[ well baren's kinda lucky because for the most part, his alcohol cupboard is stocked enough with the kind of fancy wine and spirits that people give as corporate gifts, the kind which would make actually really excellent gifts, except for the one fact that well.
kaiba doesn't drink. much.
he's never liked using alcohol as a solution (ha.) to his problems, but sometimes, it does take the edge off, so if baren wanders over to the alcohol stash he's not going to really object.
he does, however, glance at his screen. anything time sensitive has already gone out, and he's efficient enough that whatever that comes in later can be dealt with after this, so: ]
baren is absolutely going to reach for the most expensive thing in that cabinet and proceed to pour two glasses of it. because he thinks that they both need it. he wanders over to kaiba's desk and proceeds to hold one out to him and here it is, methodical as anything:]
Pictures of the Retrospec basement and an underwater adventure in a pocket of unreality.
Information regarding the structure of Retrospec itself.
Fun facts about unreality and un-fun facts about the aforementioned subject.
[ you know what? he's definitely going to take that drink. he's also a whisky person, so yeah, nice job probably picking that out, baren.
also, for how much baren gives him shit and all, at the very least he's good at what he does, which is why you know, kaiba still kinda. keeps him around for the most part.
(it's absolutely not because baren's willingness to not just go along with everything he says keeps him alert and thinking, nope.) ]
Structure of Retrospec itself. I was stuck in unreality for the better part of three weeks, so that's not the part I'm most unfamiliar with.
Were you with the group that was in Retrospec's basement? I know there was one in the crypts and another one in the basement of the university.
[Oh boy, here we go. Baren sits himself on the edge of Kaiba's desk as he pulls out his phone. He rattles off information as he taps away, pausing only to sip at his drink from time to time.]
Bingo.
Absinthe in the forest bunker temple. Brandywine in the basement of the university. Cognac in the tunnel subways. Daiquiri - that's mine - in the Retrospec basement. Ethanol in the crypts. Full lists of who was on which time is coming at you riiiiiight now.
[And there's the list! Complete with the location specified too.]
Finally got to take a ride in that Retrospec elevator, all the way down to the basement. Couldn't go up any higher. Week one we had a lot of the same requests, mostly turning on a terminal that let us talk to the Doc and Maury. Or sometimes just one o the other. Some teams got advisers, others didn't.

Yup.
You done with anything interesting for the day?
[Because Baren's gonna immediately wander over to wherever Kaiba keeps his alcohol because you look like you need booze, bossman.]
