Chapter 148 by brevdravis brevdravis

Should I trust this woman?

Of course not.

"Uh, you're killing me Smalls." The woman leaned back on her hands after a moment of my continued silence. "I mean, no 'Who are you?' No 'What's Happening?' Come ON! You're not actually going to make me answer four real questions. Oh and before you try it, FUCK you with that whole 'what do you want to tell me' thing if you figured that one out. I don't want to tell you anything. I like it better when the players walk in blind. Keeps the Viewers interested."

I waited. She seemed eager for me to ask a question, as her fingers played in the sand, tracing slight, irregular... well, what is the opposite of a pattern?

"Come on... uh... what name did you get saddled with? I picked you for this game, at least you can tell me what your name is! Tell you what. I tell you my name, I tell you yours... I mean, wait, no, You tell me yours... and we're on even footing here. Still get Four more questions." She held out her hand, still leaning back on one.

"Hi! I'm Eris! I am your Manic Pixie Dream Goddess!"

I reached forward and took her hand, shaking it gently.

"Brent." I said calmly.

"Brent. Uh. Sounds so... male. Brent. Macho Brent. What does Brent do? Uh, I don't know but I bet he's big and bad. Big bad Brent, who just carries around a big gun and blazes away at brown babies...."

"You Finished?" I said sharply.

"TWO! TWO STOOPID Questions, Ah Ah Ah!" She grinned at me with a predatory grimace. She snapped her fingers and pointed her finger at me like a gun. "Note to self, Piss Penny off."

"What did you call me?"

"THREE! THREE! STu... Ah FUCK, that's actually that's a pretty good question." Eris interrupted herself with a smirk. "That's your name."

I said nothing, looking at her with a stupid expression.

"Gaaah, somebody cheated and taught you the rules. But, I know who YOU are... I've been saving the Ice Queen's dirty little secret for a LONG time. For when it mattered."

I blanked at her.

"Damn, you're... you're really good at this. You're a much better player than I would have expected. How many answers did you get out of those three? I think the high score so far has been four, but that guy cheated and just pretended that he couldn't hear. Kept asking the same question, over and over..."

Is this just a game to her?
