The Punisher walks into a bar, grave dirt still under his nails. Washing them will never make them clean.
Strongest you got, he tells the bartender.
A band plays, the singer a woman in a long green dress that has a faded gold pattern on it. The musicians are in worn out suits, not quite in their Sunday best, but something close.
The Punisher looks at each in turn, only lingering long enough to see if any are the threat he knows they can be.
One, the saxophonist, could be, but the Punisher doesn't care at the moment.
Let him rest.
Nicholas sipped at the cheap whiskey he'd asked for. He didn't care how bad it tasted, only that it would do its job. The first couple of glasses he'd thrown back without tasting it, heedless of the fact that one of the shit weasel's idiots was here. He just didn't care.
He finished his glass when the saxophonist sat down beside him.
"Hello Chapel," said the saxophonist.
"Midvalley," Nicholas sneered. "What brings you here? Checking on me for the shit weasel?"
Midvalley sighed. "You know Legato doesn't appreciate that, Chapel."
Nicholas snorted his thoughts on the matter and poured himself another glass. He was going to drink the entire bottle of shit whiskey if it took out his liver.
"They're going to kill us," Nicholas said, once he'd finished the glass. "Once the guy in charge gets what he wants. You know that, right?"
"We're dead men either way, Chapel." Midvalley stole the bottle and the glass, poured himself a finger and threw it back.
Nicholas let him.
Midvalley understood, after all.

Kind of hilarious to me how poorly the title "Mob Psycho 100" localized to English-speaking areas. To someone whose first language is English, it scans as:
Mob (Yakuza, Mafia)
Psycho (violent person with "crazy" behaviors)
Thus: a particularly violent member of organized crime.
But in Japanese it scans as:
Mob (background characters in crowd scenes in manga or anime)
Psycho (short for psychic)
Thus: a psychic who looks/acts like someone you'd never pick out of a crowd scene in a comic.

VERY IMPORTANT a dam in the Netherlands, the weerdsluis lock, is directly on a migratory path for spawning fish. They have a worker stationed there to open the door for the fish, but they can take a while to open it. So to keep the fish from getting preyed on by birds they installed a doorbell. Only, the fish don't have hands to ring the doorbell. If you go to their website, they have a LIVE CAMERA AND A DOORBELL that YOU RING FOR THE FISH when they're waiting, and then the dam worker opens the door for them! I can't express how obsessed I am with this. look at this shit. oh my god.
Please check on the fish doorbell once in a while :)

If Pikachu were real, it would not be a very pleasant animal. An enormous mouse that shocks you like an electric eel. I would run from these beasts
