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

When you have as many connections as I do, it's nothing. I was described as the spider at the centre of a web, detecting every quiver of every thread. This, my dear, this is but child's play.
[He leans forward, narrowing the space between himself and Irene, and taps his fingers across the top of her hand. Jim, like Sherlock, has no respect for personal space.]
I do want it. I'm awfully bored and you have provided me with front row seats to a rather promising show.

Despite his words, she knows that it isn't nothing, that he knows she will test his offer to the limit, and that it will cost him resources. A lot of resources the way she plans to go about it.]
And a promise you don't send your little pet enforcers after me again, Jim. Then you've got yourself a deal.

Look at you, thinking you have some sort of authority, some little lead in this game of ours because you have some tiny piece of incriminating information about a foreign throne. My sweet Irene, darling, let me make this clear for you...
[The already small space between the two is made even smaller when Jim leans closer. He takes in a deep breath through his nose... God, her perfume is wretched.]
You may be able to dominate in the bedroom, ooh and I know you're good at it, but in my kingdom? You have nothing.

She slides her chair back, a precise, controlled motion, and makes to rise.]
I have one thing, actually.

Go on.
