Kraken Jokes Bar

Ten Tickles

Written by Endrise

Had to ban octopus jokes because the stand up comedians kept insisting on making them. It was fun the first few times, then someone got stabbed.
— Bartender

At Faramund's docks, buried within one of the side streets, lies a small bar known as the Kraken Jokes Bar. A place known for its octopus cuisine and stand up comedy, one can spend their nights here enjoying a good meal while listening to the tales and jokes from across Sichelan.

Drinks & Laughs

Arriving at the small bar just removed from the main dock street, one gets greeted by the laughing octopus sign hanging from the wall. The sound of laughter and the smell of sealife being served noticeable even from outside the establishment.

Once inside, one is greeted by the sight of fish and fishing equipment decorating the walls. A bar at the right side serving drinks both alcoholic and otherwise, complete with a shelf of brews from across the Crescent Sea. If you want a certain drink, the bartender can provide.

At the top-left corner resides a large open stage, at the corner wall the priced possession of the Kraken Jokes Bar: the beak of a Kraken, mounted on the wall above the stage. Some fear it is going to fall off any day now, but in the lifespan of the bar it only fell once.

Specialities

The bar's main speciality is an assortment of octopus-based snacks alongside the many drinks, including a black beer made by using squid ink as a dye. Food like octopus rings and other such fried goods also get served alongside, using ones caught around the coastal areas. On occassion, a slice of Kraken may be served as well.   During the evening, the stage is open for any travelling bards to perform their songs to the public, or more commonly have comedians try their chance at humour. Anyone can be on the stage, though on weekends a few more talented names also visit to give their jokes.   Just don't bother with kraken puns, those got banned after someone got stabbed over it.

I love the pun of the establishment, and the fact that such puns are banned because of the frequency XD I also really like the comedy show aspect of it, since that feels like a more modern entertainment concept added to a fantasy setting, a favorite of mine (to the point I have radio shows and metal music as recent additions in my setting) The food aspect does make me wonder, does your world have any east asian inspirations? 'Cause when I think "octopus cuisine" admittedly the first thing that comes to mind is Takoyaki

That's a real fun and charming article centered around a comedic Cephalopod-themed establishment you got there, it'd be a real shame if someone were to, I don't know, add it to their reading challenge or something like that. Crazy, even.   (Also don't look up Kraken Puns, worst mistake of my life)


While I would love to go on an adventure, writing them is enough for me.
