Staff Listing:
Richard Gertstein, aka Barkeep, played by MoonTree.
Physical description: Richard is a tall, broad man, about the same build and movability as a barrel. His on-duty uniform is very simple: whatever is comfortable and reasonably clean. After getting most of it singed off one day in the kitchens, he now shaves his head. His skin is leathery and tough, and he seems always to be sporting a five 'o clock shadow, only with a shaved head, the effect is a lot more noticeable. With deepset eyes and a strong jaw, he isn't the kindest looking man ever, but is certainly approachable.
Character summary: Why yes, he'll listen to your stories and give advice. It's expected, by now. But do not try s**t in his bar, lest you bring down his (and Chef's) wrath. Knows a tremendous amount of bawdy songs, but generally keeps to himself unless prodded into the spotlight.
Backstory/origins: After figuring out the rent costs and factoring in business hours, decent wages, and the traveling costs, has made his establishment mobile. Co-owns it with Chef and The Manager. Teleported off one day from a small town in New England and never looked back.
Herbert Joneston, aka Chef, played by MoonTree.
Physical description: Behind all the smoke and steam, it's hard to tell. Looks to be in his forties, with ginger hair combed back from the temples and a large, hooked nose. Always in his chefs whites.
Character description: What with having to learn a great deal of new dishes and cater to all customers needs, he is in a constant state of low, simmering anger. Do not make Chef mad at you. Do not interfere in his kitchen.
Backstory/origins: Rumored to be Richard's half brother, though no one knows the details on this. Comes with the bar.

You'd think these would be self evident, wouldn't you? Still, just in case.
1: Keep to the TOS. Keep to the guild rules. Keep to this RP's rules.
2: This is a character based RP. This means that if character A gets into a fight with character B, those are the characters fighting, not necessarily the people playing them. Barkeep will break up fights that get too elevated, but until that point, things can occur naturally.
3: Respect the other characters, and the people behind them.
4: Use at least fairly decent spelling and grammar.
5: Diffrentiate between IC and OOC text. Barkeep writes normally, I write in ((double brackets)), for instance.
6. While you don't have to submit applications to patronize the Golden Drum, we'd appreciate if your character is feasible within the boundaries of the game.

Or, a short tour around the place.
This establishment prides itself on it's authenticity: it has existed, in one form or another, since the 1950's, Earth time. Made of brick and hardwood, it isn't going to fall apart anytime soon.
The actual floorspace is designed for comfort: small tables in corners, larger ones out in the center, and a set of stools around the bar. There's a TV in one high corner, but good luck finding sports on it: these days, we seem to pick up knitting programs in Zurgish more often.
Though Barkeep prefers a steady diet of Led Zepplin and B.B. King, the jukebox is open to any patron with a dime. In its travels to distant lands, the record player has picked up some strange tunes, and some very familiar ones.
There is a suggestion and feedback box in one corner, made of metal and locked shut, with a slit in the top. It is also known as MoonTree's inbox here on Gaia. Use it.

((....aaaaand go!))
Wiping down the bar, Richard checked the time. They'd be making a stop shortly, and everything looked prepared. The last patrons had made a horrible mess by the door, what with the tentacles and slime and such, but everything washed out with enough elbow grease. And hey, new world, new species, new people, new money to keep the old girl running.
The bar shifted into existence with a strange muffled thump. It was time for the day to begin. Mike is a timid insecure girl.

Richard nodded, producing jugs of water and milk from underneath the bar. "So, how goes life in your neck of the woods?" he asked, pouring the beverages into tall glasses. "Any special news from this place I should know?" Mike is a timid insecure girl.

((For right now, I am not giving out jobs until I feel I can trust the person, know their RP style, etc. In the future, yes, there will be a form to fill out and all that jazz, but since we're just getting off the ground, no.))

Rainra walked in, her bare feet dragging slowly on the floor. Her hands were stuffed in her jean pockets, pushing back the open black jacket she wore over a gray t-shirt. Her strait brown hair was pulled back in a pony tail, reviling her yellow eyes, half open. Lifting her head, she dragged herself over to the counter and sat down on a stool. "What drinks do you have here?" She asked in a raspy, dried out voice, looking strait at Richard. "Anything a half demon like me would be interested in?"
