A/N: this is not canonical, this is a joke chapter. Although details may be canon (like Ambush being blown up),  The experience here is not canon, the characters do not run into The Pub in the actual story, they run into Dupe. It is real in this AU, they just don't go there.  This was also written in a rush sooooooooooooo cry about it.


[Room 66]

It was a normal t-shaped room, the type with the falling bookshelves. Y/N memorized the room number before turning left and approaching the door. Y/N looked confused before turning to the two screeches and pointing at the door.

Y/N: Uhh... What is this?

They pointed to a sign on the door, instead of saying a door number, the words "Pub" were etched on it. Ten and Second looked at each other, then back at Y/N. "I've learnt to stop questioning things at this point, but what the f[]ck." Ten said. Second hovered over to the door, twisting the nob and pushing it open. The room was shaped like the master bedrooms with the large windows and furniture strewn about, except it was a bit larger and instead of it being a bedroom, there was a bar to the left side of the room with the entity known as "Glitch" acting as the bartender, multiple tables and chairs occupied by the entities and a jukebox on the right side of the room playing "Lo-Fi beats to kill and maim travellers to" (It said so on the the front). The trio stared in awe as it appeared the entities did not notice, or seem to care about their sudden appearance.

Second: Hey, Y/N, how old are you? This IS a pub after all.

Y/N: I'm (y/n age), but I don't think they'll mind, they appear to be preoccupied.

Ten: Let's find a seat, there's a vacant spot at the front. Might as well get some answers.

They walk up to the bar and sit down. Well, Y/N does. Ten and Second end up hovering next to him. Glitch is cleaning a glass as he turns his attention to the trio.

Glitch: WELCOME TO THE PUB! WE HAVE DRINKS THAT'LL TURN YOUR STOMACH INTO A [MOSH PIT]!  We also have water, if that's what you want. ANYWAY, WHAT CAN I GET FOR YOU?

He sounded a bit to enthusiastic, but then again it was better than Rush trying to run them over.

Y/N: Well, what's on the menu?

Glitch: WE HAVE EVERYTHING EXCEPT ALCOHOL (WE COULDN'T GET THAT AWFULLY ENOUGH). WE GOT WATER, FLAVOURED MILK, JUICE, CRACK-FILLED COLA, SEWAGE WATER AND ROOT BEER! First time customers get drinks on the house!

Y/N: In that case, I'll just take a (favourite drink).

Ten: I'll take some water, feeling awfully thirsty right now.

Second: I'll have me some strawberry milk, always gets me going, y'know?

Glitch proceeded to summon three glasses before filling all three at the same time with the liquids. They all begin drinking, each finding it tasting like heaven itself had blessed them that day.

Y/N: So, if you don't mind answering this question, why is there a Pub here? And since i'm a traveller, am i in any danger?

[A/N: I don't feel like writing exposition in glitch's accent so i'll just narrate it] Glitch proceeded to explain that The Pub was basically a grace-space, the entities could not harm travellers here so they weren't in any danger. In fact, they become calmer here. In the room sat Seek at the other end of the bar, far from the crew, Rush and Ambush talking at one of the tables, A closet in the corner with one white eye staring out and Eyes were staring at the crew with an emotion that couldn't be comprehended. 

Glitch: HAVE A LOOK AT GOOD OL' EYES OVER THERE, NORMALLY THEY WOULD KILL YOU FOR THAT, BUT HERE...

Y/N turns to look at Eyes, slightly recoiling from the sight of them, but realizing they took no damage. They stare for a bit before looking back at Glitch, and continuing to drink their drink.

Second: Is it.. like.. common for travellers to stumble upon this room? 

Glitch: NOT REALLY, THEY DO COME AND GO RARELY, BUT THE LAST TIME SOMEONE CAME HERE WAS A FEW YEARS AGO. BUUUUUT IT'S NOT LIKE WE KEEP COUNT  SO WE SAY THAT TO MAKE TRAVELLERS FEEL SPECIAL.

Ten: {Finishing his drink before putting the glass down} Interesting... I might have to keep this place in mind. Thank you Mr......

Glitch: PLEASE, CALL ME GLITCH. I DON'T MIND!

Second: {Now just finishing her drink} That was nice! Might also have to keep this place in mind.

Y/N: {Already finished a while back} Yes, well thank you for your time Mr Glitch. Have an excellent... whateveritis.

Glitch: DON'T WORRY, MY SUFFERING IS ENDLESS.

The trio got up with Y/N tipping the bar a hundred coins. They were a natural drawer-checker so they had enough to go around. Too much, it made Mansa Musa look broke in comparison. They headed for the door and left. They did so quickly as they didn't exactly trust Glitch. They closed the door behind them, heading towards the next room.
