It's strange what you can pick up by just being in the right place at the right time. Of course I am always in the right place to hear things. That's because it's my place. The best drinking hole in town, if I do say so myself; which I do. I could even point you in the direction of a few people who would be inclined to agree with me.
Welcome to the Dirty habit, I think you will find most things here to help take the edge off the working week. If we haven't got it then I guess you will have to try the Route to Everywhere just up the road, I own that one too but not many people know it I like to stay a silent partner. I have my reasons and I am not going to get into that with you right now, just bear it in mind that I am not a man you want to cross.
I can tell you don't like the name of my place. Well it was a joke with some friends back in old Blighty. Yes I come from England, moved here about twenty years ago after my parents passed. Wasn't much to keep me there so I thought I would pay old 'Uncle' Michael a visit. When he died two years later he left me this bar, and a fair amount of cash which I promptly invested in a few places one of them being the Route to Everywhere.
I changed the name here as soon as I took it over. I knew it would piss a few of the locals off but I wanted people to see that we were under new management. I remembered the old joke with my friends and so here we have it the Dirty Habit. The local church doesn't like it. They keep trying to get me to take down the sign outside. I mean do you find it offensive? Just a monk in a dirty robe holding a drink, nothing to get upset about. After all monks are responsible for brewing some of the most potent stuff.
Mind you I think the problem with the church runs deeper. They don't like the idea that I get more people through my doors than they do.
You see at some point or other most people in this town pass through my doors. Some of them are regulars having a quick drink and a chat with friends after work. Other spend a little bit more time here, they could be classed as part of the furniture. And then you have the brief encounters, these are the ones who don't really know why or how they got here. They turn up with a bemused look on their faces and before they know it they are telling me things they really wouldn't like others to know.
Now I'm not going to sit here and tell you what they tell me. If you want a gossip go talk to old Jacob Penn he will gladly sit down and offer you a soda. I keep the things they say in here away from prying eyes.
I have been known to help people now and again, I like helping people because I'm a nice guy. You see that's what I see my role as. I am a listener when I am needed and a helper when help is required.
And I guess that's where you come in isn't it? You need a little assistance with something and some kind soul has pointed you in the direction of me. Well I will do what I can for you my friend I wouldn't have it told that Richard Blackwell turned away a patron in need.
So now that we got the pleasantries over with, what can we do for you buddy?
Or more importantly what are you going to do for me?

What's Richard Blackwell's nickname, or is it just Richard?
I bet he gets pissed if people call him Dick, huh.

Good start.
I eagerly await a St. Eubrie post by KindaNews, he who tells others how to
write, phrase, and what words to use. C'mon, Kinda, do a Eubrie post.

I think Smitty and you may be friends. I also think that he visits Dirty Habits semi-regularly and I also think that you may have some suggestions for him considering you are one not to be "crossed."
