Who: Anyone
When: Day 135, morning
Where: C7
What: A bar!!

[On Level 4, C7, an already-grungy-looking sign hangs over a door: The In and Out. Another one is tacked to the partially-open door: "Words come out, booze goes in." And a third, smaller: NOW OPEN FOR BUSINESS.

And if you actually look in, it's a bar. A small bar, a kind of dingy and damp bar, but a bar nonetheless, with a few tables, a bar counter, and a few semi-private booths. (Never fully private, tho, Ur'ghaste don't roll that way.)

Ur'ghaste is hanging out behind the bar, cleaning(??? or at least, running a rag inside) a glass. There is also a 'till' up front made of a hunk of rotting wood with one trumpet-like fungus extending from it. A sign explains the concept: if Ur'ghaste isn't in, speak into this trumpet and tell it something -- a story about your world's society, a secret fear or hope you are nursing, a current resentment, an inadequacy -- and as long as it is both true and either personal or societal, your drink will be slid along the bar to you.]

Welcome~.


((OOC: The In and Out is an open setting - feel free to have a post or thread set in it at any time and if you feel like pinging Ur'ghaste into something in it in the future, just link it in hir shrine page.))

So I can have something if I wanted?

[growsonyou]

That's the implication, yes. Well, for the usual cost. [taps the sign]

[apriori]

...oh, sure. What words do you want?

[growsonyou]

Tell me something about yourself that annoys you.

[apriori]

Oh, that's easy! I share a face with some other guy from a parallel timeline, and he's not the sort I'd get along with at all. Everyone mixes us up, and it's really annoying -- that's my face, you know?

[growsonyou]

Is that about yourself or him?

[apriori]

[A pause.

Gosh, this is a hard question.]

I don't know, both of us? Being expected to be someone else really messes with my head. Like sometimes I wonder if I'm the one who's wrong.

[growsonyou]

How so?

[apriori]

Like maybe I should be the way he is. Everyone tells me I'm all messed up, and I never thought about it that way until I got here.

[growsonyou]

That sounds troubling. But it's worth thinking about and seeing why you feel that way, hm? What will you have?

[apriori]

Oh, I don't know much about alcohol. Is red wine okay?

[growsonyou]

If you like.

[pours him something reddish which is probably wine in that it has a sort of sour fruity bouquet]

[This is the face of a choir boy realizing a large gulp of this is noticeably different than a sip of communion wine.]

[YEAH WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO LAUGH THAT OFF]

So what do you do with those words?

[growsonyou]

I keep them, of course.
