Forum
The Forum is a bar in the mind of William Denn. It's main feature is the stage, from which personalities can direct his actions and interact with the outside world. There is a television on the stage that displays the images that Denn sees, and speakers play what he hears. These enable anybody near the stage to observe what's happening outside.
The stage is the most stable feature in Denn's mind, apparently beyond the influence of individual preferences or desires. The remainder of the bar tends to maintain a general layout, due to the nearly constant presence of several personalities that believe it should conform to a standard appearance. Details tend to be more susceptible to modification, altering to suit the needs and expectations of visitors.
Although the personalities do not need to eat or drink, many are comforted by going through the motions. There is no wait staff, and no one has seen a kitchen, but food and beverages appear and refresh as required and vanish when no longer needed. Some personalities like to build up a stack of used dishes for a more natural feel, while others exert more conscious manipulation of their environment.
