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.))

	[That sort of thing is exactly what Saber said to him, what he said to her, to justify what they were risking. He knows it's correct, but...] [He shakes the shards off his hands -- they're not even bleeding -- and rest his head in them, rubbing his eyes.] I'm more miserable now than before I met her. ...And who'd have thought you'd be the optimistic type?

[He casts his eyes off trying not to draw parallels to other things here, things that don't have to do with Aidan, but it isn't easy.]

Yeah, well... Thank Aidan for that one. I sounded just like you before he came along. I didn't anyone to get close to me.

Don't get me wrong, I'm scared to death that he'll disappear. I'd fall apart if he did. I just... I don't know. I'm not going to let that fear stop me from being happy and getting the most out of our time right here and right now.

	[He doesn't know who Aidan is, but it's not that hard to connect the dots.] Trust me, it's easier to say that before the worst happens. It all felt worth it, before. [Then Zelgadis chuckles, almost out of nowhere.] And here I am telling you stuff I didn't want to say anyway. I guess you got me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Tch, trust me. I know. Aidan wasn't the only one I let in. And I lost her. She was killed because of me.

[Because they had the wrong guy, because of his reputation.]

But ya know, I would hate myself more if I hadn't got to know her. Even if I blame myself for the fact she's gone.

[Equal parts sharing here. He throws back the rest of his drink, swallowing hard and shaking it off.]

Yeah, well, not like I wanted to just tell you this shit either so... forget it. None of this happened.

	[Glancing over at Helix, a bit surprised. Who knew he had such capacity to give a damn?] Right. Good. My life is much easier if people think I'm heartless. [Which is, sort of, an apology. That's why he acts like a giant dickhead; because something bad happens every time he connects with someone.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[It's there, he just likes to pretend it isn't. Also a small scoff.]

Doesn't that sound familiar. [It was weird hearing it from the other side though.]

Trust me. If we were outside this dome? I wouldn't even try being nice. [Because of his life. The one that got the girl killed. Same reasons as Zel, something bad seems to happen to whoever he lets in.]

It's safer here. At least... in my case.

	The only way I'd be safer is if I could be far away from people. [That's what he does when he's not being dragged into Lina's business, it's what he really would love to do now. But there's just no escaping it when you're stuck in a literal bubble.] Or get my cure. [Because everything would be better, then. Sunshine and freaking rainbows.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Shrug.] Your choice. Just sounds like a real shitty way to punish yourself for something you can't help. But if that's what will make you happy, then who am I to say otherwise. [And now, he'll order another drink and get ready to leave him be. Just waiting on the bartender at this point.] (Reply to this) (Parent)
