I'm half brain dead so here's a fun short story to tide you guys over.
You, Kano, Kollector, and Baraka were all chilling by the newly installed beer cooler in the Beast pin of the Kolesieum.
Baraka: So this is human alcohol?
You: Yep.
Kollector: It tastes of loveless marriages and disappointing careers.
Kano: Yeah, it tends to.
Baraka: You drink this recreationally?
You: Every now and again.
Kano: It's a good tide over until something exciting happens.
Kollector: On topic of excitement, the bets of the last Kolesieum fight was lucrative.
You: Figured, I mean, it's literal gladiatorial combat, what's not to love?
Kano: He makes a valid point?
Baraka: After drinking this, I feel the odd desire to return home and argue with my significant other over minor mishaps that will eventually lead to divorce and negatively affecting my offspring.
You: Sounds like you need another one.
You handed Baraka another beer.
Suddenly, Erron Black ran in.
Erron: Boss is coming! Act busy!
Kano kicked the cooler under a table as you all threw your beer cans in various directions, followed by faking business.
Shao Kahn walked in casually.
Shao Kahn: Warriors.
You: Sir.
Shao Kahn: If I May put any advice on you men, may it be to never get married.
Kano: Another fight with the misses, eh?
Shao Kahn: Indeed, Sindel believes I spend to much time conquering, says I don't have time for Kitana or Mileena.
You: Women are like that, we've all been there.
Baraka: Yes, I have three wives, and everyday is a new argument.
Kano: Reminds me of that one girl I dated years ago...what was her name?
You: Karen, wasn't it?
Kano: Yeah! Her! Haha!...I miss that girl sometimes.
Erron: My last girl shot me in the knee.
Kollector: I had someone at home, but she borrowed five dollars and never gave it back.
You: Been there.
Shao Kahn: It's good to know that my men understand my dilemma, what should I do?
Kano: Flowers are a must.
You: Poetry works too.
Baraka: You could also try listening to her concerns and building your relationship around them and create a successful family unit.
You all looked at Baraka with surprise.
Baraka: I'm a published self help advisor.
You: Go with what he said.
Erron: Yeah, whatever he said.
Shao Kahn: Flowers, poetry, and communication...I shall take your advice, thank you men, carry on.
You: No problem boss.
Shao Kahn left the room, and Kano shortly after pulled the cooler from under the table.
Kollector: Have you ever considered branching your self help books to Earthrealm, Baraka?
Baraka: Yes, but humans don't take well to Tarkatan culture.
Kollector: Nothing a bit of censorship couldn't fix.
You: With that, I say we crack another cold one.
You and the boys cracked some cold ones and had a good time.
