 mercury 90+ y/o cis male vigilante time based ability rank ss bar owner 'entrepreneur' Have an 'odd' job you need completed, take a visit to Arkham, if you dare. There's a bar there, the Wandering Star. Enter and take a seat at the stool by the right corner and order a Black Velvet. The drink would come, given by a young man with fierce red eyes and a wry smile. ' Welcome to the Wandering Star.
Is there anything I could help you with? ' The Wandering Star is owned by a vigilante named Mercury. He's not the most intimidating bar owner, not by appearances alone. It's actually quite easy to mistaken for him for another one of the workers with how he dresses, but the impression he leaves after meeting him seems to give off the idea he knows more than he says. Officially, the Wandering Star is open to superheroes, vigilantes, and villains alike, although the former is rarely ever seen. If it wasn't for his rank, the bar wouldn't have lasted as long as it has, although there are the occasional troublemakers. He's recently expanded, opening another little bar (Supernova) in the edges of Old Town. For a very good trade, he does pick up other jobs: random, (often) little things, to assist his customers. relationship ideas positive confidante, family, good friends, old friends, inner circle, enemy turned friend, secret friends, i've got your back, friends with benefits, partners in crime, keeps me/you out of trouble, outer circle, friend of a friend neutral same group, acquaintance, just met, good influence on, bad influence on, mutual trust, one-sided trust, mutual respect, one-sided respect, mutual protection, one-sided protection, emotional support, mentor, student, coworker, neighbor, want to know, share interests, professional contact, fake negative rivalry, grudge, annoyance, jealousy, mutual hate, one-sided hate, mutual dislike, one-sided dislike, abusive, love/hate, natural enemies, friend turned enemy, betrayal, one-sided fear, by association, envy, indifference

MERCURY,
So like I think Hades and Mercury can be friends. Hades is attracted to poweful beings and he would be very interested in Mercury's power. Although there might be some bitterness because he holds the same power as his father and he HATES his father but other than that they could make some good friends. Yah know have a cup of coffee and talk about "hypothetically: ending the world. It be cool to like show off their powers and see what the other can do. If Hades likes him enough he can even take Mercury to see some dead people in the underworld or whatever. Gucci?"

@coal , Now that's something he could get behind, as long as it's all hypothetical. The idea of cleaning up the mess afterwards would be one of the reasons why he wouldn't. But he's cool with showing off. He's fond of rewinding time of rotting food and taking a bite as a gimmick. Mercury wouldn't be offended at the least, if Hades had a touch of dislike for his ability, although he's absolutely sure he's not nearly as strong as Hades' father (not that it's something he would ever say).
Funny enough, while I imagine him to be very interested at the idea of traveling to the underworld, I can't imagine him being too impressed with dead people there. He'd be more someone who'd point out all the people he'd known before. Like "oh, it's my (insert past relation here) so they do belong here" kind of thing. It'd actually be pretty funny how casual it'd sound. |

MERCURY,
yah no for sure definitely just hypothetical. I think it would just be an interesting conversation to have especially if it is like a casual conversation and laughing at a possible apocalypse yah know? I was thinking that Hades could just walk into his bar and we can just start as simple as that? Although if you dont mind starting it that would be great that way I dont ruin the image of the bar setting you have up.

Thalia probably hangs out in his bar if he'll let her, mostly to keep an eye on things. She is a snitch. I imagine she gets banned from the bar at some point for snitching, but maybe not?
Aegis is a Winter Soldier expy and also 90+ years old. Once he's un-brainwashed and on the run from the cult that did it to him they should bond, y/n? They can talk ab the modern era. I see you posted to Fidelia about Mercury maybe having known her before, if I'm remembering right? If that ends up being true I imagine he knew Ezra before he was Aegis as well, given that he was married to Fidelia.

VALKYRIE , Maybe she's banned in current time? She could be the poster child of what not to do in his bar. Or would have Mercury occupied 99% of the time. Either is fine.
As for Aegis, that sounds gr8. And, yes, I was suggesting that. They can talk about all the crazy shit from this modern era. He'd have been more of a pencil pusher at that time, who lowkey happened to have powers of his own. They could talk about old times and skip over the whole brainwashing thing. Maybe they could end up converting part of his bar into an actual hideout and push Mercury into actually doing more Vigilante stuff ....
NOVA , Random is good! Anyways, he's welcomed to try, but seeing how he's been threading so far, it seems like he might be an aromantic (and possibly asexual) character. Friends are always welcomed. Regulars are even better. Honestly speaking, if he wanted to make more of a splash in the city to get his name out there, Mercury might be more open to teaching him how the city works or giving him a few missions to do. Or we can have that be a thing in the past and they could have an off-beat mentor/student like relationship.

MERCURYawesome. the aegis stuff sounds like it'll have to be put off for a bit (unless you'd like to have at thread where mercury recognizes him as he is now), but maybe one of us could start a thalia/mercury thread at some point? she probably tries to fight all the supervillains she sees at the bar so...

So Dazzle tends to stick around other people with powers, so I can see a kind of Boss/worker relationship going on between them. Like they're friends, but she also works for him in a way. Like she could work at his bar, and do odd jobs for him too.

VALKYRIE , Aegis + Mercury ; I can wait. nbd.
Valkyrie + Mercury ; All these 'superheroes' attacking the 'villains,' are you sure it's not the other way around? They're just drinking, man! But yeah, sure! I can start. Past thread, yeah? We can definitely do something in the future too, maybe he gets involved with a mission she's on?
Dazzle , One day, she might end up being his unofficial adopted child. One day. He'd always kinda look on her like a child, but he would guide her and stuff. Shall we start from the beginning or dive in the middle of it all? |

MERCURY, that sounds pretty perfect to me. As for when we'd start, It'd probably be easiest to pick them up right in the middle of it. It's a pretty good plan. They can do "buisness" deals and stuff, should be fun. |
