[DAY 08/SUNDAY]

The dangerous confrontation is defused as quickly as it started. The moment he stepped inside the cabin, you made two important observations about the foolhardy man:

One, he’s exhausted and potentially hungry. Which is not a good sign.

Two, his will is moved by the most altruistic of motives: Revenge. You can see it in his eyes, he won’t stop until he obtains his payback. You respect that, so you invited him to eat the meal you put your heart into.

The intruder is enjoying the Regular Homemade Dinner you made, sitting at the table with you three. Catastrovania and Maggie are as far as they can be from the stranger, both looking uncomfortable, but you’re sitting next to him no problem. Why wouldn’t you? Aside from the dubious make-up he’s wearing, the strong-willed man looks like a man with good intentions.

Maggie tries to address the elephant in the room, but you raise your hand to keep her quiet. The man needs some time to digest his food.

“Thanks for the meal!” The eccentric intruder is full of gratitude.

It’s getting late. At this pace, your morning exercises will be in jeopardy.

What do you say?

>“Could you explain to us what’s going on with you?”
>“Sorry friend, but it’s getting late and you need to go to your house. I’m sure your family is worried.”
>Smack his face on the plate, then throw him out.

“Could you explain to us what’s going on with you?” You politely asked.
“Oh, right.” The man drinks what’s left of his glass of water in one gulp, puts it on the table, and stands up. “Ehem… It’s time for you to pay for what you did to MEEEEE!” He points towards one of the girls, then at you, then at the girls. Doesn’t look like he’s confident of the culprit he’s seeking. You walk next to the girls so he doesn’t have to keep doing that.

“You already said that…” Catastrovania points out.
The intruder completely ignores Catastrovania. “You think you can just trample over me and think I’m not going to do anything?!”
“We, like, don’t understand what’s going at all.” Maggie is confused. “What’s your name even?”
“Name’s Spectralhound, and I’m sure one of you have done me wrong. Backstabbed me one way or another! And I won’t stay silent!”

“Spectralhound? Sounds familiar...” Maggie seems to be onto something, yet you and Catastrovania are clueless – you both share a look and shrug.
“Hey, hey… I’m pretty famous, all right? Just try a little bit harder… I’m sure I’m all over the radio stations now.” He seems offended by no one knowing him.
“Mr. Spectralhound—”
“Just call me Spectralhound.” Spectralhound interrupts you.

“Yeah, whatever. You haven’t answered my question, could you do that now?” You knew it was revenge, but why?
“Mmm... I don’t know if I can share my tormented past with you all. I’m seriously grateful for the food you gave me. But one of you is the reason why I’m here tonight and I won’t show weakness to my enemies!” The eccentric fellow is a puzzle you don’t want to bother finishing.

“Hey Catastrovania Strifaust Morituros IX, he talks just like you! You could be friends!” Maggie smiles warmly to Catastrovania.
“I sound like that…?” Catastrovania looks shocked, then she shakes her head. “E-Ehem! Well indeed, some say parody is the highest form of flattery. Fufufu…”

“Just spit it out.” Enough with giving him a warm welcome.
“I… I…” Spectralhound closes his eyes and clenches his fist, he’s disturbed. “I was overcharged at the car rental! I know one of you did it! I identified the car I supposedly rented and found you lot!”
“…Why not sue the company instead of chasing after us?” Maggie states the obvious.

“A-ha! So it was you!” The intruder points directly at Maggie.
“Uh?! What makes you say that?!” Maggie looks offended.
“You look the part!”
“…That’s true. But I don’t!” Nice argument, Maggie.

>>3613919

“Then it was you!” He points at Catastrovania now. He believed her...?
“W-What makes you think t-that?!” The cat girl is startled.
“Well if she didn’t! That means you did! No man who prepares such a great meal can be capable of evil.” The man full of make-up nods at you. “Now it’s time to pay!” He starts cracking his knuckles. Catastrovania hides immediately behind you.

What do you do?

>“Cat, apologize to the well-intentioned man.”
>“I made her do that. The one you’re seeking is me.”
>“Stop pointing at people.”
>“Can we just pay you your money back?”
>“You got the wrong people here.” Blame Aleister somehow!
>Write In.

>>3613923

“Stop pointing at people.” You demanded in a stern but polite tone.
“Uh, sure…” Spectralhound looks ashamed of himself.
“How did you even get here?”
“Not by my rental car, that’s obvious!” At least the wannabe looking rock star finds humor in the situation. “I took the train.”

“Ooooh.” Maggie tries to act surprised.
“Stop with the weird questions!” You disagree with his assessment. These questions are pretty normal. “Give me what I want!”
“You do realize more people work at the car rental company than just one, right? I’m sure it was one of the only employees. The only one of us who even worked there was Catastrovania and she wouldn’t over charge anyone.” You explain.

“That’s where you are wrong, man!” Spectralhound wanted to point at you but he refrained from doing so. “I have definitive evidence, I have the online receipt here! Look the seller’s name.” He shows it to you, yep, that’s Catastrovania’s stupidly large name. “See? I had my doubts who this Catastrovania really was, but now I know the TRUUuuuUUTH!”
“Even me? That’s a girl’s name…” You’re slightly offended.

“I’m not judging.” Spectralhound shrugs. Him jumping from enraged to chill and enraged again is odd.
Maggie gets closer and takes the receipt to check it herself. “Your name is Frederick Conti?” Maggie points out.
“Y-Yeah…” He looks ashamed of it.

“Ha! I’m gonna call you Freddy from now on!” Maggie starts giggling.
“Just use my stage name!” Freddy gets mad again. “Anyway, stop stalling! I want retribution! Catastro-whatever! You’re going to pay for what you did!”

“Ngh…” Catastrovania buries herself further down behind your back. “H-Help…” She whispers to you.

You promise the frightened cat that you will take care of her.

What do you do?

>“If you have a problem with her, you’ll have to go through me.”
>“I’m calling the cops.”

“Is there a way we can settle this peacefully?” No need to make more enemies now. Besides, Aleister is the only one you would want to keep as one. “Also we might need to make this quick since we pissed off a criminal organization and they might show up unexpectedly at any moment like you did.”
“I never thought about it. I was prepared to fight and nothing else…” Freddy rubs his chin.
“…A girl. You were prepared to fight a girl and nothing else...?” It’s not even about being chivalrous, but wouldn’t most people in physical disadvantages try to solve their problems peacefully?

Who are you to talk? You want to have your revenge against a man 0.02% stronger than you!

“Hey, I pick fights I can win most of the time.” Freddy is a coward, all respect you had for him is slowly disappearing. “But I would fight anyone who wronged me! Girl or giant. Strong or weak. Cute or ugly. I don’t care! All for inspiration.”
“So?”

“Monetary settlement is out of the question…” He seems to be putting a lot of thought about what he wants. “Life is all about respect. You didn’t even give a second thought about who you were screwing up. So not only do I want an apology, but I want a good one. You hear me?”
“Oh no, are you going to make her like beg for it on her knees?! Then kiss your feet?! And then spank her?! Then cancel the holidays?!” Maggie exclaims as her mind is going to darker places. Catastrovania’s eyes open wide and starts fidgeting uncontrollably. The cat girl tries to say something but only incoherent whining comes out of her mouth.

“W-Who said anything about spanking her?!” Freddy Spectralhound is weirded out. “You do have a point… I want her on her knees apologizing and kissing my feet. Yeah, sounds good. I won’t settle for less. You gave me something to eat so I don’t want something else.” He nods to himself.
You turn to Catastrovania who is looking all kinds of conflicted. She whispers to you… “I-I only did that to help… Please don’t make me do it…”

What do you do?

>“Don’t be selfish. Go ahead, so we can get out of trouble quick.” Catastrovania will bite the bullet.
>Make Maggie do it. She seems like she’s used to the abuse.
>“That won’t do. I apologize for the troubles you endured, but I won’t make a fool out of one of the members of this team.”

“That won’t do. I apologize for the troubles you endured, but I won’t make a fool out of one of the members of this team.” You firmly reply to Freddy. The man grits his teeth in response. He's not happy!

Catastrovania is moved by your response! You feel her trust for you building up!

“No, you’re going out of synch. But since you’re the one doing the apologies for Ms. Tight lips here. Why don’t we take things outside and settle things like men?” Freddy Spectralhound wants to escalate this! “My demands were clear. You didn’t accept ‘em. Here are the consequences.” He cracks his knuckles.
“Hey, hey, hey. We tried to make this non-violent and stuff! What’s your problem?!” Maggie is fairly agitated.
“My problem? I didn’t travel for hours for a half-assed apology from someone who isn’t the main culprit! I bet your ass I wouldn’t even hear an apology if I didn’t bring myself here! My problem this shit isn’t good enough!” Spectralhound shouts to Maggie, who walks a couple of steps back. “Am I crystal clear? It’s time for demolition!”

“And what makes you think we will follow your rules, Mr. Clown?!” Maggie won’t stand for this.
“Clown?! Have you seen your own make-up?!” Surprisingly, this comment actually hurt Maggie! She takes a mirror out of her pocket to look at herself. “But you see, I know a man when I see one. I’ll be outside waiting!” He steps out of the cabin with strong determination.

“Hey, y-you don’t have to do it…” Catastrovania pulls your shirt and whisper.
“Grrr! Let’s all beat him up! Who cares about what he wants?!” Maggie is easy to enrage.

What do you do?!

With great determination you approach the door, each step heavier than the last. Both Maggie and Catastrovania watch you go with admiration in their eyes. They both want to say something, but they know words of encouragement will do more harm than good, you cannot lose concentration. You continue to move forward…

…

You heroically lock the door. You turn to the perplexed duo, you locked eyes with Maggie as she’s the one who looked less shocked of the two and say without any emotion whatsoever:

“Call the cops.”
“A-Aye!” Maggie takes her phone out and makes the distress call, while she’s busy talking to the authorities, Catastrovania approaches you.

“I-I’m actually relieved you didn’t go out, but…” Catastrovania looks unsure if this is going to work.
“Just hope he doesn’t try to bring the door down.”

Maggie was intelligent enough to call your landlord as well and inform them of the situation, with that, a couple of thugs (or security guards) dealt with a clueless Spectralhound. He was still expecting you to come out to fight even after a long time waiting. Poor naive guy.

Your landlord dealt with the police and will press charges against Freddy “Spectralhound” Conti. You didn’t want him to, but eh, it’s not your business. If the guy is as famous as he pretends he is, this won’t go well for him and will want to keep quiet.

You’re not planning on staying for long, so you don’t care.

It all happened in the span of 30 minutes, so aside from peeking from the window, you and the girls didn’t do much. It’s already late, you need to go to sleep.

What do you do?

You approach Catastrovania who you perceive as looking a little down from the incident. Before you pry into why, Maggie approached you both and reported she’s going to go to girls’ room to sleep. She doesn’t look one bit tired. You faintly see her phone’s screen on Youtube, so you’re not entirely sure if she’s telling the truth, even with these doubts in mind – you trust her anyhow.

Now you’re left alone with Catastrovania. She beats you to the task and starts the conversation:

“S-Shouldn’t we go to sleep as well…?” Catastrovania doesn’t appear to look comfortable.
“Not sure. You don’t look good.”
“Y-You noticed…” Catastrovania is a little embarrassed.

“Explain to me what’s wrong.”
“Huh… It’s n-nothing...” She’s lying.
“Were you afraid just now?”

“N-No! I’m no s-stranger to enemies! I’ve defeated hundreds of powerful entities beyond your comprehension! That man was not worth my time, hence why I let you dealt with him.” Catastrovania smugly boasts about her greatness. “It had absolutely nothing to do with me being afraid and s-stuff!”
“So why were you hiding behind me then?”

“I w-was testing you a-again! You failed again for not showcasing your abilities to me! But I applaud your cunningness, so I’ll let this slide again! My generosity knows no bounds!” The humble Catastrovania exclaimed.
“I can still see your legs trembling.”

“T-That’s because… Uhm… I’m tired! Hiding my true power is exhausting!”
“Didn’t you say the opposite before?” That she needed to recharge or something…
“It’s advanced DARK MAGIC! You wouldn’t understand quite as easily as someone as gifted as myself, so I’ll refrain from explaining.” Catastrovania’s smugness disappear in a blink of an eye as she asks an important question. Her cheeks are red and she’s looking away from you. “Uhm… Alfred, after you guys go training, are you going to be busy? I wanted to show you something, I-I think it’s pretty c-cool… I can’t show it now, I need t-to p-prepare first… so are you up to it?”

How do you respond?

>“Sure.” It’s not like you’re planning on working tomorrow or leave as soon as possible.
>“What do you mean “you guys”? You’re training too.”
>“We’ll leave it for later. I need to go to work.”

“But what do you mean “you guys”? You’re training too.” You respond to this first. Sneaky Catastrovania wants to lazy around.
“I b-barely survived last time…”
“The first is always the hardest. I believe in you.” In her and Maggie! You’re a team, damn it. “But I’m not doing what you say unless you promise to train twice as hard the day after tomorrow.”

“Ngh… Fine! But if I d-die, you’ll have to summon my eternal soul back to this realm somehow!” Catastrovania agrees to your proposal. You were teasing her, but it’s good she’s up to more training. She needs it.

You nod back as a way to seal the deal. There is no turning back now. Promptly, Catastrovania excuses herself to the girls’ room as she needs to prepare for tomorrow’s activity! You ask her to conserve some energy and tell the same to Maggie. An excited Catastrovania smiles and nods at your direction. It’s time for you to sleep again.

[DAY 09/MONDAY]

What a beautiful early morning for you to train! Immediately you go for the girls to get this day going! Maggie looks sleepy as always, but Catastrovania looks full of energy! With a nutritious breakfast eaten. It’s time for your team morning jogging.

It was a disaster. Catatrovania’s frail tooth-pick body gave up halfway through it and you had to carry her on your back. Things got worse when Maggie collapsed as well, you tried to fisherman carry both, but you weren’t strong enough for that yet. You dropped them one by one back at the cabin. Catastrovania first who was happy to have some extra time to prepare for her activity, then Maggie who was happy to enjoy some time on the beach.

While Catastrovania did so much better than last time, it is still unacceptable she can’t do the full run – but you appreciate her trying. On the other hand, you were completely disappointed in Maggie who before was able to keep up with you! Worse is that she seems content with you carrying her around for some reason.

You gained +3 Fitness experience points. You’re halfway through! Carrying the extra weight helped…

After dropping Maggie on her bed in the girls’ room and taking a quick shower, Catastrovania called you to the dining table, she has something prepared with her laptop on…

“Please sit down!” Catastrovania seems anxious but happy to start.
You quietly sit at the other side of the table, where Cat was pointing at. “Hmm?”
“So… Have you heard about quests before?” Catastrovania wonders.

How do you respond?

“Huh… Nice shirt.” It’s weird.
“Thanks!” She sounds far more energetic than usual, that’s counting the exercise she did. “So? Have you?” She inquiries again.
“I’ve heard of CYOA, does that count?” You think you’ve heard of it. “Or is it more like tabletop gaming?” You played dnd with your friends before they left Laoling.

“You could say that! Yes! Like those, this is like, an interactive story..! I’m a QM! A quest maker! Only the most genius, hyper intelligent spellbinding story weavers of society could ever have what it takes to craft such compelling user influenced tales!” Catastrovania seems happy to explain.
“So it’s exactly like dnd.” So instead of calling yourself DM, she’s a QM. No difference.
“I guess…” She doesn’t seem happy with the comparison for some reason. “All you gotta do to play is follow along and answer my questions. Now, normally, I’d run you through a few sessions, but I’ll make this quick! One session for you to play. I usually run a cyberpunk setting, but I binge read Berserk the other day, so I’m up for some dark fantasy this time! I put a lot of effort into it!”

“Sure.” This is a nice change of pace from… eh… the usual?

“Ehem! In the magical land of—” Catastrovania is ready to start her tale.
“Hey you two, what are you doing?” Maggie appears in the scene. “Are you two going to have fun without me?” She jokes, but something about her tone makes you feel that’s not all that funny for her.

What do you do?

>“Yes. Good-bye.” She’s grounded for lazing out the morning jogging! No fun allowed for her.

“Do you want to play, Maggie?” You ask Maggie first, then realize you should ask Catastrovania instead. “Hey Cat, can we include Maggie in the game as well?”
“Uuhh… Fine...” Catastrovania looks slightly uncomfortable, perhaps she wasn’t ready for another player. Catastrovania points to the chair next to you for Maggie to sit on.
“Cooool!” Maggie takes a seat. “So what are we doing?”

Catastrovania briefly explains quests again.

“I don’t get it…” Maggie shows her clueless nature yet again.
“You don’t? Haven’t you heard of dnd? It’s like this…”

Now you briefly explain how tabletop gaming works.

“Uuh… And you guys find this kind of stuff like really fun instead of going out and do other stuff?” Maggie is not sold on it. Catastrovania looks down almost ashamed.
“Fiction and Roleplaying are entertaining, yes.” You say without an ounce of shame. It’s a hobby like any other. “We could say the same about the activities you enjoy, Maggie.”
“Well, I don’t know what this is like until we play. There is like a really good reason you two find this fun! So let’s do it!” Maggie has no clue what she’s getting into despite how much you two explain it to her.

“You’re right, i-it’s better to experience it! It’s my dark fantasy OC setting!” Catastrovania just wants to play immediately. “Ehem! In the magical land of…” Catastrovania shakes her head. “No, I forgot! We gotta do some chargen first!”
“What’s a cargwen…?” Maggie doesn’t get it.
“She wants us to create a character.” You explain.

“Wait, just one…?” Maggie doesn’t look pleased. “Can I have my own and Allie his? Wouldn’t that be better?”
“I’ll allow it! Two players making decisions is just begging for ties!” Catastrovania seems in a good mood now that Maggie seems into it. “Tiebreakers are no fun! Not that I get many votes anyway…”
“So this will be exactly like dnd.” You say.

“I’m doing something ultra-special and never done before for you two! A Super Quest! We’re breaking new ground!” Catastrovania boasts about. “And no! It’s not like dnd! It’s a quest! A dark fantasy quest! Here have some paper so you can write notes down! It’s important to follow the intricacies of the plot! You can do a quick character sheet with it if you want.” Catastrovania hands you two some paper and pencils.
“Allie, you know what you are doing, right? Why don’t you go first?” Maggie wants to follow your example.

You usually played an emotionless half-orc/golem/barbarian that valued his companions but never showed it until he died in an emotional moment. Your friends always loved that, but you’ve never played with these two before…

What’s your character going to be like?

Since you want to be having some plain old fun, you decided to play the most out-of-there character you can think of! Just to tease those two! You have the perfect idea:

“I want to be a half elf bard.” You respond with confidence. “I’m quite talkative and eccentric.”
“W-What’s your name?” Catastrovania wasn’t expecting that answer. Maggie raises her eyebrow as well.
“They know me by the name El Smooth.”

Maggie explodes into laughter. You’re not exactly sure why she finds it so funny. As Maggie regains her composure, Catastrovania asks her what her character is going to be. Maggie wasn’t sure what her options were, so your QM had to help her with examples. Now Maggie has a clear idea of what she wants:

“I want to be a super cool wizard human girl!” Maggie looks more excited than ever. “She’s a woman of few words, reserved and intelligent! Her name is Inelle!”
Catastrovania is shocked once again, she blinks quite a few times before starting to talk again. “T-That’s good! Ehem… Let’s start, shall we?”

[You’re slowly entering the quest…]

In the magical realm of Degophus! Where DARKNESS has fallen and crime has risen. HOPE seemingly has disappeared. The king of Icarus City was cursed and the only antidote for this curse is in his daughter’s hands! You two were embarked on a mission to save this princess, who was kidnapped by a beast into a giant EVIL castle of DARKNESS and crime.

You two are inside a carriage moving towards this castle…

“We’ve been here for a while and we haven’t heard each other's names! What kind of business partners are we? Let’s rectify that, name’s El Smooth. What’s yours?”
“I-Inelle…” The wizard girl fumbles her words.
“No need to be shy! Our lives are tied from now on, girl. We’re companions for life now!”

The carriage stops before you could check what’s outside. The horseman informs you this is as far as he’s going to get you. He hands over your beginner level equipment and some gold coins to spare, and thanks you for putting your lives in danger to save Icarus City. He takes his leave.

You still need to traverse the GLUM FOREST before getting to the GIANT EVIL CASTLE OF DARKNESS and crime. You feel the presence of CRUEL and BROODY creatures coming from inside the previously mentioned forest.

(Outside of game note: Maggie isn’t playing her character as decently as one would expect. She’s still talking in 3rd person for example. Catastrovania doesn’t seem to mind, but you know better!)

Obviously your objective is to lay down your charms on the trees! You start playing your music to a devastating effect as the trees are charmed by your abilities! Yes, half of the trees in the forest were creatures known as Treants! They helped you both across the forest safely and dropped you in front of the castle!

“Woooooah!” Inelle is one happy wizard. “I m-mean, hmph, that’s all you got?”

The castle is within your reach…!

(Outside of game note: Maggie found the interaction very amusing! But that isn’t helping get into the game just yet. Catastrovania looks a little irked you managed to skip of her campaign, despite this being her idea – she’s happy you went to the castle though.)

“I’ll show you how it’s done!” Irene shows her resolution! She creates a massive fireball and destroys the main door of the castle!
“I’m in awe of your abilities, but what’s really breathtaking is your beauty, Inelle!”
“F-Flattery won’t work on me, half-elf.” Inelle storms off and goes inside the castle alone!

You couldn’t let this pass, so you trailed behind her!

Inside the GIANT EVIL CASTLE OF DARKNESS and crime, both of you are welcomed by the MASTERMIND of CHAOS! The one who kidnapped the princess! Looking from the 2nd floor, you two see the DARK BEAST RETSIELA.

“Many of you fools have come far, but this is where it ends now! Hahaha!” The mask wearing half human and half monster says. “Just look around!”

You see DREAD and CORPSES all around! But more importantly a MINOTAURUS with a giant mace!

(Outside of game note: The moment you called Maggie’s character “a beauty” she stared at you emptily, then blinked a few times before continuing – making the interaction incredibly awkward. After that, she stopped talking in 3rd person.)

(Outside of game note: Catastrovania started smirking when he saw your nat 1.)

The moment you decided to use your Vicious Mockery, you felt one of the corpses grabs your leg, as you try to shake it off – the giant mace from the MINOTAUR smashes your head and makes it explode! You’re DEAD!

(Outside of game note: Maggie also rolled pretty badly. Catastrovania pretended to be disappointed, but you could see her vicious smile of satisfaction.)

Inelle in one desperate attempt to avenge her fallen partner tries to fire another fireball! But she was so distracted she didn’t notice the living corpses restraining her as well, covering her mouth in the process! The MINOTAUR grabs the defenseless witch and presents it to RETSIELA, who proclaims:

“With this spell, I’ll seal all your magical abilities! Now minions, drop her inside the prison cell with the princess! She will be my play toy from now on!” He laughs as a magical seal appears on Inelle’s tummy! “Now I hope you enjoy getting tickled for the rest of times! MUAHAHAHAHA!”

Sadly this is the end of the tale for our two heroes, but they weren’t the first to fail this mission before and sure won’t be the last!

The End?

[End of Quest]

It’s night again, you spend the whole day playing this campaign, you had a short bathroom and food breaks – but aside from that, it was all fantasy realm time!

“Woah! It can end just like that?!” Maggie got pretty into it at the end there, but now she’s heartbroken.
“Yep! Bad endings are a thing! That’s what Dark Fantasy is all about!” Catastrovania smiles.
“I’m sorry, Inelle…” Maggie seems pretty down now. Her character wasn’t smashed on the skull with a fuckin’ mace, what’s she complaining about?

“D-Did you guys l-like it?” Catastrovania seems eager to hear your opinions, almost with a childlike attitude. You don’t think she’s going to be too keen on criticism.

“It was fun. I liked it. Good job, Cat.” One little part of you enjoyed this, so you think it’s something to write home about.
Catastrovania visibly rise under your praise. You take the chance to headpat her for morale. She reacts better than expected! “T-thanks! But this is n-nothing! Still, I t-think this is one of my best so far. I was testing some risky stuff, like I didn’t know how you were going to react with a bad ending… But it all went well!”

With this mentioned you both turn to Maggie, who judging by her face, isn’t exactly reassuring for an “it all went well” scenario Catastrovania is depicting.

“I wish I got the hang of it sooner, maybe Inelle would’ve survived…” Maggie is disappointed in herself.
“There, there…” You tap her on her shoulder and hug her by the side. You didn’t think she would react like this.
“You didn’t like it…?” Catastrovania shyly moves away.

“No! I did like it! I just got too attached…” Maggie blushes.
Catastrovania looks astonished, it feels like this is the first time someone got super passionate about something she wrote – so her face is showing a mixture of joy and surprise. “This is cool…”

“This is not cool! I look like a super idiot right now!” Maggie doesn’t like Cat’s comments. She briefly checks her phone for the first time since the whole session began. “Ohmygosh! Look at the time!”
“Time to go to sleep, girls. Remember our routine.” You acknowledge it is pretty late now.
“I get to go jogging all morning! I get to play these tabletop things! I get all sappy! What are you two doing to me…? Sheesh…” Maggie pouts.

“I-I’m s-sorry…” Catastrovania apologizes.
“Take a hint, Catastrovania Strifaust Morituros IX! I never said I wasn’t having fun! You should’ve said ’it’s good for you’ or ’I didn’t see you complaining before’” It’s the first time Maggie talks to Cat like that, despite hoq she bugs you like that all the time.
“Pfftt… I foresaw that response ages ago and decided not to play your petty games!” Catastrovania goes back to being weird. Both girls are smiling at least.

What are you planning to do tomorrow after your morning exercises?

>Work at the bar again.

(Forgot to add: You gained +2 Charisma Experience Points for successfully playing a DnD campaign.)

Before making a decision about what to do tomorrow, you decided to check social media to see what’s going on in Laoling and if the cursed video is still being circulated. Hold on… Catastrovania was going to tell you something about that before Spectralhound attacked you yesterday. You asked her now.

“I-I didn’t t-totally forget or… or… or anything!” Catastrovania does another fake laugh as she starts searching for the information on her phone. “In all major platforms the video was taken down for graphic violence and stuff.” Cat gives the bad news.
“It didn’t create any ruckus or something?”
“Seems to have given bad rep to your favorite guy, the Aleister guy.”

“You mean Retsiela?”
“W-What do you mean? Hohoho…” Catastrovania plays dumber than usual. “Whatever commotion was created, it already faded away – too quickly I might add. There are some comments complaining about deleted posts, so it's likely it got some fuss but we missed it…”

“Maggie, anything on your end?” You ask the ditsy girl, she’s the gossipy one after all.
“Naah…” Maggie disappoints you. Not even with Aleister involved? You thought her school was all over him, maybe they somehow managed to hide it. But how? That doesn't matter for now.

“Before we call the day. Maggie, tomorrow you decide what we do. Can’t take all day though, I need to go to work.” You want to work at the bar tomorrow.
“Sweet! I’ll come up with something!” Maggie giggles in excitement. All for morale…

And so it was time for you to sleep…

[DAY 10/TUESDAY]

You gained +2 Fitness experience points for doing your morning exercises.

Your new morning routine was a breeze again and this time you only needed to briefly carry one of them back! Maggie was able to complete the full course, but Catastrovania gave up 3/4 in it, it’s her new record! You’re proud of the girls’ efforts! Morale is something you need to put attention to if these are going to be the results you’re netting from now on.

The unoriginal Maggie couldn’t come up with something interesting to do, so you're going on a trip to the beach! It seems like last time none of the girls had fun in the water, Maggie was busy earning money somehow and Catastrovania was enjoying drawing...

For some reason, Maggie made you go alone first with the stuff. So you’re waiting here on the sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating and it’s everywhere. The day seems pretty good for a nice day on the beach, and not many people are here right now, so that’s good…

Finally, both girls appeared wearing their swimsuits. Maggie is prancing around with a smile on her face, while Catastrovania shyly tries not to gather any attention.

>>3622665

“So what do you think?” Maggie spins around to give you a nice look.

What do you respond?

>“Looking good, Maggie.”
>“Looking cute there, Cat.”

“Looking cute there, Cat.” Engage teasing. Maybe a double play if Maggie gets mad for ignoring her.
“Ngh…! Ah? Ah? Aaaah?!” Catastrovania’s entire face turns red as she’s panicking. “Nnnaaah!” All of a sudden she kicks the sand onto your face!

“Aagh…” Right in the eyes, shit. You don’t deserve this. “God damn it…”
“Hahaha!” Maggie starts laughing.
“My eyes… Can’t see shit…” It hurts. You blink quickly, trying to regain your sight, but it’s not working...

“I-I’m s-sorry!” Catastrovania apologizes as she now realizes the damage she’s done. Maggie hands Cat a water bottle to help you out.

After this little incident, you asked Maggie what the plan is. She smiled and told you “to enjoy the beach, silly.” Then dragged you both to the sea. You want to jump over the waves, but the girls preferred playing somewhere they can still stand. Shame.

Splash wars look way entertaining in media than in real life, it’s like for some reason the goddamn salt water keeps falling on your eyes. Obviously, your horrendous team is 2v1ing you, you overcame this difference through sheer determination.

Eventually Catastrovania got tired (as expected) and wants to go back for a towel, there is no stopping her at this point. Maggie pouts expecting her to put more effort into playing more.

What do you do?

>Stay and ask Maggie what she wants to do next. It’s her activity after all.

“I’ve never seen someone get tired that quickly.” Maggie is in awe at Catastrovania’s grandma stamina.
“Hey, what do we do now?” You obviously would destroy her if you keep playing splash wars, so you need to do something else.
“Uuh… Do you think Catastrovania Strifaust Morituros IX would want to come with us for some ice cream?” Maggie wonders. “I want some! Besides I love when you pamper me!”

“You don’t need to call her by her full name when she’s not around.” You look at Catastrovania barely moving near your stuff. “Regardless, I have my doubts…”
“Bleh, then like let’s wait for later.” Maggie doesn’t seem to mind.
“Now that I think about it, there is still ice cream at home so it won’t be necessary.” Your cabin is closer than the store anyway.

“Booo! I knew you would say something like that, Allie!” Maggie pouts.
“Hey, hey… We don’t have too much money to spare...”
“You’re right…” Maggie looks rather sad. This activity was to raise morale and it’s not rising! “Let’s walk around the beach instead. Just the two of us, there is something I want to talk about…”
“Sure.”

You two start walking around the beach, the waves keep hitting you on the feet. It’s a little annoying.

“What do you want to talk about?”
“I’m gonna be honest, the last few days I’ve tried to talk about this, but each time… I like… get very afraid.” Maggie is getting strangely serious for the situation you’re in. “So promise me you won’t get mad at me, alright? Like I’m super serious! This is no joke! I-If you get mad I’ll s-stab you too!”

What do you respond?

“I promise I won’t retaliate or seek revenge.” That should be good enough.
“…I just don’t want you to hate me.” Maggie doesn’t like your deal.
“Take it or leave it.” You won’t compromise.

“You always have to put me on edge, huh?” Maggie tries to smile but you can feel the hopelessness. “Sure, Allie. I’ll take it...”
“So what is it?”
“Did you ever found out who told everyone...?” Maggie looks away, but musters the courage to look at you again. “About your mom…?”

Almost 10 years ago, when you were still a kid, two weeks before mother’s day, you and your three friends were coming back from school.

When you went inside your home that day, you saw your mother hanging from the ceiling… your mother…

Your mother killed herself.

Your friends saw it too, they all panicked and ran away. You didn’t blame them… If you could, you would have too. But you just stood there, staring at your mother lingering over the floor, she looked lonely so you felt like you had to stay with her. Several hours later, your dad came back and dealt with everything properly…

Dad pretended in front of everyone your mother just had a heart attack, no one knew the truth but you, your father and your friends.

In a bizarre way, this became a pact between you and your friends. You didn’t want anyone to know the truth, it was too personal, it wasn’t something you wanted to share. You all agreed, they weren’t going to tell their parents either, it became the biggest secret all of you were going to keep.

You don’t remember her funeral. You barely remember what happened at all at that point. What you can recall was your friends coming to visit you every day despite your zombie-like attitude, they did everything they could to cheer you up and managed somehow. It was almost magical. In a week, you were thinking you could continue going. It was almost like nothing changed…

But a few days later after your reintegration, your dumbass teacher wanted everyone to make a present for Mother’s Day. All your friends simultaneously turned to you horrified when they heard it, but you didn’t mind, you wanted to make this present. This random ornament with her name on it.

>>3623083

Your dad told you your mother’s death was his fault and no one else’s. He didn’t take care of your mother properly, he let her feel lonely, and when your brain can’t keep up with it loneliness takes you away from your loved ones. That’s all bullshit to you now, but when you were a kid it resonated with you.

If she felt so lonely, it was your fault too, not only your dad’s. You wanted to amend for making your mother feel that way, so you wanted to give her a gift for her grave. To remind her even though she isn’t here with you, she doesn’t have to be lonely because you will always think of her and one day you’ll be together in heaven.

So the teacher made everyone work in pairs so everyone can share their stuff. Despite being the son of the owner of a convenience store, you didn’t have much to offer (thanks dad), so your partner was furious and complained to the teacher. Her name was Siske, a snobby good-for-nothing bitch. There was no better way to put it…

Siske kept screaming about not wanting to share with you to your teacher, how unfair it was she had to be with you! That anyone but you will be better! How everything she will give you will be wasted!

Your teacher, tired of her nagging, told her one day maybe you will return the favor, and to think this isn’t a present for him, but for your mother – she interrupted him with these words:

“It would be a waste, isn’t his mother dead?!” The annoyed Siske yelled back.

The room went completely silent. The teacher didn’t know what to say, he stared at you trying to decipher your expression to tell if this is true or not. But you instead stood up for yourself despite the lingering sensation that something was wrong.

“So what? I want to give her a present anyway!”

Siske cruelly smirked at you and said:

“Didn’t she kill herself? Why would she want anything from you?”

You remember being overflown by rage as she started laughing, you wanted to shut her stupid face up. You took the pen you were holding and stabbed her on the hand. It felt good, it felt really good. Blood started to come out of her hand as she hysterically started screaming…

It didn’t dawn on you until this horrendous cacophony started… But how did she know? Who told her? Your friends betray you…?

While the teacher took Siske away to the infirmary, you turn to see your friends that were as puzzled as you are, they looked at each other like their eyes could reveal who the culprit was…

But you never knew... Even after talking about it, none of them admitted it, even after you begged them to you the truth so you could trust them again, but nothing. You still were friends, but it was never going to be the same… From that point, you weren’t willing to open up with someone who wasn’t your father ever again...

Oh, also you got suspended for that. But who gives a shit at this point?

“No. I never did.” Judging by her face, it wasn’t the response she wanted to hear. “Does it matter? I would have ended up the same either way. My friends and I drifted apart in the end. Nothing ever changes.”
“T-That’s like super sad.” Maggie looks concerned. “But…”
“But what?”

Maggie is uncomfortable. She stops walking all of a sudden, looks away then back at you. “But are you sure you really don’t want to find out?”
You stop walking as well. “Maggie…” You give her a stern look, you just told her it doesn’t matter. It was so long ago, it’s kind of ridiculous to bring this up to them and try to find the truth after all these years.

“D-Don’t forget your promise…!” Maggie looks afraid of you, she makes a step back for her own security.
“Are you really that afraid of me you need to keep saying that…?” You don’t get it at this point. It’s tiresome. Perhaps building trust with her was a waste of time.
“Allie, I-I’m s-s-sorry. You know I’m stupid sometimes…” A guilty Maggie responds. “B-But I’m asking ‘cause I know who did it. Do you want to know…?”

…?

“Tell me, please.” Those words came out with a bitter taste. “No, I’m not going to ask or demand the answer, tell me when you want to tell me.”
“Allie…” Maggie’s look of pity is not something you’ve seen before.
“Don’t stay there, let’s keep walking.” It already feels awkward as it is.

“Uuh, right…” Maggie gets by your side. “Allie, all of them did. Well, kinda…”

Not the answer you were expecting but the one you were assuming for so long, it doesn’t create the shock anyone normal would’ve expected from you.

“…” You barely react like previously stated.
“I was at the park that day ‘cause my house was locked again, I was playing by the seesaw when I saw all your friends running and panicking. I approached them because I had like absolutely nothing to do. They grabbed me before I could say hi and asked me if I knew a doctor or some shit, that Allie’s mom was in trouble, that she was hanging from the ceiling… I didn’t get it at all, so all I could do was stare at them... Then they ran off, don’t know where... I was pretty confused.” Maggie explains. “Next day, you all four were absent… I was still really curious, so I asked my friends if they knew what happened to you all…”

You don’t like where this is going.

“Didn’t know a thing either! So I asked them what happens when a person hangs from the ceiling. Siske asked what I was talking about, and I explained what happened with your friends. The day after that I think Siske put two and two together…” Maggie looks down. “Later, after your incident with Siske, we were the ones who spread the information around the school, it was like our payback. It was until a couple of years ago when your friends confronted me that I really like understood what I’ve done... Since then I’ve been trying to say sorry to you, but I’m kinda like a coward… But after being bullied I like understood how you felt, so that was when I was set on apologizing. But when we saw each other again, I felt too awkward and scared. So I wanted to be closer to you. Pretend we were friends, so you wouldn’t hurt me when I told you the truth. That’s it. I’m sorry, Allie! Please don’t hate me!!!”

Maggie is now panicking but keeping still, like waiting for her sentence to be dictated.

What do you do?

>“So you play "pretend to be my friend" just to apologize? How is that different from lying the whole time? Did you even think this through? Maggie, you’re awful and it has nothing to do with what happened in the past.”
>“You were worried I was going to do something to you, huh? That’s really was this is all about, right? I won’t hurt you, I don’t care about you.”
>“I don't forgive you, Maggie. But I'll keep my promise.”
>“I don't understand why you bothered doing all this.”
>“Maggie, I don’t know if you’re stupid or brave. But let me tell you something: I don’t hate you. Now let's go for some ice cream.”

>>3625404
>“I don't understand why you bothered doing all this and I don't forgive you, Maggie. But I'll keep my promise.”

>>3625404
Oh fuck. How the fuck do you deal with something like this? I like Maggie, and I think Al likes Maggie too, but I dunno if he’d just forgive her immediately for a fuck up of this magnitude. But the dude’s usually pretty calm and rational, but also seems to get really heated when it comes to family matters.

>>3625404
Also
>Pretend we were friends
What? Is this all fake or real? I think that the friendship is real but god fucking damn.

>>3625404
>Can I have some time alone to think about this?
My gut instinct is that Al would say something like this, cause he needs to process the truth and decide where he stands on it.

>>3625404
>Can I have some time alone to think about this?

Maggie fucked up pretty bad but let’s think on this.

>>3625431
Yeah. Seriously this isn’t something you just forgive on the spot.

>>3625404
I also vote for reassuring her that we won’t attack her for this. Al certainly has vengeful feelings towards those who have wronged him, but she seems apologetic, and she certainly didn’t have to tell us this. Let’s just have him ask for time to think on forgiving her

“Can I have some time alone to think about this?” You want to make a rational decision.
“Allie, I… It’s not like… You see I… I wasn’t… I wasn’t…” Maggie is panicking now.
“Please.”

Maggie quietly nods as her words didn’t make any sense. She looks at you go, with a face full of regret.

You start walking away, without looking back at her again, towards the cabin. Catastrovania has a copy of the keys with the rest of the stuff so you won’t lock them out. You have your own copy you got from the landlord yesterday…

You take a cold shower inside and put on some normal clothes. This hasn’t given you the time to think, in fact, this was the first shower you couldn’t form any thoughts within – something is off in your mind. What’s wrong with you?

After your mother’s tragic death, you recall your father passing extensive time at work, he always said it helped ease his mind. Not sure if that’s going to work with you, all you can think of was what happened and… Beating the crap out of Aleister. But that’s a given…

What do you do now?

Work will do. You decided to go to The Flux again… You walk there thinking it would help ease your mind, all it did was remind you that you prefer jogging and this town is nothing special.

The Flux looks more or less the same as last time, with Camilo at the counter preparing for a new shift, moving boxes and bottles around.

“Nice to see you again. I thought Laetitia scared you for good!” Camilo jokes.
“A job is a job.”
“Indeed. Would be nice if we could be picky, haha.” Camilo chuckles. “But it’s rather nice to have someone dependable around here, I know you didn’t come working yesterday, but Mondays are slow days anyway.”

“And Tuesdays are not?”
“It’s up to the owner to decide in all honesty.” Camilo’s distant stare tells the whole story. “So change in the back! Oh, almost forgot, first tell me what shift you are planning on doing, to see if I should teach some extra drinks or not. If Laetitia doesn’t come here today, you’ll have to deal with the VIP reservation we have today.”

What shift do you pick?

>Time for a regular Bartender job today. Not as much pay as working with the important people, but less taxing.
>You’re basically friends with the owner by now, so the important shift it is! You need to hoard as many funds as possible.

On another note, if we're planning on staying here for any longer than 10 days we might as well cut down on costs and rent the apartment. We were gonna get out of here after a couple days of fun and replenishing our funds though right? And, when we get back, we should just ask Maggie if she considers herself our friend.

>>3625663
I honestly can't see us spending more than a week here. Tops

“I’ll deal with Laetitia again.” You’re basically friends at this point anyway.
“I know she will love to hang out with you. She’s been very upbeat since your encounter the other day, but don’t take it for granted, it’s only been a couple of days.” Despite his warning, he looks rather happy just thinking about that. “Still, we need to practice a couple of new drinks, Laetitia might be a foolish customer – but I have a hunch our VIP isn’t going to be as lenient.” Camilo smiles as he takes some bottles to start practicing the enigmatic arts of mixing drinks

After your practice, you changed into your uniform (?). Shortly afterwards, the bar officially open for the day. You helped Camilo with the regular clientele with no issues, until the VIP clients arrived.
It’s a couple; a strange looking individual, you cannot make out how old he is, he doesn’t look too comfortable around his date, a pushy out-of-shape girl that is vaguely familiar to you. The girl went to the bathroom before you could examine her further. The man sighs as he sits in front of you and the barstool…

Before your client says anything, you remind yourself that making your client’s happy will net you more tips…

“Salutations…” The man said with a high pitched voice. “Oh, you’re new...” He looks even more dejected now.
“Good afternoon, sir. Is there anything troubling you?” You politely ask.
“I’m in quite a pickle… But how rude of me, let me introduce myself, my name is Ugolino.”
“I’m Alfred, sir.”

“Alfred, I need your help. You probably weren’t informed of this, but I’m not your regular drinking enthusiast...”
“I understand you’re a VIP client, sir.”
“Yes, but that’s not what I’m getting at.” Ugolino shakes his head. “If you help me out, I promise a hefty pay.” You nod before pressing him to explain himself even further. “It’s about my date, you see. I’m terrible at judging women. She’s quite attached to me right now, but I fear it is only because of my little fortune I’ve gathered. As you can see I’m not what you would call a hunk...”

More like a skunk. “Apologies, it’s not pertinent of me to comment on such things.”
“Yet this is why I need you. I’m quite a shy man as well, so canceling this date at this point is impossible for me. So the plan I’ve always gone for here is to intoxicate my date so I can leave unscathed. With alcohol, of course. I’ll pay before leaving as well, so don’t worry about that. This isn’t my first rodeo here.”
“…” You silently judge him for a few seconds then say: “Quite talkative for a shy man, sir.”
“Well, you haven’t seen me drunk! I get out of my shell quite a bit.”

“So you want me to get your date drunk?”
“Well yes and no. Depends. It’s up to you! I believe in a stranger’s judgment better than mine. If you think she’s not a problem, please serve me as many drinks as you want – but if you feel she’s quite poisonous… Well…” He gives you piercing glance, then suddenly relaxes. “You’re new and we didn’t discuss this on time, so I don’t want you to put you on the spot like that.”
“That’s already too late, sir.”
He sighs loudly again in response.

Seemingly on cue, his date appears and sits next to him, now you give her a good look and you recognize her now. The extra weight threw you off but that’s Siske, no doubt about it by the looks of her hand, she’s so focused on flirting with Ugolino she hasn’t even recognized you…

What’s the plan now?

“What would you like to drink?” Can’t serve them without knowing.
“Whatever Ugolino is drinking!” Siske doesn’t seem to be paying any attention to you still, pressing her body towards the weird looking guy.
“Uhm… Just beer for now.” Ugolino is not reciprocating Siske’s affection but he’s blushing slightly, he’s more concerned on how you’re going to deal with this than anything.
“Don’t tell me we came here just to drink the ol’ fashioned way? Well, that’s the down-to-earth Ugolino that I know and love!” Those backhanded compliments tell you she hasn’t changed one bit.

“Yes, sir.” You grab the biggest glass you have and a regular one, it’s pretty obvious what goes to who.

You serve them their drinks. Both are astonished at the side of the glass of beer you gave to Siske, you’re using the leverage of the drink to hide yourself from her, so she doesn’t recognize you...

“What’s with the humongous side…?” Despite the indignant tone of her voice, Siske is salivating at the sight of this magnificent beer.
“Mr. Ugolino wanted to show you he wasn’t being cheap with his selection.” You clarify. Ugolino is caught off guard by your comment.
“I-Is that right? You don’t want to get scammed by a lowlife bartender in the middle of nowhere…”
“Y-Yes…” Ugolino sounds far more timid responding to Siske’s question than when he talked to you.

“D’Awww, you didn’t have to! But I love when you give me stuff!” She kisses Ugolino in the cheek. Ugolino seems over the moon now. “Let’s enjoy ourselves now! Wooo!" Siske starts drinking without a second thought.
“Y-Yes…” Ugolino sounds like a broken record as he takes a sip of his normal-sized beer.

Siske suddenly stopped once 1/5 of her drink has gone inside her body. She tensed up for a second and that’s what make her stop drinking.

“Why aren’t you drinking more?” Siske wonders to break the ice.
“I’m w-waiting for an important business call before I c-can go all out…” Again, right on cue, Ugolino’s phone starts ringing. “Excuse me for a second, Sissy!” He storms out to the bathroom.

Siske’s bubbly fake smile dissipates as soon as Ugolino is gone, she turns to you pouting.

“Hmph, you thought I wouldn’t recognize you, right?” Siske looks pissed. “What’s up with the drink? What are you scheming?”

What do you respond?

“I just follow orders.” Not a lie.
“Yeah, like he would come out with something this fishy.” Siske ain’t buying it.
“Ask Mr. Ugolino, he’s the one that’s spoiling you.” You dryly respond. “In my opinion, Mr. Ugolino actually is trying to be kind with you.”

“Of course he is...” Siske glares at you. Nope, she’s buying nothing of what you’re saying. “Just be professional today, alrighty? I’m not trying to get on your bad side today.”
“So tell me, what do you actually think about that guy?”
“Pffft… Yeah… Not. Gonna. Tell. Ya. If Ugolino wants to hear it, those words need to come out of my mouth, Allie.” She sounds as spiteful as ever. “Unlike my friends, I know when to shut up.”

Just by saying that she’s giving you a lot of information, you don’t need to be smart to read the title of a book…

“Now take this thing away from me, I can barely hold it in my hands. Give me something decent now.” Siske wants another drink.

After taking the beer away, you decided to give Siske a sugary drink – so she doesn’t get suspicious.

“Looks fairly normal…” Siske gives it a good look, then drinks it – looked like she enjoyed it. “Ugh, that’s a total DUD. So sugary I think you gave my teeth cavities… Not great, Allie. Try harder.”
“Do you want another one?” This would help Ugolino and “redeem” yourself.
“How, from everything I just told you, do you infer I want another one of those?” Siske pouts. “I can tell you are new at this. So slow, so sloppy.”

“My mistake.” You try to be as professional as you can.
“…Not getting angry? No backhanded comments? Nothing you want to throw at me? I’m all ears.” Siske just said she didn’t want to be on your bad side, but now she’s pushing your buttons.
You just shrug in response.

“Woah, look at you, a complete professional.” Siske’s smile is all but real. “Pathetic that your meticulously made drink is worse than regular beer though, ruins the charade you’re trying to keep up.”

As you were thinking about asking Siske again what she wants, Ugolino is back!

“Welcome back!” Siske is smiling again, trying her best to look cute.
“H-Hi, what did you d-drink?”
“Oh, something as sweet as my smile!”
“That’s good…” Ugolino smiles and stares at you, like he thinks you’re taking a liking to Siske, a misunderstanding really. He drinks the rest of his beer pretty fast…

“Another one please!” He sounds more confident now.
“Woohoo!” Siske seems to one an extra drink as well.

“I suppose your date wants a drink as well?”
“Oh…” Ugolino stares at you a little more serious for a second, you didn’t do anything special but it appears he got the clue. “Yes! How rude of me. Serve her first!”
“Apologies, I’m fairly new and still need some time to remember patrons' preferences.”

“I’m a simple guy, so I’m always up for some beer. But my pancake here… Uhm… I seem to have forgotten. Can you tell me what it was again?” Ugolino looks at the plump woman. He isn’t nervous anymore.
“T-That won’t b-be necessary! J-Just give me a regular drink…” Siske appears slightly nervous as she tries to hide it with a smile.

“Nonsense. I want my beautiful lady to have the best of the best.”
“If you wanted that we wouldn’t be here…” Siske throws a shade at the bar.
“Excuse me…?” Ugolino looks fairly offended.
“I m-meant I’m trying to make you happy sweetheart! I don’t care what I drink here!” Siske’s fake smile is good enough to charm the ugly man again.

“I’m curious now, what drink is it?” You intervene now.
Siske wanted to cut you off, but Ugolino realized something: “I remember! It’s a Gin Fizz, right?”
“…Y-Yes.” An embarrassed Siske starts drooling, she tries to hide her face – but it’s already too late.

“Then the biggest Gin Fizz you can make and some good old beer, please!” Ugolino places his order. Siske seems eager for her drink like a child waiting for Christmas, she’s not hiding it anymore! But there is a problem…

You don’t know how to make Gin Fizz.

“Sadly, I don’t know how to make this drink.” You are honest.
“What a bummer! Honestly, this is terrible! This is supposed to be VIP service, right? Ugolino, why are you doing business in this joint? We should go back to the hotel and have some real fun…” Siske kisses the man on the neck, he turns to her and Siske jiggles her breasts to charm him! Ugolino is in trance, but you break the spell:
“I do know who can make it. Please hold on for a second.” You smirk as Ugolino shakes his head and turns back to normal. Siske wasn’t one bit pleased.

You went for Camilo and asked him the favor! Good thing he was free to lend a hand. Ugolino and Camilo know each other so they have a little chat as Camilo was getting the ingredients ready, nothing out of the ordinary.

Camilo took the opportunity to teach how to do it as well: a Gin Fizz is a simple drink, a mix of gin, lemon, sugar, egg and soda. It’s not a small drink at all.

Since you were following step-by-step on how he was doing it in another glass, well, you have two Gin Fizzes for Siske...

“It’s good to know they still have someone reliable.” Ugolino looks pleased with Camilo’s help to your detriment.
“Please, this is Alfred’s 2nd shift, don’t be too hard on him.” Camilo seems like a nice guy.
“Apologies, ignore my thoughtless comments. Indeed, the service has been superb.” Ugolino feels bad about what he said.
“No need to apologize, sir.” You respond by staying professional, after dealing with Siske this is nothing in comparison.

“Here is your drink, madam.” Camilo hands it to Siske. She just rudely takes it… “Uh… I’ll be in the front now, enjoy your drink.” Camilo left a little irked after that.
“Hey Pancake, you don’t need to act like that…” Ugolino is slightly concerned by his partner’s attitude. He’s drinking the beer you serve him.

Siske is just staring at her drink. “Ugolino… I’m sorry… It’s just…” She starts chugging her drink very quickly without finishing her sentence.
“Hey babe. If something is bothering you, please tell me…” Ugolino sounds far more understanding than his cowardly self did not too long ago.
As Siske finishes her drink, she stays put for a second then her drunk rant begins: “Ugolino… Why the fuck don’t you even listen to me? I know it’s been just a month, but you know I’m fucking perfect for you… I let you do whatever you want, like just look at me… isn’t it time for you to do the same?” She now drinks the Gin Fizz you made. She sits on Ugolino’s lap, the man in question is paralyzed and red as a tomato. Siske is officially really drunk now! “Get serious… Let’s go to the bathroom and…” She starts giggling.

As Ugolino continues to be groped by Siske, you make the quickest Gin Fizz you’ve ever made, not much of an accomplishment if you take into account this is the second one you made. Either way, it’s time to fool the thick girl away from the skinny fellow.

“Siske, here’s another Gin Fizz…”
“Can’t you see I’m busy…?” Siske barks back. She turns and sees the fabulous drink you made, without a second thought she takes it from you and starts chugging it... “Nice…” Siske’s eyes are barely open… She stops struggling and is losing balance on Ugolino. The ugly man takes this chance and carries her to the unoccupied Karaoke couch a little way behind them. Siske at this point is more asleep than awake. Feels like the mission is complete.

“ZzZzZZzzz…” Siske is asleep. It’s a total victory.
“Hey… Thanks…” Ugolino is a little bit drunk as well. “I’m a little torn with what just happened, the other 2 girls I dated weren’t as committed as she was. Siske really did let me do everything I wanted and agreed to my most outlandish requests. She wore the clothes I wanted, I picked her hairstyle, her style of make-up and she even gained weight for me. But she wanted to settle down after a month, always had her nose in my business ventures, and almost stole my credit card… In the end, I couldn’t trust her. But I’m gonna miss that sexy body.” Ugolino explains way too late… “Anyway, The Flux never disappoints… I’m gonna leave now. How much do I owe you?”

Ugolino pays for the drinks and a hefty, hefty, HEFTY tip. You got 3000 bucks!

You gained +2 Charisma Experience Points for dealing with these two.

You gained +3 Courage Experience Points for dealing with Siske without getting angry.

“T-Thanks.” That’s too much money for what you did. Or maybe not. Who knows?
“I’m sorry it’s not enough…” Ugolino apologizes. “But here, this is my number. You seem reliable, so if you need any help, just call.”
“Alright.” This is neat. “So what do I do with your date?”
“I don’t know. I always let you guys handle that…”

“I’ll ask around…” This isn’t the first drunk at the bar, so there must be a protocol.
“…Thank you again.” Ugolino leaves the bar.

Shift is done basically.
