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



Yeah, prepare to lose!




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




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

Yes, I'm still using GIF for every round







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!

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.



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.




Yeah, prepare to lose!




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.



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










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...

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.

Music: Impervious to Love
We've
We might not get the special food, but at least we still get the bourbon.


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



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).
