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!

No? [ curious look...

why do you hate fun green?? ]

Well, that's okay! Did I see you with some friends earlier over there?

[ what are you talking about training himself and his pokemon constantly is the most fun there is

what else could there possibly be ]

You probably did. Apparently, I'm the stick in their mud.

Really? That's not very nice of them.

I don't really care either way.

[ Another sip of his water - truth be told he does care a little, deep down, but he's not going to let that show one bit. ]

If they want to make idiots of themselves, that's their call.

I guess...

[ She's subdued, for all of three seconds. Then it's back to perky! Gotta stay optimistic. ]

Well, it worked out, anyway! Drinking alone's not very fun. You can tell me all about Kanto.

... It's only water, I'm not sure how much fun it's supposed to be.

[ But still, chatting it up with Skyla definitely beats sitting around waiting for his friends to collapse so he can drag them out. He shrugs a little, his mood somewhat lighter. ]

Alright - what did you want to know?

Well...what's Viridian like, for a start? I've only ever really been to Saffron, when I was over there. What's your Gym like?

Viridian's a pretty quiet place, most of the time. That's actually why I tend to travel - it gets sort of dull when there aren't any challengers.

The gym itself is pretty basic - I didn't really renovate it much when I took the job. It's an arena for Pokemon battles, pure and simple.

Really?

[ so boring, green. not even any cannons! ]

So you're more focused on showing your skill then, huh?

[ hey the former leader was a crime lord, that makes the gym cool enough on its own ]

That's right. I don't want any distractions, both for me or my opponent. At the end of the battle, the better trainer wins. That's all there is to it.

Wow, I had no idea Kanto battling was so serious...

... well, mine's the only gym that's exactly like that, as far as I know.

[ what's that Green takes something seriously SHOCK AND ALARM ]

Huh! That's what you'd expect from the toughest Gym in Kanto, I guess!

[ gringrin. skyla polishes off her drink - a fruity pink concoction named after herself - and sets the glass down with a satisfied ahh. ]

What about the other Gyms? We all sort of help each other out over here, when we can- as long as we're not dealing with other problems, anyway.

[ If there was a drink named after Green it would be

...

probably water SHUT UP IT'S RELIABLE ]

The Kanto leaders work together when situations call for it. Basically, if one Leader is threatened, we all step in.

That's good to hear. It's always sad when they all don't decide to become friends! I know that bond saved us all recently.

[ another drink set down in front of her, and skyla stops chinhand-ing to lean back in the booth and take another sip. ]

I can't really get too mad at N, though.

[ He glances at the drink for a brief moment, and can't help but wonder how high her tolerance is. His is probably abysmal ]

Ah, I heard about that incident. I actually wanted to come help, but Team Rocket reared up around the same time so our hands were tied. At least all's well that ends well.

[ High enough to make a night of it, low enough to still have fun. She nods, sobering up a bit: there wasn't a place in Pokeworld that didn't know about the Rockets taking over an entire city, and all the nonsense afterwards.

Team Galactic were practically hippies beside them. ]

That's right. I'm just glad we had our new Champion to take care of it, too!

[ Green couldn't help but wonder why these criminals always emerged as Team ______. Is there someone pulling the strings behind all of them at once? Could someone with that much influence even exist, let alone be stopped?

... Now isn't the time to think about that. Instead he takes his glass and raises it towards her with a little smile. Toasting with water - classy. ]

Here's to peace, then - let's enjoy it while it lasts.

Right! To peace.

[ clink! awesome. ]

[ And he downs the rest of his... water... cool... ]

How about your gym? Someone told me you shoot people out of cannons, but I figure that has to be an exaggeration.

[ :| ]

Oh no, it's not like that at all!

They shoot themselves out.

[ :D ]

...

[ Opens mouth. Closes it. Opens it again. ]

You're serious, aren't you.

I told you it was surprising that your Gym was so plain, didn't I? Besides, it's nothing on Clay's Gym.

[ And here he thought Fuschia Gym's invisible walls were strange... ]

Do I even want to know?

It goes down really far, doubling as a mine. You've got to battle on scaffolding while taking lifts all the way down into the earth.

[ a small sigh, and she sips a little more. ] I don't like it much.
