Its late at night and you're drunk. You wander into a seedy part of town, stumbling, blurry eyed and wasted. You lean against the side of a brick building for support. When the sky starts to roar and lights up, flashing like the neon lights above you in the Red District. You notice a black door a few feet ahead with an awning above, and some yellow neon lights. "Dive Bar," you chuckle to yourself, they don't even try to deny that they're a shithole.
Still stumbling you make your way to the door, but before you can open it it swings open. Next thing you know your face first on the ground with something kicking your side, you grumble and roll over, and hear a gasp. "Okay, it looks like they're okay." The female voice says above you. "Get the fuck up, you're in the way," a slightly more gruff voice grunts. Someone big and strong grabs you by the shoulders and lifts you up, half carrying half dragging you along the floor. Trying to catch your feet you trip into a booth, a man laughs.

As you begin to catch your bearings you look around. Its a dark, smokey, room. Pool tables surrounded by empty bottles and full ashtrays. A beat up bar with tall stools, leather and wood and worn out by use and time. A mix and match set of tables and chairs litter the room, as if thrown around by a child. Some standing, some not.

A grizzly faced bartender looms over the bar, giving you a cold look. He must have been the one who carried me, you thought, looking at his burly arms and barrel chest. You look away, slightly afraid to meet his piercing gaze.

You don't see the female that you thought you heard anywhere, and you can't imagine the bartender with such a girly voice.

Moments later you hear another clap of thunder, at which point you hear the bar roar back into life. All the people you seemed to have glanced over in your confusion, tearing into the silence of your thoughts, drowning everything out with their drunken murmur. Some big and scary, some small and demure, all red-faced and grinning, a few seem to be waving you over.
You shrug your shoulders and decide to join them, quietly hoping you can stand...

///you don't have to go off this intro, its just to give you a feel for the bar, kay?

Personality: Charle likes to get drunk with the bar regulars after performances, always looking to make a raunchy joke and add some sassy snark to pretty much any conversation. Known in the area for being loud and hilarious. Doesn't take himself very seriously, enjoys his line of work. Doesn't like to fight, but will speak up for himself.

Leigh hops up to the bar, sitting on the stool right in front of manly, on her favorite corner of the bar (the right corner). She pulls out a sheet of paper from her pocket and shows it to him. "Do you mind if I add this one to my collection on the bar?" She grins mischievously as she's already started to peel the protecting backing off the sticker... Manly grunts at her, never a man for many words. He does give the sticker a quick glance, just to make sure its not something too terrible. And it isn't. Its just a My Little Pony sticker. He rolls his eyes slightly at her, her dumb grind spreading wider across her face as she sees his reaction.

"So, what's the specials today, Manly?"

Manly pulled up a board that he hadn't hung up yet. "Well, depends on what you want really? Do you want something light? or something that will leave you with a hangover to next Tuesday?" He scribbled something on the board. 'Lovers Heartbreak' is what he scrawled on to the board and drew a pathetic attempt at a broken heart. "That's today's special. It'll leave ya feeling rough tomorrow." He smirked slightly at his analogy of his drink, hoping Leigh would take the bait.

She snorted, "I'm not starting drinking yet. Tequila on an empty stomach sounds like a disaster. Gimme some fried fish." She paused, "and waffle fries. Bitches love waffle fries."

Manly writes something on a ticket and then clips it to the window between the bar and the kitchen. Soon enough the kitchen staff get a hold of it and the smell of frying fish and the sound of sizzling starts to permeate the air.

Leigh lit up a cigarette while she was waiting, leaning on the bar as she was looking around, "Seen anyone new lately?"

Manly picked up a ash tray and pushed it towards Leigh. "Nah... Just the usual here, I wish there was somthing new. Ya know, to spice it up a little. He took a wide yawn and heard the bell ring. Leighs food was ready. He grabbed the plate and placed it in front of her. "Bon apatite." He grabbed a glass and poured him self a drink. He didn't care what people thought. It was a bar and there was alcohol that needed to be drunk. Why not help out? He thought. "So you seeing anyone since you were last here?"

Grumman_Goose: "Oh, you know, the string of men I've been sleeping with...and by that I mean not really." She shrugs her shoulders, trying to avoid the conversation and quickly move to something else. She looks away and plays with the food on her plate for a moment before dousing it in BBQ sauce.

"Oh, look, you have a customer Manly." Manly grunts at her and then turns to the lady who just strolled in.

"Sweet or unsweetened, ma'am?" He smiles warmly at her, "You've got to speak up in here though, not everyone can hear a pin drop."

'sorry.' hummy said appologeticly.
a little louder hummy replies.
'sweetened with some lemons on the side, please.'
'oh, and some sweet potato fries to nosh on if you have them.'
hummy looked around the smokkie bar.
*coughcough*
it seems like a really nice place to forget about her awful day.
why her car, tealie, decided to break down today of all days was beyond her.
her roommate is not going to be pleased to have to drive her everywhere and she was not looking forward to that conversation.
'damn, i wish i would win the lottery!' hummy said a little out loud, but mostly to herself.
that sure would fix almost all of her problems.

Manly laughed heartily, "Don't apologize! Relax. This is a bar."
He wrote her order on a ticket, sent it to the kitchen, and poured an iced tea right from the tap. "Its not fresh brewed or anything, but it should taste good enough." He also placed a plate of lemon slices next to her tea. "Enjoy, your food should be out shortly."

Leigh nudged this new girl sitting next to her at the bar, grinning. "Welcome! Don't let Manly scare you off, he looks like a big scary guy, but on the inside he's a teddy bear." Leigh laughed, "So you want to win the lottery, huh? Don't we all..."

marnie squeezed the lemons into herr tea and dropped them in.
she like her iced tea more halflemonade half tea.
marnie stired her concotion and took a nice long sip.
'ahh, that sure hit the spot.'
actually a long island iced tea would be the ticket, marnie thought to herself.
marnie felt a slight nudge and turned toward the girl nudging her.
'yeah, the lottery would be an amazing winfall right about now.'
'hiya, my name is marnie, nice to meet you.'

"I'm Leigh, what brings you in here?" A wide toothy grin crept across her face, "This is a Dive bar, you know." Practically snorting at the stupid, pompous, sortof-meta name of the bar.
"Manlyyyy, can I get a long island iced tea? Watching her drink tea makes me want one." She laughed as Manly rolled his eyes at her, quickly and expertly mixing up a Long Island tea for her.

'what is a 'dive' bar, Leigh?' hummy asked feeling incredibly stupid.
marnie blushed hoping she didn't sound as stupid as she felt.
'a long island iced tea would hit the spot, today for sure.'

"They're usually described a 'locals bar,' I guess if you want the most simplistic description." She chuckled, "Sometimes they call us a menace but really, we just wanna drink and enjoy ourselves, without the uptight rigidity of most bars." She paused, still smiling like a jackal, "My favorite part about this local dive is the once-a-month pajama party I make Manly host." Manly grunted from the other side of the bar where he was cleaning some glasses.

"I only do that to meet chicks!" he yelled at Leigh.

Which sent Leigh into another fit of the giggles.

marnie laughed at manly.
'have you had much luck meeting 'chicks', manly?'
marnie asked hoping to engage him in their converrsation.
'that seems like an interesting idea for a bar.' marnie commented.
'i am just in here because it was walking distance from the mechanic's shop.' marnie said.
'bloodie robbers!' she scoffed.
'my car started having problem shifting into gear today, out of the blue.'
'sometimes i think the universe knows when you have a little tucked away for a rainie day.'
'and the damn thunderstorm pound you back down to reality.'
'sorry to rant, it's been a lousie day.'
marnie took a sip of herr iced tea and then a deep sigh.
'so how has yourr day been, Leigh?' she asked trying to lighten the conversation.
