To make this more fun to you the reader, I suggest putting on the theme from Video Game Confessions ( /watch?v=tCrrZ1NnCuM )

Multimedia Confessions - Season 1

You're introduced to a young Saya-jin/Endurion male of Blasian descent at about 6'0" with a fighter's frame. His hair spiked and black with eyes of light gray and electrical blue ends on his hair. He wears a black three piece suit with a dark blue collared tie, a tie, and black boots.

"This is Ryo Nazo Blackthorn, a Time Patroller and younger brother to Joshinari Blackthorn. Ryo works in the seven-star restaurant known as the Tori Dragon Palace (which is two blocks away from the Pixel Palace). Now it has expanded where all across the media, all around the multiverse, many pop in to have a drink. Sometimes, they share stories, and even secrets. Because—as we all know—what the bartender hears is confidential... isn't it?"

Episode 5 – Mario

So here I was tending the bar and in walks a celebrity still in the golden age, Mario. He's not wearing the overalls, but instead a fancy red and blue suit with his usual hat being a fedora. He smoked a cigar as he came up to the bar before taking off his shades.

"What can do for you, Mr. Video Game?" I said chipperly.

"Five Diamonds are Forever martinis, hold the diamonds." Mario said with a grin.

I was more than happy to serve that. Among the most expensive of cocktails, it's made with chilled Absolut Elyx vodka, a hint of fresh lime juice, stirred or shaken, and sparkling with a one-carat diamond at the bottom of the glass. Put you down for 20k, but if you're getting that drink…you clearly have money to burn. I serve it up and I get to talking.

"So have you seen the movie yet?" Mario asked me.

Of course, I tell him I haven't yet. Honestly, I've been unable to go see it in theaters…but I plan to get it on streaming. So I've been avoiding spoilers. I do tell him from what little I've seen, it already is the best film of the year.

"It's funny. Disney was all up in arms…talking about the Mario movie wouldn't make any money. Now Nintendo and I are richer while they get poorer…while they get weaker. I will admit we dodged bullets…those douches at Illumination wanted to make Peach the main lead and gut my role in the movie." Mario said while drinking one of them.

"Yeah, I heard about that. People don't know how to make good films anymore." I mumbled out as Mario laughed.

"Or video games. Have you seen the rebooted Saints Row? There's a good reason it's not on the Switch but GTA Definitive Edition is." Mario said, shaking his head. "Even if it's not perfect, miles better. Three classic games for one price."

Then the doors to the bar were kicked open, and in came…the kingpin of Disney, Mickey Mouse and…he was clearly already drinking.

"Mario, you bastard! You think you can walk into my turf like you own the place! Take my records! I…"

"Mickey…I didn't have to take anything. You didn't have anything to take at all given your track record as of late." Mario snarked.

That triggered Mickey and it sparked a bar fight. Props to Mickey, when Mario told him off he quietly took a seat to smash over Mario's head before punching him. I could have stepped in, but when was I ever going to say I saw Mario and Mickey fight each other. Plus both threw money at me, and I could take the hint.

"Oh my god, I-"

"Dawn, they paid. Let them fight." I said pouring us both a shot of red wine.

"This is about the movie?" Dawn asked as I nodded. "Damn."

We drank the shot. The fight was broken up by Luigi and Donald Duck trying to plead with them to stop.

"Don't you have your brother's sloppy seconds to clean up?" Mickey snarled.

"Don't talk to my-a brother like that, you fucking rat!" Mario said, slamming Mickey with a Super Jump Punch.

Pretty sure it broke Mickey's jaw. I finally decided to step in and punt Mickey out of my bar. Mickey ranted and raved about lawsuits, but I ignored him. Have you seen Florida nowadays? A complete legal shitshow. Besides, I'd have more to fear from Nintendo's lawyers than Disney's lawyers. Mario's legal team is pretty damn vicious. Donaldo leaves, and I keep Mario up.

I ask him if he's all him and he fluffs his suit.

"Never better. It's obvious the mouse is desparte…" Mario said before going to the counter.

He downed all those drinks in two goes, paid with a tip, and left all smiles with his brother. Damn, what a class act this one. But it seems the fight getting public seems to have attracted some more people…all in need of drinks.

You see a lot of strange things as a bartender, see a lot of strange things at the Tori Dragon. So, I see a lot of strange things as a bartender at the Tori Dragon, and that isn't no lie. Swear to it!

(A/N: I had to do Mario. The jokes write themselves, and now the door's open for plenty of characters to visit…both from Disney and Nintendo.)
