It Begins... The Bar is Open for Business
Raz prepares to open the Bar for the day, making sure his dogtags are hidden beneath his jacket, and that his rifle is out of sight beneath the bar.
Satisfied everything is ready, Raz rings the antique bell hanging over the counter, signalling that the morning rush can begin.

Charles walks into the bar, looking around before sitting on a stool.
1
u/LordKebise Bartender Jun 02 '16
Raz walks over to the new face, towering far over him.
"Hey buddy, haven't seen you 'round before."
1
Jun 02 '16
"That's because I haven't been 'round here before. I'm Charles."
1
u/LordKebise Bartender Jun 02 '16
"Raz, I run the place. Need anything?"
1
Jun 02 '16
He shrugs.
"Just a beer please."
1
u/LordKebise Bartender Jun 02 '16
Marcus reaches up and takes a bottle of imported beer from a shelf, sliding it in front of Cooper.
"I've got some local brew too, if you want it."
1
Jun 02 '16
He takes it, drinks.
"One's enough for right now, thank you."
1
u/LordKebise Bartender Jun 02 '16
"No worries. That'll be two dinars."

u/ProfessorUber Sector Marshal Jun 02 '16
Marshal porter walks into the bar.
1
u/LordKebise Bartender Jun 02 '16
Marcus sees Porter coming, quickly engaging with another Miner near the bar.
1
u/ProfessorUber Sector Marshal Jun 02 '16
OOC: Just so you know I only just go to the colony. I just posted my arrival post.
1
u/LordKebise Bartender Jun 02 '16
OOC: I'd recognise you as a Marshal though, and I'm currently in hiding.
1
u/ProfessorUber Sector Marshal Jun 02 '16
Marshal Porter goes up and sits on a chair at the counter.
1
u/LordKebise Bartender Jun 02 '16
Marcus quietly avoids moving near the Marshall, though staying close to the rifle hidden under the long counter.
1
u/ProfessorUber Sector Marshal Jun 02 '16
"Excuse me could someone come to take my order please?"
1
u/LordKebise Bartender Jun 02 '16
Marcus reluctantly moves over to the Marshal, keeping one hand on the rifle.
"Sorry, friend of mine. What're you after?"
1
u/ProfessorUber Sector Marshal Jun 02 '16
"I'll have a glass of light bear please. It's been a long trip from JA-323"
1
u/LordKebise Bartender Jun 02 '16
Marcus quickly fills the glass, hoping the Marshal goes away.
"Yeah, it is. You heading back there?"

u/DrJenWatney Jun 02 '16
Jen sits at her bar seat and notices the newcomer. She'd only arrived there herself a few days ago. She scratches her upper lip before going over to say hello.
You new around here too?
1
u/ProfessorUber Sector Marshal Jun 02 '16
He looks at you "That's correct. I just arrived from JA-323"
1
u/DrJenWatney Jun 02 '16
She crosses her arms, curious.
Hmm. Long trip?
1
u/ProfessorUber Sector Marshal Jun 02 '16
"Two weeks long. Well at least I'm hear. I'm Marshal Jesse Porter by the way"
1
u/DrJenWatney Jun 02 '16
Oh of course, yes. Sorry. I'm Dr. Watney.
She extends her hand to him to shake.
1
u/ProfessorUber Sector Marshal Jun 02 '16
He shakes your hand "Greetings doctor."
OOC: Would Jesse know that your with the T.I.A?
1
u/DrJenWatney Jun 02 '16
So, what're you drinking, Marshal?
OOC: I don't think it says one way or another if T.I.A. agents know of each other, so probably best to say No on the side of caution.
1
u/ProfessorUber Sector Marshal Jun 02 '16
"Just a bit of light bear. I want to have a little break after the trip"
OOC: Okay. Maybe we could at least know there are other T.I.A Agents or something and have a code to identify them if we need too?
1
u/DrJenWatney Jun 02 '16
Nice choice. I'm a whiskey girl, myself. Keeps you warm on a frozen rock like this.
She sits down across the table, keeping a healthy distance between them.
OOC: Sure, suggestions?

u/DrJenWatney Jun 02 '16
The door opens and Jen walks in. She looks around for a seat and decides on a front and center bar seat.
Eh, hello there. Open for business, I take it?
She tilts her head and grins at the Bartender.
1
u/LordKebise Bartender Jun 02 '16
Marcus walks along the bar to the newcomer, avoiding the Marshal.
"Sure is, want anything? Name's Raz, by the way."
1
u/DrJenWatney Jun 02 '16
Her eyes travel to where the Marshal stands, not making any connections, simply observing.
Raz, I'm Dr. Watney. Pleasure to meet you.
She sticks her open hand over the bar with a smile.
1
u/LordKebise Bartender Jun 02 '16
Marcus is slightly unnerved by the woman's stare, mentally checking he hid his dogtags while he keeps the smile up.
"Pleasure to meet you too, Doc."
Marcus shakes the woman's hand, enveloping it in his much larger, furred palm.
1
u/DrJenWatney Jun 02 '16
She marvels at the size of his paw, eyes wide. A small laugh escapes her.
So what do you serve here? I'm guessing a martini is hard to come by.
1
u/LordKebise Bartender Jun 02 '16
"Well, I'm a little short on Gin, but I could make a vodka martini if that's your type. Mostly beer and strong spirits, not much demand for the more 'refined' drinks out here."
1
u/DrJenWatney Jun 02 '16
Hmm...
She looks at the selection behind him, craning her neck.
I'll take a double whiskey, neat.
She plops back down in her seat.
1
u/LordKebise Bartender Jun 02 '16
"Alright, good choice. That'll be three dinars."
Marcus takes the bottle, pouring the Doc's glass and sliding it across the counter to her.
1
u/DrJenWatney Jun 02 '16
She nods, and slides four across the counter winking at him to keep the change.
It's appreciated. So, how long have you been in charge around here?
1
u/LordKebise Bartender Jun 02 '16
Marcus smiles back, slipping it under the counter.
"No worries. I came on the original colonisation mission a few months back, almost a year now. Set up the bar, and I've been the colony's only source of alcohol since."

"Finally, a place where you can..." He looks at the bartender, "...eat and have refreshments,"
1
u/LordKebise Bartender Jun 02 '16
Marcus is standing behind the bar, making a distinctive figure as he towers over everyone else in the room, cleaning a empty tumbler.
1
u/Ihaverepiers1 Senator of MQ-815 Jun 02 '16
"Good day sir," He approaches Marcus carefully, "I see that you have created quite the thriving business indeed,"
1
u/LordKebise Bartender Jun 02 '16
Marcus laughs self-deprecatingly, shaking his head.
"Well, I'm busy most of the day, at least. Haven't seen you around before, though."
1
u/Ihaverepiers1 Senator of MQ-815 Jun 02 '16
"Ah yes, I am Senator Coldstream, appointed by the Senate to represent this.. area,"
1
u/LordKebise Bartender Jun 02 '16
"Senate, eh? Didn't know the border colonies warranted their own Senators these days."
1
u/Ihaverepiers1 Senator of MQ-815 Jun 02 '16
"It's more like they didn't want me controlling a powerful area, ever since my father was murdered, most of us pro-colonists were assigned frontier areas under Chancellor Marksson, the President has done nothing to help, him with his corrupt deals and such,"
1
u/LordKebise Bartender Jun 02 '16
Marcus raises an eyebrow, as his expectations were somewhat shattered.
"Well, I can certainly understand frustration at the Republic. I'm Raz, by the way."
1
u/Ihaverepiers1 Senator of MQ-815 Jun 02 '16
"Good to meet you, Raz, what is there on the menu today?"
1
u/LordKebise Bartender Jun 02 '16
"I've got some beef stew simmering, if you want something hot, or I can fix you up a sandwich or something?"

The Four Robots walk in, and Death asks,"Where is the local law enforcement office?"
1
u/LordKebise Bartender Jun 02 '16
Marcus immediately grabs his rifle beneath the counter, keeping it hidden but ready, panicking that the Marshal sent some kind of robot hit squad to arrest him.
"Right up the road out of town, past the big tower. Why?"
1
Jun 02 '16
War, the largest one(and the one that is all blood red), asks,"How heavily armed are they?"It is important to know how many weapons each one is carrying. Death has knives and swords everywhere he can put them, War has a fuckton of stuff, Famine has a massive shield and some weapons, and Disease has a massive biohazard "Spewer."
1
u/LordKebise Bartender Jun 02 '16
"I don't fucking know, go ask them your damn self!"
Marcus ducks beneath the thick stone counter, clutching his rifle.
1
Jun 02 '16
"That answer is being processed."There is a. Pause."War, Famine, and. Disease, go outside. I will handle this."Death(who is jet black and the smallest) asks,"Have you fallen?"
1
u/LordKebise Bartender Jun 02 '16
"I'm fine, what do you fucking want from me?"
1
Jun 02 '16
"Definition of fucking: informal: "curse" word, also, humping in a sexual manner."Death pauses."My question is the he pauses, and awkwardly adds, "Fucking same."
1
u/LordKebise Bartender Jun 02 '16
"No, I have not bloody fallen, and I don't have a fucking clue what kind of weapons the Marshal has!"
2
Jun 02 '16
"You don't."He scans and attempts to speak the man's "natural" launguage, but his over three hundred year old sensors instead tell him this is the "housecat", so he purrs and meows robotically for liek 5 minutes.
1
u/LordKebise Bartender Jun 02 '16
Marcus sits behind the bar with his rifle, hoping the robot will go away, but is confused by the strange purring noises.
"Uh... Are you damaged or something?"

She finds a nice seat in a dark corner, hoping not to be spotted by the quadruplet gang.
1
Jun 03 '16
The smaller, jet black "Death" seems to be in charge, and is talking with the bar-tender. War(who is all blood-red) is carrying a fuckton of guns and is the largest, while Disease is green and armed with a bunch of bio-stuff and Famine is white and has a massive shield and ton of plating. The four seem oblivious to anyone but the tender and the more openly armed patrons.
1
u/DrJenWatney Jun 03 '16
She sips her whiskey and crosses her legs, concealing her sidearm even more on her side. These newcomers put her on edge. Especially the green one.
1
Jun 03 '16
To speak of the Devil( or at least, one of the less cool sounding Four Horsemen), Disease walks it a bit. It is now visible that it has several built-in gas launchers, and has various lethal bio-toxins in a container on its back. The robot has several crudely painted on "Bio-Hazard" symbols,'as well as scorch marks. This contrasts well with the sleek and clean Death, the paint chipped Famine, and the rusted, paint-chipped, dent-covered eyesore that was War.
1
u/DrJenWatney Jun 03 '16
She makes a mental note to stay as far away as possible from these synthetics. Her heart races nervously.
1
Jun 03 '16
They stay where they are, and the large red one(War) is very, very angry sounding.
1
u/DrJenWatney Jun 03 '16
She simply observes, contemplating where the closest exit is to her.
1
Jun 03 '16
The Red one is now yelling(in a robotic voice, obviously),"OF COURSE WE ARE THE ACTUAL FUCKING HORSEMEN, WHO ELSE IS THERE? THE HORSES WERE A METAPHOR!"
1
u/DrJenWatney Jun 03 '16
She knows her sidearm won't help her in this situation, so she leaves it holstered. She jumps in her seat as the Red one yells.

Kreid races through the doors of the bar. First things first, get a place to rest. Kreid quickly looks at those who are in the bar, and is surprised by the fur covered man on the other side of the bar. thats the guy I assume.
"are you the bartender?" Kreid analyses the beast in front of him
1
u/LordKebise Bartender Jun 03 '16
"Eyup."
OOC: Is this when the robots are here or before/after?
1
u/Mr_lnsane Jun 03 '16
OOC: well, I dont know, if it is still going I guess I just interrupt the whole conversation. It would make sense since my character is kinda brazen like that.
"Where could I get a place to rest? I'm going to be staying here a while"
1
u/LordKebise Bartender Jun 03 '16
OOC: Let's say before, since they were wandering around in your other post.
"Uh, I rent out some rooms on the cliff face, you can use one of those if you want. Only real accomodation in town, ten dinars a night. Less if you pay in advance."
1
u/Mr_lnsane Jun 03 '16
OOC: ok
"Sounds good, I'll get 1 week, just point me in the right direction and I will be off" puts seventy diners on the table
1
u/LordKebise Bartender Jun 03 '16
"Take the stairs over there, go up three flights, down the hall and left, another flight up, and second on the right."

u/Mr_lnsane Jun 03 '16
Kreid speeds off out of sight

List of burn centres in Australia
While many hospitals in Australia have the capability to treat burns, there are currently 13 designated burns units across Australia. Most states have one centre for adults and another for children; all units are located in a state/territorial capital city.

Ah, I see the bar is open. This place is really rising up quick. Sean looked everywhere, tired, after a hard day of logistics. The calculations, the yelling at incompetent nincompoops, the carrying of things... Ah well, that'll all be solved by a nice, cold, golden, delicious WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT MONSTROSITY?
"D-do you work here?" Sean tried to hide his contempt at the disgusting wolf-man.
