Sorry, everyone, but Dex's Pub will not be open tonight, Aug 14, 2009. I am afraid that I am not feeling that well, and i havent been able to make the necessary arrangements for the pub to be open and looked after. Once again, for those of you who look forward to it, i am very sorry.
Just for future notice, if there are days when I cannot be here to open up the pub and i am aware of it, i will do everything i can to make sure it is opened and looked after. i will have someone indicated to be in charge of the pub for that particular night.
yes, there will probably still be some nights like tonight where we have to be closed suddenly, but we will do our best to not let those happen often.

Well, here is one of the first few tries at a Short Story history writing for the pub nights. Yeah i know that doesnt all sound right there, but its all i got right now. Anyway, here is the grand reopening night of the pub. Read it, comment on it, tell me what you think so i can know what to change. Thanks for reading!
-----------------------------------------------------------
Its been months since Dex’s Pub was last opened. There seemed to have been quite a few people who missed it since then, but it had to remain closed. After all, what good is a room that is only routine and uncaring? That’s why it had been created in the first place, Dex’s Pub. For people to feel comfortable to come in and vent and feel welcomed. And maybe… just maybe… its finally time to try that again…
Along the street of the chat rooms available, one building that had been void for months had a sign outside its door. If one where to stop and read its sign, they would notice that the sign read ‘Reopening! It’s been a while but we’re back!’
This building was Dex’s Pub, and its lights were all on.
7thEvaChild was behind the bar inside of Dex’s Pub after having just cut on the lights and set up the new sign outside the door. He looked around at the almost long forgotten pub. Everything was dusted, cleaned or replaced. The dojo training/sparring areas where set, the dojo style meditation mats and areas where clean and comfortable, the glasses behind the bar where freshly clean, all the drinks, the basic ones at least, where stocked up and ready, the icemaker was replaced and working. This was going to be a good night, a good reopening… at least, that’s what 7thEvaChild hoped.
Just as he sat back in his chair, folded his hands behind his head and sighed in content when the door burst open.
“OH MY GOD, THE PUB!!!!!”
7thEvaChild chuckled to himself and said, “Thought u would be first tonight, Rukia.”
Indeed it was NinjaRukia, one of the Pub usuals from what would soon be considered ‘the old days’ of the Pub. She had been one of the ones to continually ask for the Pub to reopen, and many a times it had to be said that it wasn’t time yet. But her outburst obviously meant that she was happy to be back.
“FINALLY YESH!!!!” she continued to exclaim happily as she came in. But she wasn’t alone. Behind her, a relatively new face walked in the door. 7thEvaChild looked and noticed that it was someone he had only seen in passing through other rooms over the past week. It was awesome elichan. She seemed like a nice person.
“The pub… it sounds so British… Cherio!” she laughed at her own joke.
“Elichan,” 7thEvaChild introduced, “the pub used to be open all the time, but it was closed for a while. Things kinda got outta hand in here on a few different levels. Tonight is the first night we have reopened.”
Rukia then exclaimed, “EVA CAN WE HAVE SOME WINE COOLERS TO CELEBRATE?!?!?!!?”
Fortunately by now 7thEvaChild had learned to be careful of random shouting in the pub. Also, fortunately, 7thEvaChild remembered the few rules the Pub had and he knew Rukia knew them as well.
“Rukia, you know the rules, no alcohol, remember? So Elichan, what do you think of the pub?” 7thEvaChild chose not to hear the ‘Damnit’ Rukia said.
“It seems ok in here. I’ve only just gotten to come back online and visit these places,” Elichan said.
7thEvaChild nodded and said to anyone, “Anyone want a drink?”
At this, Miracle Star19 walked in. Well, it was actually a clone of Miracle Star19, but to everyone, it was Mira all the same. She was also what would be considered a usual to the pub.
“I’ll take some sweet tea, Eva, in a glass with ice,” Mira-clone requested.
“I’ll take a Coke please,” Elichan said.
“Glass, bottle or can, elichan?” 7thEvaChild asked, all the while making a glass of sweet tea with ice and sliding it down the bar to Miracle Star19-clone.
“Glass bottle please,” Elichan responded. 7thEvaChild nodded and reached down and pulled out a glass bottle of Coke, popped the top and slide it down the bar. By this point, sailormoon4376 had walked in and joined the others either at a table or at the bar. Everyone said their hellos and introductions as they talked comfortably with each other like friends. Rukia shared an artwork she had done of what the pub looked like. It was a great sight and sound to hear for everyone.
After everyone seemed acquainted, we decided to go on over the rules of the Pub, however few their were. It was a slightly joking manner, but it was necessary. No alcohol, No guns, and no language barrier, so long as they didn’t abuse any of these to any extent, everyone would be happy. And tonight… everyone did seem happy. Dex’s Pub was back, and it would be for a reason.

Well, there it is. Whether you like it or not, any kind of comment or opinion is welcomed. And all credit for this goes to Dex's Pub and its people!

Welcome to Dex's Pub!
This place is for any and everyone. We had originally opened several months ago and had a reason behind it. However, that meaning was forgotten and we shut down until things could improve in theOtaku's chats and amongst theOtaku's members. For the longest time we stayed closed, despite the demands of another night at the Pub.
But now, We Are Back! This time, its for a reason! Its for everyone to feel welcomed and to feel as though everyone has someone to talk to in trust and confidence. This place is not dedicated to just one person or one group of people, but to everyone, and everyone is welcomed at all times. There are only a few simple rules that we have for the Pub, and after that, a few simple requests for when you come in.
1. No alcohol is allowed. We have just about every other drink, except alcohol. I know that a Pub makes people think of those kinds of drinks like that, but not here.
2. No guns are allowed. You may bring in any other weapon you'd like, but not to just start a fight. An example, I myself will have kunai and shuriken on my person, and I always have my zanpacto with me. (a request, we would appreciate that there be no explosives either)
3. There are no language restrictions in the Pub. So long as you do not abuse this freedom, nothing will be said. However, if you do abuse this and pick on or specifically hurt and harm anyone, you will get one warning, and then you are out of the pub for a while.
You Have Been Warned!!
We are so very looking forward to getting to know you here at Dex's Pub. Remember, if you ever need anything, this is the place for you to come and ask for whatever you may need. You can find advice and a shoulder to lean on or even just an ear to hear you out. After all, thats what this place is for...
Again, Welcome to Dex's Pub!
