Or, well, I hope I still have a gig. I did miss all of our rehearsals, but it’s not like I need them anyway. I’ve just gotta find my gilly-girly Lexie and see if I’m still part of &lt;/ins&gt;the &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;band. I’m sure she’ll love hearing all about the Spire and the Labyrinth. And, hey, if I find Lexie and, I’m sure I’ll find Nabby, and he’ll know what’s up with this whole never-ending night, whatever&lt;/ins&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

BARISTA ON DUTY: RED EYE&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
RECEIPT FILED AS: TNN-01&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;i&amp;gt;Welcome to the Gossamer Ballast. &amp;lt;/i&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Glad you guys could finally make it. Sure took you long enough. I’m sure you’re all very confused right now… having just come from Mistress’ lovely (and quite frankly boring) home, why, oh why, you’re now in one of her many tacky nightclubs. It’s a good news, bad news situation, I guess. Probably more bad news than good, anyhow. Mistress has found a way to manufacture a “never-ending night,” a club where the party never dies, and the guests never need to leave. Not that they could leave even if they wanted to, anyway.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As for why you all got sucked into the Ballast, well, that’s a bit of my meddling. That’s the good news. Getting here is hard enough as is, so I sort of made a little shortcut for you five. Meanwhile, the Actuaries—Espresso and Doppio—came along with me on our first infiltration attempt. Americano should still be back at the Lighthouse, though now that he’s a shiny, full-fledged field agent, I suppose he could be just about anywhere in the States or otherwise.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now, I’m sure you’re all curious how Mistress pulled this off, right? It’s hard enough to keep one night running smoothly, let alone one that never seems to end. While you lot were trapped in her home, she made a smash and grab and got a hold of my lovely little Mr. Nusa. She’s put the tab for this unending party all on him, and now I’d say he’s been quite overcharged. I wish I had known about the Mr. Nusa situation before sneaking into this nightclub with Espresso and Doppio because I can’t shut it down from the inside. Well, I’m sure I could shut it down. I’m just not sure how to do so without… you know… &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;&amp;lt;i&amp;gt;killing&amp;lt;/i&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; the vibe.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;/div&gt;</summary>
