Dai walks into the new BANZAI bar and looks around carefully. New fixtures and fittings everywhere but the same old reprobates linger at the bar.

They wont stay new for long he thinks.

Wandering towards the dark corner booth which was his usual spot in the old bar he catches a familiar scent that almost makes him smile...


Wombat!

Oh, good. It really WAS the wombats he smelled!

"Get you a drink, sir?"

*Dai-San looks up at the server standing over him*
