It has been a little bit less than an hour since me and Ruby parted ways. And the day was still young. How to entertain myself? Let’s mark what we did today:

Having a new underground company established? Checked – we wait only for materials. Making our lovely Ruby lower her guard a little? Checked. Having a cheesecake with coffee? Checked (as for now, it is the best part of the day, and it has a nice position to become the best event of the week) Preparing for a revenge so evil, that the devil may cry? – Meh, as soon as I will find a good idea to have a little fun, I will do it, for now, lack of ideas….

How to play with Ruby? For this is what I swore.

And I am not going to stop, till her life begins to burn… Crap, that was way to creepy. Let’s stay with a few pranks for now?

“I am the fly in your soup, I am the pebble in your shoe.” I begin to sing quietly. “I am the pea beneath your bed, I am bump on every head…”

I was leaving the area, heading to the guild while avoiding as many sources of noise as possible… I definitely need to find another way to the café. Having cake with coffee is fine and dandy, but why do I need to suffer just to get it? Bitterness makes sweetness even more enjoyable… but I still would prefer to not puke right after eating it.

I was lost in my song, I have barely stopped myself from entering doors of the guild with a wild kick, as I finished the song.

“…I am lying through my teeth! Your tears are all the pay I’ll ever need.”

I took a breath and went inside, right after I did that, a powerful hand was laid upon my shoulder.

“Ho-ho, let’s see who decided to get back into the Guild?! Aaah, our sweet little Marika is simply not enough for you? I understand, fear not, I was young once too! Ah, I still remember I had so much love inside of me, that one woman simply couldn’t hold all of it.” Anatoly, was leading me in the direction of the counter. “Come, come. We will have a nice, manly drinking session! And then, you will tell old Anatoly, what is on your heart.” The giant man was talking all the time he forced me to sit in front of him, and poured mugs for both of us. “Anatoly, Actually this whole situation is a little miss…” “Sha! Young one! First – a drink.” He forced the mug into my hand “Now, cheers! For a wonderful friendship that is about to be bound!”

I actually prefer to drink slowly, you know? I tried to convince Anatoly about that… well, let’s just say, that I deserve a cookie for my effort.

“Actually I am trying to tell you that…” “Now we will drink for all the living in this cruel world! Let’ em find love!”

Another round…

“The situation you are describing is a little…” “NOW! For our wives and lovers! We hope that they would never find out about each other… MWAHAHA! Cheers!”

The alcohol slowly started taking effect on me.

“Now, kiddo, you will tell me the whole story, from beginning till the end!” Finally… “But first, let’s have a drink!” Fuck

I poured another cup down my throat. As I was about to start speaking, someone sat next to us.

“Ho, Anatoly, you are drinking quite early today…” “It’s cuz’ the reason is serious! Just imagine, this young lad before us, is having a lovely affair…” “Just as the young usually do…” “With two beautiful ladies at the same time!” “Whaa?! That’s a score kiddo! So nice to be young!” “If you wouldn’t mind, I would love to tell you how it actually is…” Those rumors started to annoy me… “MWAHAHA! Great! Great! But first, Gervase! You are a few beers short, better catch up quickly, for we are not going to slow down! Catch the mug kid!”

… Disturb me one more time and, I swear, that blood will be shed…

“Uah, One knows no life, if he never tried a beer in the adventure guild” Anatoly said happily. “Now, gentlemen, allow me to declare, that I am not going to drink any more beer… till you would let me say my part, for I am afraid, that one more beer may be my doom.” Even if my head was getting dizzy, I was still not even halfway to getting drunk. But… if you know any better way to stop them from mumbling all the time, tell me, tell me now!!! “Whoa! Easy kiddo! We understand it! No need to say just a threat! We are hearing you right now.” “So gather here, this is a wonderful story, about love, betrayal and retribution!” … okay, I will admit it. I was getting a bit more than dizzy.

It didn’t take me long to convince them, that the woman I just met, was but a friend, and actually I wish to start playing a trick over a trick, yet I am currently out of ideas.

Actually a few nice ideas were given to me! (I especially liked an idea about cooking a hell tone of candy, with one or two “extra”… you gave them at the party with that one person, and you make sure for those extra cookies lay on the plate of our person… because those sweets were “special”… two days would be lost in the bathroom…. Yisss… that’s a nice start…)

The other problem was, that the part about “love, betrayal and retribution” I said in a theatrical voice. And as Anatoly said:

“Ohh, ya got a nice voice! Have you even considered, being an actor?”

And my foolish respond was:

“Pwahahah! If you find that cheesy line performed nicely, you should, one day, hear me sing.”

… Aaaand yes. I am standing on the table. Yes, a few more adventurers came back, and get drunk. And once again, yes. They drunk amok were chanting “Zari, Zari”. Haha, what the fuck did I get myself involved into!? Who cares, one more beer, and here we go… what would be sufficient? Ave Maria? Meh. Drunken Sailor song? Well… everyone is surly in a nice mood for a song like that… but it’s too simple… yet hey! We are heading into the right direction! What if the song, that is in party rhythm, yet have some nice story behind it? Well, This one… okay, it will do

“Gather weary travelers,

I have a tale to tell,

It might just save your life but only if you listen well,

‘Cause there before the breakers,

And just around the way…

There’s a sign… that says “Beware… … the beast of Pirate’s Bay!”

1st Song – Voltaire when you’re evil (It is impossible u don’t know it. I simply do not take such option into consideration)

2nd song – Voltaire – the beast of pirate’s bay.

Lastly those songs were stuck in my head, so here, suffer with me.
