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!

[Incognito status was noted! Anise was clambering up onto a bar stool next to him in no time at all, leaning her elbows on the counter and her chin in her hands to give him her most dazzling smile.]

Well, I was looking for the Colonel, but I'd so love to keep you company. He never buys me a drink!

[That just earned a laugh from the Emperor. After all, that sounded very typical of his friend.]

Sure, any company is better than none. I'll even buy you a drink. [Lucky for Anise, Peony was in a buying mood. Except for her it'll be a coke or orange juice or whatever Auldrant's equivalent is.]
minimaven: (Wow! This one's loaded!)

[personal profile] minimaven 2012-02-27 06:57 pm (UTC)(link)
All right! I get a date! [With the Emperor, she silently added. Lucky!

And while she couldn't have realistically expected him to buy her alcohol, she still gave him a mock pout after she took a sip.]
This is just a normal drink, isn't it?

[After a beat, his smile widened as he raised his glass up to hers should she want to give cheers anyway.]

Hah hah - no, but it's much better than alcohol. Trust me. Besides now you can brag to your friends about how your handsome Emperor once kindly bought you a drink.
minimaven: (Let's elope okay? ♪)

[personal profile] minimaven 2012-02-28 03:10 pm (UTC)(link)
When you put it that way-

[With a little giggle, she tapped her glass to his.]

Cheers!
dedicatednoless: (Oo ah ting tang walla walla bing bang!)

[personal profile] dedicatednoless 2012-02-29 09:25 am (UTC)(link)
Cheers!

[Happy with how his distraction seemed to worked, he downs nearly half his drink in not one gulp but two before setting the glass back on the bar, unfazed by the alcohol.]
minimaven: (Is that a discount?)

[personal profile] minimaven 2012-02-29 04:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[Anise took a good gulp herself, though it was nothing compared to Peony's.]

Whoa! You and the colonel drink totally differently. If only he was here, we could find out who could drink more!
dedicatednoless: (I hit the jackpot - chi-chi-chi-ching!)

[personal profile] dedicatednoless 2012-02-29 10:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[Although Peony and Jade would probably tie or lose together at a drinking contest, Peony is brimming with self-confidence and a hint of a teasing tone when he says:]

Certainly, that would be me~
minimaven: (Let's elope okay? ♪)

[personal profile] minimaven 2012-03-01 10:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[And Anise is more than happy to flatter him in her sugary sweet way!]

You'd drink him under the table! You should challenge him...And you can invite me to come along for another date, right?
dedicatednoless: (pic#1817259)

[personal profile] dedicatednoless 2012-03-02 03:08 am (UTC)(link)
A drinking challenge, huh? [Here is where he pretends to think it over for a moment...]

Sure, why not! Though Jade will probably be mad at me for awhile after today. Maybe you should ask him?
minimaven: (Don't you think I'm the cutest?)

[personal profile] minimaven 2012-03-02 04:09 pm (UTC)(link)
All right! Leave it to me! [He gets a cheery fist-pump for that.]

He'll have some real fun for once~
dedicatednoless: (Just give me the word and I'll be there.)

[personal profile] dedicatednoless 2012-03-03 01:15 am (UTC)(link)
I'll leave it to you, then. [And with that, he returns the fist-pump with a silly but equally as cheery salute.]
minimaven: (Single and looking~♥)

[personal profile] minimaven 2012-03-03 04:23 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, sir! [Second date achieved?! Anise sure thinks so.

After another sip of her juice, she calms down but still keeps up a happy grin.]
So, what brought you here all alone? Getting out of all that stuffy work?
dedicatednoless: (Default)

[personal profile] dedicatednoless 2012-03-03 06:33 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, you've caught me. [He says playfully, salute becoming both hands in the air for a short moment so as not to draw any more attention than needed.]

Just consider this a small break before tomorrow.
minimaven: (Don't you think I'm the cutest?)

[personal profile] minimaven 2012-03-03 04:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[Her reply is a light giggle, and then she brings her index finger to her lips.]

Don't worry~ Your secret's safe with me!

I'm counting on you.
