Portal closure preplay

"Right," Mona said. "So we're mixing mezcal, bloodwine, ketchup, chocolate milk, and pickle juice. In mason jars."

She did not envy the people volunteering to drink this cocktail. She'd seen a lot of crazy stuff in her years as a bartender -- she'd done a lot of it herself, even -- but this was perhaps the weirdest.

"Good luck to all of you."

Quark, never one to give up on a sale -- especially when his current attraction had just been ruthlessly shut down -- pulled out a large bottle of aged scotch.

"One bottle of whiskey, and I can replicate you a beautiful new pair of gloves! Just . . . $500!"

"500... are you insane?!"

Seivarden gave Quark a look of disbelief. She could get nice, affordable gloves from Sparkle and whiskey from... somewhere. There had to be somewhere else.

"Just a savvy business man. Not my fault you can't see a fine bottle of whiskey when you see one. This is fifty years old! Finely aged. Guaranteed to wipe out all those nasty, pickley flavors. . . ."

"Why would I want good whiskey after that?" Seivarden asked, looking at Quark as if he was stupid.

"Why would you want bad?" Quark asked, giving her the same look in return.

"Why would I want to waste money?" Seivarden snapped back.

"Paying for fine goods isn't a waste of money!" Quark said, looking personally offended. "It's what money's for!"

Or for hoarding in preparation for the afterlife, but it wasn't like Seivarden was a Ferengi or anything. She might as well use her money.

"I'm just being selective about how I spend my money," Seivarden replied, making a face at the horrible taste in her mouth.

"Well you're not getting any free whiskey from me, honey! You can forget about that!"
