anything about coffee? I got a...thingy for it but no beans and don't know if there's an Agriian equivalent. Otherwise that's one more for the replicator.

I understand. I wish there was a way we could gain some sort of profit.

I'll let you see what our set up looks like so you can gain an idea or two from it.

As for coffee....I picked up a large amount while at Risa and looked into what we could possible grow here. I refuse to go with out caff again. That had been rough...

I'll supply you some beans for now and we can figure out an exchange later.

Understandable under most circumstances, but at the moment I think we're kinda too small to worry about that and got plenty of other things on our plates to worry about profit. This isn't a sprawling city anymore, we're starting at square one. Trade and barter's probably the best way to go, if not just figure everyone's willing to help out in some form and pull their own weight as they can.

Sounds great. I'll drop by some time and take a gander. There any kind of things to hunt out there? If you need meat for the table, I can see what I can do.

You have some valid points. I'm just grateful that for the most part everyone is willing to do their share and help when they can.

I'll be happy if you can gather some fresh meat. I really don't know what there is that we can hunt. We have fish....but you can only eat so much of that before you get tired of it. I had picked up some meat from Risa, but most of that has been used up.

Let me know where else I can help with your buisness.

Not like there's much choice, but hey, it makes it easier for everyone that way.

I'll have a look in the woods. If there's glownies and fish around, there's gotta be something else.

If you can hook a guy up with cups and mugs and furniture, that'd be great. -I mean, I can poke around every building and maybe find some stuff but if you can narrow down where I should look, even that'd help.

Not a problem. There's a place we call space Ikea where we can scavenge around for various goods. I'll see what I can find there.

Oh, excellent. Much obliged.
