The lights were dim, the air full of smoke, and the everlasting scent of musky sweat and spilt drinks permeating the air. There weren't quite so many bars like this left around, wood panel flooring, old incadescent light bulbs, simple furniture, alcohol with pronounceable names. Far from that sleek looking, LED lit, and stripperific, nightclub bullshit that a lot of places seemed to so often find themselves leaning towards. No, this was a classy place, a pub, a saloon even, a place a man could go to relax with a stiff drink and a smoke; with the exception of your occasional fan favourite, the raging drunkard whose appearance seemed a rather of when than where.
For the most part though, this bar was perhaps the moreso unpopular one. Though it contained a number of people, five or ten who found themselves sitting among the booths on the wall watching whatever boxing or other sport was being displayed upon the singular large display on the wall, it was for the most part a smaller and emptier space occupied by a singular bar alongside a few waitresses and a single barkeeper. A small kitchen was in the back but nobody really cared about those guys to begin with. It wasn't like the underpaid fry cook ever did anything fun to begin with.
Of course, in every story there was a protagonist, perhaps even two or more.
Seated at the bar sat a simplistically dressed fellow. A pair of white and black sports shoes, blue denym pants, a simple cotton grey turtleneck shirt, for the most part though he was covered by a large (Perhaps oversized even) brown leather trench coat that left a pair of tail ends to dangle down behind him. The man himself was perhaps a bit more remarkable in appearance. He was an older looking man perhaps in his late eighties or even nineties, a medium length head of almost pure white hair with a few splotches of the Brown it had once been years ago seemed to accentuate that point. The left side of his face was adorned with simple scar than ran through a now blinded eye.
Blowing a simple puff of smoke from between his lips, his eyes idly glancing up to the screen above, then back down to the underside of his wrist where a simple metallic watch sat. 2 A.M, or at least the rough equivalent on this planet. "It's been quite the long night..." He murmured to himself, offering another puff of smoke from between his lips, the barkeeper who stood off to the side, cleaning glasses offering a simple nod in response. He turned his head up. "Think I could get some corellian Whiskey while you're here?" He asked, the barkeeper shifting from cleaning out glasses to grabbing things from below the counter. "Thanks."
