[There is a Dino seated at the bar, elbows propped on it, face hidden in his hands. There is a bottle of...something next to him. Even Dino does not really know what it is, since he just grabbed without looking. GUESS WHO HE JUST RAN INTO?]

[ooc: Dino is upset after meeting the new Angela. Feel free to bug him about it!]

[Hei walks into the bar and notes that Dino is there, then grabs a bottle of his own and sits down a seat away from Dino. He pours himself a drink and downs half of it in one gulp.]

Sometimes I wonder if the Twins are recording all of this so they can make popcorn and laugh at us.

[Glances over just to confirm that it's Hei] I wouldn't be surprised. They're messed up enough for that.

[contract_star]

And right after Ikki reappeared. At least...Ikki remembered everything. [He drains his glass.]

[buckingbronco.livejournal.com]

[Ikki is someone he's only meet once. He really could care less about him right now.] Why doesn't Angela? Is it and experiment? Or...[He knows the Plane can screw with realities and he's come to the conclusion that it's probably not the Angela he knew, but he's still holding on to that last bit of hope.]

[contract_star]

[Hei shakes his head, taking another drink.] She's a different Angela entirely. [Tiny, sad little smile.] Same old Angela, but...different.

[Takes a drink]...The only time I've ever actually wanted something to be an experiment and it's not. This place seems to like dashing hopes.

[contract_star]

Of course it does.

[buckingbronco.livejournal.com]

I wonder if it's intentional or if it's just us failing.

[contract_star]

Probably a fair bit of both. I had terrible luck even before I started coming here.

[Deadpool's there, drinking. Does he know Dino? I don't recall. Regardless, Deadpool doesn't seem to notice Dino's angst yet.]

[buckingbronco.livejournal.com]

[I do not believe they have meet yet. Dino is to busy with his angst to notice there is anyone else in the bar anyway.]

[mercwamouth]

[Well this is interesting. Seems neither character will interact with the other unless some kind of crazy random happenstance were to occur]

[buckingbronco.livejournal.com]

[Like say..Dino attempting to turn a little to reach for his drink, not noticing his whip has gotten tangled in the legs of the barstool, and this somehow manages to make him fall of the stool? He does worse in canon when he's perfectly sober. So from the floor of the bar..]....Ow. I think the universe hates me.

[mercwamouth]

Or at least whoever invented gravity.

Newton?

[buckingbronco.livejournal.com]

I think he just discovered it. [Winces as he climbs to his feet and starts freeing his whip from the stool.]

[mercwamouth]

Putting together an Indiana Jones costume?

[buckingbronco.livejournal.com]

[Doesn't feel like being friendly, so he just takes his seat again]...No.

[mercwamouth]

It's OK, I won't judge.

[ The bar is no haven for you, Dino dear. After all, once she's done checking out the forest and the ballroom and the kitchen, she's here, investigating the cabinets on the other side of the bar. ]

[buckingbronco.livejournal.com]

[Doesn't notice her at first, although he hears someone rummaging around there. He figures it's just another member of the Plane and he doesn't feel like talking so is trying to ignore the noise.]

[whitestlotus.livejournal.com]

... No wonder you're all crazy. There's enough alcohol here to drown a whole crew of penguins.

[ Clink, clink, she pops the cork on one of the bottles and sniffs it, makes a face, and puts it away again. ]

[buckingbronco.livejournal.com]

[Glances up sharply when he hears that voice. He tries not to groan. She's the last person he wants to see right now. But..] Penguins don't drink.

[whitestlotus.livejournal.com]

Obviously you've never been to Polpota. They do, quite a lot, too.

[ Rustle rustle, she's still looking through the stuff there. ] Hmmm, I wonder what a bottle artifact would do...

[buckingbronco.livejournal.com]

So Polpota are pengines? Are they...beastmen? [It takes him a moment to recall the word Angela once used. Well the old Angela used].

Bottle artifact?

[whitestlotus.livejournal.com]

Polpota is a harbor city. The penguins dock their ships there and drink themselves silly. And they're pirates. The beastmen are completely different.

[ She stands up with an armful of bottles, hauling them up onto the bar. ] Artifacts. Items created by artifact mages. Some of them were pretty powerful. If there's one here, it could be-- Ooo, applesock ale, I haven't had that in a while.
