You don't know how to wait patiently.

You ask:

"Can I go to the second floor?"

"That'd be just fine with me, man, but you'll have to get in this here elevator first! You stupid or something?"

"I've been through some hard times recently, as well. Even though I might seem 'middle class' to some people, I'm not bourgeois! I’d be happy to buy you a beer, or anything else you'd like, once your shift is over..."

"MOTHERFUCKER! Cease your pointless prattle and make your peace with your goddamn god!"

You turn around and see the bartender approaching you from the South. He is striding quickly and purposefully, and his face bears an expression somewhere between exasperation and incandescent rage. He has a Bulldog revolver clenched in one fist.

Turn your body sideways to present less of a target and jump into the lift, pressing the button for the highest possible floor.

You turn your bodies sideways and make a jump for the lift.

The bartender shoots you in your left calf. You land with your body half in and half out of the lift, yelping in pain. It turns out that being shot in the calf really, really hurts.

"Oh no you don't!"

The bartender grabs you by the ankles, pulls you out of the lift, and kicks you soundly in the belly.

Scream in agony.

Beg for life.

Swallow coin.

And, what the hell, in for a penny, let's try and mentally summon FITE!

You scream in agony, then scream some more.

"I cannot believe you fucked up my package", the bartender says, his tone having reverted to one which is calm yet still threatening.

"Guh... P-please..." is all you can manage to choke out in response.

"The German had such high hopes for you, but you're a crushing disappointment, motherfucker. Stumbling about blindly from one abortive disaster to the next, totally unable to grasp the reality of what's going on."

He cocks the revolver and presses the muzzle against your head.

"You don't belong in this place anymore. Prepare to meet your GOD."

You screw your eyes tightly shut and in desperation call out mentally across the virtual plane for salvation. "FITE! Save me!"

There is a horrific ripping sound that seems to defy the all known laws of science and several unknown ones by its very existence, and a a glowing rift in space-time suddenly opens to the East. On seeing it, the bellhop does a double take, shakes his head, rolls up his sleeve and proceeds to tie off, muttering "Sorry Greggs."

FITE!, the flying horse, comes charging out of the hole in time and rears up in front of the bartender, whinnying fierociously.

"Well get on with it motherf-" is all he has time to say, before FITE! caves his skull in with a deft kick of one hoof.

"Oh, FITE!", you cry, weeping bittersweet tears of gratitude. "Thank you! We'll always have each other, after everything we've been through, even if this place we are in now has become too unpleasant to bear!"

You realise that some strange gravity is pulling you towards the rift in space-time.

FITE! gives one last neigh, and vanishes into the rift once more herself.
 
 
Regrettable Juvenilia
12:04 / 15.01.08
Moments later, you are pulled in after her.

You don't know where you are going, or whether you will in fact still be there when you get there. You are falling through darkness. Falling... falling...
 
 
Regrettable Juvenilia
12:05 / 15.01.08
You awake to find yourself lying on your back on the ground.

Where's our damn inventory? What did we take with us through the rift in time and space?

It's a bit like the end of 'The Truman Show', isn't it?

Now 'God' is dead, can self begin to really live? Or will self fall to pieces without the irrascible, overly-controlling, but nevertheless still fatherly figure in the clouds?

Crack Dossier just successfully predicted how the final episode of Lost will end didn't he.
