[Oh hey, check it out. The Prince finally found his bracelet again. Kind of serves him right for having been tossing it in the air while sitting on a rooftop. Now that he has it again, he can finally go back to doing his true calling in life. Annoying people with banter.]

That's one thing I'll give the desert. No gutters for you to lose your magic talking jewelry in. The lack of ice helps too. Now let me ask you all, where's the best place to get a drink in this place? Wait, ignore that. I've tried Sky's Prize, but its a little too upscale for my taste. What's the worst place to get a drink in this place? A man's gotta find a place with a little atmosphere. Rustic. Dirty. The kind of place you don't feel safe going into without a few knives hidden away.

[Don't feel safe? Oi ... ]

Hel might fit that description, Ojisan! I haven't been to any bars, but it's -- well, it's got atmosphere for sure!

[nobackstories.livejournal.com]

I'm thinking more earthy and less spooky.

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

Do you know any other district where the snowman handed out weapons?

[nobackstories.livejournal.com]

I won't lie to you, kid. I didn't like the snow people. I kept to myself during all that. Seemed like a good time to stay indoors.

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

I see.

[nobackstories.livejournal.com]

You know, right about now I'm asking myself why I'm talking about bars with a kid.

[There were many replies that Shinichi would like to make -- but none appropriate for mild mannered, polite Edogawa Conan.]

Sorry, Ojisan! I won't interrupt your important discussion.

[nobackstories.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't call it important, kid. Just somewhere I can feel at home.

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

You did say knives.

If you're set against Hel, the area around the Arena might be better for what you're looking for?

[nobackstories.livejournal.com]

Now that sounds promising. I'll give it a look later. Get a feel for how long it takes to get a man to take a swing at me.

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

Good luck!

Feeling restless already?

[this is a smile, not a smirk. SHOCK.]

Haven't checked yet myself but let us know once ya do. Any idea what the drinking age is in this town?

[innheritance.livejournal.com]

Why would anyone want to go somewhere so dangerous in the first place?

[ It seems pretty reckless to her to go to a bar in the first place, but one where you have to bring your own weapons? ]

[metaleyedgirl.livejournal.com]

Nope, sorry. I haven't seen a dive bar here yet!

[manskirt.livejournal.com]

You sound exactly like you're describing The Hanged Man. Once you've had a drink there--or...watched your friends drink there--nowhere else seems to satisfy.

[ a pause. ]

Too bad it isn't here.

[nobackstories.livejournal.com]

[Gasp, not a smirk? Say it ain't so!]

I was feeling pretty restless twelve days ago. Now I can just make sure everyone hears about it.

[nobackstories.livejournal.com]

Haven't had a reason to ask. Nobody has had much reason to turn me down.

[nobackstories.livejournal.com]

It's all about the atmosphere. It's the kind of place a man can be a man.

[nobackstories.livejournal.com]

Something tell me you aren't looking that hard.

[nobackstories.livejournal.com]

Now you tell me it's not here. You had me all worked up for nothing.

[manskirt.livejournal.com]

Well, if you like teeth used as decor and as a prime ingredient in the whiskey, then I suppose it was cruel of me to bring it up.

[metaleyedgirl.livejournal.com]

I didn't know I needed to be! [She giggles]

[nobackstories.livejournal.com]

I can appreciate the kind of dedication that goes into keeping up a theme like that.

[nobackstories.livejournal.com]

You don't strike me as much of a drinker. So I guess not.
