They're just working out the best way to do that.

Choice Text and Results
Buy a round
You buy a round for the hipsters. On the bright side, they're all "ironically" drinking Metros light, so it only comes up to 50 credits.
Talk Emerald Gift
You try to talk Emerald Gift, but these guys are obviously serious fans. You can't fake them out for long.
The conversation instead drifts to their plans for Halloween. They seem pretty torn about sucking up to Emily Davers, who one of the drunker students opines is "smoking hot," or trying to smuggle Eclipse in so they can "properly enjoy the show."
Apparently Emerald Gift just isn't Emerald Gift without Eclipse.
or, with Emerald Gift active?
You have a sort of interesting conversation about Emerald Gift with the hipsters. You can barely hold your own actively listening to the music and looking at the track list on your comm like a cheat sheet. These guys love their Emerald Gift.
They seem to accept you're also a fan of "real music," though. Hopefully that doesn't mean you have to start wearing their glasses.
Argue for helping build
They hem and haw about your plan and the alternatives. Wow, for a bunch of guys excited to see this band, they sure don't seem interesting in doing anything about it.
Then again, you are trying to recruit people from a college bar.
After talking to them earlier with With Emerald Gift active
They talk over your plan, which they refer to as "sucking up to Emily to get tickets," but most of them eventually discard it. One of the younger students says "well, more chances for me, then," and heads to the dorms.
He left a bottle of warm Metros Light on the table, which you suppose you could grind into glass powder… or maybe drink if you had to.
You found: Metros Light
Argue for smuggling Eclipse
They hem and haw about your plan and the alternatives. Wow, for a bunch of guys excited to see this band, they sure don't seem interesting in doing anything about it.
Then again, you are trying to recruit people from a college bar.
After talking to them earlier with With Emerald Gift active
They talk over your plan. Most of them decide to stay back and mope, but one seems motivated enough to help smuggling.
"Alright, I'll plant enough Eclipse for all you poseurs, then," they frown at being called "poseurs" but don't actually get up to do anything about it. Well, at least you got one.

Hand out pamphlets
They look over the pamphlets and murmur in general approval. One says "hey, free booze and we don't even have to leave?"
Another chimes in, "well, it's a good backup plan if we don't get tickets."
They split the pamphlets among themselves.
Flip the table (evil action)
You flip the table, sending bottles of Metros Light flying in every direction. One hipster falls to the ground with a "oh god, my leg!" and most of the rest scatter.
You've got three of them pretty well cornered, though.(Fight 3 Hipsters)
