Draco looked at the two conversating ponies "Hey don't diss my customers," Draco said as he drank his cider slowly. "I deliver their best stock just for their cider you know. Heck that's how I got thise scar," Draco said as he showed a jagged scar  on the side of his neck.

 

"Sorry, mister, didn't mean no harm by it." Lingo pulled out an already-sparkling glass and began polishing it, leaning casually against the bar. "But while we're on the subject, how the heck did'ya get that scar, anyhow? Dragon fight? Did'ya stop a time war between ponykind and machine?"

"Manticore actually," Draco said as he looked into his glass "I had to save my so called special some pony. Turns out she was just using me just to get to my fortune," Draco said as he drank his hard cider. "Trust me some mares are gold diggers but I know afew ponies that aren't but they are taken," he said as he shrugged

Lingo's ears perked. "Fortune, eh? So we have a rich stallion here! Tell me, darling, are you seeing anyone right now?" She batted her eyes and smiled her most demure, I'm-not-just-interested-in-your-because-of-money smile. "My last special somepony happened to be eaten by a radigator a couple of months ago. And despite what some ponies think, I did not push him into that nest."

[dragon4111 914]

"I did have to work for that fortune miss and no I'm not," Draco said as he looked at her. "Radigator?" Draco asked as he looked alittle confused "Never heard of that creature before," Draco said as he checked out Lingo discreetly. "I have about 10 mil in my bank because I have a high risk job. Plus I gave half of it to the hospital then the local orphanage. So all I have now is around 100,000 bits. So yeah I'm not much of a rich pony anymore,"

"I did have to work for that fortune miss and no I'm not," Draco said as he looked at her. "Radigator?" Draco asked as he looked alittle confused "Never heard of that creature before," Draco said as he checked out Lingo discreetly. "I have about 10 mil in my bank because I have a high risk job. Plus I gave half of it to the hospital then the local orphanage. So all I have now is around 100,000 bits. So yeah I'm not much of a rich pony anymore,"

 

Lingo had to keep herself from vaulting the counter and embracing the suddenly extremely attractive pegasus. "That's about ninety-nine thousand more bits than I've ever seen in my life! And that is so generous of you to donate your hard-earned money!" She squealed in delight. "Oh! Maybe you could finance my next radigator hunting trip? They're alligators that grew really, really cranky because of a bit of radioactive fallout. I would be-" She tossed her hair over her shoulder and batted her eyes, "ever so grateful!" 

[dragon4111 914]

"For an atrractive mare like you sure why not," Draco said as he sighed "Always for a pretty face," Draco muttered slightly "How much do you need miss?" Draco asked as he pulled out a large back of bits. "I'll be fine I can usually scavange in the wild anyway I'm a worldly pony more so than the ordinary pony from my universe plus I'm able to sell afew furs,"

"Just remember Lingo, if any of them throw up, start losing body parts, or any other number of horribly bad things, you have to clean it up." Jeeves said, shaking his head at Lingo trying to get the other two to drink up some of her radigator drink. She must have more than she knows what to do with  he thought to himself as he resumed washing a glass.

 

some reason or other, Pinkie Pie seemed to have vanished from the bar, or at least the room, who knew what trouble she may be up to elsewhere. Thankfully all of them followed the rule that only one Pinkie Pie could be inside the bar at a time.

 

Just as he was setting the cleaned glass down, a strange and shabby looking pale grey earth pony came behind the counter and whispered something to Jeeves. Once the pony finished, Jeeves said "Thank you Mister Scrubby, I'll take care of it."

 

"Lingo, watch the bar will you? It seems some giant rats managed to wander into the Brewery Room again, and I need to go clear them out. I swear, next time it better be giant frogs, or I'll hunt down all the giant rats in the multiverse."

 

OOC: If a player is interested, this is a chance for combat and to explore the Bar. If not, continue conversing or otherwise hang out. Try not to end up causing too much chaos incase anyone decides to do something interesting. you might draw out Discord

 

This is also a friendly reminder that the other people who said they were interested should post soon. While their is no requirement in regards to how often you post, more players will make this more interesting.

Lingo sighed. "Actually, I think a better use for that money would be hiring Jeeves an exterminator full-time. And anyways! I couldn't possibly take your money...I'd feel cheap! No, no, you just hold onto those bits. Use 'em to buy a round! I'm sure the other patrons wouldn't mind that." 

[dragon4111 914]

"Take it miss I can always work up more since I do exotic deliveries. Plus I deliver things to Celestia and Luna too," Draco said as he handed her the bag. "Plus if I'm correct you could buy the best gear around with this much money," Draco says as he winked at the mare. "I don't mind I like to help out pretty mares like you,"

[Standard User 2,127]

"Ooh, well aren't you a charmer!" Lingo slid the bag of bits across the counter and hid it away underneath the bar. "But it'll take more than a sack of bits and some smooth talking to get a taste of Cider, if you know what I mean." Lingo flipped her hair with a laugh and went down the counter to serve more drinks.

[dragon4111 914]

Draco chuckle as he said "Surely a pretty pony like you has a special some-pony," He looked at her mischiviously as he planned something of a prank. "A beautiful earth pony like you must have alot of stallion knocking t her door every night just to ask you out," Draco says as he flirted with her.

[Standard User 2,127]

"Well, I wouldn't say a lot...but I guess I do meet a lot of different faces working the bar, and more than a few have asked to be my special somepony. Of course, quite a few of them were drunk off their plots, but that is beside the point. Maybe I'm just one of those mares destined to spend her life alone."

[dragon4111 914]

"I wouldn't say that," Draco said as he placed three bits onto the table "Zap apple Cider please plus why do you say that miss?" Draco asked as he looked at her "I'm just teasing you but I can see your having a hard time. I'll listen to your story since you listened to mine,"

[Standard User 2,127]

"Well, there really isn't much to tell..." Lingo picked up another glass from under the bar and began polishing it. "Back in my universe, I was just the barmaid - nothing special there. Then I found the rift that opened up into here, and for a while things were pretty much the same. Stallions and other aliens would come and go, some chatty and some not, but all were uninterested in anything long-term. But as time went on I noticed who the regulars were, and I learned my way around stallions from other universes, and...I dunno. I became popular. Ha! Wish my mom could see me now! She said I'd never get a stallion to look at me." Lingo laughed maliciously and set the cup down with a thud. "Not that any of them ever stay around the Tavern...they always end up going home." 

[dragon4111 914]

"Then why not come with me when I go home?" Draco offered "I can offer you a job 190 an hour. You can be my room mate," Draco said as he slowly drank the Zap apple ider "Oh that's strong," Draco said as he looked at the mare. "Only if you want to plus I can always come back here and visit you you know,"

A stallion enters the bar. He finds an empty seat, and sits down. Unsure of if he even wants to drink, he pulls out a picture of something. After looking deeply into this picture, he sighs, and crumbles the picture up angrily, then puts it in the pocket of his vest. He looks at the bartender and starts to raise his hoof as if to order a drink, but quickly changes his mind, and puts his head in his hooves.

"My first love will always be the Tavern, doll. I'm staying right here!" Lingo beamed. "Now, if you'll excuse me, we have a newcomer..."

Lingo placed a mug of cider on the table this oh-so-mysterious stallion was sitting at and plops herself down in the chair across from him. "Hey, I know that face. Forlorn love interest? Deceased relative? Lose your job? World get blown up by balefire bombs? C'mon, sweety, you can tell ole' Lingo here!"

[Pripyat Pony 2,608]

Pripy was intrigued by the newcomer and went over to where the stallion was sitting. "New here?" she asked. "Believe me, whatever's bothering you, it gets better when you talk about it."

 

Clover sipped her cider and looked about the bar. She noticed that Lingo and Draco seemed to be getting on well. Clover had been too busy to find love for herself. First she was too busy with her studies, now she was too busy with her job of inventing spells to even think about settling down. She felt a little jealous.

Draco looked over to Clover and motioned her over. To him she looked lonely and he knew that feeling all too well. So with one of his whooves her motioned for her to come along over. She was definitely a cute unicorn. He smiled at her as he looked at her. "Why not come on over here miss unicorn?" Draco asked.

Solidus raises his head, looking first at the cider, then Lingo, then Pripy. Feeling a little more comfortable with people around, he decides to take out the picture once again. He puts it on the table, sighs, and pushes it away from him.

 

"Honestly, I never expected it to end. That's my special somepony..." as he points to the picture. "Or..used to be, anyway. I'm nothing to her now."

 

He looks at the picture once more. His eyes seem to have a...blank stare, as if everything had turned gray. As if everything he once knew had been one huge mistake. He turns towards Lingo.

 

"You ever feel like you're dead, but nobody told you?"

[Pripyat Pony 2,608]

Pushing away her envious feelings, Clover smiled at Draco. "Sure," she said, trotting over to where the pegasus pony was. "I don't normally socialise much; too busy with my work. I do try to spare time for my friends, of course, but recently I've been working very hard on a new spellbook."

 

Pripy looked sympathetic at what Solidus said. She knew that feeling all too well; it was how she had felt, looking out on the sadly polluted landscapes of her home world. Sometimes, before she had entered the alternative Equestria, she had wondered if she actually was dead and had died with her world.

Lingo reached over and patted the poor stallion's hoof. "Oh, you poor little thing. I can't say I've felt like you do, but I have seen enough broken hearts pass through here to get an idea. Here, take this. First drink on me." She pushed the cider mug a little closer to the poor pony and looked at him with sad eyes. "Care to talk about it?"

[Pripyat Pony 2,608]

Pripy smiled at the newcomer. "Yeah, there's quite a few of those portals around," she said to the alicorn. "I'm trying to map them so that I can find my way thru them comfortably. Do you come from a different Equestria, too? My Equestria is sadly polluted, but I'm working with Clover at the moment to try and find a solution. I come here for a break."

[dragon4111 914]

Pushing away her envious feelings, Clover smiled at Draco. "Sure," she said, trotting over to where the pegasus pony was. "I don't normally socialise much; too busy with my work. I do try to spare time for my friends, of course, but recently I've been working very hard on a new spellbook."

"Hmm you are very pretty miss," Draco complimented "So what is you job if I may be so bold for asking?" Draco asked the unicorn as he looked her over. He waited for her to answer him. "Oh how rude of me my name is Draco O'mally what is your name miss unicorn?" Draco asked.

[Pripyat Pony 2,608]

"My name's Clover," the unicorn pony replied. "And my job is to invent new spells and write spellbooks. I'm commissioned by the Princesses to do so. After I left school, I went to Canterlot to study magic; my special talent manifested as a skill to invent and carry out spells, so it was the logical thing to do."
