That's good, man.

(Drinks...alone)

I can't believe this dive is still standing.

I like this place. Besides, I'm the bartender.

An underage barkeep....Never thought I would see that.

The Internet is an amazing place.

So amazing I can have a pan-galactic gargle blaster?

Thank Zaphod for inventing it. (Mixes blaster and gives it to Chris)

I've been looking for you!

I'd like a double shot of vodka in Sprite. What flavors of Stoli's do you have?

Thank Zaphod for inventing it. (Mixes blaster and gives it to Chris)

Many thanks....

....wait, you know Zaphod? No way!

I can't believe this dive is still standing.

Yeah, but it's your dive. :D

Many thanks....

....wait, you know Zaphod? No way!

He's my semicousin.

Yeah, but it's your dive. :D

Which makes her the holy diver. [/Dio reference]

Whatever you need. (Gives a shot to Posi)

Whatever you need. (Gives a shot to Posi)
Strasberi, unless you have some Elit kicking around. Been meaning to try it out.

Right here. (Gives to Posi) I can't wait till summer school's over.

If Neesika is online, get her a muff diver too.

*goes out to find a chick for Neesika to dive*

Heh. There are several extremely kinky bisexuals in the upstairs rooms. (I don't want to have the customers see people having sex, it might scare them) Tell Neesika to have a ball.

Too late. I'm already on East Hastings finding someone.

What about me? :(

If you want to have sex, go in the upstairs rooms with the other kinky bisexuals. Neesika will find you.

We respect you.

Sounds good to me. Thanks! Can I get a Lindemann's Framboise to go?

We respect you.

Oh! Oh dear...do you not respect me anymore now that I've made a joke about wanting to have sex in the NS Pub?

No. My respect is hard to lose.

Thank you. <3

Oh, time warp! So, what did I do to deserve your undying respect?

Oh! Oh dear...do you not respect me anymore now that I've made a joke about wanting to have sex in the NS Pub?

No. You're NSG's aunt, the one person that nobody can hate.

Sounds good to me. Thanks! Can I get a Lindemann's Framboise to go?

Sure. (Hands to Ilie) It's on the house.

What a sweet thing to say! Man, this is probably my favorite drink, too bad it's a little pricey, and not every bar has it. Gravlen and his friends thought our alcohol was all very cheap compared to Norway's, though. That was a nice surprise.

Man, I am so bored.

...


What's all this about muff diving? And Ilie's my aunt now? What the hell have you all been drinking?

And where's mine?

Well, I wouldn't know, I'm too young to be a bar regular. (Frankly, my bartending experience was gained through another forum and watching Cheers)

And where's mine?

Oh, hey, Mike. Here's your Moosehead. Posi wanted to find a girl for Neesika to muff dive. I said there were some in the upstairs room. The aunt thing; I was just comparing Ilie to an aunt.

What's all this about muff diving?
You want in. *pays for one for Mikesburg*

I'll go see if Fass isn't busy.

Uhmmmm....

Is that a yes shrugs or a no shrugs?

Either way, I am to lazy to actually go find Fass, so use it on who you want.

Why Fass?

Well Nees isn't around, and Illie is apparently my aunt, so that doesn't really leave me very many options. Perhaps some other time...

*meanders away*

Mike, Ilie isn't actually your aunt. So, use it on her, considering you're NSG's uncle.

Dude, I just told you.

Missed that bit... thanks brother!

*drinks up the mooseheady goodness*

Come on now. I don't need any more nieces and nephews. Nah, I'm kidding.

NSG: Pull my finger!

And since when am I an aunt, seriously? I'm not old! :confused:

I'm the NSG Why Fass? :confused:

And since when am I an aunt, seriously? I'm not old! :confused:

It's news to me too. (Although I am of appropriate 'uncle age', if there is such a thing.)

I'm sure Johnny meant it in a good way... (?)

Well, I suppose. He's young enough to think of most of us as aunts and uncles.

Gah! I didn't think anyone was going to take me up on that one... (thankfully, I don't eat the pickled eggs here.)

Ewww.... budweiser...

Vodka and Bud, eh?

Never mind, thought you were mixing for a second...

Okay, that's enough of this pub thing for one night. Gonna give this NWN2 thing a go again. Later y'all!

He's just drinking what you are drinking.

Yep. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Though I looked up Moosehead and they're Canada's largest Canadian-owned brewery, so that's a definite +1.

Ewww.... budweiser...

I haven't actually tried it yet (Vodka and Bud), but am now wanting to commit this blasphemy.

Besides, I never thought of aunts and uncles as old people.

Can't. I got a contract with the International Voyeurist's Association. They pay for my inventory, keep the bar stocked, and I give them license to practice.

Eh, doesn't bother me too much...and I'll have another beer. I don't suppose you ever got the CCTV system up there working, did you?
Just kidding :D

In the back. (The other part of my contract. They don't tell the cops that I do this, if I give them access)

Here's your beer.

I have to go to a summer school for geometry prep. It's not too bad, except that there's this gangsta who's way bigger than me and wants to mess me up. I don't think he's serious, but his buddy...something shifty about the guy. Of course, if I ever said that, he'd accuse me of being racist. (He's Hispanic) And I prefer my real school. The girl I like once said that "...maybe when we get back to school" but she won't remember (I doubt it) and she probably likes someone else better.

[/end rant]

Anybody need a drink?

My sympathies.:fluffle:

Incidentally, I'd do anything for school right now. I finished in late June, and University doesn't start until October..... I am officially bored to tears....

I've even worked overtime....:D

I would do overtime if this guy at work didn't steal all of it before I started my shift. Bastard steals all the overtime then tells us he is broke. I need the money for uni rent!

Exactly! Well, not rent, but booze....

Yes that is more important.However I am already applying for bar work so booze should be plentiful and cheap!

Thanks. I know this guy she probably likes better. She's known him longer, and he's more her type. Yeah, I know the feeling. You think summer's gonna be great, but you end up sitting on your ass with nothing to do. My computer's borked, so I can't even listen to my music. So, yeah. I got a few friends there, but my real school is much better. And, yeah, I really want to see Sally again. (girl I like) It's not so bad, but it's not so great either.

Anyone need a drink?

Congratulations NSG! We have created a young alcoholic!

It's water, genius. :p

I'd argue but I'm not in the mood. I just hope to get back to school soon.

(Puts on Rock You Like A Hurricane - Scorpions)

I hate it when the pub closes.

Why let it close? I'm in the mood for a Caffrey's there Johnny.

What's new?

*Walks in and looks around slowly*

*Walks in and looks around slowly*

Hey brother! Welcom to the pub. Johnny get's busy, but he's the resident bartender. He'll set ya up.

*looks up and smiles*

Hey.

*sits and waits for the bartender*

I guess I should have said 'hey sister.' My bad. :-)

It's a fairly loosy goosy place. Whatcha drinkin'? I'm sure I could hook you up. I've been getting stumbly here for quite a while.

*looks up and smiles again*

It's ok. I'll have a vodka and orang juice thanks.

Heh. I thought this one had disappeared. Guess not. :p

*Eats pickled egg*

One screwdriver comin' up!

*mixes up a vodka and orange juice for IA*

So the NS Pub was your first stop, eh? Says a lot about a person... ;)

(Okay, maybe not your 'first'...)

*walks in and orders a vodka*

Just woke up from a nap and I'm feeling good.

(Howdy Mr. Who! Nice ta see ya!)

*Throws a few darts at the board, hitting the wall with two of the three*

Ah, this game's rigged. :(

Ah, Pete, ya just chose the wrong game. I might know a drinking game or two you could play with me... How much is in your wallet? Just curious...

Ah, I would, but this doesn't seem to be my night. Besides, I already emptied the pickled egg jar on credit. :p Next time. ;)

Ah, maybe I just picked the wrong night to hit the virtual pub...

*walks in looking confused*

Why is there a dart in the Juke Box?

*glances over*

Hm. Never noticed that before. Must've always been like that, though. I'm pretty sure of that. :)

Oh, I dunno. Aside from certain rotten streaks of luck, I'd say it's been a pleasant evening. :)

Ah good, this is back...
Well I'll have a vodka too, seems to be the popular drink of the night...
Evening, Mr. Who, Mike, Posi, Thumbless Pete Crabbe (mind if I call ya Pete?) and welcome to NS, Indescribable Angels. Have fun. *grins*

Ah, there are people drifting in, but I gotta go... later y'all!

Basically, these kind of monster spam threads do a decent job of lowering the level of over-debated basket-cases on this forum, so they tend to be allowed past the rules, at least for a while.

I know that is how it flew, but not from experience.

You'll see that eventually they might tighten up the rules, then 30 long time posters will go insane and some of those will quit the forum. Then the mods get fairly liberal with spam, and everybody chills a little bit.

Right now, we are at a peak for spam. School's out, so it should last until late August. I also pushed a few barely posting spammers into posting again, so this high is higher than usual.

At the beginning of the month, spam was non existent.

I went insane from meddling mods long ago, but I can't bring myself to quit, even though about 90% of the threads in here are crap.

We used to have word games and the or four different pubs, bars and clubs and a thread entitled "Last One to Post Here Wins!"

It was glorious. :( *sniff*

Yeah, the time warp. NS has always had server issues. The move to Jolt brought so much new attention. There's more nations that actually post on the forums post-Jolt than there ever were in the old days. We have "better" servers, but there's more people using them. It's the Red Queen Dilemma, you have to run as fast as you can just to stay in the same place.

But yeah, Jolt can't keep posts in order, it crashes regularly at 11:00 pm EST and when it finally collapses under all this I'm going to laugh.

That Swedish bitch better share her 1337 connection with us.

Heh, yeah.

What NS needed to do, back in the old days, was instead of enforcing new anti-spam and anti-word game rules, we needed to create a debate subforum. Then we could have had room for the people who enjoy shout-typing at strangers and the people who just want a bit of inane fun.They'll just point us to the spam forum. Who the hell wants to post there? It isn't even NS FFS!

Exactly. If I wanted to spam some arbitrary forum full of people I don't know I'd pick forums off the internet at random and do just that. I want a place on NS where I can have spammy fun with the few interesting people left on here who haven't been pushed away by increasingly fascist mods.

oh, and by the way (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDCcb3zRl8U).

Fear leads to anger.
Anger leads to hate.
Hate leads to power.
Power leads to victory.
Let your anger flow through you.
Your hate will make you strong.
True power is only achieved through testing the limits of one's anger, passing through unscathed.
Rage channeled through anger is unstoppable.
The dark side offers unimaginable power.
The dark side is stronger than the light.
The weak deserve their fate.

Be optomistic, happy, and calm
Show no fear or anxiety
Smile at the face of God
And your reward will be eternity
Holy warriors
Your patience will be justified
Everything is for Him
You must not confront the enemy
Before you kill it
Strike as champions at the
Heart of the non-believers
Strike above the neck
And at all extremities
For this is a point of
No return for Almighty God
God will give bahishti
To his faithful servants
When you reach ground zero
You will have killed the enemy
The Great Satan!

Squorn enters and looks around, hoping to see people, but prepared for disappointment.

She slipped in, keeping her hand against the worn grain to keep the door from slamming so as to avoid alerting the pub's various customers to her presence.

Her short, pale hair was soaked from the rain, but dried in a flash the moment the door clicked shut behind her, and she crossed the floor to collapse into a bar stool at the counter.

She slipped in, keeping her hand against the worn grain to keep the door from slamming so as to avoid alerting the pub's various customers to her presence.

Her short, pale hair was soaked from the rain, but dried in a flash the moment the door clicked shut behind her, and she crossed the floor to collapse into a bar stool at the counter.

She was an interesting girl. Like the kind of dame you'd find in an old film noir murder mystery. A woman of intrigue; of enigma. "What was she doing here?" I asked myself. Then I thought "Why would she not wish to be noticed? Of all the gin-joints in all the world, why did she choose this one? And why was I talking to myself?" I went back to my drink.

He turned at the quiet sound of the door opening and the soft footfalls on the wood floor. He paused in the middle of removing a weather beaten leather jacket, looking at the woman's face, before draping it over a chair and turning to face her.

"Nasty evening for a walk isn't it?"

*jazzy saxophone music plays in the background*

She felt the eyes of a stranger on the back of her neck and her skin prickled momentarily. She glanced over, eyes hard, and only saw someone watching their drink, taking a sip, watching their drink. She turned back.

Her eyes were blue for a moment and she took a swig from the vodka bottle mysteriously in her hand. She shook her hair out of her eyes, leant back on her stool, and heard a familiar voice.

Turning to look at him, her face worn with exhaustion, her eyes lit up again for a brief moment. "Squorn? I haven't seen you in ages. And as far as the walk went..." she laughed a little bitterly and patted the side of her coat. "Work as usual. You know."

Gesturing to the seat beside her, she pushed a sudden glass of iced tea to him.

A slow blues song was playing from the jukebox in the corner, and she closed her eyes briefly. It's almost like...

She opened them again, took another swig of vodka.

He cracked a grin as he walked over and sat down next to her, sliding his hand around the glass of tea. "I'm almost surprised you remember me after all this time. You haven't changed a bit thought Noire. Couldn't believe my eyes when you came through that door."

He took a long draught from his tea and leaned forward on the bar. "So, still working that old dead end job?"


OOC: not trying to leave you out here Maine, KJ and I go waaaay back.

She chuckled a little dryly. "'Dead end' job is a humurously ironic way of putting it. If you saw me come in, I'm a little down on my game. Can't go about being seen when you don't want to be in my line of work." Noire downed another bit of her vodka; it was half empty. She looked at it sadly, as though it were a friend on its deathbed, and downed the rest of it. It refilled.

"How've things been?"

OOC: By the way, it's not letting me post under my old Kjralon account.

He cracked a grin as he walked over and sat down next to her, sliding his hand around the glass of tea. "I'm almost surprised you remember me after all this time. You haven't changed a bit thought Noire. Couldn't believe my eyes when you came through that door."

He took a long draught from his tea and leaned forward on the bar. "So, still working that old dead end job?"


OOC: not trying to leave you out here Maine, KJ and I go waaaay back.

No problem. for the record, remember her too.

He chuckled and nodded. "I've been getting by like I always do. Odd jobs here and there." He took another sip of tea.

"It's been quiet around these parts lately, nothing like the old days at all," he turned and gave her a crooked smile. "Maybe times are changing though."

He looked over his shoulder. "Care to join us?"

I enter wearing a Chinese-made fidora with the $5.00 price tag still attached while smoking a Swisher Sweet.

*Insert name here* laughs at me and downs a pint. Then he laughs again.

Naturally, I'm not amused by this person's sophmoric behavior and as a result, take my dueling glove and slap him. "Sir, (Or Ma'am. Hopefully sir) I challenge you to a duel."

Quirking an eyebrow at the stranger wearing a fedora across the room, slapping another customer with a glove, she returned her attention to Squorn.

"For better or worse, they always do." Her lips twisted into somewhat of a tired smile and she raised her glass to the thought before lapsing back into a silence, pale eyes flashing back to the stranger at the table for a brief moment before swallowing some more vodka.

ooc: Maine, you do? XD That makes me happy; I feel old and unremembered. Swizeet. Were you in PBC or PC at all?

Squorn looked briefly over his other shoulder at the newly entered stranger who was apparantly shouting at someone. He didn't spend much attention on it. Whatever the problem was, it didn't involve him. He raised his glass and finished it off in response to Noire's words.
"That's the truth right there."

She spoke again reluctantly. "Has anyone... else been around?"

He sat silent and still for a moment before speaking. "I haven't seen anyone, although I must confess, I haven't really been around much myself."

Squorn idly picked up a random coin from the countertop and began to work it back and forth between his fingers. "People led dangerous lives. There's a few I wouldn't expect to see again, although again, I must confess that you were one of those."

Noire grinned a bit, though it was really more of a grimace, white teeth showing in the dimness of the pub. "It's true... I don't know how much I expected of myself, either."

She spun the half-empty vodka bottle 'round on the countertop, between her small fingers. "It's just strange, all the new things, all the new faces. Not that I miss many, but nonetheless... it's almost like coming home to find it completely changed, completely different."

It was the longest statement she'd said all night. She took another sip of vodka, tacked on, jokingly, "At least, as much of a home as is possible, right?"

He smiled thinly and nodded, "A bit like coming home only to find that someone else lives there. There's no familiarity to this place." He made a sweeping gesture across the room with his arm. "If these walls could talk they wouldn't have anything to say to us."

He pushed his glass away and started scratching at the countertop with his fingernail. He was silent again for a moment, and then spoke. "It's a reminder of our own mortality."

She slipped in, keeping her hand against the worn grain to keep the door from slamming so as to avoid alerting the pub's various customers to her presence.

Her short, pale hair was soaked from the rain, but dried in a flash the moment the door clicked shut behind her, and she crossed the floor to collapse into a bar stool at the counter.

He was sitting outside, the awning barely keeping the rain out of his face and doing nothing to save his legs from soaking, quietly strumming the only thing in this world that hadn't somehow betrayed him.

The notes were not so much produced from the guitar as pulled out of his soul, blending together to form a bluesy melody not too different from the one playing on the jukebox inside. And why not? He had written it.

His name was Jeremy White, and when he had been young, he had the world at his fingertips. The melodies he crooned and the sweet sounds he had coaxed out of his guitar were on their way to making him a star. But now...


now he hung out in the rain outside the only pub in town that still had his song on the jukebox, totally unrecognized by patrons and unable to afford a even a drink to take away his misery.


Suddenly from out of the darkness came a figure. She quickly made her way into the pub, and paid Jeremy no notice. He was not unduly offended, however. Not many noticed him these days. She had seemed as tired as he felt. He reflected on where he was, and wished he wasn't here. But there was no where in the world where he was better accepted.

In a sudden fit of inspiration, he removed his hat and placed it upside down in front of him. Maybe, just maybe, he was still good enough to earn him enough to forget tonight.

She laughed. "Too true, too true. But still somewhat of an echo here, I think." Her hands took in the fireplace roaring feebly in the corner, surrounded by worn, cushy armchairs and a matchingly worn and cushy sofa, all perched on a struggling-yet-warm Persian rug. They took in the boarded walls, the etched and memoir-filled countertop of the bar, the stools that creaked when you leaned back a bit too far. Her lips twisted in something that was almost affection, nostalgia for the old place, and the vodka bottle vanished from her grip.

She tugged out a cloth and a small switchblade from an inner pocket of her jacket, and began to polish the knife.

Squorn looked up from the small groove he was making in the bartop. "Still with an eye for sharp, shiny things I see." His smile widened into something more genuine. "It's certainly a place with some potential to it. I didn't mean to make it out to be as bleak as I did."
He ran his fingertip over the countertop, feeling the new imperfection in it. "See, I've left my mark on the place already."

Noire waved the blade teasingly under his nose before slipping it back into her pocket. "Naturally."

She shrugged, eyes still taking in the place. "And eh, it's the hour. Everything's bleak when it's dark and wet outside. This's more about just making our own niches."

Her face propped in her hands, elbows propped on the counter, she examined Squorn's engraving, examined the carvings and artwork of others.



The sound of a guitar was slipping in through the crack under the door, moving with the rain beating on the windows and the roof of the pub. She closed her eyes, enjoying it. Vaga used to play in the club. I remember that.

"True enough. Nighttime rainstorms are never very good for one's mood."
Squorn leaned back as far as he safely could without falling off the barstool. The position wasn't as comfortable as he'd hoped, so he stood up and stretched his legs instead. The muted sound of a guitar mixed with the patter of rain on the roof and windows.
Now that's odd. I don't remember seeing any guitarists around.

She half-nodded, struggling to listen through her exhaustion, and a yawn overtook her face, which she covered to hide. She gestured towards the sofa with her chin. "I need some sleep, Squorn... I'll crash on the couch, it looks like. I dunno if they got rooms here, so..." her voice trailed off, worn out, and she rose, gave him a half-hearted, somewhat awkward pat on the shoulder to bid him goodnight, and stumbled across the floor where she collapsed on the couch, the sounds of tinkling metal echoing beneath her coat.

The fire grew a bit, danced happily, and Noire was asleep in moments, mind blissfully blank.

ooc: Nighty!

"Sweet Dreams Noire."
He smiled and grabbed his jacket from where he'd left it on the chair, shrugging it down over his shoulders and striding to the door. He swung it open and paused under the awning before venturing out into the rain. He glanced down to find the source of the mysterious guitar music. There was an old man with a beat up looking guitar there, playing softly, his hat on the ground in front of him. Sqourn quickly dug in his pocket and pulled out a couple dollars, leaning down to drop them into the hat before walking off into the rain.
"Here ya go, have one on me."

ooc: night

when did RPing become outlawed on this forum?

I haven't been here in awhile, granted, but when I was last here Paradise Club was in full swing and a good number of posters roleplayed.

I just kind of jumped in in when I saw RPing, didnt look at the rest. I remember alot of it at PC and thought it was OK.

Actually looking at the rest of the thread, I CAN see it's very little to no RPing, but you can't say it's cutting down on spam. I think if the thread were to be locked, it shouldn't be on account of me, KJ, and Squorn.

After all, what were posting isn't far removed from what the others are posting, if a bit more eloquently worded.


EDIT I don't want this to sound like a call to shut down the thread. Not my intention at all. I just want to be allowed to have fun in my own way, and am showing it's not too different from everyone elses. Couldn't these posts be skimmed over?

Well? I need a beer!

That's a load. If RPing in NSG is banned it's a very recent development. The mods used to threaten to lock our threads if they degenerated from RP into random chat. It also seems a little odd for someone who's only been on these forums a year to say "It's always been that way."

Next time, get your facts straight before you start scolding people.

EDIT: In fact, the NS General Forum Rulings thread states that random chat threads are banned, and says this about RP:
Social RP: In the wake of several out-of-control threads, standards were established for socializing threads. These sorts of threads are tolerated as long as a) there aren't too many of them, b) they attempt to maintain at least a façade of roleplaying behavior, and c) they are locked at approximately 1300 posts.

So please, never presume to tell me what I may and may not do on here again.

Bravo, good sir. I tried to use logic, but I'm not sure whether I was unclear or he missed it. However, people always respect rules WAY more than they respect logic anyway.

Let's hope we can get something started.

But it's a pub! Nobody has to drink (and after last night, I'd advise them NOT to!) and anything should be OK.

Honestly. I can't see how your roleplaying is hurting anyone. AND if you start a new RP thread in General, it will attract far more flames than here. The pub gets up the front page sometimes and people who don't want to chat can still ignore it. A RP thread in General will either get moved or deluged in some religious flame-war, I'm guessing.

It's not so much along the lines of drinking, but just the fact that this is less plot-based and more of a hang-out RP. To an extent.

Also, the rules support having an RP thread, to an extent, despite the fact that TECHNICALLY this is already one... and if anyone turns it into a religious flame-war, they'll get reported. The mods can deal with hijacking.

Nah, I don't think that many people will care all that much, but it's obvious to me that at least one of the denizens of this thread doesn't want our RPing in here.

EDIT: exactly, what KJ said. They are similar threads, but one is a hangout thread with a light RP format, while the other is a social RP thread.

The best things are always home-made. They sure don't sell egg/onion sandwiches in stores - gotta make 'em fresh. :)

hack i've had not had a pickled onion/egg sandwiche in years :(

*nods, with a frown*

It's a sad state of affairs, really. Going out to eat invariably means something bland anymore. :( Inoffensive tastes and flavors seem to be the rule.
