Seventies gay bars.  Pleuch.

Just.... No.

"What's wrong with gay bars?"

[ashes_ascended]

"Nothing. Totally. Absolutely nothing. Not now it's, you know. NOW. You're lucky to be too young to remember the seventies anyway. Before punk happened, it was shite."

Not that Kaelen looks old enough, either.

[immortal_pirate]

Morgan laughed. "I remember the seventies," though he was playing young too. The other man had no way of knowing that he was considerably older than he looked. "And you're right, I can pass on the revival of disco and lots of gold chains and chest hair. Ewww." He did the maths quickly. If he was as old as he looked he would have been ten at the time?

[ashes_ascended]

"Ugh, gods! Don't get me started on chest hair!" This other man is an angel, and if he's paying attention he can spot an immortal - only he wasn't not paying attention.

Until now. Because this guy can't be more than thirty-five. Which makes him born in say 1977?

"Huh." Excuse him while he sniffs you.

[a_time_slip]

Were they filled with hot guys sporting porn staches?

[immortal_pirate]

"What's with the funny look? I was there. I might have been five, but I was there. I'm still emotionally scarred from the BeeGees."

[ashes_ascended]

Urgh! Do not...ever. Go wash your mouth out.

But yeah. S'all that face fungus. Why were the seventies so ....hairy?

[a_time_slip]

What? Say porn stache? Or say Porn?

That was the style then. Lots and lots of hair. Everywhere.

[ashes_ascended]

Yeah, you don't smell mortal, mister. But the Bee Gees comment has Kaelen sniggering.

"Seriously? Snogging in a seventies gay bar - or indeed snogging Barry Gibb - is like eating pussy. Kinda defeats the object."

[immortal_pirate]

Morgan laughed, "Too true. I can pass on the whole Bear thing too."

[ashes_ascended]

[He fixes her with a look] You may say porn.

Huh. Give me the smooth twenty-first century any day. Gods, how could guys ever think beards were sexy? Must have been a hundred times worse in the Victorian era. [Shudders]

[a_time_slip]

[She'll just try not to laugh for the moment]

You want to go find out?

[lostinthefog]

What, did you find one?

[ashes_ascended]

He can't help laughing too. "Oh please. Don't. Gods that's the last thing you need cropping up, when you're surfing for porn."

[ashes_ascended]

Yeah. [He still looks slightly pained, and pats the temporal device in his pocket] In the actual seventies.

I'd take you there but.. no. No. I really wouldn't.

[ashes_ascended]

No, I hate Victorian Britain. The food sucks, and there's no hot showers.

[immortal_pirate]

"Seriously! All that hair and leather!" he made a face, but was still laughing.

[a_time_slip]

I was just kidding, Phoenix.

I wouldn't subject you to lots of hairy and stinky men. Besides, Victorian gay bars were probably really boring.

[lostinthefog]

[Seeing the pained look, he starts laughing a bit.]

Why not? I know these things only from movies. I can see it must have been somewhat traumatizing, alright ...

[ashes_ascended]

"I can take the leather.... long as it's with smooth skin." He shrugs a bit, still grinning. "Now I made myself sound like a real fussy git."

[ashes_ascended]

Oh. [Now he feels dumb] Right.

Opium houses might have been kinda cool though. Apart from that smelly thing.

[ashes_ascended]

Let me put it this way, you know the gay biker stereotype? Porn moustache, leather cap, all that stuff? It's a stereotype because it was rife in that era.

[a_time_slip]

If you ever actually want to go, just tell me. I'm getting a little bored so I might have to sneak off and explore.

[immortal_pirate]

"Nah, everyone has their preferences," Morgan grinned. "It's the hair I object to most too. I'm Morgan, can I buy you a drink?"

[lostinthefog]

[He's still grinning, clearly amused.]

The whole bar filled with people dressed like that, really? Man, you must have stood out, unless you went in camouflage ...
