Two muses walk into a bar(ain) Meme

[winterbolt]

Sometimes, being a muse is a tough job. Sometimes you're working around the clock, and sometimes there are times that you go months without even being noticed. There are even days when you have to scream at the top of your lungs just to be heard, and sometimes the unthinkable happens: you go silent for good.

Either way, it's generally pretty crowded up in the brain of a Mun. Have you ever wondered what it's like up there? ..Well of course not, it's your brain for goodness sake. I never said it wasn't fun to imagine though.

But sometimes? Your muses just need a chance to unwind, take a break, or even blow off some steam...

RULES (AKA Here's how this meme works!! Along with general info and whatnot, please read!):

-This meme takes place in a bar that is a sort of limbo that intersects the headspaces of every mun who posts here! Surely that means the place will either be extremely crowded, or pretty empty.

-Choose two-three of your muses and make a thread with one of their journals, with their names posted in the subject line. It is recommended that you type up a short intro for your characters so someone tagging in knows what they're dealing with.

-Tag into threads with two-three muses of your own!

-When tagging with more than one muse, there are two ways you can do it.

--ONE: Use both journals, swapping journals after each round of tagging.
--TWO: Choose one journal to be the primary journal, and just play both characters. Change the color of the text for the other muses attached to that journal if you choose this route!

-There isn't a right or wrong way to do this, just thread in a way that works for you and your RP partner! Feel free to have just one muse at the bar as well if you'd prefer one-on-one interaction.

-Feel free to choose from the prompts below to get a thread going, or come up with your own!


1. | Who's that over there? | You came to this place to meet some new people right? ..No? Well whatever, might as well mingle anyway. This place has a lot more to do than that dear_mun joint, if anything.

2. | I think we've met before | Oh hey, is that a canon mate over yonder? Better go say hi because if you're a lone-canon warrior in your game-thing, you may never see them again. ...If you're lucky they'll recognize you too, but AUs have become a fairly common occurance in headspaces as of late, so watch out!

3. | What's cookin', good lookin'? | Whether they're a canon mate or someone you've never met before, all you know is that is a very attractive character and you wouldn't mind getting to know them a bit more. What's wrong with a little crossover every now and then? People will ship anything these days.

4. | This drink, I like it. Another! | Looks like you're starting to get a little tipsy with your headspace mates over there. No worries, one of you has to be the DD right? ...well, just make sure you don't wander back into a brain that isn't the one you came from.

5. | You talkin' to me?! | Someone's starting to cheese you off good fashion, and if something doesn't happen soon the fists are going to be flying. Or maybe you've already clocked someone in the nose? In that case, you might wanna take it outside.

6. | Hey pal. Wanna trade muns? | You're absolutely sick of your mun and you wanna give him or her a piece of your mind. Maybe your fellow headspace mates share the sentiments, or maybe you're all on your own. Either way, something's gotta change or you're going to throw in the towel.

7. | Everything is terrible and everything hurts. | Wow. You aren't looking so good over there, buddy. What has your mun done to you? I'm just going to assume terrible, terrible things, and now you're just really upset about it. Someone to talk to or a shoulder to cry on would be appreciated right about now.

8. | Wild Card! | Mix prompts or come up with something new to make up your own scenario!

-Have Fun!

Hiccup (How to Train Your Dragon) and Jimmy (Jimmy Two-Shoes)

[trainsurdragons]

[Seated at the bar side-by-side are two young boys, one of them listening quietly while the other chatters on animatedly. For being in the same headspace together, it's obvious if you listen in on their conversation that they don't really know each other all that well yet. What better place to get to know one another than in your own mun's brain, right? ....Or, well, some place close to it anyway.

The younger of the two, Jimmy, seems to be completely enraptured by Hiccup, even though he hasn't said all that much. Though just the mere mention of his partner being a dragon certainly got Jimmy's attention, and now he's sitting facing Hiccup with his sneakers propped up on one of the rungs of the stool he's sitting on, his hands gesturing as he talks.]



Sweet corn! For one thing I can't believe you live on an island with dragons! That's so cool! Miseryville has a LOT of demons, which are.....kinda like dragons I guess...except not really.

[Hiccup smiles slightly and flicks the straw in his drink with a small shrug.]

Heh... yeah, it's pretty different. Of course I haven't really seen Berk in a while. Chi's had me working non-stop at the Terminal.

[He makes a bit of a face, leaning back slightly in his seat.]

Though I can't say I mind the break she's taking right now. I needed it.

[Jimmy nods eagerly at that, rubbing his arm with a weak chuckle.]

Hah yeah....well, being in an actual game must be a blast, Hiccup! But I guess I get you. Sounds like you're pretty busy with stuff lately. It's a shame her computer had to break...She was just getting started doing stuff with me!

[numbuh_one]

[A voice can't help but chime a few seats away.]

...Dragons, huh?

[And there's Nigel, giving both boys a skeptical look.

Beside him, Isabella shakes her head and glares at her companion.]



You know, it's rude to eavesdrop on other people's conversation...

[Nigel opts to ignore her in favor of focusing all his skepticism on Hiccup.]

Well...?

Dominic (Video Game Confessions) and Chester A. Bum (Bum Reviews)

[sweartoit]

[Dominic was cleaning up the bar, as he waited on folks he came in and out. He gave a sigh as rubbed his forehead. As he walked out by the bar to see how his "partner" was doing.]

Chester, the bloody hell are you doing with the mop?


[Chester got up from the floor, as he twirled around with the mop.]

I was wondering if I could do what Mistah Mafreddie Astaire does on his time off!

[Giving a slight twitch, is this Bum even aware of the poor bloke's death?]

Chester, go back to cleaning the floor already.

[Chester saluted him, while Dominic rolled his eyes as he cleaned his cups.]

Aside from that Bum's familiarly attractive looks, I do believe he is quite worthless sort.

[this_isnt_mexico]

[A certain fashionista couldn't help but notice the commotion going on, and she watches the bum with a critical eye.]

They honestly let people like that in here...?

Minako Aino (Sailor Moon) and Loke (Fairy Tail)

[venussoldier]

[The two haven't really had a chance to talk to each other, despite sharing space in the head of Usami. But now, Minako is completely entranced by Loke's story, listening to his explanation of the Celestial World and the people that hail from there.]

Wow...! So you and your people are real spirits from the stars, huh? That is so cool!



[Loke smiles.]

That's what we are...but honestly, it pales in comparison to a real Venusian soldier...And I must say, it is an honor to share space with a figure of grace and beauty such as yourself. I'm quite lucky to have a mun with such taste...

[Minako blushes, unable to help the giddy girlish giggle.

...Someone break them up, please...]

Re: Minako Aino (Sailor Moon) and Loke (Fairy Tail)

[oath_ofoblivion]

Spirits from the stars, huh?

[Roxas found himself wondering a bit what that might be like, rather than...well...]

Rubbish.

[Scar doesn't waste time in declaring his distaste for the idea. The idea that the Great Kings of the Past resided in the stars was foolish enough. The lion sneers.

Roxas glares at Scar, before looking at the two conversing in front of him.]

Hey, you guys mind if we join you?

[Strangely enough, Scar was still better company than Saix, so Roxas didn't mind having him around all that much. At least this isn't the same villainous Scar that had hurt his friends, or Sora's. This one was a little less...murderous.]

Tracey Sketchit (Pokemon) and Wilt (Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends)

[gottasketchemall]

[There's not a lot of conversation going on between the two figures seated at a table. But they both seem to be all right with that. Somehow, there's an calm ease about the two of them, and they seem to be enjoying each other's silent company.

The two made a strange pair, to be sure. But somehow, they seemed to work well together...even as Wilt sat in the low chair, his long legs bent past the table, while Tracey was drawing in the seat across from him.]

[bewarethelook]

Whatcha drawing?

[CB leans up from the table beyond, looking curiously at what Tracey was doing.]



Yes, because what he wants is to be bothered while crafting what is undoubtedly a new human masterpiece.

[She gleefully ignores her companion.]

[dragu_slave]

[Critic barged into the bar, Lina just short behind him. She gave out a tch at his rudeness. He didn't even bother opening the door for her!]

Ya know you're one of the rudest guys I ever had the misfortune ta meet! Do you even KNOW how to be a gentleman?!



[Simply snarling at Lina as he rolled his eyes up to his head.]

I do as a matter of fact, just not around someone as stupidly idiotic as you!

[Lina reached out and grabbed his burgundy tie and pulled him down.]



DO YOU WANNA KNUCKLE SANDWICH?!

[Critic was about to hold up his fist, when there was an "AHEM" from someone in the crowd in the bar. Oh… Right there are people in here. Lina let go of Critic, while he put down his fist. Giving a slight shove to Lina, before shoved him back while they went and sat down. Critic grumbles while Lina folded her arms.]

… Do you wanna go order?

No. you go.

No you.

You first.


NO.

YOU-

WOULD YOU STOP?!


MAKE ME YOU BAG OF SHIT!

YOU'RE THE BAG OF SHIT YOU STUPID WHORE!!

[And they're back to arguing…. Someone please break these two up… or something…]

[makesgoodteam]

[SLAM.

Hey. You guys. Have a pissed off Russian in your face.]

You two. Shut. Up. Right now.

[And from behind him, a small red robot jumps up on the bar.]



Y'know, you guys are probably lucky he hasn't already rearranged the insides of your face already...

[i_believe]

[At one of the booths situated across the room from the bar sits a young boy with what looks to be an ice cream sundae on the table in front of him. Every few moments he reaches over and grabs the spoon, taking a bite himself before feeding a spoonful to a tiny joey sitting in his lap.

Between pauses of eating ice cream, the two have been talking together for quite some time. Who said this bar wasn't kid friendly?

Jamie grins as he feeds another spoonful of the ice cream to Roo, leaning back against the seat.]

I can't believe you know the Easter Bunny too!



[The little joey nods with a smile, craning his neck so he can look at Jamie upside down.]

A'course I do! He- ...he's one'a my best friends!

Is he? I didn't know he was friends with a kangaroo.

Naahh, people jus'- people jus' call him one sometimes. Jack Frost does I think. I dunno why though.

[strengthinkindness]

[Fluttershy is not quite used to big crowds, no matter how many times the mun tries to drag her out into the open. It's a lot of pressure, trying to interact with so many non-ponies, and even though she's made lots of new friends, having to meet so many new faces can be pretty strenuous for the shy pony.

The bar seemed to be an odd choice as a place to relax then, but at least she's not alone. Crane was there, not only as a guard to keep her safe (i.e., talk to people if she was too shy to talk), but also as quiet company. And of anyone, Crane didn't mind the silent moments.

It helped put her mind at ease.]

[pink_resonates]

[It's not too often she meets someone else with pink hair. Er, well, close enough to having pink hair. She's no stranger to body language though and she can tell Fluttershy seems more than a little uncomfortable.

All the same, she sidles over with a gentle smile.]

Pretty big turnout tonight, huh?



[Munchmunchmunchmunchmunchmunchpretzelsmunchmunchmunchmunch. Don't mind the blue, bushy-tailed rodent on her shoulder.]

Chris Kratt (Wild Kratts) and Rock Hikari (Megaman.EXE/AU)

[beingthecreature]

[Over at another part of the bar sat two shorties guys, one predominantly in green and the other in blue. The green one is Chris, but the blue one, for once, isn't Martin. It's Rock, and the two are talking like they're old friends.

Truth be told they are, in its own way. When Chris arrived the two hit it off surprisingly well, particularly as Chris gained... well, experience. They've bonded over the hassles of miniaturization, going berserk against people they love, always getting knocked around in the head, and general muse abuse for the sake of humor (or threads not so humorous).

If one were to lean their way, they'd discover that the boys seemed to be talking about AUs tonight, and the trials and tribulations thereof. The astute observer may also note Chris keeping track of Rock's alcohol intake. He's heard stories, shall we say, and there'll be no repeat of THAT.]

Let's just keep on rolling on that theme with option 4...

[pink_resonates]

[She pulls herself into the chair on the other side of Rock, leaning forward so that she can get a good look at Rock.]

Roooock, how much have you had?

[She glances at Chris.]

How much has he had?



[He comes scampering down the length of the bar, skidding to a stop in front of Rock. He glances from Rock, to Chris, to Rock, and then back to Chris, this time with a badly mocked hurt look.]

Hey, Bro...you replacin' me?

Leonardo (TMNT 2003) and Donatello (TMNT 2012)

[the_fearless_leader]

[Leonardo was no stranger to seeing alternate versions of his brothers. Yes, he was aware that there was a new version of him and his brothers, and other than having a shorter temper and bigger mouth, this Donnie wasn't all that different form his Donnie. It hadn't taken him long to accept him as his brother, like he had back with another continuity.

So currently, he and Donnie were sitting in the back of the bar away form the craziness and anything that Leo wasn't willing to let Donnie have. He was listening with interest as Donnie talked about his brothers, but when he got to his Leo, the blue-banded turtle raised a brow... well, if he had any.]

Wait... So let me get this straight, in your world I have some kind of obsession with an 80's cartoon? Are you serious



Well... yeah, a huge one at that. It's at the point where when we're either going into or are about to end a fight, you'd say something along along the lines of 'Lets put old mother hubbard back in her cubbort' or something cheesy like that.

...Your serious? [Donnie nods] Well, ugh... that's a new one. Does that get annoying?

In the words of my Raphael, it literally hurts to listen to you sometimes.

[Feeling sheepish now] Well, ugh... I'm sorry?

Why? It's not you... well technically anyways. Besides I've gotten used to it... well, I have now

Elizabeth (Bioshock Infinite) and Ren Hoek (Ren and Stimpy)

[lamb_astray]

So tell me more about your world...

[At the bar counter there is seated a very peculiar sight. On one stool sits a girl, most likely in her twenties, dressed in clothing far too vintage to be sold at a hipster outlet. And on the bar counter? There sits a bug-eye pooch angrily folding his arms.]

I ain't telling you crap!

[Obviously he needs some motivation. Elizabeth reaches into a tear she creates, pulling out a new bottle for the dog. Nothing better than a little leverage, right?]

You like this stuff, right? I can give you more...or you can just keep not telling me about your world. Is it true you have nickelodeons in color?

[Now you got the dog's attention. He motions with his hands. Gimme. Elizabeth shakes her head. Not till you spill the beans. He sighs.]

It's not a nickelodeon, idiot, it's called TV! And only fools sit down to watch it, fools with brains like chicken feathers! And yeah, sure, you can watch ANYTHING on it. You just turn the nobs to change the channel, something like that.

Channels? You mean you can watch more than one thing?

Hey, you said you'd give me booze! Now pay up!

[A deal's a deal. She tosses the bottle to the dog, greedily sucking it down.]

Kat (Pokemon AU-ish) and Martin (Wild Kratts)

[pink_resonates]

[A young lady sits at one of the stools towards the end of the bar looking thoughtful. She has a drink in front of her, some pink frou-frou thing that might not even have any alcohol in it, but the most unique thing about her (and that's saying something considering her bright pink hair) is her companion.

A small, blue squirrel sits on her shoulder. Every so often, he tugs gently at one of her cat-like ears and she picks a pretzel piece out of a nearby snack bowl and offers it to him. Needless to say, the pretzel is munched without much further ado, making her giggle.



If they're conversing at all, it's clearly not out loud.]

[lamb_astray]

[Young folk should never eat new foods in front of other young folk, it prompts their curiosity. Especially if said young women are from the top of the 20th century.

In her arm like an angry kewpie doll there hangs Ren Hoek, him holding a bottle of booze close (gotta get your salts up.)

But enough of you two, she's just fascinated by the pretzels...first decade of the 20th century, folks. She peers into the bowl, fascinated.]

I'm sorry but...those pretzels, they're so small and hard!

They're just pretzels, you clown!

[Shakes the dog.]

Hey, Chris' brother...can you free me, man?!

It's just that...I've never seen so many of them. They must have taken forever to bake!

THEY'RE PRETZELS!!!

Legato (OC thing) and Once-ler (Lorax/AU)

[forgivemeforhiscrimes]

[Elsewhere in the bar tonight are these two, sitting across from each other at a table. There were drinks and snacks but they hadn't been touched for a while, if only because the two of them were in an animated conversation.

It might be strange to see Legato fired up about something but perhaps Once-ler's enthusiasm was catching, because he was well in it tonight. The two were going back and forth describing what sounds like a fierce fight against weird little creatures called... Heartless? No, that can't be right... Oh well. They certainly seem to be enjoying reliving some sort of glory day.]

[humanhero]

[A few seats away a boy and an older teen are sitting together, and seem to be having just as animated of a conversation as Once-ler and Legato. Well, coming from the same universe helped give them something to talk about at the very least.

The much taller boy leans over slightly when he happens to catch the word "Heartless" from their conversation. He doesn't mean to eavesdrop, honest- but...]



.....Did...did they just say Heartless?

[Finn pauses after taking a sip of his soda, looking over at Pepper.]

I think so. Why don'tcha' ask 'em?

O-oh no I...I don't want to impose...

Hiccup (How to Train Your Dragon) and Applejack (MLP:FiM)

[dragonconqueror]

[After the week this Hiccup has had, it's kind of nice to be relaxing in a bar, even though he's still currently in the middle of something back in his home game. No Jack to worry about here, for one, and he's slumped forward in his seat with his forehead pressed against the table as his companion pats him on the back with her hoof.]



There there, sugarcube. Ah'm sure it's not that bad. Er, well, y'know she means well anywho.

[Applejack frowns slightly. She's sure their mun means well. So many of the other muses are a little touchy after certain things happened to them as refuse to come out anymore. Personally she's never had any bad experiences. Hiccup, on the other hand, gives a half laugh half sob into his arm.]

Well I guess it's not like things can get worse, right? [He pauses and sits upright before groaning and dragging his hand down his face.] Who am I kidding, of course it's going to get worse.

Oh hush up and drink your apple juice. You'll feel better.

[polarpuns]

[Suddenly, someone clears their throat from the other side of the bar where he's silently been cleaning glasses, and just... happened to overhear the conversation.

Helping bartend is a thing Polar Bear has done plenty of times before, so it's not unusual that you hear things. Sure he shouldn't pry, but...he's going to anyway.]

Is something wrong?

Marlin (Finding Nemo) and Rebecca Stoné (Demo Reel)

[tsunyclownfish]

[Marlin walked in with Rebecca in the bar, he was being taken by hand.]

Come on, you'll be fine! Don't even worry about it!

[Following her inside, he could only give a helpless sigh.]

Rebecca… I'm not much of a drinks type of guy. Or-Well last time I had a drink it was long time ago. But it could be dangerous and-


[Rebecca shook her head with that infectious smile of hers.]

It's only a little bit of a buzz, c'mon. Just a little bit won't hurt you Marly.

[Marlin made a face. Did she have to call him that? But soon enough she forced him into a seat and smiled brightly. C'mon Marlin, liven up a little! He clears his throat.]

I um… This isn't like a uh…?

Hm? Oh no. Just friends.

Just friends right, sorry.

Don't be you're a cute guy, just this if for… Relax you know… Live a little.

R-Right…

[Rebecca patted Marlin's arms as she tried to comfort him into relaxing. Shall you approach the two?]

Turbo (Wreck-It Ralph), Randy Cunningham (RC9GN), and Heloise (Jimmy Two-Shoes)

[roadblasted]

[Sitting together at the bar, each enjoying a glass of root beer, are three two teenagers and a short man of difficult to determine physical age. While the 15-year-old boy with messy purple hair, a red shirt, dark jacket, jeans and purple sneakers is human and the 13-year-old girl, short for her age with dirty blonde hair tied back in a ponytail and a long red cloak which covers her feet appears so as well, the third character's features are more unusual. His skin is light grey, with yellow teeth and eyes but red pupils. He wears a white and red racing jumpsuit, with matching helmet and shoes. The racer takes another gulp of his root beer before turning to the teenage boy.]

I dunno, Spiky, if yer really a ninja how come ya haven't kidnapped the president?



Kidnap the president? The Ninja's a hero! If the president were kidnapped it'd probably be up to me to rescue him.

[Turbo smirks.]

Yeah, but are ya a bad enough dude to save the president?

[Randy grins back confidently.]

Oh I'm not just bad enough, I'm NINJA bad enough!

[The teenage boy takes another swig of his root beer.]

Say, if you're a video game character who knows other video game characters, have you ever met Grave Puncher?

[The racer rolls his eyes.]

"Grave Puncher"? Yer freakin' kidding me, right? That can't be a real game, s'the stupidest thing I ever heard! What in pong's name would ya wanna go around punchin' graves fer?!

[Heloise finally chimes in, a bit bemused.]



Yeah, seems like a waste of perfectly good graves if you ask me. Especially when I'm always running out.

[Randy suddenly sounds disappointed.]

Aw c'mon, it's only the BRUCEST game ever! ... though come to think of it, I actually DON'T know why you have to punch the graves...

[thatdoesntwork]

Clearly SOMEone didn't read the manual. Don't you know that's where they put all the good story bits?

[Oh hey, you guys don't mind if some teenager with a British accent and wizard's robes interjects, do you? Good, because Simon isn't about to let anyone stop him from interjecting.

Who he's with might be a surprise though - they'd come in chatting fairly amicably, and Simon is mildly annoyed by that conversation being interrupted because Randy was at this table.]



To be fair, I'm surprised he reads me.

[Nomi gives Randy a short wave.]

Of course, I wouldn't have tolerated being given the same treatment as said manual for long.

Becky Shepherd (Road Rovers fan character) and Cake the Cat (Adventure Time)

[aspiringshepherd]

[There seems to be a bit of awkward silence between the two sitting next to each other at the bar. It's clear that they don't normally interact, and there's a question of how well they might get along together in normal circumstances.

Because haha one's a cat and one's a dog, funny huh?

Right now, though, there seems to be a sort of uneasy truce between them...at the very least, there's a mutual understanding of how much they dislike their mun right now.]

Mewtwo (Pokemon) and Ttark (Kratts' Creatures)

[faraway_power]

[Winning the award for oddest pair- you think you have one better? You're wrong -is these two.

Sure Ttark could've come in with Chris, and in fact he did. But he'd seen Mewtwo by himself and had decided to strike up a conversation. He recognized the Pokemon from the ol' headspace and just hadn't had enough time to get to know him yet.

Mewtwo had been surprisingly willing to talk, asking Ttark about his history and, through natural evolution of the chat, Earth's varied animals. Of all things the Pokemon seemed to be listening intently to his companion, who was sitting on a purloined stool and rocking it back and forth, describing a memorable cheetah hunt he'd seen once.]

[lambs_jiffy]

[Mewtwo wasn't the only one interested in Ttark's conversation, if Exile's twitching ears were any indication. Of course, he was trying his best not to make it too obvious he was listening, but...well it was all just so interesting.

Of course, there were some things he didn't quite understand - English not being his best language after all - and he couldn't help asking Antauri what some phrases meant from time to time.

And though Antauri didn't seem to mind answer, there were some things he didn't quite understand himself. The sciences were not really his realm of study, after all.]

Aviva (Wild Kratts) and Tulio (The Road to El Dorado)

[bratt_brothers_no]

[At the other end of the bar. Tulio and Aviva were sitting together drinking and eating food. Both of them in complete conversation in spanish. Tulio seemed to flirting with her for a little bit, she scoffed every once and a while at him. While he carelessly rolled his eyes and gestured toward her. Aviva eventually winds up taking one of his drink while he folds his arms.]


Hey hey-Usted al menos deberías darme un beso, si usted va a tomar mi bebida!

[Aviva smirked as gestured the bottle back at him as she finished taking a drink.]

No, gracias, ya se han reservado estos labios para besar a otra persona.

Yea…? Y quién es ése?

Alguien más.'

Nyaaaagh… Embromador…

[Aviva stuck her tongue out at Tulio and continues to drink his drink.]

Princess Celestia (MLP: FiM) and Django (Boktai)

[herroyalsunrise]

(Admittedly, the sight of such a regal, elegant looking horse sitting beside a casual, scruffy looking human no older than 15 must be pretty...interesting, to say the least. You'd think a pairing with such a clash of social standing would've been arranged by Mark Twain himself, but their outing is significantly less dramatic and historically iconic. The two of them seem to be enjoying each others' company rather well, as evident by the exchange of smiles to go along with their dialogue.)

There is no need for alarm, Django; you and I are both aware of Riki's impulses and how often they lead to action.

(The Solar Boy runs a hand through his hair as he takes a sip of the cider in his mug. Despite their almost casual relationship, he didn't want to be too informal around her; after all, she is a princess. A princess who governs over the very source of his power. No pressure.)



I know...but isn't it strange that he gets the urge to play us again at the same time? I don't know if anything will come of it, but it just seems...odd.



Perhaps a little, considering the theme we share and how it would bring us both from "retirement," as he considers it, but it may be nothing more than mere coincidence...though an opportunity to meet new individuals never goes unappreciated.



Mhm! That means potential new friends! A few good friends can make the best out of any situation, right, princess?



Right.

(Celestia always did enjoy Django's company. His is a spirit as bright as the sun with a personality to match...the fact that he had the personality of an MLP character certainly helped strengthen their relationship. She's heard so many people scoff at friendship or take it for granted, but finding those so willing to embrace it...it certainly was uplifting.)

[foolish_seal]

[From nearby:]



...Is that a unicorn?

Hm? You haven't met Princess Celestia yet? She's at our place, too.

I only just got here.

We'll go say hi, then.

[Minato turns to signal the bartender by putting some money on the counter.] Oy, two for the princess and her friend here. [Because the best way to say hi at a bar is to buy drinks for them. It's always how it works.]

[Meanwhile, Marika is to distracted by the majesty of the shiny magic pony to be properly social. She'll have words in a moment, don't worry.]

Tyrone (Gravity Falls) and Snap (ChalkZone)

[photocloned]

[So there's a couple of kids over at this table... er. A kid and a chalk drawing who looks vaguely like a kid. It makes sense in context, okay? Oddly, though, neither of them has a drink of any sort. No juice, no soda, not even water.]

You know, considering we both dissolve in liquid, I'm not sure a bar is the best place to-



Nonsense, bucko! Where's yer sense of adventure? Anyway, this is still headspace, what's the worst that can happen?

Ohhhhh boy.

[gotthechalk]

[One might begin to wonder why there are so many children occupying this bar. Oh well, a lot of people must be more interested in younger muses.

Either way Snap's voice immediately catches the attention of someone who was sitting at a booth.]

Snap!! ...Boy am I glad to see you, I-

[But before Rudy can fully make his way over he's stopped by an arm that's suddenly thrown around his shoulders, effectively stopping him dead in his tracks.]



Hey now, slow your roll there kid. Weren't we just starting to, heh....get to know each other? You don't even gotta play dumb with me. We share the same headspace.

[Negaduck snickers, jerking Rudy a bit closer.]

Let's just say....I can think of sooo many things you can do with them.....chalk powers of yours...

Ran (Bob & George) | BLU Heavy (Team Fortress 2)

[communistparts]

[So there's a tiny, tiny red robot and a giant, giant blue man sitting next to each other. Along the bar in their general space are many, many shots of either vodka or Cossack-brand motor oil. Or more vodka. There might be some black bread, too.

There's also a pile of dead clones of the red robot strewn across the floor. Seems like every time the giant gets a bit too jovial and slaps the robot on the back, he dies. Not to worry, a new version of him just teleports back in and takes his seat on the stool, laughing all the while.

And, oh, good luck getting into their conversation. Seems they've found a mutual language (Russian, in this case) and are crowding the aural landscape of the bar with as much of it as possible.]

Yukiko Amagi (Persona 4) and Aisha (Winx Club)

[gigglesnortpriestess]

[There's two girls sitting at the bar but the black haired girl is doing something...well odd. She turned to her friend, lifting her upper lip and asking her this:]

Are they there?




Do you really have to do that every time after getting out of that PSL? No, the fangs are not there and I swear to whatever fairy god is up there, if Lita is giggling over something involving you and that bowlcut guy, I will have words.

Twilight Sparkle (ponies/Mayfield AU) and Kreutzer (Gundemonium/game AU)

[magicalrealist]

That cloak really must mean a lot to you, if you choose to keep it on even when we're indoors.



Force of habit. Besides...a dear friend bought it for me...surely, you understand that.



I do...I really do.

(Though disheartening, having these two girls be so down is rather normal for them. Though they're working through their problems, sure, it's still a process...one the unicorn is still going through while the human has technically completed and is doing a second time...blame multiple game shenanigans.)

You've already finished your character development in game, haven't you? How rough was it?



Incredibly so. It took all of Mayfield to put me in the right direction and the Thor to cement it. My Reaper's Game counterpart is doing well enough on her own, but that's beside the point; it takes a lot to change a person and completing them is never easy. The best you can do is press onwards. I found my reason to live...then again, I didn't have to be sent home to find it, so perhaps you are more reliable on the subject than I am.



Gee...thanks.

(She drinks from her mug.)



...If it's any consolation, it appears as though my development isn't quite as finished as I hoped...or perhaps it is and Riki simply wishes to see how far it can go. Something akin to those "cash-in sequels" I've heard about.



...Is it too early to place bets on how long it'll last?



Not at all. My wager is three months; the first will be fueled by initial excitement, the second it'll begin to dwindle and the third, he'll realize how impulsive the decision was.



(A chuckle.)

You've got it all figured out, don't you?



Force of habit.

(The two girls share a chuckle at their mun's expense...something they don't get to do very often. While it is without entirely sadistic intent, it helps to know they can still poke their fun at him once in a while since he does so much more often than that.)

John-117 (Halo | game AU) and Kotomi (Clannad | original)

[one_one_se7en]

[A seven feet tall in battered MJOLNIR armor watches beside them, a cold glass mug of amber lager in hand, and his face hidden by the flare of a white light glowing behind him, darkening him but not the helmet resting over the bar. He looks at Kreutzer, then at Twilight, not the strangest thing he had ever seen in his time away from home by far.

He turns back to drink, familiar with their plight -- too long outside of home, too changed. The small girl beside him continues to watch.]

Sometimes longer.




To his side, a small girl with pigtails with a warm cup of tea on her bar watches blankly at both beings. Oddly enough, not so much wondering why is there a magical pony in the bar, but what breed or variation of the equus genus may it belong to.]

Sometimes it is not necessarily a continuation of an already concluded story for lucrative ends as there are authors that have longed to continue writing stories with their characters. [She looks at the massive Spartan beside her.] Among them that the british author J.R.R. Tolkien used based on his own experience... reverse cultural shock.

[She holds her cup, looking at it. Her mun has been wondering whenever if to app her someplace. Would she turn out like this? Returning to Hikarizawa changed by all she saw?]

Figment (orginal Journal to Imagination ride) and Hades (Disney's Hercules)

[figment_of_imagination]

((I... should really sleep, but couldn't help posting.))

[There was something incredibly dangerous about the pair that entered the bar: one delighted, small, royal purple pigment dragon; one very disgruntled god of the underworld.

Maybe it was that they were dangerous for one another, or maybe it was that everyone else had to beware because Hades was about ready to blow a gasket from dealing with the nuisance of a dragon.]


Just why do you insist on bothering me? LOOK! There are plenty of others now for you to pester. Go. SHOO!




[Figment fluttered past him, looking quizzical. He didn't appear to understand the god's annoyance.]

But I find your presence fascinating.




Fascinating? What could you possibly find fascinating?




[Figment brightened and spread his hands.]

So many things! Just think of the ideas you inspire! [Though Figment pauses to think how he's not entirely sure the "inspiration" Hades helps with does any good... but dreams, even nightmares are important to the Dreamfinder.] Gods and might, ghosts and ghouls and--oh! The stories!




[Hades just scowls and finds a seat in the bar and tries to block of the yammering of the dragon. He hides his head in his hands and hates his life just a little more.]

Kovu (Lion King 2) and BlackWarGreymon (Digimon)

[thescaronhisface]

[You'd be hard-pressed to find a pair that looks more lost than these two. One lion, and one size-adjusted dragon man, both a little less than completely enthused about where they've ended up. They hardly seem able to start conversation with each other, much less anyone around them. Every time one thinks of something to say, it dies in his throat. Both know the pain the other feels, and how much guilt he holds, and neither can bear to make the other remember all those things.]

Maybe we should just order a drink.

[BlackWarGreymon nods at Kovu's suggestion, and the two make their way to the bar.]

[everydays_great]

[Seated at the bar is a little girl who might be too young to be there...or at least, she would be in a regular bar. Whatever this place is seems to accept her just fine, and she's happy enough there, especially with her companion.

Besides, the Sandman wouldn't let anything bad happen to her. It is his job to protect children, after all.

So the two sit without worry, lost in their own little world.]
