Blame it on the Goose Got you feeling loose... Blame it on the alcohol

The Walk Into A Bar Meme!

The bar's a comfortable place, where everyone knows you just have to walk up, give the bartender a smile, and order up a drink. Everyone goes to a bar sometime, whether to pick up a companion for the night, to pick up a friend, or pick up a drink. You never know the story behind the guy sitting next to you, or the bartender. But that's what bars are for, aren't they? To learn about the guy on the stool next to you, drinking his gin and tonic.

So what do you do in a Walk Into A Bar meme?

1. Comment here with your character and their canon in the subject line.
2. Hit RNG for a number between 1-15.
3. Tag someone else using that number as your character's reason for coming to the bar.
4. Profit!

So, what's your poison?

1. Sex on the Beach - You're here at the bar for one reason and one reason only, to find some company for the night. It might help, to buy them a drink first. But then they might throw that back in your face...

2. Tonic and Gin - Life's been one disaster after another lately, and the only thing that makes it easier is the sweet numbing taste of alcohol...

3. Midori Sour - Your friends dragged you out here and they've suddenly abandoned you for some rock star in the VIP lounge. Are you bitter? Maybe. Or maybe you'll just use the opportunity to flirt with the cute bartender...

4. Shirley Temple - You got a call five minutes ago asking you to come to the bar to pick up your too-intoxicated friend/brother/sister. But now that you're here, they don't seem to be anywhere to be found...

5. Poolside Pleasure - There's nothing like being on vacation in a tropical paradise, is there? And what better way to soak in that tropical vibe than to swim up to the Tiki Bar for a relaxing fruity drink with a paper umbrella?

6. Moonshine - Maybe you're underaged. Or maybe the bar isn't exactly what you'd call legal. Whatever the reason, you're not supposed to be here, but you are, and while you're here, might as well get something to wet your whistle, right? Just be careful not to get caught...

7. Hair of the Dog - Last night was... do you even remember last night? Probably not, given the wicked hangover pounding in your head right now. Well, nothing cure a hangover like having a drink in the morning to take the edge off, right?

8. Champagne - Something great has happened! Did you get a promotion? Kill your nemesis? Whatever it is, you feel great and it's time everyone celebrated with you. A round of champagne on the house!

9. Shaken, not Stirred - To everyone else, this is a regular bar, but not to you. You know you're here to meet a clandestine contact, an enemy informer or a secret spy. Better play it cool and keep your eyes open...

10. Sunken Pirate Ship - You've been out on the high seas for months, and finally made it into port with your pockets full of gold. What're you going to do first? Drink that gold away or buy some company for the evening? You can do both at the bar...

11. Punch in the Rain - You're the bouncer of this bar and you think the guy sitting next to you has probably had too much to drink. Maybe it's time to cut them off. Hopefully they'll go easy, huh?

12. Bartender - Everyone who walks through the door has a story to tell, and you're the guy they love to tell those stories to. Are you the type to listen, or the type to slip a little something extra into their drink in hopes that they shut up about their sob story?

13. Absinthe - Whatever it is you just drank didn't seem to agree with you. And at the corner of your eye you keep seeing this bright green faerie... Is everything happening around you reality, or have you slipped into some kind of hallucination?

14. 357 Magnum - Did you just insult my mother? Whether or not they did, you sure think so, and you know what's the best way to settle things in a bar? With a bar brawl, of course!

15. Happy Hour - Anything goes! Got another scenario you want to play out, this is the place for it!

[Of course she's somewhere she isn't supposed to be, Anita's pretty much always where she isn't supposed to be. Sometimes that place just so happens to be a bar, which is always funny since she doesn't actually drink.]

[Her orange juice looks like a really convincing screwdriver though at least...right?]

[Thomas drags himself into the bar why is it called the Snuggly Duckling and plops into a seat heedless of who is sitting next to him.]

Bloody Mary. And make it a strong one.

[Sebastian Moran approached the table where the woman was sent. He said nothing for a moment, letting her know he was there.

Then, a few steps forward, bending down behind her chair to speak in her ear.

Calm. Simple.]

Well, if this isn't deja vu, I don't know what is...

[Granted, the part where she's nursing a tall boy is new, but otherwise, this is pretty much her entire role in canon. Show up for a few minutes, then get left behind while everyone else has all the excitement. Approach? y/n]

[takeonme]

[WELL 8'S FITTING LET'S JUST SAY THIS IS A CELEBRATION OF THE FACT KILLBANE FUCKED OFF AND EVERYTHING IS COOL. Or at close enough. What? No, shut up.

This Boss isn't as into champagne but whatever, alcohol is alcohol and this is worth pulling out to celebration. So hey, check out this boss lady waving champagne at you.]

Had a drink yet?

[Putting down the towel he had been using to finish drying off a glass, Grimsley notes a rather familiar face sitting at the bar counter as he turns around.]

Well now, this is a little surprise. What brings you here, and what will you be having, hm?

[Have a pleasant little grin, Skyla. And someone who is more than willing to take the time to hear what ever little stories you might have to tell today.]

Oh ho? What's this, now?

[Johnny sidled up beside her, putting his back against the counter as he looked out over the rest of the bar.]

A beautiful woman drinking by herself? Such a thing must be remedied immediately.

[Irene slides into a seat at the bar with a poised smile. She sweeps her eyes over the patrons next to her and in a cultured British accent orders from the bartender.]

Gin and tonic.

[aviophobia]

[So here's this extremely hung-over-looking, possibly still drunk, guy, and he's taking the seat next to FDR like it belongs to him.]

Bourbon. Neat.

[He looks at FDR a bit blearily.]

When did you have time to change?

[mycroft_holmes]

[Mycroft didn't normally frequent pubs, but he was making an exception today. He ordered his drink and then looked around. That's when he noticed a rather - living - Irene Adler. In many ways, she was the last person he wanted to see. Her being alive meant only one thing: Sherlock had helped her. And that only served to remind Mycroft of what he had done and the disastrous effects that happened because of his actions.]

Miss Adler.

6 because. Anise.

[minimaven]

[There are a ton of good reasons to be in a bar! Chatting with the Colonel, hoping he's drunk enough to buy her some tokens at the casino...Okay, maybe that was a long shot, but a girl could dream.

And maybe this girl is dreaming, because rather than the Colonel, she's found the Emperor.

Score!

She'll just pop over next to him with a bright smile.]

Oh, Your Majesty! [She keeps it quiet, juuust in case he's trying to be in cognito. And, of course, she's practically dripping sugar.] It's so nice to run into you here.

Merde. [ Enter the disgruntled Frenchman, looking frantically back and forth as he nearly stumbles over a chair. After a few minutes of desperate searching, he ends up letting out a frustrated growl before sulking over the bar. ]

Putain. Shit. This is unbelievable. [ A sigh, and he motions to the bartender. ] Wine, the most expensive you have. [ A scoff. ] It will still be subpar. [ His eyes flit to the left to meet with an empty seat, and his shoulders slump a bit. Who was he going to complain to if no one was there? His head falls back and lolls to his right, eyes closed as he groans again. ]

Ma Monaco, pourquoi! Pour l'amour de dieu, why do you do this! [ He shakes his head, then allows his eyes to fall on the man sitting adjacent to him. France straightens up instantly, a little disgruntled by his behaviour in front of a stranger. ] Aah... je regrette, monsieur, j'ai perdu ma soeur. Err, I am sorry again, I am not certain if you speak French. I am looking for my sister: she is small, très petite, blonde like me, and I believe she is wearing a pink dress tonight. Oh! And she has many bows in her hair, which is very long. Have you by chance seen here in here?

[Is sitting at the bar when he notices Tony. Hell, it's hard not to notice Tony. And Jack's had just enough to drink that he might notice Tony a little too overtly, with a rather flirtatious smirk.]

1 - except more like trolling than actual hitting on?

[womanwhobeatyou]

[Irene is sitting in the back of the bar when she sees Sherlock walk in. And her evening is open enough that a little fun with the detective in the funny hat seems like just the thing. So she texts him, hoping her custom ringtone has not been changed.]

I never expected to see you take up drinking as a vice, Mr. Holmes.
