Blue Mask: A Drunk Talk
Vincent
Here is the item, ma'am.
Mob 3
Thank you, young man.
Mob 3
Here is your reward.
The woman have Vincent a bag of gold. He takes the gold and gave her a bow before leaving.
Miranda was waiting for him at the gate.
He smiles at her as he wave the bag in front of her.
Vincent
Let get some expensive drinks for tonight, my treat.
It's been a few weeks since then. In order to erase the thought of Blue Mask, Vincent had been drowning himself in delivery request.
So far, he had finished 2 bodyguards request, and 3 item delivery request.
Miranda was with him throughout the whole process.
She was somewhat relief that he was finally taking a break.
They went to find some good expensive drink as well snacks to go along.
They returned to the inn, and started their early break when night came.
Vincent
How many rounds can you go?
Miranda
I'm not sure, it's my first time drinking this.
Vincent smirks at her and pours her a cup load.
Vincent
Let compete who'll last the longest.
Miranda
What does the winner get?
Vincent
Hmm... How about, the loser does whatever the winner wants for a whole entire day?
Miranda
Sounds interesting.
Vincent was very confident in this. He had never lost before, and doesn't plan no breaking that win.
However, after the 27th cup, he was knocked out cold with his head against the table, while Miranda was still going on strong. Although, her cheek was getting light pink.
Vincent
W-what are you made out of...?
Vincent
I have never lost before...
Miranda
I guess you found your match.
Vincent
You're not an ordinary person are you?
Miranda
I never met anyone who could match up with my speed before.
Vincent
That's my exact thought.
Vincent smiles at her like a child.
Vincent
I lost, what would you like me to do for you?
Miranda
That time when we were in the pub...
Miranda
What made you so upset?
Vincent
Do you know of The Halcyon and the Blue Mask?
Miranda
...From rumors and gossip.
Vincent
...Then do you know of the Stoneshell Family?
Miranda
...From rumors and gossip.
Vincent gave out a small sad smile.
Vincent
9 years ago, the head of the Stoneshell family caught an unwanted attention from a powerful warlord.
Vincent
He refused the Warlords request, sealing his fate.
Vincent
The Warlord called for the Halcyon to teach them a lesson.
Vincent
The Halcyon sent their youngest assassins at the time, Blue Mask.
As Vincent continues to talk, the cup in his hand started to suffer from his strong grip.
Vincent
Blue Mask annihilated the Stoneshell family, and the Warlords crime was overlooked.
Vincent
I was 10 at the time when Blue Mask killed my whole family.
Vincent drift into his sleep after he finished that sentence.
Miranda reaches out and touch his hand, her expression was unreadable.
