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!

[There's nothing like getting a summons that simply states "Come pick up your dwarf" to put Vel'ai Mahariel in a bad mood. She's beginning to think Oghren is more trouble than he's worth to keep around. His ale bills alone have been a huge strain on her purse strings.]

[Of course when she actually gets to the bar there's nothing to be seen of the obnoxious dwarf.]

Typical.

[Disgruntled she settles onto a barstool to order a drink. Considering the amount of money she has to pay the tender as it is, she might as well enjoy a drink or two herself first. With the ale in front of her, she stares down at it for a moment, her lips pressed into a thin line.]

No one told me dwarves were worse than the shem.

[Then with a tired sigh, she picks up the mug and drains half of it down rather quickly before slamming it back onto the counter. Isn't she a pleasant person to sit by?]

[Frodo finally managed to secure an ale, and he's both guarding it and nursing it slowly, because he doesn't think he will be able to get another next time. He nearly loses half of it in surprise, and saves his mug from tipping over, but only barely. He frowns a little]

Dwarves can be a little rough on the edges, but they're not bad folk.

[Eyes narrowing, she glances at him only long enough to ascertain that he's not human before turning back to her ale. She takes a sip this time, no longer eager to drink it down quite so fast.]

He's rude, crude, and the smell! He smells like a brewery and that's on one of his good days.

[Her poor elven nose does not appreciate the stench of booze and dwarf. Worse still when it's booze, dwarf, blood, and other unmentionable items.]

[this is awkward, to say the least. There's been a sort of friction between elves and dwarves, Frodo's seen it before but...]

Maybe baths weren't quite on his mind at the time. Or the time after that.

[too busy for a good soak, that's almost as bad as being too busy for second breakfast.]

Or the time after that? I get it.

[She picks up her ale again, grumbling as she does.]

Been that way for as long as I've known him. Surprised he's not tainted by now.

[Vel'ai takes a swallow and then puts the glass down with none of the slamming from the first time.]

The damn dog smells better than he does.

[Frodo is watching her and not doing much to hide it out of the corner of his eye, a hobbit fascinated by something so strange that he cannot help but stare. He has never seen an elf take to ale quite like she has. Or speak as rough as she does]

There must be more to him than smell. How long have you known him?

4 - Lord of the Rings, Dragon Age... close enough right?

SURE!

Owch. Verb tenses everywhere. This is why I shouldn't tag when I'm that tired.
