"Hey, can you make it a little snappy with my ID? It's legit, I swear!"
Here ya go buddy hands him the six pack
takes the beer and smiles Thanks dude. You're a lifesaver, really.
opens one of the cans and starts drinking Ahhh, that's some great shit! Thanks again dude! waves and walks away
returns 10 minutes later, holding his crotch and looking very uncomfortable Hey... Um... Can I talk to you for a second?
I think there might be something wrong with this beer... shows the open can It wasn't like this when I bought it... Could you check it out?
sniffs the air there’s a kid on the fucking forum I’m not doing this
"Please, man, I don't know what happened. I didn't drink anything from this can." looks worried and frightened
buys another six pack This time you better not kid
"No, no, no! That's not what I meant! I didn't want more beer! Look, I think someone spiked the beer or something! There must be some sort of poison in there!" looks desperate and scared
nudges him aside get lost or do you wanna turn into the next liquors commercial?
stumbles back and falls onto the ground, clutching his stomach and groaning in pain Agh... What the hell did they put in this?! looks terrified
the security comes up Hey bud it’s poison
wheezes and gasps for breath N-Not poison... I... I just... need... help... coughs up blood and collapses to the floor
Yeah I’ve been trying to tell you
struggles to speak P-Please... help... I-I feel so sick... starts coughing violently
The ambulance comes in, and helps
groans weakly as he lays on the stretcher Please... save me... I don't want to die... looks up at the paramedics with pleading eyes
stares offscreen At least you could’ve drunk responsibly
coughs violently and winces in pain D-Don't... blame... me... looks down, tears streaming down his face I'm sorry... I never meant for this to happen... faints before reaching the hospital
awakens a few hours later in a hospital bed, looking disoriented Wha... wha... where am I? What happened?
Dude you drank responsible
looks at the empty bed next to him Did someone else... get poisoned too? Are they okay?
sits up in bed and scans the room for any signs of the other person I need to find them. I need to make sure they're safe. looks determined
grabs a nurse passing by Excuse me, have you seen anyone else who was brought in after drinking beer? Maybe someone who got poisoned?
uhh yeah they made it alright
looks relieved Thank goodness. I was so worried. Can you tell me where they are? I need to make sure they're okay.

grateful smile Thank you for letting me know. I'll head up there right away. And thank you for taking care of me. I owe you one.
nods earnestly I will do whatever it takes to repay you. Just tell me what I need to do. I want to make it up to you.
reaches into his wallet and pulls out a wad of cash Here, take this. It's not much, but it's all I have on me right now. Is it enough?
It’s enough it was $3,500
eyes widen in surprise Wow, that's a lot of money. Thank you so much! I don't know how I can ever repay you for this.
genuinely touched Thank you. Seriously, thank you. You have no idea how grateful I am. I promise I won't forget this.
You promise? Now come on. They probably wanna stay longer.
stands up from the bed and stretches Alright, let's go. I'm ready to see my friend and make sure they're okay. Lead the way.
leads you upstairs to the third floor Well here ya go…
enters the room cautiously, looking around for any signs of discomfort or distress Hello? Is someone here?
your friend waves lazily Yo bro
