"Have a magical evening."
with a wink the imp and tablet disappear in a poof of smoke, the barkeep then poofs into existence elsewhere along the bar to serve the next customer.

Can you add Alph to the character page?

With a poof of thick, purple smoke an old imp appears on the other side of the bar.
His beard is white, his head bald, his horns long and curved.
As he poofs into existence, holding a freshly cleaned glass and sitting on a high stool, he grins widely.
"Coming right up."
He places a wet piece of clay tablet on the bar in front of the new patron.
(this is a common little ritual any summon would recognize. carving your private mark into the tablet opens a tab at the bar. You can drink with no worries, the pay will be subtracted from your masters mana pool. Coincidently, this is why summons cost energy in the first place.)
He then spins around on his stool and shoves some bottles labled 'the good stuff' aside to retrieve a specific, dusty bottle labled 'the better stuff' and a small crystal vial labeled 'fey cinnamon extract'. Four seconds of mixing later he presents a shot-glass with a clear red golden liquid.
"Welcome to the tavern."

Hello and welcome to a Familiar Tavern. I'm Akje, and i'll be your gm and bartender.
You are a magical creature who spends most of your time at the side of a mortal who summons you as an ally. In your off-time you are free to move to your home plane trough the astral sea. But you went to the tavern instead. To get a drink, meet new friends, dance or maybe get in a bar-fight.
When you (attempt to) enter the tavern you'll immediately notice it's got powerful protective wards up the but! It also magically transforms you into a smaller, more appropriate form. (This can be more humanoid, but doesn't have to be.up to you).
The tavern is massive inside. There are tables and chairs everywhere and the place is full of people.
There is music,
there are drinks,
there is gambling,
there are a bunch of immps fighting on a table while nobody pays them any mind.
In the middle of the building the round bar filled with drinks you've never heard of beckons.
To play all you need to do is make a character. There's a character sheet in Characters tab.
As for rules, don't be a dick.
I'll add more rules here later if needed:

So..
We've got this huge magical fantasy world. Full of wizards and dragons and all that good stuff.
But we're not going to focus on that. A lot of spell casters and magical beings use spells that conjure familiars to do battle or perform labor. From a wizard's familiar, to a druids summoned truant to a paladins mount. This world is full of magical ways to get some temporary aid. Question is: where do they go when the spell ends? Where are they when they are not needed?
Well most go home to their native plane, but there are some who know of a place.
A place located on the edge of the astral sea. Where they serve the best drinks this side of the multiverse.
Trough one way or another you've heard of the secret that is passed from one familiar to another since before anyone knows.
When your master sleeps you sneak off and travel the astral sea until you arrive.
The large oaken doors swing open when you approach.

A slight smile nearly appears on Burkley's face.
"I understand. It's been a long day, you've seen a lot. You take the rest of your day off and relax. You are new in town right? Take a look around. I'll finish up the report myself."
Burkley walks away, then pauses after two steps...
"Should you find anything you can't explain..."
He hands her a card, then leaves.
The card looks like a cheaply printed business card, it reads "Down the rabbit hole" followed by a phone number.
