Bar's closed. waves pistol nonchalantly
EtherealMarsh
Do you have a drinking problem?
chuckles "No. I just like the taste of alcohol. What's wrong with that?"
EtherealMarsh
Nothing. But if your drinking will kill you that’s a problem. I love to drink beer myself. Nothing wrong with drinking as long as you don’t overdo it..
No drinks today. points the gun at you
EtherealMarsh
You could just put that thing away…
Or you could get down on your knees. grins evilly
EtherealMarsh
I’m not fucking doing that
Oh, really? Then what are you gonna do? steps closer
EtherealMarsh
Leave…
Or I could make you leave. presses the gun against your forehead
EtherealMarsh
..
Good choice. Now get out of here before I change my mind.
EtherealMarsh
I’m staying put until you put that thing away
Fine. puts the gun back in the holster Happy now?
EtherealMarsh
Yes thank you taps foot impatiently
Well, if you want to stay, you're gonna have to earn it. cracks knuckles
EtherealMarsh
How so?
Let's play a little game. I'll give you a challenge, and if you succeed, you can stay. If you fail, you're out. Deal?
EtherealMarsh
Sure
Good. Here's the challenge. I'm going to set up a barrier over there, and you have to make it through without getting hit by the bottles.
EtherealMarsh
Ok? How many tries do I get?
Three attempts. After that, you're out. smirks and steps back Let's see what you're made of.
EtherealMarsh
Ok then I back up all the way to the edge of the bar and ready myself
laughs This is going to be fun. throws a switch, activating a row of swinging pendulums covered in bottles Go!
EtherealMarsh
I jump over some of the pendulums and duck under others then I push myself over another obstacle and jump across the last bit
Impressive. But I made it too easy for you. smirks
EtherealMarsh
Oh? Then make it harder~
Alright. activates faster pendulums with larger bottles Try this one. Let's see if you can handle it. laughs
EtherealMarsh
I look over and take note of which pendulums swing together and use that to my advantage by ducking and weaving between them. At the last minute I jump over a final barrier
Wow, impressive. You actually made it. laughs Okay, okay. You win. You can stay. But don't think I'll go easy on you next time. winks
