“Welcome to the Puppunk bar. I’ve got it reopened after the war. Aren’t you feeling gratitude? Oh, you don’t know me? I’m the new owner. Since Japan had to liberate the former American empire from Russia, they reassigned the property belonging to the collaborators. I’m Runa. I’m Japanese-American. You might remember me. I came here occasionally when it used to be owned by the tech bro. You used to like to hit on me.

“Oh, don’t go. I wouldn’t want to deprive you of a third-place. I know how much you loved this bar. That’s why I’m letting you stay. You just have to change your behavior. You’ve got to be more respectful of the women who frequent this place. I’m sure there will be more female customers now that I’m making it a place where people behave themselves decently.

“You’d love that, wouldn’t you? You wanted to get close to the women here. Oh, you’ll be getting real close. 

“In fact, I think many more women will start coming here when they find out about the new services we’re going to be offering for women. They will be able to take advantage of personal massage service, receive oral massages, foot cleanings, shoe shines and boot polishings. The wait staff will all be handsome wearing skimpy clothing that shoes off their six packs. They’ll be wearing shock collars to make sure they don’t violate anyone’s boundaries. I don’t think that would happen, anyway, because we would only pick gentlemen.

“No, that wouldn’t be you. Don’t be silly. You aren’t good looking enough to be a waiter. You’d either be working in the bathroom or under the table as a boot polisher. Let’s see if you’re qualified for boot polishing. Come. Get on your hands and knees. Crawl to me. 

“Be more enthusiastic! If you don’t do a good job, you’ll have to get used to... That’s right. You don’t want to hear it. Oh, such enthusiasm! You really want to lick every customer’s boots!”
