Attack on Titan / Interactive Story

78

The Marigold was a bar that stood off the edge of town in an old shack. The walls were sunken in and the stools were crooked and eaten away. Soldiers were decked along the small room and the doorstep and the rocks that lined the building. Soldiers were everywhere, actually.

The man shuffled you, Mika and Seung into the cramped room. "I have newbies!"

Soldiers at the bar raised their glasses cheerfully, then slammed them down onto the counter.

A boy, maybe in his late twenties, checked out Mika with his eyes. "Hey, sexy."

Mika pulled herself closer to Seung and pulled at his sleeve. As the crowds parted for the two to sit, you turned to the boy. "Fuck off."

The boy was taken aback by your response but chose to do nothing. He sipped down on his beer and watched you move to the front of the room.

"Three drinks for the kids!" The man inquired, pointing at the bartender. The old bartender passed a drink to a woman before heading back to make more.

"Is this all you guys do?" Mika huffed. "Just drink and party?"

The woman next to Mika looked at her and chuckled before looking back into her drink. The bartender set the drinks on the counter in front of you. Mika refused to touch hers and Seung wasn't satisfied with the taste. You stirred the alcohol with your finger, watching the bubbles stir and form along the top.

Mika looked to no one in particular, pissed as ever."Is it?"

The drunk guy in the corner spit in, "Calm down, bitch. It's fun. Lighten up."

Seung's arms tensed. You turned to look at the speaker, a man who could hold his drinks better than his tongue. Seung, as much as he wanted to be mature and an adult, was much too small to do anything.

"You have no right to call me a bitch!"

The man propped himself off of the wall. "Do I need your permission first, sweetie?"

Some people began to crowd from the loud noises, looking for a fight to watch. They passed their drinks around and chatted away, boosting about a possible altercation.

"I can't believe how much scum you all are. I'd rather be dead than associate myself as one of you low-lives."

Mika got up to leave and began walking when the man punched her for good measure. Mika fell to the floor and held her bloody nose and lip in her hand. She looked upon the blood as if a body had been flung in front of her.

Seung got up behind you but your body forced him from moving ahead to do anything. One little punch to the chest would surely knock Seung out for the next ten years.
