《second best // dnf》25. The Bar
Advertisement
"Guys," Sapnap said, "We need a favour."
I began, "So, George isn't in the best place at the moment and he's going through a lot, we were hoping that maybe you guys or all of us could do something to cheer him up a bit."
"I KNOW WHAT TO DO!" Quackity yelled, "Let's go to a bar!"
"Noooo, that's a stupid idea!" I whined, "I don't wanna go to a bar! I can barely walk!"
"Oh come on George! You deserve a bit of fun!" Sapnap drawled.
Dream looked unsure. But everyone else seemed to think it was a great idea. To be honest, I'd rather stay in bed. My boyfriend cheated on me and now they want to go to a bar. How stupid. However, I knew they were never going to let me stay home on my own so I had no other choice.
"Fine, I'll go," I decided, "But I'm not drinking!"
"Deal!" Sapnap cheered.
________________________________
We all put on some smart-ish clothes for tonight. I do want to go, I think it will be fun, I just don't think it's the best thing for George, but Sapnap and the rest of the boys think it will be good for him. Though, I can't imagine that Bad will want to come out tonight either, but there is no doubt that Karl and Quackity will force him to come.
The time was exactly 7:00pm when we left the house, George got in the front with me as we sped off down town. Karl, Bad and Quackity were waiting for us outside the bar. I could already hear the music blasting from inside.
The six of us entered the bar after they checked our IDs and we sat down at a table. I glanced at George, he looked miserable.

______________________________
The bar reeked of alcohol, the music was deafening and the whole place was just packed with sweaty low-lifes. It was sickening. I perched down on a chair, beside Dream and Bad. We hadn't been in the bar for ten minutes when Quackity came over with an armful of beers for everyone. He handed them out one by one, I thanked him even though I knew for sure that I wasn't going to drink it.
To no one's surprise, Quackity had already chugged down two beer bottles after about thirty minutes and he was currently fooling around, drunk on the dancefloor with people that I've never seen in my life. Sapnap had drank about a bottle and a half but I had no idea where he was. Karl, who was slightly drunk, was chatting with the young, female bartender.
I was still sat at the same table and Bad and Dream were still at my side. Dream had sipped away probably about half of his bottle and seemed to keep going, I imagined he was on the verge of being drunk. However, Bad and I hadn't touched our alcohol yet.
"So you don't drink either huh?" Bad said, boredly.
"Nah," I repied, fiddling with my crutches, "I prefer not to poison my body," Bad laughed and I smiled.
Then, Dream slung his arm around my shoulder. I looked up at him: if he wasn't drunk earlier, he was 100% drunk now. He sort of leant into me, I assume it was supposed to be affectionate, but I didn't like it.
I shifted uncomfortably under his grip; I peeled his arm off of my shoulder and pursed my lips together. Dream didn't do anything.
My gaze travelled around the bar: Quackity was still dancing; Karl and Sapnap were now sat down together, while Sapnap looked very bored, Karl was laughing a lot at everything he said.

I poked Bad and chuckled, "Is Karl flirting with Sapnap?!" We both exploded into giggles while Dream drank more of his beer. He stank of alcohol; it was disgusting.
Dream had finished his beer bottle and as he stood up, he asked me, "Can I get you anything to drink?"
"Oh um just some water please, if you don't mind," I replied and he staggered off to get the refreshments.
I then saw Sapnap comimg in my direction so I reached for my crutches and stood up, wobbily.
I greeted him, "Hey Sapnap, you having fun?-"
Before I even had a chance to realise what Sapnap was doing, I heard Dream's voice from across the bar, "GET THE HELL AWAY FROM HIM!"

The American Dream: An Alternate, Time-Travel Timeline
Due to a mysterious transcendent being, United States Marine Corps First Lieutenant Samuel Kim from the year 2016 is thrown back in time to the year 1775. To make matters worse, he wakes up near Bunker Hill, mere hours before the famed Battle of Bunker Hill is set to begin. Realizing the unique situation he finds himself in, the lieutenant takes the opportunity to change the fate of the battle and ensure an overwhelming American victory. Guided by his "patronizing" "God" and the American revolutionaries, Lieutenant Kim embarks on a journey to help America gain its independence and to ensure the nation uphold its "most promising" ideals from the very beginning. Author's Warning: The story is very rough in the first few chapters (and as some readers pointed out, some parts are laughable, such as "American idealism"). However, the pace and quality of the story improves from chapter four and onwards. You will enjoy the story if you have some interest in history, worldbuilding, and the butterfly effect (along with a few badass characters). So even if you are a bit turned off in the beginning, I promise that the story improves quickly.

Frameshift
Magic. Math. Not a whole lot of context. Two months ago, I was a wormhole navigator, ripping open a hole in the universe to save a ship of people who only vaguely tolerated me. Two weeks ago, long story short, I threaded an impossible path through the void between dimensions to crash-land into a dungeon. You know the kind: monsters to defeat, corridors full of traps to avoid, and magical powers to earn. I'm not ashamed to admit that it's been two weeks of loneliness, fear, adrenaline, and constant injury. But I'll make it out of here by myself if I have to, or my name isn't Adam Leviathan James. ... too bad the Levi doesn't stand for Leviathan, huh. AN: Expectations should include in medias res, violence, smut, friendship, and powers/progression systems with absolutely an insufficiency of context and (at least at first) no definitions or explanations, and magic-as-programming/engineering (with something of an emphasis on "what if magical runework were an analogue to circuit diagrams"). This story used to be called "Yet Another Godsforsaken Isekai". Discord server: https://discord.gg/dHh3XMMB4T Cover by the amazing Daedalus of The Way Ahead.
