Located near the students union is the official SU Bar. The building was, originally, an ad-hoc library in the earlier days of the University. When the SU was formally created there was a sudden realisation that, with the coming of politics and committees, students would need somewhere to drink themselves into oblivion in peace. Thus the Old Library, long used as a store-room once the main library had been built, became converted into the Students Union Bar, or to practically everyone on Campus: The Libary. The name has confused many who assume it is just a typo.
The building consists of the ground floor bar and RaveSpace, the student club, in the basement. The bar area is very cosy. Numerous pool tables line one side of the long room, and overly-comfy, if slightly sticky, leather furniture dominates the rest of it. The bar itself is surprisingly long, making it easy to cope with large crowds on big nights out. The walls have a distinct, book-shaped pattern painted on them in homage to the name, and many of these "books" have names & dates scrawled onto their spines from students long gone. The bar is not the only room on the ground floor; there are toilets and, most handily, a small 24-hours clinic. This is always staffed and run by a local charity, and supplies first aid, condoms and emergency contraception, as well as drugs-testing kits, all confidentially to any student in need.

Alex walked into the bar ahead of the others, pushing through the doors and heading to the first available table. He threw his jacket onto the back of the sofa and plonked his beanie down next to it, ruffling his hair a bit as he took it off. The bar was bustling with freshers, filling up almost every table and being so loud you could barely hear yourself think.
'So! What's everyone having?'

Herbert thought it must have been a wild night; Alex was stumbling around the library claiming it was the bar. He moved to check on Alex but he appeared fine, if completely wasted, so he moved to a table, just to get a feel for the library and some quiet. He kept his eye on Alex out of concern however.

Herbert then blinked, realising HE'D mistaken the bar for the library. that damn name! He decided to quickly get out before anyone noticed.

(OOC: Since we've been asked to try and wrap this up for the next day;)
Aurora joined those who had come to the bar and told Alex her first drink would be a blue WKD. She said the next round would be on her; that was a vodka and orange juice. As the night progressed, her drinks got stronger.
At one point, she thought she saw Herbert in the bar. She couldn't find him when she actively looked for him so she decided to send the lad a text.
After a while, she waved goodbye to the group and joined up with some of her old friends. She was tipsy, but University had certainly built up her tolerance. She enjoyed the rest of the night with her old friends, who she tried to introduce to her new acquaintances, but her old friends were completely hammered so it didn't go down very well.
Once it got to last orders, that's when Aurora decided to call it a night. She said her goodbyes and headed back to the Accommodation centre.

Olem decided to drink the usual, a few pints of beer, before wandering back to the accommodation block, hoping that everything had been sorted out and he could just pass out on some shoddy mattress.

Herbert walked into the bar, intending to get a drink of coke or something; too early for alcohol and he was feeling quite tired. He might even kip for the rest of the day.
He made his way past a few quiet people, his friends (hopefully) in tow and sat down at a table.

"-look, all I'm saying is that Captain Doggo would be an excellent name. I do not see why you all dislike it so much-" Lucio was still arguing when the group entered the LiBARy. . He got a glass of orange juice off the bar and joined Herb at his table. He'd need breakfast first before drinking properly.

"-because I'm not a Captain anymore than you're a Reverend-" Ed thought better of alcohol given that it wasn't even midday and she was still large and fluffy. She got ice water and squeezed into the table with her friends.

Olem, having had a few small breaks already, decided on a pint of beer would be a good thing to drink. He moved over to where Herbert was sitting, and sat a few seats away, but on the same table.
He reached into an inner pocket, and got his phone out. He scanned for any updates in the world, before tapping out a quick message and put it away.

Alex walked up to the bar, checking what money he had on him following his hasty dressing that morning - barefoot in the bar was definitely not something he would be doing again. A single crumpled five pound note was in his pocket.
'Hey,' he said, as the bartender came over. 'Can I get a Budweiser? Cheers.'
With the morning he had been having, Alex had come here with every intention of drinking. He looked over to the others, thinking about how this day had gone so far. Superpowers. Chaos. Drones turned violent. And this lot... had it been up to Alex, they wouldn't have been his first choice of people to get superpowers, but that was how it had turned out. And, perhaps even more unusually, he guessed they were becoming his friends. Things were about to get a whole lot weirder than they had ever been. And maybe it wasn't the best idea to use every new oddity as a reason to drink.
'Um, sorry, actually,' he called over to the bartender, who had just laid a hand on a bottle of Bud, 'can you make it a Coke instead?' He looked over the array of soft drinks. 'And make it a Zero?'
Drink in hand, he went over to the others and took a seat at the same table. He sent off another text before turning to everyone else, taking a moment's quite to appreciate the chance to just sit down and relax.

Chris was a few steps behind the others when she skipped in with a wide smile spread all over her face.
"Pint of lager please mate," she said to the man behind the bar.
Pulling up a stool to the table, she sat across from Herbert, Lucio and Ed. In four huge gulps, her pint had been downed. She gasped for air when she had finished and wiped her mouth with her sleeve, throwing the two boys a wink.
"Sexy or what?" She sarcastically remarked.

"Uh huh, well after that display of skill, I think I'm going to get something to eat". Grabbing a menu, Olem walked over to the bar and ordered a large fried breakfast, along with a black coffee. He handed over the money, making sure to not touch the waitresses hand, and returned to the table. He finished the beer, and started on the coffee. "So, gang, you got any super special names for yourselves yet?"

Alex smirked when he saw Chris down her drink. It was probably the first time he had smiled all morning. It was a lot easier when people weren't in danger and no robots were attacking you.
'Come back here tonight and I bet I can down a pint in half that time,' he said. 'Actually, that's a point, anyone planning on coming to the bar tonight for freshers week drinks? And maybe heading down to RaveSpace later on?'
