Innkeeper
Ular seems like a good guy and Rita could certainly do worse, so you decide to play matchmaker.
"I understand Rita, I mean I was supposed to become a doctor, but now I'm back here."
"Yeah, suck to be you." Rita says.
"Indeed, but my point is, you need to grab the good times when you can. I mean you think you're going to find any of the type of men you're interested in here?"
"So you're saying I should just settle?"
"No, I'm saying Ular's a nice guy who's going to probably try to do everything within his means to make you happy. Now doesn't that at least sound worthwhile?"
"Yeah I suppose it doesÂ…I haven't really been happy in a long time. Okay, tell him to meet me after work."
"Okay, and what the hell, you can get off an hour earlier." You add.
Rita walks off with a slight spring in her step. You look for Ular and see him slowly coming out of his dark corner. You tell him that she's interested and that she'll talk with him in greater length after work. He's ecstatic. He immediately orders a round of drinks for everyone along with giving you a large tip.
"Who says good deeds go unrewarded?" You say to yourself.
The remaining days until the next payment go well. Rita hits it off pretty well with Ular. She's actually happy enough to the point now where her job performance increases. Ular is so happy with her that he routinely buys rounds for the house to celebrate his good fortune.
Mr. Reynolds is satisfied with the payment he receives, and you still have a little saved over. You have high hopes that in time you'll get out of this debt. However, unexpected troubles arise in the next month.
Ular stops coming in altogether. Rita has had a great affect on him, namely she doesn't want him wasting all his money at the inn anymore; she wants him wasting it on her. This might not be too bad, except Rita also quits her job to move into Ular's home seeing as he makes enough for the pair of them.
While it's true you don't have to pay her anymore, you lose a couple of other customers that must've liked looking at her. That's not even counting the extra work that Eliza and Wendy have to do now who are now miserable to the point of wanting to seriously quit. You and your mother take up some of the slack, but it's a drain on the pair of you.
The kicker is when Calwin shows up on his monthly delivery. He says that he's decided to bump the price up on his alcohol. You furiously ask why, and he says that the last time he was here he noticed how nice the rooms were and that if you can afford to fix them up, you must be able to afford to pay him more for his product.
Your mother who is already stressed out from overwork, is so disgusted with him that she grabs your dad's Troll Gun from under the bar counter and points it at him, telling him to get the hell out before she blows his head off. He and his lackeys leave, which means you'll have no alcohol supply this month. You'll have to make due with what you have left and go back to the old expensive one.
The bigger immediate problem is Mr. Reynold's payment, which you won't have enough to give him this time around and it's going to be that time again in a few more days. Your mother can't bare to see you get hurt again and suggests forgetting all about the inn and just taking off with all the remaining money you have and going to live with your crazy aunt Enora.
