Richie Rubio Supreme-Bartender part I

Richie Rubio is making a drink. Beau asks him if he has any nickname for which he is known in the 'Secret Chamber' bar&grill. Richie Rubio tells him that he is known as the Supreme-Bartender.

in the meanwhile Doctor Middle Finger is in the bathroom. he washes his face. he is feeling many things at the same time. he falls on his knees with one hand touching the sink. he is the only person in the bathroom.

Doctor Middle Finger screams with the wrath of a wounded beast. he scream like a beast trapped in enemy territory. his scream becomes the howling of a wounded beast that seeks enlightenment to find the trail leading back to the righteous path.

Doctor Middle Finger falls on the floor as his body moves abruptly. he wallows on the floor with an expression of horror on his face. his body stops moving. he is sweating. he tries to stand up, but his body at the moment is too weak to move.

he started feeling unwell since he entered inside of this place. there are some footsteps. Doctor Middle Finger welcomes Man with no Face with a fake smile. Man with no Face requests for his help with a matter that is important to both of them.

Doctor Middle Finger tries to stand up. Man with no Face helps him. he forces Doctor Middle to look at the mirror. Man with no Face tells him that his only choice is to cooperate. with a weak body & mind he is useless for his companions.

Doctor Middle wants to cry. he knows that he is been told the truth about himself that he knows better than anyone else. Doctor Middle nods with teary eyes. Man with no Face whispers on his ears before leaving.

at the moment on the third floor, Hero Teacher is on a corner. he needs to go back to the real world. he can't stay more time. he is angry with himself to be unable to do anything to help his friend when he needs of his help.

Hero Teacher looks at the people dancing with the heavy electronic music. he can't believe that a party is happening in the middle of a moment so inconvenient as is this precise moment. Hero Teacher understood that his presence was needed more in here than in the real world.

Master of Lies walks in front of him holding a gun. Hero Teacher wasn't afraid because he knew that he couldn't die. Master of Lies tries to warn him about not doing anything stupid. Hero Teacher pulls a gun out of his inventory.

they are aiming at each other. the one who has more to lose is Master of Lies because he can die if he dies in this virtual world. Hero Teacher will only be back home if his avatar is killed. they are both hesitating knowing the risk of this situation.

Hero Teacher pulls the trigger first, then Master of Lies also pulls the trigger. they shoot at each other multiple times. Hero Teacher is on the floor with a smirk on his face. Master of Lies has a wound on his shoulder and a wound on his stomach. none of the wounds is critical but they hurt like hell. Master of Lies aims at the head of Hero Teacher who was laughing in a dramatic way. with one bullet on the head Hero Teacher was send back to the real world.

Beau is drinking with Joaquin. at their side are Don-Savage & Peace Inn fighting. in front of them is Richie Rubio making drinks for them. the atmosphere of the party is ideal for them with the loud music that is impossible to understand what the hell it is about. the dark lights giving live to the party and the people in the middle of the dance floor moving their bodies with the energy of a contortionist.

Beau looks at Richie with a huge smile. Beau pulls Richie closer to him and he kiss the man in the cheek as a symbol of peace. Beau screams loudly showing how little sober he is at the moment. Joaquin tells Richie that forgiveness is power.

Richie laughs. he lets him know that he is fine with loud drunk friends. in fact he affirms to have many loud crazy drunk friends. Joaquin asks him for another drink but this time he wants something sweet.

Don-Savage is looking at a lady in the dancing floor. his sister is making fun of him. he pushes her away as he walks directly towards that lady with the intentions of asking her for a dance. it has been too long since his last dance but what is well learn can't be easily forgotten.

Peace Inn looks at the attempts of her brother to impress someone. she laughs hysterically as she drinks a cold beer. she even asks Richie for popcorn to enjoy of the future humiliation of her brother.

Richie Rubio has been working for lady Pandora for many, many years and he has owned this place for even a longer time. what some don't understand is that this world is different from the human world. in retrospective this world has existed longer than the modern human world.

Richie Rubio use to be a NPC without a name or anything especial because he was one of the first NPCs created by the system that keeps this world together. he was given a name by lady Pandora who is like an foster mother to him or an elder sister (not older but elder because she is really freaking old.)

not many might know but Richie Rubio's physical appearance was inspired in a real person who was a Chicano entertainer and his last name Rubio means blonde in Spanish. even when he is grumpy when people ask about his name, he loves his name because it was a gift given by his boss lady.

"be honest with me, do you have especial feelings for lady Pandora?"

asks Joaquin with a smirk.

"you mortals will never understand that romantic love is not the only type of love that exist in the world. there are hundreds of feelings that can be interpreted as love, but those feelings are not precisely romantic, and they don't need to be romantic. my love for lady Pandora is beyond human comprehension."

answers Richie feeling a bit ashamed of his words.

"you might not know this but back on my days I was a heart-breaker. I was such a womanizer that in public places like libraries, malls and cinemas I was banned from entering because the clients of said places were mostly my exes and my life could be in danger..... damn I miss my days of skirts & panties."

Joaquin was proud for what he considers the achievements of his youth. he was such a lively boy on the early days of his life.

"I suspect that you are a bad influence as a human. I don't think I should keep listening to your conversation about your youth."

said Richie in a serious tone of voice.

Joaquin laughs loudly. this is the first time in many years that he talks about something positive from his past or that he doesn't think of a sad memory.

Joaquin looks at the people dancing and he pictures his younger self dancing with his wife. he thinks about them on the early stages of their relationship. he remembers now that there were many times in which they fought or their relationship almost reached its end, but there were many more times in which they were stronger together.

"I am not sure if my sorrow blinded me, but I wasn't able to remember those beautiful moments that felt endless on my heart. how can I allowed my self to be swallowed by the sorrow when there are many memories worth remembering."

said Joaquin with a smile.

"sometimes mortals are so focus on the tragedy that they forget all the good things that they lived before said tragedy. mortal you have to live the present because the past is gone and the future is still a mystery."

said Richie trying to prove that he is wise.

Richie puts five books in front of Joaquin. the title of the books are; 'healing your inner self with Richie Rubio' 'how to become a Supreme-Bartender with Richie Rubio' 'Richie Rubio's secret to become the most respected lapdog' 'Richie Rubio: the secrets of the Therapist of the Greek Gods' 'More of Richie Rubio and his eternal Wisdom.'

"bro, are you serious. like this has to be a prank."

said Beau as he grabs some of the books.

"for your information I am a respected Writer with ten books on my name. by the way all those books are best-sellers with hundreds of millions of copies sold.... I am just too perfect for this world."

said Richie Rubio with too much pride.

without a doubt Richie Rubio is a man of many talents. he has proven himself in all the centuries that he has lived (Richie might look on his forties but he is a few centuries old.) there are many things that he has done in his long life but he feels like that isn't enough, he feels like there is more to do.

"I think is time to talk about something more important. I want to know the rules of this tournament in which we are going to take part."

said Beau in a serious tone.

"there are going to be many 'games.' every game with different rules and the point is to force a member of each guild to compete. the point of this tournament is too eliminate as many 'Offerings' as possible and the winner gets a reward."

said Richie avoiding eye contact.

Beau swallows saliva aware that in the tournament he is going to be indirectly responsible for many deaths. by surviving he is going to condemn others to death and by losing he is going to condemn himself to death.

"is there anything else that we need to know?"

asks Joaquin with a deep voice.

"there is a lot about this tournament. I am not sure if telling you everything will help you. I am sorry guys."

said Richie feeling uncomfortable with the topic.

Beau stops drinking. he might be a bit drunk by now, but he wants to know what is there to know about the hole in which they had fallen. he wants to know if there is a way to get away from this tournament with everyone alive from his guild.

Joaquin stops drinking. he is so obsessed with winning this damn game that at times he forgets that he is no longer playing it alone. he forgets that he is part of a team that can't walk on the same level, some are weaker or stronger. some are faster or slower.

Joaquin looks at Peace Inn, then he looks at Beau. he closes his eyes as he tries to tell to himself that he is not alone so there is no need to try to run when everything can be solve with patience and at an acceptable pace.

Beau is afraid of not been able to take a life when the time comes, he is also afraid that if he takes a life or if someone dies for his fault he won't be able to take the mental pressure. not every human body or mind is capable of having tolerance towards certain things.

on the meantime Doctor Middle Finger is walking out of the bathroom. he is feeling better. he is still trying to know what happened to him. what happened has to be something psychological and not physical.

Doctor Middle Finger walks cautiously trying to avoid the enemy. if he has already got in contact with him then that means that he can attack him again at any moment and if he is not careful enough this can be his last time breathing.

"wait there has to be a reason why he attacked me without actually hurting me..."

Doctor Middle Finger tells to himself.

he tries to think of any possibility. there is no way that an enemy is going to let you know that he is aware of your presence unless he wants to pass a message to you. a secret message that not anyone may get at first.

Doctor Middle Finger is one of the smartest guys on his guild. he is probably one of the smartest guys among those who are inside of the city. he then starts to think in what kind of message his enemy is trying to send.

"...no...that is impossible it can't be, or can it be?"

Doctor Middle Finger asked himself when a possible answer came to his mind.

he is thinking about the possibility that maybe the enemy wanted to let him know that he is after someone that he knows. 'why would Man with no Face let me know he is going to kill someone?' is one of the questions that comes to his mind.

it seems like at every step that he takes he is thinking ten times faster and closer he is to finding the correct answer. there has to be something especial about this place? Doctor Middle Finger keeps thinking.

"that is it, he is after him."

yields Doctor Middle loudly as he looks at his friends whom are far away from him.

Doctor Middle Finger is about to run but then he feels like something or someone is looking at him and he stops moving. he was stopped, frozen on fear was the right description to his situation.

Doctor Middle Finger wanted to run towards his teammates and he wanted to tell them about the real intentions of their enemies. then he started to feel like if he was sweating cold. it was a strange feeling that make it harder for him to move.

Man with no Face walks in front of him. Doctor Middle looks at the creepy smile of the man who is in front of him. Doctor Middle could comprehend that if he dared to move even a single muscle this was the end for him. Doctor Middle was too smart & too much of a coward to even dare to challenge the man in front of him.

Man with no Face walks slowly closer to Doctor Middle. Man with no Face whispers on the ear of his enemy. his words were like poison to insert more fear in the heart of the coward in front of him.

there is no lie in saying that Man with no Face was enjoying of the struggle of that man. there is nothing like the taste of fear on the souls of the weak. once you feel superior to others you can not stop feeling this much joy every time you step on top of them.

Doctor Middle Finger fall on his knees. he look up with horror at the man who is in front of him. he asked himself if he was going to ever face that monster without showing signs of fear.
