OPEN

[walkingshitshow]

Who: Everyone and anyone
What: Grand Opening/Gathering post fun
Where: Pour Judgement - Jessica's bar
When: 6-14 night

Pour Judgement is officially open!

Sure, Jessica has been at the bar pretty much every day since receiving the key and has been letting people hang out if they had stopped by but now is the grand opening. Everyone who wants to come in will be allowed to do so since the staff is in place and they are full up on everything they need. Drinks are cheaper, the music is playing, and there is even a dance floor if anyone is so inclined.

For the most part, Jessica is milling about just keeping an eye on things. She will be behind the bar if the bartenders need help or she can be found at one of the corner booths nearby. Mostly, she just wants everyone to have a good time. Except for anyone looking to cause trouble. Those people won't have a good time at all.


[ Go ahead, post your people, and tag around! If you want Jessica, I will have a thread for her below. Feel free to find her anywhere in the bar. ]

Higgs frowns thoughtfully. "I don't remember the name of it off the top of my head. Can't remember all the names of books I've read either, though." He shakes his head. "Eh, I'm not worried I can tell you more about it."

He sits up a little, apparently entirely here for talking about movies, especially the way his eyes light up. "Okay, so, one night, this guy is looking through the closet of his family home and comes across a box containing this old radio communication device. Forget what it's called." He does look a little frustrated at that, but he moves on quickly enough.

"He turns it on and finds himself talking to his father thirty years in the past. Thing is, his dad is dead. Died rescuing a teenager in a fire thirty years on the dot tomorrow."

Yes, he is a sci-fi nerd despite what the weird armor might indicate about him being some sort of edgelord. "He realizes this. Warns his dad in the past about the fire, and what went wrong. Fast forward to the big, sad, day, where the guy, his friend, and the guy's boss, who was a friend of his father, are all in a bar. There to celebrate his dad's life.

"Only, things start to change. In the past, the dad realizes his future son had been telling the truth, and the future changes, with him surviving the fire. The son is overcome with emotion upon getting his new set of memories along with keeping his old ones, and drops his glass to the floor, alarming his buddies."

Does he talk too much? Absolutely, but he looks incredibly happy to be talking about fiction.

Gwen listens to the description of the movie. She knows it. She’s watched it plenty of times with her dad and brothers, but with the way Higgs describes it and with how much fun he’s having talking about it, Gwen smiles just a little bit. One elbow rests on the top of the bar and her chin sits in her hand, her fingers tapping against her cheek in time to the music playing.

“I know that movie,”she says once Higgs is done. “My dad and two of my brothers love science fiction movies. That one got a lot of screen time during family movie nights. It’s called ‘Frequency’, right?”

His expression brightens at the response. "Yeah, that's the one!"

Maybe it's different for people from other worlds, where technology hasn't become scare, and any form of media from before fifty or so years ago has almost completely vanished.

"I found an old DVD of it. Impressive movie. I love that time travel shit."

"It's pretty creative, yeah. Have you seen The Butterfly Effect?"

That one was one Gwen greatly enjoyed, the creativity of it and the general story being one she found highly impressive.

Higgs frowns thoughtfully before shaking his head. "Nah, 'fraid not. Physical media is pretty hard to come by." It's a shame, really. All those stories, lost. Though make it's buried on the chiral network somewhere; he's not so sure.

"But I reckon I've got an idea of what the plot would be, with a name like that." Certainly up his alley. "One of those films where time travel only makes things worse, yeah?"
