The Dos & Don'ts of Bar-Fights
1.Do: fight dirty. Really, really dirty.
2.Do: get drunk and act stupid. Bars are supposed to be like that.
3.Do: enjoy yourself. It's perfectly fine to like fighting.
4.Do: take it outside if you want to brawl.
+++
1.Don't: get too carried away. It's obnoxious after a while.
2.Don't: disturb uninvolved patrons or destroy bar property.
3.Don't: bother the staff.
- Good Fight: “Lucy turns to see who threw their drink at her, while she was quietly minding her own business. She is infuriated when she sees the nonchalant smirk of the pea-brain who had the nerve to douse her with beer. She smacks her attacker across the face with a dead frog named Mimi. A horrid battle ensues.”
This is an acceptable fight. First of all, by spilling his drink on her, Lucy’s attacker invited but did not force her to fight him. Even though it is spontaneous and weird, it does not necessarily disturb or harm anyone and is therefore a good form of bar-fighting.
- Bad Fight: “Mike drinks too much of his Green Faerie and begins to hallucinate. He thinks Steve is an evil ogre and claws him to death.”
This is a very bad way to start a fight. Though it may not seem that different from the “Good Fight”, Mike has broken the rules. He not only did something obnoxious like use hallucinations to start a fight, but he also clawed the poor, unsuspecting Steve-character to death. That is very rude. Politeness is a virtue even in bar-fighting. This fight would receive a warning from me for poor post quality.

Thank you for reading. I sincerely apologize for this incredibly long intro to the roleplay. I just like to be thorough.

Advanced Setting information
- Merlot's Bar is an almost insignificant building settled deep within the city. The windows are dusty, the bricks are worn, and an acid-green neon sign displays the bar's name. It's a bit bigger than most bars in both height and size to accommodate it’s unusually large guests.
Double doors lead the way into the dimly-lit interior that often feels stuffy and old. It is night time and crowded. We are in late October and there are two days until the full moon. Patrons entering and leaving the bar can see their breath in the chilly night air. Light snow is falling, but it melts before collecting on the ground.
