is the place that doubles as an arcade seriously the only bar in town? where do you people go to get plastered and make bad decisions?

does it suck?

[cantilevers]

It's another option, but yes, it sucks.

Neither is worth the time and space for inebriated fun. I wouldn't even say either is the kind of place anyone goes for questionable life decisions. Might want to consider the age old 'house party' option.

[cactusy]

house parties?

don't get me wrong, my friends are great. but they're all really lame. most of them wear suits 24/7

[cantilevers]

Sounds like you need subset a less stiff and formal group of friends.

If you find a place, I can bartend it. Don't have my own establishment here, but there are options for private bad decisions at either place I expect.

[cactusy]

I think I'm just used to a specific kind of vibe that isn't on off here

I used to globetrot a lot. you could find bars and clubs the world over, even in places where you'd least expect them. figures I'd land in the one place that's never heard of a night of anonymous fun

[cantilevers]

You want the vibe, you're probably having to manufacture it here.

Wouldn't know. I never left my city, but it sounds fancy. Also, depends on your fun; there are always people and places willing to accommodate.

Unfortunately, there are an awful lot of serious folk around here.

[cactusy]

I've noticed. that's great on a mission, but sucks when we're stuck here spinning our wheels

thing is, if I have to spell out what I'm looking for, that automatically means the person I'm talking to isn't game. life is funny like that.

[cantilevers]

Communication is the key. If you want regret, you usually have to seek out a particular person or place from my experience.

[cactusy]

I'm trying to seek out a place. coming up empty, though.

I guess it really isn't too surprising in a low-population place

[cantilevers]

I doubt someone would be hard to convince to sent up something seedy in a basement.

[cactusy]

I'm actually starting to think this was a lost cause from the beginning

[cantilevers]

Probably for the short term, yeah. Long-term, it could be doable.

[cactusy]

but who's going to take one for the team and teach these weirdos the ins and outs of clubbing?

[cantilevers]

Might require a group effort. I was quite the clubber when my responsibilities were exactly two: work and don't die.

[Which, oh shit, he was back to that stage all over again!]

[cactusy]

really? you might even be better at it than me.

[This is less flattery, and more an attempt to weasel her way out of any teaching duties; sorry, bro.]

[cantilevers]

Oh probably. I do need someone's disapprovals if I decide to set it up though. You willing to be a candidate?

[cactusy]

depends on what specifically I'd be signing up for

[cantilevers]

Clucking your tongue in disapproval, telling me off, maybe gentle cussing?

[cactusy]

okay, but what would I be disapproving?

[cantilevers]

Anything you want. I give you license to disapprove, if that's your thing.

[cactusy]

oh

ok

sounds like a plan

in the meantime, want to meet up and tell me about the work you did that made "don't die" a big priority?

[cantilevers]

Sure, name the time and place and I'll check my empty schedule so I can work out an accommodation. I doubt it's as interesting a tale as I make it out to be.

[cactusy]

how about that pub, even it sucks

I can be there in an hour

[cantilevers]

Harry's you mean? I can be there in an hour.

Brief physical description so I'm not harassing the wrong person?

These things have video.
