Day 219 [video-->Action] Merlotte's Mingle - Open to All!
[What better way to kick off a mingle than to broadcast the invitation to the entire dome?]

Hey ya'll. I know it's kinda outta place t'say Welcome to Marina cause no one really wants t'be here, but it ain't all bad. In any case, I've got a bar an grill here in Sector 4 called Merlotte's, figure th' new arrivals may want to come on down and have a drink or two after a trip like that.

Anyone's welcome of course, we're open from mornin' to night. Come on in an' have a bite to eat or somethin' to ease your troubles.

((ooc: This is an open mingle. Feel free to thread everywhere with anyone. As always, before threadjacking make sure it's okay by the player but otherwise have fun! Sam is available to chat with either by Video or in person and his thread is right Here. There is a full menu of down-home diner/grill sort of foods, so hamburgers, french fries, salads, soups, breakfast items or whatever other comfort food you can think of and a few other things from other worlds. There is a full bar, wine, liquor, beer and even blood or synthetic blood. He also has a pool table and there's plenty of room in booths or tables to play cards or whatever else.))

	[Garcia doesn't mind bars. They're great meet-up spots and there's always something going on, someone to chat up. Which is why she has no qualms about popping up next to the blond at the bar with a smile like they're old buds. Funky hair draws her in like flies to honey.] So what's good here?

	[ Never had much luck with blondes, and yet he can never really stay away from them. He gives her a bored sort of look as she sits down before taking the opportunity to be offensive. A chance wasted and all that. ] The B positive isn't so bad. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[It takes half a second to sink in, but she ends up laughing once it does.] Oh man, if you're trying to shock me you should've caught me about a month ago when I was green as a new sprout when it came to all things magical and blood-drinking. Ah, those were the days, so innocent and carefree, when I only had to worry about things like some maniac knifing my face off.

[Yeah, she may have had a drink already. And it's not that she's entirely un-nervous here, but if the guy decides to make a meal of her in a crowd like this there's not a whole lot she can do but be glad there's no YouTube under the sea. Being friendly kept her alive so far!]

	Oh poppet, this isn't tryin'. [ Amused. He's kind of impressed though, in a nice and casual way. ] Point taken, though. Early bird and all that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I think you might have just compared me to a worm, but I kind of love being called Poppet so I'm so okay with it. [Have a warm smile and a hand out for shaking!] I'm Penelope Garcia. Pick the name you like best, or feel free to stick with that Poppet thing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ He gives that outstretched hand a look of disbelief before shaking it. ] Spike — and before you ask, that wanker Billy Idol did not come first. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[She shakes his hand while having a hearty laugh.] I think you may have just made the short list of my favorite people here. It's been so long since I was on the receiving end of a good pop culture joke. I do love the hair, by the bye. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2013-05-30 12:42 pm UTC (link)
	I wasn't joking, but it is nice to be on the right end of that jab for once. [ Smirk. ] You're certainly a lady of fine taste... more than I can say for most of the people in this snowglobe. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ah yes, I'm quite the connoisseur of all things punk and 80's. The golden age of American fashion, if you ask me. Just looking at pictures of people's outfits from back then can cheer me up for the whole day. [Like the images of Emily all goth'd out. Such a beautiful thing.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2013-05-30 08:20 pm UTC (link)
	I'm more into the late 70's but it was a good time. New York was a blast then. [ Nevermind that he's partially so fond of that time because of Nikki Wood. ] You into the music too or just the rags? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	unmitigated 2013-05-30 09:32 pm UTC (link)
	Oh, I'll bet. People are still sexually liberated enough to be wild and the clubs, man. Granted I've only read about it all, but it sounds like it would make for one of those weekend you never ever mention again. [But of course she's into the music!] You betcha! Who's your fave? Warning, I may burst into song if it's a good enough choice. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2013-05-31 07:15 pm UTC (link)
	The usual suspects — Sex Pistols, the Ramones. [ And since he's getting all excited about the good old days. ] I should see about getting my records, once I'm in the warden's good graces again. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	unmitigated 2013-06-04 01:50 am UTC (link)
	Aww, I LOVE the Ramones! I Wanna Be Sedated is seriously a classic. And a great headbanging or shower song if I ever heard one. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2013-06-04 09:53 pm UTC (link)
	[ Good job on getting a vampire friend, Penelope! Man, is he glad your paths crossed. ] You really are a lady of fine taste! How far back into the past was the 70s for you, anyway? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	unmitigated 2013-06-05 01:30 am UTC (link)
	40-ish years, and hell if that's not hard to say considering when I was born. [She takes a slug of her beer, not enough to impede her rambling.] If you do get those records, we should rock out sometime. I bet you play a mean air guitar. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2013-06-05 11:20 am UTC (link)
	Sure, why not? Could be a laugh. [ Speaking of, he should actually drink that whiskey of his. ] Forty-some years, huh... that puts you where? 2000? 2010? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	unmitigated 2013-06-08 12:18 am UTC (link)
	2012, the year the world ends. Or so the Internet would have us believe. [She has a few theories of her own that are a little out there, but that one is just too far gone.] You? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2013-06-08 02:31 pm UTC (link)
	1999, one of the many, many years when the world actually did almost end. [ And you're about to be in for a treat... ] Been through a few near-Apocalypses by now. They never get boring. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Oh yeah? [She somewhere between fascinated and appalled by that particular bit of information. Real, happening-to-her-and-people-she-loves apocalypses would suck yes, but this is like... reading a comic book level of distant, she cares but she doesn't have to live through it, so.]

What did you do with what you thought would be your last few minutes? I've always thought I'd probably just be somewhere in a fetal position, but I hear sex is a popular alternative.

	Oh, there's been so many... during th' last one I grabbed my girl and drove like a bat out of hell. Literally, as it happens... luckily th' Slayer did her slaying thing and all was well in Sunnydale yet again. [ Until he came back. That was the grand plan, at least. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	How knight in shining armor of you. And hey, glad to hear the world didn't go all fire and brimstone. Not that this fishbowl is the best place to be or anything, but it beats dead. [She lifts her glass in an almost-toast and takes a drink. Here's to... not dead!] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2013-06-08 06:42 pm UTC (link)
	The world got a lucky break. [ Not really joining her in the almost-toast, but it did seem like a good time to drink. ] Besides, it's not so bad being dead. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	unmitigated 2013-06-08 06:45 pm UTC (link)
	Well, there's a big difference between you dead and dead dead, like doornail dead, the kinda dead I'd be. Although I'm sure I'd be about the worst vampire ever, so probably best that when I'm gone it's all she wrote. [She pauses.] Not that I'm in a rush or anything. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2013-06-08 07:02 pm UTC (link)
	What makes you say that? It's not like we have an entrance exam. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	unmitigated 2013-06-08 07:09 pm UTC (link)
	[She laughs a little, because well. If you knew her it'd be obvious.] Because I'm probably the biggest softie in the entire world. Bleeding heart, you might say, is the fitting term, because I'd be hard pressed to actually make anyone else bleed. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
