Great pictures, Humu. That really helps fill in a lot of the gaps from the night for me and others I'm sure. (Look, Jab! You really did go back to Minnie's!)
With your permission, here's my favorite sequence of pictures:
Arrival at the Dark Marq room. As you can make out in the back, the drunks begin to circle the bar....
One of the drunks begins sniffing around the bottles....
The bottles please the creature.
They begin to mark out their territory
The drunks on the left have staked out positions of dominance and cling to the bar with resolute determination, while the drunk in the back continues to sniff around the paper goods. Seeing the death grip on the bar, the drunk on the right begins to circle nervously, looking for a place to nest...
...but is greeted with a snarl from the drunk in the back who sensed a threatening presence. Drunk on the right flees! Meanwhile, center drunk begins to press his fingernails into the handrail.
Safely in position, the drunks become entranced with the movements of the native drunk, who explains the rituals indigenous to his territory.
15 minutes later
40 minutes later
1 hour later.
Center drunk's death grip has now snapped a section of bamboo bar rail off and holds it as a weapon in his crossed arms, perhaps eyeing new drunk on the right.
2 hours later.
Now sufficiently lubricated, one of the drunks launches into a ritual dance, or "drunk fu".
