TIAMAT

[The lights dim and you are no longer in a classroom, but a low key bar. An older gentleman from behind the counter is looking at you as if waiting for your next order. La Torre's voice comes from nowhere in particular:]

Let's pick up where we left all, shall we? You are sitting in a bar. Why are you drinking?

Wha--you're here too, Arthur?

W-well... okay then.

Hope you know that I'm here to win, even if I have to work with you.

Of course. You're a good person, so it's normal that you'd work with me.

[And you know. Not stab me in the kidney. Probably. Just gonna go back to looking at the desk now.]

So, we should figure out that first answer.

[well, the objective is to destroy the kidney with alcohol. . . ]

Do you even drink?

[isnt that the liver??]

Not normally... I can't stomach it. But I'll make an exception this time.

That's okay, right?

[I'M NOT A DOCTOR]

Pass out, and I'll draw on your face with a marker.

That's kind of mean.

Well, I guess I can try to wake you up if you get knocked out.

I think I can handle myself.

Anyway - why are we drinking?

Because that's what the rules say to do.

Right?

Can't win without following the rules. All right.

So...

Um.

How've you been?

Annoyed. The competitions were exciting at first, but it looks like you don't win even if you put your whole being into it.

Sometimes that's how it works.

S-still, we might get lucky.

We're not the winningest team. Sorry.

. . .

[fuck my life]

[Patting you on a shoulder.]

W-we'll do our best.

I think drinking might be a good idea right now anyways.

I-if I can hold it down.

[SON, I AM TALLER THAN YOU]

You are not passing out if it's the last thing I do!

[HEAVEN OR HELL LET'S ROCK]

It's not passing out I'm worried about.

I don't... erm... drink.

Ever.

Then don't throw up!

I'll... try.
