'Edge of the World' Multiverse Tavern RP [Multiverse Shenanigans with Booze]

Zzubus turned towards Rebecca (@shagranoz) as she asked for 'witch work'. It was quite early in the rush-hour for people to be wanting a way to pay their bills. But, nevertheless, the demon responded with, "Sure, last time I remember you were talking about brewing up a kind of liquid to raise animals, mind stocking the tavern with liquor like that?".

"if I'm dead then what is this place", the boy (@Blueflame) to Zzubus's right asked.

"The Edge of the World afterlife tavern. You died and the death carriages brought you here.", the archdemon simply answered. Though the mercenary might want more of an elaborated explanation, truly, there wasn't much else. It was a simple plot twist to the ultimate reality of the afterlife. Again, the tavern's magic at work.
Shortly after Max's question was answered a downcast, hooded man (@ArenaSnow) approached the bar in solemn silence. He sat quietly, breathed quietly, and acted quietly. Right off the bat Zzubus knew this was a demon in disguise, the indifference to afterlife aswell as the empty look in his eyes gave it away immediately. At least to the highest archdemon such as Zzubus, this lower demon wasn't a great hider. The demonic bartender handed the cloaked man drink and meal menus before returning to his conversations. Demons were not uncommon in the slightest at the tavern, it was just peculiar this one thought it wise to hide in plain sight.

Zzubus chuckled at Czurem's (@medalliah) frenzied attempt to dismiss the demon's innocent comment. She was quite the chatterbox and got flustered easily, indeed. The wine didn't help this habit either, but, again, the archdemon never saw any problem with alcohol and the dragon teen. "Heh, sure", Zzubus told Czurem before taking a sip from his unnaturally strong drink.
Kric came back into the bar area in under a second after being put down by Vakim. The archdemon snickered at the mention of 'Zzuby' before answering the pompous thief's question. "Lots of mass deaths. I believe an old god awoke in the last hour, while a crusade against beast-tamers just concluded a minute ago". If worse came to worse and Kric became a real problem, Zzubus could simply wake up his dead master in the inn to control him, so it was no need stressing over how to remove him currently.

Out of the edge of the demon's eye he saw two patrons seemingly mesmerized by the tavern and it's workings. A short, gypsy-like girl (@RenaKin90) standing in the doorway and a dark mercenary (@Blueflame) near the carriages. Tapping one of his hirelings on the head, Zzubus told the small imp to go and bring the two inside so the tide of patrons wouldn't be blocked too badly.
The small, fat yellow body of the hireling wobbled outside and enthusiastically started pushing both the girl and man inside. Many of the main tables in the tavern had already been occupied, so the couple were brought to the stools lining the bar-table, next to David and the demonic bartender himself. "Hello, and welcome to the Edge Tavern. If you have any questions, ask away.", Zzubus said before passing the two drink and meal menus.

@Blueflame The death carriages are an explanation just from a lore perspective: you can introduce your character into the roleplay anytime you want.

The imp (@Cherrywitch) had a lot of spunk, Zzubus could give him that. Calling for one of his hirelings to write up a tab for Kric, the Archdemon looked up to see the silky-voiced Vakim (@Zi) speaking about his excitement for the new wave of patrons. "Well, if you want to converse with them, do so. I've told you that. If you're just going to stay up in the rafters like a house cat, I'll treat you like one", Zzubus responded in a somewhat light-hearted manner. The bartender soon added, "Here's a chew-toy, kitty", before throwing poor Kric up at the lounging jaguar. The imp wasn't a real liability and customer until he was dead, that's the beauty of the Edge Tavern.
Rebecca (@shagranoz) strolled up to the bar with a confidence that betrayed her words. "Hello there, Zzubus. I'm back, but it seems this will be a more permanent visit. Kind of embarrassing for someone like me, to be perfectly honest.", she said almost shamefully. The archdemon retorted with a witty, "You say that to an archdemon tending a bar in the middle of nowhere, don't sweat it.". The necromancer had been an old friend of the demon before, but her studies and worldly happenings had caused a long hiatus in their connection. Zzubus was always happy to have another friend at the tavern, even if it was permanently. He passed her a glass of ale and a seat before asking her what caused a master of death to die. Disease, huh? "You should've seen the bar when the Bubonic plague hit a planet called Earth 2. I was booked for weeks.", the demon chatted.
Rebecca and Zzubus's catching up chat was suddenly cut short with the appearance of Czurem (@medalliah) and the rosy-cheeked David (@LChris314). The archdemon turned as the draconian teen explained her want for the magik user and him to become acquainted, really something that wasn't a problem. "Have you already got yourself a handsome date tonight, Czurem?", the demon joked. He had never seen this gentleman before, his features chiseled but his expression quite childish and inquisitive. Interesting definitely described him. The man was obviously feeling threatened by the proportions and, of course, complexion of the eternal barkeeper, something that not even his stoic face could keep back, so Zzubus proposed to quell this apparent fear with an almost 'peace-offering' handshake. After all, rule one of being a bartender was to always make your patrons comfortable. The Tavern master extended a finger for the earthling to shake, his hand much too big to proceed with a more normal greeting, and started with a polite introduction. "I'm the archdemon Zzubus, bartender of the 'Edge of the World' Tavern. You must be David. You came with Rebecca, correct?". At the mention of the necromancer, the demon gave a slight gesture towards the female magic user. "Anyways, like I said, this is Rebecca, above me is the tavern pet, Vakim, and you've already met Czurem. Sadly, David, I'm a busy man tonight, so if you have any questions now is the time to ask them. Of course, Vakim and Rebecca have been around long enough that they can probably answer them, so if i'm not around later you know who to go to.", the archdemon informed the smartly-dressed gentleman. Zzubus pulled up a drink for himself for once as he talked with David, the sulfuric bubbling of the tavern's fiery stock liquor filling his glass as he leaned on the bar-top, a little more relaxed then usual.
