54. ...the bar is huge, with many rooms, and filled with mirrors.

Oct 2013

The trio sits down at the bar and quickly knocks back 10 boilermakers apiece, and gets shitface drunk. The bartender goes out back for a smoke, and the firebagger suddenly remembers that they have to get back to the Capitol for vote. The Emoprog lays some money on the table, and they get up to leave, but discover that they are so drunk that they can't find the door where they came in.

So they decide to split up and look for an exit, and meet back at the bar in five minutes. Five minutes pass, and they meet back at the bar.

Firebagger says, "I found a door, but it leads to an alley that has ten foot walls on each end, and there's no ladders, so we can't get out that way."

Emoprog says, "I found a door, too, but it leads to a staircase that goes to the basement, and the door out of the basement is locked, so we can't go that way"

Then Emotarian says, "Well, I didn't even find a door. There has to be a third way!"

Whereupon the three of them look at each other in horror, spit on the floor in unison, and proceed to sit back down at the bar and order another round as the bartender returns from her smoke break.
