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

-
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.

*Cyan can't help but chuckle* Look, I don't think that you have a liver, so I can't use [i]that[/i] reason, but passing out too much is not good. Especially for a machine that needs lubrication to work properly
