One day, you open a door. Any door. Instead of what you would expect on the other side (a bedroom, a hallway, a store...), there's a bar. It's pretty nice. There's people there. Everything is free. You can hang out as long as you want, and go back whenever you're ready. Or go somewhere else. The bar doesn't care. The bar is just here.
Once you're through the door, there's not a whole lot to figure out. It all seems pretty self explanatory at a glance.
At one end of the room there's a bar. Most of the open space has tables, with booths along the walls. There are other people around, sitting and drinking and talking. Maybe there's a game of darts going on, or pool, or an arcade in the back. Or just stand and gawk and the mystery of time and space around you, that's cool, too.
You came in on a fun day, for a certain definition of fun.
When you enter the bar, you've got about thirty seconds to get up on a chair or table (or the bar itself, if you can jump real good) because the floor is lava. From everything you can see, it's actual lava. Feels real hot in here and seems not good to touch!
How long can you avoid the perils of a lava floor?
If you do happen to fall, you don't die, but it does sting like hell and you do disappear after a couple seconds. Where you end up is a mystery. (Meaning it's your choice -- maybe you end up in a barn somewhere on the grounds, or a room upstairs with somebody else who fell, or something. Maybe you end up back home, who knows.)
The bar is here to help you. Is the bar a dating service? No, but it has a sense of humor.
As soon as you enter, you are suddenly saddled with a sandwich board listing all the pros and cons of dating you. Or, if you aren't into dating, just being your friend or trusted associate. Are you good in bed but have terrible commitment issues? Cool hair but cursed by a bog witch? You don't get to decide what's on there, and you can't scratch anything out no matter how incriminating it may be.
Enjoy!
Being that it is inanimate, the bar never sleeps.
Unfortunate that you can't sleep, either, but at least you've to a place with other wide awake people to keep you company! Whatever it is that's keeping you up tonight, maybe you can talk it out with your fellow insomniacs.
Or, if you're just hungry or in need of a warm glass of milk to help encourage your brain to enter shutdown mode, the bar is happy to provide. Or would be, if it felt things.
Anything you want, y'all. Just please don't blow things up on the first day.
