Graduation Exams

It's been two weeks since our camping trip and as of now, I'm hanging around at Grillby's. I know what your thinking 'What are you doing here'? Well, you see it all started after the camping trip.

Flashback

It's been a day since our camping trip and right now it's midnight and I'm walking around town thinking about what a bummer it was not tasting anything from the Eternal Carp. I stopped and looked to my right and I could see Grillby's. I decided to go in there in my original form. Upon entering everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at me. I looked down and walked up to a barstool. 

"So what happened to you kiddo" I looked up and I could see the bartender looking at me. 

"Yes I know it's you from the day of the Kage meeting" he clarified while still looking at me.

"Wait how do you know it's me," I asked looking at him in shock.

"You are a moron, you're wearing the same clothes from that day" he responded while cleaning a pint.

*sigh* "Do you want to hear my story?" I asked him. 

He smirked and responded, "Why not everyone else is listening as well". Looking around me I could see that everyone else was listening to what I was going to say. Having no choice, I told everyone here about what happened to me and how I lost my humanity to this so-called 'original' form. After I told my story everyone seemed sympathetic but they didn't show it.

"So tell me, sonny, are you used to it now" looking back I could see this dude smoking a cigarette.

"Kind of" I responded before another person spoke up.

"Must have been painful" "Yeah I would beg for death to end the suffering" again looking for who said that. That was until I find this married couple's who was wearing a cloak. 

"Again, it was painful, nothing too bad" I reassured before a big cut me off.

"Oh yeah sure, experiencing burning skin until your bare-bones is not bad," said this huge guy. 

"Hm, I'm sorry for you kid," said a lonely person playing a card game at a round table.

"Still kid, you not getting a drink from this place ok," the bartender told me.

"It's ok I can't eat or drink anything anyways" I responded.

"Really what do you eat or drink then," said the lonely person at the round table.

"Uh, the only thing that I can taste and drink is ketchup" I responded while some people laughed while others just questioned me. 

"Wait are you serious that you drink ketchup," asked the bartender. I nodded and went back to looking at him. He seemed to understand that I do drink Ketchup because he pulled on out and handed it to me. I looked up at him and he nodded at me. Taking the bottle and taking a swig, I smiled and continued to chug it down.

"Man I never thought I met someone who drank something like this" claimed the lonely person.

"Ha, well anyways I never got your names, you mind telling me what your names are," I asked.

"My name is Grillby"  claimed the bartender. "The lonely guy playing by himself is Lester. The couple by the huge table is John and Yoko. The huge guy next to them is Escanor he's really strong but doesn't worry he's such a softy. And the dude smoking is Drago but we call him Capitao" 

I looked at everyone and waved at them and they did the same before looking at Grillby and smiled. He seemed to smile before claiming that I have to pay for that bottle. I grabbed my money and paid my tab while looking annoyed. I turned around to leave the bar before Grillby called out "You always welcomed here at Grillby's".
