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.))

	You'd think so. But unless things get truly out of control the wardens seem to do little to intervene. It's almost like the system doesn't want us to ever get out or something. [There's some sarcasm to her voice. Faith in the wardens is not something Rebekah has.] It's worth exploring, if nothing else. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Or that they preferred for something to happen to us. Shorten our time here.

[ it's a morbid thought, but she wouldn't be surprised if it were true. she's known people who would pull something like that, hypocrites that they are. ]

Indeed.

[ she pauses for a moment, wanting to find out more about her current companion, but knowing that were the tables turned, she wouldn't want to offer up much of herself to a complete stranger. ]

I hope the days are as normal and relatively harmless as possible despite this. I would imagine it's fairly easy to fall into a routine here.

	Always an option as well. [Basically, she wouldn't be surprised.] It can be. Still, the place throws surprises at us. A few days ago many of were cursed with our strongest traits being heightened. [For Rebekah it's her ability to love -- and her temper. Needless to say, it had been messy.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ it's almost sad that no one she's spoken to yet has a very high opinion of their wardens. ] Strongest traits? [ her eyebrows slide up her forehead. ] I'd wager that could have ended in what I've heard called a "trainwreck." [ and she is so glad she missed it. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	To say the least. It was not anything I want to repeat anytime soon. [Or ever, really.] Another time they had people haunted by ghosts. Equally unpleasant. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I can't imagine anyone would want to.

[ helen herself would rather opt out of that one. she isn't entirely certain what a place like this would deem her dominant trait and she doesn't really want to find out. ]

...I'm beginning to think our wardens have a stigma against allowing their prisoners to rest. Or they believe it's all a learning experience or a punishment due our supposed crimes.

	Or they're bored and using a form of entertainment. Honestly, it could be a little of all of those reasons. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ she laughs softly at that. ] Wonderful when the people involved in something agree in their dislike of the higher-ups. That always goes over well. In any case, perhaps someday we could return the favor. [ she takes a long sip at that. she doesn't expect it to be possible, but doing so would certainly be entertaining. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	At least it gives us all something to have a sense of camaraderie about. [She can't help but smirk a little at the thought.] Perhaps. I find myself very much looking forward to that day. (Reply to this) (Parent)
