This time, a couple of people decided to go out on their own to take out Barney once and for all. Leave the masses at home that are swayed so easily. Leading the few people was Doug, the person who got into a fight with him last night.
Doug approaches Barney at his own apartment, the few others following closely behind. Barney opens the door to find him standing there. “I was expecting you. Come in, only you.” He reveals a sword at his side. “No one else otherwise you will all find yourselves dead PRETTY quickly.”
Doug walks in and Barney closes the door behind him, locking it. “So, you have got me, I must be vulnerable tonight. Or am I?” Barney gives a chuckle and walks into the kitchen. “I am guessing you want a scotch on the rocks? Well not guessing really. As we know about you. Everything about you. Your likes, you wants, who you TRULY are.” He continues laughing.
“Do you know how easy it is to plant silly ideas in your mind? Did you really think that you can kill that, which is awesome. Oh, but you found out that I MUST be vulnerable today. Because you know, I have NO ability to mess with what you are thinking, and what you are finding out.” He starts laughing to himself again. “You know, you are the only one ballsiest enough to go for me day after day. And I respect you for it. Not just for your pigheaded disdain of me, but because you have actually been helping me. Each day, your attacks on me have made me a little bit stronger. That combined with the screaming by others has really had a profound effect on me. I now know that I can kill, and it’s all thanks to you! So cheers!” He raises his own scotch to the one that he placed next to Doug.
“Oh yeah, back to the vulnerability. I planted that idea in your head. Oh and you have been ‘chipping away at my powers?’ Yeah, not quite. ‘But Barney, each night I keep wearing you down.’ Only because that’s what I want you to see. It has been a valiant effort on your part thus far. But you are no closer to killing me now as you were at the very beginning of this game.” Barney pauses, probably for some oxygen, since he has literally been talking this whole time.
“Oh and I almost forgot, I really needed to thank you for something else. I needed to be lynched at least three times in order to gain the ability to even win. And you…. Well you have beautifully taken care of that requirement for me, all on your own. There must be a way that I can thank you...” He immediately rushes up to Doug who was mid sip with his scotch, the sword in his hand at his throat. “I am giving you your life as thanks. Go forth and stop bothering me or anyone close to me again. If you do it, I will either use my sword or an anagram of that to end you.”
“I really don’t care who wins, go at it, fight the good fight. Besides, I have much bigger fish to fry then you.”
“Oh and send my regards to your friends outside.” And with that, Doug left, slamming the door behind him.
No one has died.
