Welcome, one and all, to the Tenderfoot Tavern!
The only quantum-dimensional nexus point in the multiverse that serves food and drinks! While walking down a street you've walked down hundreds of times before, you notice an extremely aged and heavy-looking wooden door in what you could have sworn was a solid wall just last night. Glancing at the people nearby, you see that no one else has noticed anything strange. It's strange appearance is confusing, and you feel the urge to investigate the anomaly. With a strong push, the heavy door slowly groans open and reveals nothing but darkness behind it. You step inside, and tendrils of fear begin to clench your stomach as the world behind you vanishes, leaving you in the dark. Before you have a chance to ponder your situation, the darkness begins to melt away, leaving you standing just inside the entrance of a rustic-looking tavern. Looking around you see several small tables and a long bar lined with stools. The bartender catches your eye as you glace over, waving disinterestedly before returning to what he was doing. The place looks impressively well maintained and updated for it's apparent age, all the lights seem to be electric, and a jukebox plays soft pleasant music in the corner. Forgetting the alarming experience of how you arrived at this place, you take another step inside to explore, the door silently closing behind you of it's own accord.

Although you're welcome to walk in and do as you please, I highly encourage you to fill out a profile and mail it to me. As I said above, do try to make your character unique, a quick look though the already posted profiles should help you make something distinct from everyone else. Only people with profiles are eligible for employment. All Images should be 200x200, if you're not sure how to re-size or crop feel free to ask for assistance, I'm happy to help. My personal preference is anime pictures, but if you have an extreme distaste for them live-action is acceptable too.

In the end, she wasn’t the woman that I had always wished she was, even convinced myself that she was. But didn’t find all of that out until she was dead and I was framed for her murder. But, with the help of my two brothers-in-law, that is all behind me. Now I work with them at their detective and securities firm. More often than not I run basic surveillance and body guard gigs. We all spend a lot of time at the boxing gym down the street when we aren’t with our family. So I lost my wife, but I gained a huge family. My two kids are still dealing with the pain of what happened but their uncles are a big help to feel the space in our lives.

Bob sat behind the bar restlessly cleaning a glass with a damp towel. The tavern was dead today, he felt as though he would go mad from boredom if at least one person didn't show up soon. With a sigh he took the now clean glass and poured himself a shot to pass the time.

Bobby walked further into the bar and looked around quietly, taking in everything with a very confused look on her face. "How in all that is blessed did I get here?" Bouncing her eyes from the odd light fixtures to the bar she gave a bright smile to the man standing there and tipped her head. "Well hi!" Came her cheery hello as she flopped onto a stool across from him.
((better? I'll email you my profile once I get a picture....))

Downing the shot he poured for himself, Bob quickly turned his attention to the new patron. "Hey, welcome to the Tenderfoot Tavern. Can I get you something to drink?"
((Yeah it's fine, just send the pic whenever. 3nodding ))

Wrinkling her nose at the thought of alcohol, Bobby shook her head letting her straight blond hair fall around her shoulders in a platinum wave. "Not unless you have orange soda." She grinned and spun her stool around in a slow circle taking in the whole place. "I've never seen a tavern like this..."

"We've got everything you can think of here, we're not your run of the mill establishment." The thought of not having something was enough to make him chuckle. "One orange soda coming right up." Taking out a glass he moved to one of the various fountains, quickly filling it with ice and orange soda. Popping in a straw he walked back and set it in front of her. "Enjoy."

Looking on with glee Bobby clapped her hands in excitement and pulled the glass toward her. Half the orange liquid was gone before she sat up and grinned contently, giving the bartender a thumbs up. "How much I owe ya?" She drawled pulling out a handful of gold, silver, and copper coins stamped with a symbol of a tree on once side and an airship on the other.

Bob quickly gestured to stop her. "No no, it's on the house, everything is really." Lowering his hand he put on a smile. "We get a lot of varying...people...each with unique monetary systems, collecting money would just be a hassle." With a nod he continued. "You seem like a nice girl, just be sure not to go overboard." Collecting his glass from earlier he took it over to the sink for washing.

"Oh, I see.... Well thanks you for the soda then!" Her grin was big as she scooped up her money and pushed it back into her pockets. "I'm Bobby Astar by the way." The chair spun around again as she pushed off from the bar her head swinging to look about once more.

"That's a coincidence, everyone calls me Bob. I can't remember when it started, but it's easy to remember and as good as any name I suppose." Taking the now clean glass he put it back in it's place. "So, can I get you anything else?"
