Part 86: Playing More Billiards



There's two more challengers, and these two matches will affect our upcoming food porn (you didn't think we'd get through this chapter without one, did you?)

Music: Glass in the Hand
So, Mr Hyde, are you up to taking me on?
If you win, I'll crack open a bottle of finest vintage bourbon I've been keeping. What do you say?



Yeah, prepare to lose!

Yeah, prepare to lose!
Ah, the overconfidence of youth! I'll go first.
Go right ahead.
I hope you're ready.

Music: Belief (Actually it's still whatever music you choose in the jukebox, but I like this music.)




Well, that could have been better...
Your turn, Mr Hyde.

Everything I said about Tony's dialogue also applies for Sidney and Claire.



Yes, I'm still using GIF for every round

A draw. Hmph.



I don't think I was on form for that one...
Your turn, Mr Hyde.



A draw. Hmph.

Because we got draw on the first two rounds, we don't get to see Sidney's reactions to our shots.



Victory is in the bag!

I don't think I was on form for that one...
Your turn, Mr Hyde.





One win, two draws. That makes you the winner this time.



Music: Glass in the Hand

Sidney's match reactions posted:

Win

You're a pretty good player, Mr Hyde!
And as promised, later I'll bring out the vintage bourbon I've been keeping.
Bet that tastes pretty good by now.

Lose

Ha! That's victory for me!
Looks like you've got plenty of practising to do before you'll have a chance of beating me!
That means you'll be sticking to the more reasonably priced drinks tonight.
Yeah, yeah, no need to rub it in.

Draw

Hmm, a draw. Looks like we're pretty evenly matched.
That means you'll be sticking to the more reasonably priced drinks tonight.
Yeah, yeah, no need to rub it in.

Anyway, I'd better head back to the café. See you later, Mr Hyde.





We won against Tony and Sidney without much issue, so Claire shouldn't be too hard. Beating Claire took more attempts than the others combined.

What would you say to a friendly game against me, Mr Hyde?



So, shall we play?



Yeah, prepare to lose!

Yeah, prepare to lose!
Great! Hope you don't mind being beaten by a girl.
Do your worst.
Just so you know, I'm not going to go easy on you.

Music: Belief (Still the same case as before)




This is based on my experience, but I feel that Claire is the hardest opponent. For reference, none of the opponents previously managed to get more than 1 ball.

Ooh, that was a good one!
Your turn, Mr Hyde!



Normally, this would've net us a win or at least a draw.

Nice shot! This is getting interesting!
Score one for me!



Not so bad, I guess...
Your turn, Mr Hyde!



Nice shot! This is getting interesting! Looks like this is your round, Mr Hyde!



Ooh, that was a good one!
Your turn, Mr Hyde!

That's going to be hard to beat. Can Kyle defeat Claire?



This is what Kyle would have wanted to happen. But what actually happened was...



So close, and yet so far...

One win, one loss, one draw... Not exactly exciting stuff.



Music: Glass in the Hand

Claire's match reactions posted:

Win

I lost?
To be honest, you didn't stand a chance.
I would've never guessed you were this good a player, Mr Hyde.
Well, you know, I don't go round singing it from the rooftops or anything.
Maybe you should be a little more confident.
I like my men to have confidence!
I'll...bear that in mind.
Just as I promised, I'll make you a meal you'll never forget.

Lose

Heh heh! Looks like I'm the winner!
...
You might want to go and get some practice before we play again.
(I can't have gotten this bad... Must be getting old.)
Unfortunately for you, you won't be tasting my extra special food tonight.
No need to worry though, I'll still bring you something yummy.

Draw

Oh it's a draw. How boring.
(I can't have gotten this bad... Must be getting old.)
Unfortunately for you, you won't be tasting my extra special food tonight.
No need to worry though, I'll still bring you something yummy.

Okay, I'd better head back to the bar. Catch you later, Mr Hyde.



Music: Impervious to Love
We've defeated exhausted all our opponents, so the only thing left to do is to eat.

We might not get the special food, but at least we still get the bourbon.

(Huh?)



This is our third meeting with Will (out of four times).

(I think this is the first time I've ever seen him in here.)



(Is he looking at me?)

As I briefly make eye contact with Will,



After that, he steals another glance at me.



Bonus:



Yeah, we're never going to beat this. This is tied with our best shot (and they're suspiciously similar).
