nkfloofiepoof. Trying to get either one of them to back down is like trying to shove a banana up your nose: damn near impossible

His face flushed and breath coming out in heaves, Shadow gauged his opponent carefully. Ring assessed right back with equal stubborn determination.

Crash had long since been burned out, Elec and Metal in a heap by the far wall. Even Quick, the instigator of this ‘game’, had succumbed to the strain. The only two left were Ring and Shadow and the price was far too high for either to just roll over and give in. This was no longer a game. This was about pride, about inner strength. This was about bragging rights.

“Make your move.” Ring growled, a sharp grin on his face as he swayed gently. He was on his last leg. They both were. This next move, whatever it may be, would break one of them and the other would be the victor.

Grimly Shadow raised his hand, metal glinting briefly between his fingers. Sharply he flicked his wrist and the small projectile dove onward.

*PING!*

It bounced off the table and landed with barely a splash into the full beer stein in the middle of the table. Both robots cursed and reached for their equally full cups, gulping as quickly as possible. With a gasp Shadow slammed his cup down a mere second before Ring.

He grinned maliciously. “Drink up.”

With a scowl Ring slid the beer stein towards himself and fished the coin out from the bottom, pounding that down as well. Wiping the beer that spilled over his chin, Ring panted, face almost as brighter than his hair. He gave Shadow a grin, claiming he was still in the game. But, as he reached for another beer bottle to refill his cup and the stein, he jerked to a stop. Everything from his stomach to his throat gave a sharp warning pull and as Shadow’s muddled mind was still processing this, Ring was already making a mad dash to a sink or toilet or trashcan or-

Shadow snickered to himself as Ring fed the artificial fern the alcohol he had consumed in the last hour. Even if he was unable to stand and gloat about his victory an extreme amount of satisfaction fell over Shadow. After all, tomorrow both Ring and Quick were all his.

For those that are unaware, Chandelier is a drinking game that will get you really fucked up really quickly. You get a large group of people and each one gets a small or medium sized cup that is filled with alcohol of their choosing. The cups surround a much larger cup that is also filled with alcohol. One person gets a coin that they try to bounce into the cups. Whoever’s cup it lands in must drink their cup. If it lands in the tosser’s cup they can choose who drinks. If it lands in the one in the middle everyone has to drink and whoever is the last one to finish also has to drink the large cup in the middle. If they miss then it just goes on to the next person.

Supposedly fun to do, just as fun to watch.
