The Walked Into A Bar Meme

THE WALKED INTO A BAR MEME



"A guy walks into a bar..."

We all know how it starts, but what happens after that? That's completely up to you. This is a 'Start your own scenario' type of meme. Start along with the regular:
  • Post your character's name, canon, preferences
  • Set up a scenario

  • Pretty simple, right? That's because it is. Pick a time frame, if you'd like. Pick a specific city. Pick a specific planet. Want to hang out in The Titty Twister, go right ahead. Mos Eisley Cantina a bit more your speed? Then take a left at the second star and go straight on until morning. Slip in an underage character and sneak around trying to scam drinks. See if someone comes and tosses you out. Try to pick up the hottie at the bar -- or slip something into their drink when they're not looking. Maybe you're the bartender and you're feeling a little chatty while you pour. The possibilities are endless and they all start with someone opening a door and coming in.

    Sometimes bars were nice places to be. She could enjoy the buzz of people getting drunk around her and the general relaxing without having her team hovering. She really didn't know where she was and she didn't care overly much; a dark corner table in a bar was a dark corner table in a bar anywhere one went really.

    Rachel had her feet kicked up o the third chair around her little scrap of a table but that left the one across from her open to the curious and the strange.

    [ Well of course she expects full service from the bar as their honored guest, but the arrangement between her and this bar is to their mutual benefit. Someone like her would attract customers for them, and a chance to drink with one such as her would attract followers who like the idea of a more social god. ]

    But alcohol is alcohol, and someone once told her every species had developed some form of the gin and tonic, and so she drank away.]

    [So she's in the Titty Twister.




    She has no idea why she ended up here, why so many people are giving her strange looks (well, it could be that she still has her Varia suit on, but she never considers that), but what she does know is that there is booze.

    And right now considering that she's just. Here. She might as well partake.]

    [Alcohol is for plebs and drunkards.

    But she has often gained more information from seedy bars and nightclubs than in museums and libraries, so getting used to being in them was necessary.

    So she sipped on her water (she needed something to drink) and looked around, waiting for her informant. Or for someone to pistolwhip until they tell her what she wanted to know.]

    [He's too young to be in this club, and it shows. But he's got all the swag to cover up for it, walking with his head high and his shoulders squared, all the way up to the bar to order a drink. And he gets one.

    Is anyone going to question the short, babyfaced mutant who's currently sitting at the bar, sippping a rum and coke, about his right to be here? It's not advisable. He's got a lighter in his pocket, and he's not above starting the most explosive bar fight this city has ever seen if someone gets in his face.

    Hey, Xavier's gets stifling, okay. A guy's got to wind down.]

    [Considering his history with bars and the people that tend to dwell in them as well as his own personal code of ethics, it's perhaps a bit unseemly for someone like Piers to trudge into one. But he doesn't care. He just wants a drink. Preferably something with a certain percentage of alcohol in it.

    And maybe a steak.]

    [It's like this meme was made for him.

    Viktor's on his fourth (or fifth?) tankard of beer, growing louder and more boisterous by the minute, and is showing no signs of ever slowing down. This is his way of winding down from mercenary life. Any better ideas?

    He won't listen.]

    [Eh, drinking and crawling from one tavern to the next wasn't exactly Richter's ideal way of passing the time, but he figured a few drinks once in a while wouldn't hurt. Except he may have misjudged his limits there and sampled too much wine.

    His head, swimmy from too much alcohol, was dangerously close to slamming forward into the table in front of him; his body, swaying in place from the control slipping away from him, was about ready to topple over backwards. Any bets on which way he'd wind up?]

    [ A supervillain -- or superhero, your choice of canon point -- in full regalia has come into the bar, DE-Gun on his hip and full of swagger. Maybe he's eluded the cops, or maybe he just took down a big villain. Depends on the day and his particular alignment at the time. ]

    [ Either way, he's full of swagger. Also, he's a big-headed blue alien. Have fun with that. ]

    [ No height jokes here; he lives within the Hanged Man. Sort of like a local celebrity; the last scion of the House of Tethras, blah blah blah, he writes adventure packed tales and smutty romance novels that are larger than life and sell like hotcakes. ]

    [ Maybe he's here to kick the mud off his shoes, pull up a seat, and people watch -- or pen his latest tale. Either way, he's going to need beer. Time to get some. ]

    [ Kíli is in high spirits as they make their way to the bar. Of course, like other dwarves, he's fond of good food and good drink. That he actually gets to accompany his uncle to such a place only increases his cheer.

    Forgetting himself, he slings an arm around Thorin's shoulders. He has to practically jump to do it, considering their difference in height, but he manages. Ah, the enthusiasm of youth.

    Cheer up, uncle! Enjoy yourself, won't you?

    [ Fenris spends much of his time brooding alone, but tonight, he's decided to go do it in a public place. Mostly for the feeling that alcohol will bring. The Hanged Man is safe enough, and if it isn't, he can escape it quickly, he knows.

    So he makes his way there, and finds a back corner table. He can see most of the bar from there, and should be aware if he needs to make a quick exit. He's just glad the table was unoccupied.

    The one next to it, however, is not, as he soon sees; though, Varric is...if not quite a friend, at least an acquaintance. As the dwarf returns to his table, Fenris raises a hand in greeting.
