Two muses walk into a bar(ain) Meme

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!

[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!

[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.

[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...?

[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...]

[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.]

[Both Hiccup and Jimmy glance over when Nigel speaks up. They'd been so absorbed in their own conversation that they didn't even notice them sit down.]

Uuhhh....yeah, dragons.

[Jimmy nods with a wide grin, pivoting in his seat to face Nigel and Isabella.]

Don't they sound awesmazing? Makes me wish I'd talked to Hiccup before!

[Heck yeah it does. Because DRAGONS.

But this is Nigel, who does have an image to keep. So instead he just kind of shrugs.]

Sure does...if it was true.

[Isabella rolls her eyes.]

Just because you don't like anyone over the age of 12, doesn't mean they're all liars...

[Nigel ~~sulks~~ glares a little, and Isabelle throws an apologetic smile towards Hiccup.]

You'll have to forgive him...He gets a bit paranoid.

[Nigel mumbles a little under his breath, taking a swig of his root beer.]

[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…]

[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.

[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.]

[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.]

[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

Edited 2013-06-22 05:44 (UTC)

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.]

Edited 2013-06-22 05:42 (UTC)

[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.]

[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.]

[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.

[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!!!

[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?]

[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...

[He chuckles and scrambles down Kat's arm to the bar, skittering across it over to Ren.]

Whatcha need freeing from, dude?

[Certainly it can't be this friendly looking young lady.]

[Kat looks to the young lady as well, her expression a tad perplexed.]

...You've never seen mini pretzels before?

[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.]

[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.]

[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.]

Edited 2013-06-22 06:20 (UTC)

[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.]

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.
