an old face comes with new news

2nd-Hand Cigar and Cake Eater were on the bathroom. they are both pissing while they talk about different themes. Cake Eater looks down as he tries to think of the real intentions of the man who invited them there.

on the meanwhile Cabra-Head is walking on the outside. he is stop and question by the members of Western Legends. he smiles at them. he takes four bottles of tequila out of his inventory and one bottle of vodka. they let him leave in peace.

the truth is that Cabra-Head has already spoken with Richie Rubio the host of an event that is too dangerous for him to take part on it. he only wanted to see which guilds were going to take part on the event. now that he has seen the members of those four guilds he is sure that this event is not for him to risk his life.

Cabra-Head is a bit excited to see the outcome of this event. Richie has to be really twisted or maybe he is working for a insanely evil God. those are the thoughts that on Cabra-Head at the time. there is no other explanation for the origin of such a cruel event.

Cabra-Head looks at his inventory. he takes a bottle of eggnog out of his inventory. he is going to have a little bit of fun as he watches how things unfold from a reasonable distance in order to stay alive.

Cabra-Head receives a message from his guild members. he tells them about the event and the participants. he laughs in a really creepy and loud way that can make him look more like a Fallen Hero/Villain and less like a Hero/Good guy.

is probably that the term of what a Hero can be is a bit easy to bend in such a way that some of the Heroes are not that different from the Fallen Heroes. in reality no one is truly good or can't be completely good, if they are stuck in this world is for a reason.

2nd-Hand Cigar is washing his hands. he looks at Cake Eater who is also washing his hands. they leave the bathroom. 2nd-Hand Cigar puts a cigar on his mouth. Cake Eater looks at him for a moment.

there is something that Cake Eater has been trying to ask since the first time that they found each other on chapter zero. is the name of his sidekick what brings questions to him. he has seen 2nd-Hand Cigar put a cigar on his mouth every time that he is nervous, but he never smokes or lights the cigar. he only bites the cigar.

"if you don't mind I have a question for you."

whispers Cake Eater as he looks around of them.

"tell me, we don't have time so one single question isn't going to change things."

said 2nd-Hand Cigar with a deep voice.

"what does your username mean? like is there any deep meaning behind it or something? I mean we might die tonight so asking about a strange username to a guy who doesn't smoke can't be that bad, right?"

said Cake Eater nervously.

"oh that. I can tell you about that later.... I am, I can guarantee that tonight isn't our last night breathing. that can be a good origin story from this sexy devil to tell another day."

said 2nd-Hand Cigar with a deep voice.

they sit in a table. they order something to eat. the other three guys are on the second floor inspecting the whole place. Cake Eater asks for an horchata to the waiter. 2nd-Hand Cigar asks for a pineapple water.

on the opposite side of the restaurant is Man with no Face talking to Master of Lies. they have different reasons to be in there, but the one thing that they share in common is their will to do anything in order to achieve their goal.

Man with no Face saw many futures after receiving his 'Curse' but a face that appears in many of his visions is Beau. he is so important in his visions that he is desperate now that he has finally meet Beau.

Master of Lies haven't kill anyone since he became a Fallen Hero. he has been mentally trying to get himself ready for the moment in which he will need to take another life. it isn't easy to think in that way, but in this world the beasts eats the weak.

Master of Lies whispers on the ear of Man with no Face letting him know that he knows the real reason why he is in there. he tells him that he knows who he wants to kill. Man with no Face looks at the table in which 2nd-Hand Cigar & Cake Eater are sitting.

"I dare you to stop me, I have eliminated many enemies that at this point is pointless to even warn anyone before gifting them the last taste of my iron with their guts adorning it."

said Man with no Face as a final warning.

"stopping you was never my intention, that person is a wall in between my beloved and me. killing him myself is my duty..... let's see who is the fastest gunslinger in this world, between you and I. who ever kills him first deserves a beer bought by the other one."

said Master of Lies with a relax facial expression hiding his anxiety.

Man with no Face laughs loudly. he is enjoying of the company of a 'friend.' he has never seen anyone who can entertain him this much. everyone else is too afraid of him or they hate him too much to ever feel normal with their company. he feels different with Master of Lies. this is the first time he feels at ease with a person like him.

in the eyes of Man with no Face they both are equally corrupted by their own needs and desires. it is so much their hunger that they can eat the world slowly with their insatiable hunger for chaos.

at the moment on the opposite side. Beau is walking slowly with a beer on his left hand. he hears a voice calling him. he turns around. a waiter informs him about a man who wants to see him now. Beau asks him to take him to that man. Beau and the rest of his team are following the waiter on the stairs to the second floor.

after walking for a while they found themselves in front of an office in the third floor. the waiter tells them to wait inside for the owner of the restaurant. the waiter leaves. Beau gets inside follow by Joaquin and the rest of the guys.

Beau is drinking his beer. Don-Savage & Peace Inn are fighting with each other. Hero Teacher is talking with Joaquin about different topics. Beau is quiet as Doctor Middle Finger is talking to him.

Joaquin looks at Beau's beer. he has some sour memories. he haven't overcome his scars of the past. is probable that he will never leave behind those scars nor those memories that had been haunting him since those events.

"this dude is taking too long. I need to take a shit."

said Don-Savage thinking that he only thought about those words.

"aaaaahhhhhh you pig. stop exposing your thoughts. go to the damn bathroom now."

yields Peace Inn furiously about to beat her own brother (once more.)

in the meantime on the first floor is Richie Rubio working as bartender on his own restaurant. he serves a drink to a NPC. one of the waiters tells to Richie Rubio about the arrival of the special guest.

Richie Rubio leaves his post. he walks slowly towards the north-west side of the first floor. he puts on a mask. he leaves an envelope on Cake Eater's table. Cake Eater is about to say something. Richie Rubio tells him to read the letter inside of the envelope and then he is going to answer any questions.

Richie Rubio walks towards the south-east side of the bar (the first floor is divided by the half, half bar & half restaurant. on the second floor there are games like bingo, pool, poker, etc. with beers & snacks. third floor is for private parties and Richie's office.)

Richie Rubio changes his mask. he puts an envelope on Man with no Face's hand. he turns around and he disappears among the people in there before he can even react. Richie Rubio has two more envelopes that are meant for two more bosses.

in the center of the first floor he looks at Master of Lies walking on the stair to the second floor. Richie Rubio changes his mask. he walks fast trying to reach that strange man that he hates so much.

Richie walks on the stairs. he looks at Master of Lies walking on a hall. Richie Rubio touches Master of Lies in the shoulder. he turns around. Richie gives him the envelope. before he can even react Richie was already on the stairs going to the third floor.

Cake Eater is looking at the envelope. 2nd-Hand Cigar takes the envelope and he opens it. he takes a letter and he reads it.

[you have received an invitation for a tournament. four Guilds were chosen; 2 Hero Guilds & 2 Fallen Hero Guilds. those Four Guilds are going to compete with each other for the winning price.

warning: anyone can die in this tournament. you can't back out of the tournament once you have received the invitation. the tournament ends once there is a winner or three of the guilds had been completely eliminated.]

2nd-Hand Cigar trembles by thinking in the huge mistake they commit by entering in this unknown territory. know they had to face the consequences of their carelessness by stepping inside of this death trap.

"what are we going to do now. this is too dangerous and we can't avoid the upcoming blood bath."

said 2nd-Hand Cigar feeling regret.

"wait did you read everything. look at this part. maybe we can still do something to save our people."

said Cake Eater as he is reading the letter.

[disclaimer: if you or your guild wish to avoid any unnecessary death then you can save your people by disintegrating your guild. this means that the members of your guild will need to go to another guild or become neutral players. but because this is a tournament your guild will still need to pay the price by a volunteer for a human sacrifice.]

"no, nooooo..... are you, are you really thinking in doing something stupid. I swear if you do something stupid like sacrificing yourself then I will do it with you. I am not letting you die, you son of a bitch."

yields 2nd-Hand Cigar feeling furious & sad.

"fine, I am not going to volunteer if I see that the guys have an option to survive without ending our guild."

said Cake Eater feeling like he is going to regret not sacrificing himself right now.

Cake Eater stands up. he pulls his friend with him and they call the other guys of their guild to follow them. Cake Eater knows that is time to go back home. if they stay any longer things might become too dangerous for him and his people.

Cake Eater uses the emergency exit to leave the building with his people. they all have chameleon cloaks on their inventory. they take them out of the inventory and they put it on. they exit the building without been seen or attack by the Western Legends members.

inside of the restaurant on the third floor. Beau is waiting for this strange host that has been so mysterious with his identity. Richie Rubio opens the doors of his office as he enters. everyone is looking at him.

Richie Rubio invites them to go out of his office to the party that is taking place on the third floor. he tells them that he has some cool guest that can been seen once in a lifetime on his parties.

Richie gives the envelope to Beau. he opens it and he reads the letter that was inside. he passes the letter to Joaquin who smirks with excitement. he is dying to take part on this tournament and see what is the winning price.

they follow Richie Rubio to his party. he walks towards the bar and he changes places with the bartender. Don-Savage & Peace Inn are still fighting with each other. Doctor Middle Finger asks for a drink.

"so you are lady Pandora's lapdog and the owner of a restaurant with bar and gambling included?"

asks Beau curious.

"you see I am mostly at my lady Pandora's side and on my breaks or vacations I take care of my little, tiny family business. and sometimes I am even the bartender on my own place. I do have a license so everything legal in here, as it has to be."

said Richie feeling proud of himself.

"I am glad for you. so what can you offer to me, offer like for free. I mean we are friends, aren't we?"

said Beau shamelessly trying to get some free drinks.

Richie puts six shots of tequila in front of them to prove that he is a generous friend. Beau takes his and he drinks it in two seconds. Beau puts the glass down asking for more. the atmosphere had this warm feeling.

Joaquin puts his guard down. he drinks a shot and he puts the glass down. he also asks for more (with the difference that he actually told Richie that he wanted to pay for his drinks unlike Beau who wanted those drinks to be free for their 'friendship.')

Doctor Middle Finger is looking at the liquid in front of him as memories of his past are attacking him at this moment. he tell the others that he isn't feeling well. he walks away of them and he starts to walk nervously towards the bathroom. he feels like he can't breathe with this drowning anxiety attacking him at every step.
