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.))

[Duo leaned on his hand and watched. It was kind of interesting that Sam did that without measuring. He picked it up, sniffed at it, peered through the glass at one of the dimmed bar lights, and then took a sip.

Because, you know, that all made a difference right? It looked cool, anyway.]

Not bad. Kinda sweet, but I like sweet.

How'd you know how much to put in there?

	Oh I've been tendin' bar for a while now an' this drink is pretty popular an' simple. [And cheap, so lots of people tend to order it.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	devine_braid 2013-06-01 02:56 am UTC (link)
	Huh. [He nodded.] So you just eyeball it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	turnsonadime 2013-06-05 10:19 pm UTC (link)
	Yup. I've been pourin' shots so long I know round-abouts what a shot looks like in a glass. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	How long's that? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	turnsonadime 2013-06-09 09:51 pm UTC (link)
	Oh couple'a years now. I owned a bar back home for a good while. An' of course I've mixed a good few drinks at home or for parties when I was younger. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Duo smiled a bit.] Good to know I'm dealing with an experienced professional, then. [Because, you know, that was important when it came to new things.] Is that why you decided to convert this place here into your own place? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	turnsonadime 2013-06-15 12:10 am UTC (link)
	Yep, I wanted some place t'be more like home, not jus' for me of course, but I worked too hard back home t'give up my bar so easily. So I jus' made another here instead. Keeps me busy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

That's good. I'm still trying to find that thing to keep me busy. There was something for a while, but I think it disappeared in the shuffle over to the new place. Now... [He shrugged.] I'm on the baseball team and I hang out in the sports classes, but mostly I'm off on my own devices, so to speak.

I've been trying to get a basketball team off the ground, though. Doesn't seem to be a lotta people that really wanna get in on it.

	I don't think Basketball is as popular a sport anymore. Have ya tried Football? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	devine_braid 2013-06-18 05:53 pm UTC (link)
	Wha-? [Color him surprised!] But, hey... I like basketball... [He shook his head then.] No... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	turnsonadime 2013-06-20 02:10 am UTC (link)
	Ah, I mean, it ain't a bad sport! Just... I wonder if maybe that's why you're havin' trouble? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	devine_braid 2013-06-20 09:08 pm UTC (link)
	Maybe. [He pouted a little.] I mean, that would really suck. How do you get something to be popular? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	turnsonadime 2013-06-22 03:30 am UTC (link)
	[Jeeze now he feels bad.] I'm not sure. I guess ya already tried t'get people t'play. An' if ya ain't got enough players so people kin watch it's gonna be hard. Maybe there's a movie or somethin' about basketball that people kin see with ya? Sometimes people get real interested in things cause of movies. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	devine_braid 2013-06-22 04:30 am UTC (link)
	Actually... there's a few. That might not be a bad idea to try. (Reply to this) (Parent)
