"It's a strange sort of society our universe has turned into. An abundance of dangerous creatures that have become too prolific, powerful, or in some cases just a nuisance, all deserted in this one universe from the many they came from. From mutating bio-experiments gone wrong, to legendary immortals, vicious animals and malfunctioning robots. And us too I suppose; how better to deal with unkillable heroes when they perhaps start to become a bit of a nuisance themselves. Running out of worthy foes can leave some very bored immortals, and heroes like to look for trouble even if they end up creating it themselves..."
The traveler leant an elbow on the bar and lazily tipped his nearly empty glass to stare at the contents thoughtfully.
"Bob, you're narrating again."
"Ah! Uh sorry Mack-"
"Harry"
"Another refill on my tab?"
"Maybe you've had enough for today. You didn't finish your Melting SunDie from the SnackBar?"
"It kept biting back."
"Ah, that sucks. Well it is a special menu item, customers do love that chocolaty-syrup taste of victory. Stick to the bronze meal deal if you cant manage next time?"
"Will do."
Both barman and gallant barfly looked up as the doorway filled with rustling foliage. Gradually the leaves took up more room as one root and then three others stepped into the building.
"You know the rules, no pets." The barman turned and pointed at the sign above the bar, wondering which customer the bat hanging off it belonged to.
Sliding back the glass, Bob the hero rose and pushed back the stool to turn toward the door. "I dont think he can read. Or speak. Screams a lot mostly, but a great help in a fight", he said, as the rest of the Ents canopy emerged past the door-frame, dropping a few peaches that rolled across the floor in the process.
Harry didn't protest further, and set to stacking glasses on the shelves as the creature creaked to the front next to its master, making for a rather impressive change to the decor as the barroom's new centerpiece.
"Do you ever miss -"
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
"..."
"-your cute little pets you used to carry around?"
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"
"Sometimes", nodded Bob.
