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!

Ugh...

[Masaki already has his head down, holding it as he recovers from the wicked headache he received. He didn't know how long it had been nor what he did last night, but he nearly swore off drinking after waking up. Nearly anyway, hence why he was at the bar. But at least he getting something light. Too bad his head still hurts. Eventually, he just presses the glass to his head, letting the coldness calm his brain down.]

[ Roxy, you are 15. You shouldn't even be in here!

But here he is nonetheless, coming on up to the bar you're doubtlessly sprawled over. ]

It was the second time this week the bartender had gotten Nicole out of bed to come and pick up her drunk off his ass husband. She needed to figure out what to do about his drinking. Walking inside the bar, she looked around but didn't see Milo anywhere and she sighed.

[Tifa's a bar tender so she's seen a lot. Kids also grow up fast where she's from - but she's not about to start serving them alcohol just because of that. Wiping out one of the mugs she's just finished washing, she has to ask:]

Aren't you a little young to trying to buy a drink?

[The pool! He can deal with this. He's keen on sitting by the pool just looking around with one of the employees comes by and well.. Is that a fruity little drink? The kind with the umbrellas in it? Is it for-- yup, it's for him.

Eying the drink with a lack of enthusiasm for a second, he exhales, makes sure that no one is looking before he... takes a sip.

Huh. That's not bad!]

[It really wasn't unusual for Abed's friends to wander off, caught up in their own individual storylines dramas. He didn't take offense to that. Instead he just found a spot at the bar and ordered himself a drink.]

[Most times when Heine gets a call from Badou asking to come get him from some place (read: save him from some massive inconvenient fuck up), Heine would just about opt to do anything else Well. Okay, if it was between saving Badou's sorry ass and doing his taxes then Heine would pick Badou.

But Badou had sounded pretty weird on the phone, so this time Heine begrudgingly pulled on his jacket and headed to the bar.

Which bar? 'Y'know, the one with the lights and the drink and the stuff on the corner'... This was the third place with lights on a corner and Heine's patience was starting to wear thin.

Making his way to the bar, Heine gives an irritated huff before turning to the nearest person.]

Hey, have you-- [But he pauses as he actually looks at who he is speaking to and has a moment to wonder what kind of space he's stumbled into this time.]

[This was becoming a pattern for him. Another night out and he'd once again found himself at a bar, ordering their strongest liquor and attempting to get mind-numbingly drunk.]

[Sometimes Anders wondered if all of his friends were even paying attention when he told them that Justice wouldn't let him get drunk. Maker knows he's said it enough times that it really should have started sinking in by now.

So why, why, why did they insist on dragging him along to Wicked Grace night at the Hanged Man when they knew he wouldn't be able to gulp down enough alcohol to make the evening palatable? And the least they could do was not abandon him at the bar to go have some drunken orgy in Isabela's room.

Or at least, that's what he assumed they were doing.

Nursing the beginnings of a headache, Anders bent over his still full pint of whatever that Hawke had bought him despite Anders telling him not to bother. He really should be getting back to the clinic.]

[Sebastian still wasn't used to the fact that the drinking age was 21 in the US. At 19, he still had two years to go before he was legal, but there was no way he was going to stay home and avoid bars for that long. So he was trying to decide whether to walk up and order a drink, and whether he'd get IDed when he nearly ran into Rhys.]

Didja happen to see someone who looks exactly like me about oooh... five minutes ago?
