i still think a ds9 episode we were robbed of was one specifically about all the wacky characters who own businesses on the promenade bc the ones who AREN’T quark and garak are like, kaga the singing klingon chef. you know there’s like one exceedingly normal bajoran who sells used replicators and is like this is a fucking nightmare.
definitely imagining this in inexplicable mockumentary/reality show format so it can keep cutting to talking heads of other characters looking absolutely dead inside every time quark reminds everyone he’s the head of the promenade business owners’ association
