*As he sighs a woman who seems to be in her early 30s sits next to the exo, calling for a beer from the Bartender. She sips on it a little, then looks over at him*
You okay there bud? You look like you just witnessed someone dying.

Mark sighed, "I'm used to witnessing death." The Hunter pulled up the hood of his cloak, requesting another shot of whiskey.
-
Well, this is the Dojo, we all have. But, I mean you look like someone close died. You okay?
-
"She didn't die... She just..." Mark struggled to find the words as he drank another shot. If he was human, he would be crying. But, alas, he was an Exo-- a robot with a human consciousness, memories, and emotions. He closed his spiral notebook. "She just.... will never be mine..." he finished.
-
Oh, one of [i]those[/i] things. The old heartbreak, had too many of them

Edited by Splashback77: 7/3/2017 6:52:19 PM"It's the worst. Except when they never knew you loved them," Mark agreed. He requested another shot, and drank it.
-
I still get that. Many men have felt that way about me. But, hey, this gives you a reason to keep fighting. So she can see your worth.
-
"That's the problem. I never have the chance. And when I do, I chicken out..." he admitted. He drank more shots.
-
Yes, but you still have a chance
-
"I don't," he slammed his metal face on the bar, "She's engaged to someone else."
-
Oh... That changes it a little. Well I know how it feels to be friends with an engaged fella. My brother's been engaged a while
-
"My point is... it's too late. And she's a really good friend of mine," Mark sighed. He asked for another drink and drank it down.
-
Well, if she's a good friend, why don't you be open?
-
Mark sighed, "It isn't easy...." He drank another shot.
-
It never is, but you'll feel better. [spoiler]Trust me I know from experience[/spoiler]
-
The Exo requested for three flasks, drinking each one. "You sure?"
-
Yes. At the very least, she'll be flattered that such a good friend loves her so much
-
Mark requested for another flask, and drank it. "Yeah... But again, she is engaged to someone else..."
-
*She grabs his flask out of his hand before he can drink it* So? Would you rather have it eat you up inside, not having her know, or letting her know and see what happens
-
Mark's systems shut down, due to the amount of alcohol consumed. His orange eyes powered off.
-
*She sighs, taking the Exo and dragging it behind her*
-
The Hunter's Ghost, Havoc, appeared, "Did he consume too much alcohol?"
-
Edited by BrandRobKus: 6/14/2017 11:09:34 AMProbably had more shots than shots fired at him, I presume. You're his ghost correct?
-
"Correct. I am his ghost," Havoc answered, "And no. He did not have that many shots."
-
Yeah, but I try to keep the mood light, little one. You got anything that can make this guy any lighter for me?
-
"Give me a few minutes," Havoc scanned Mark's body. After a few seconds the Exo stood up again. "Mark, no more drinks, no more letters," Havoc scolded. "Havoc," Mark pleaded.
