Dim light, voices slurred, clatter, racket and laughing sounded and felt as if dampened and the environment certainly much friendlier than it was an hour ago. While originally showing up with her friends, Sendrah now found herself to be alone with a buzzing feeling and the exciting sensation that made her feel as if every d**n problem in the world was worth it at this moment. It most certainly was on a Friday night when you feel as if out of control and yet, you're doing nothing at all. The peak of confidence had been extended and problematic matters were nonexistent. It was precisely at that moment when you think to yourself that being sober is for imbeciles and housewives.
She observed the ever growing crowd with a disdainful, smug expression that was anything but subtle, waiting for an opportunity to get involved into almost anything. As the voices and sounds became more clear, Sendrah decided it'd be wise to have a drink or two to maintain the bliss and keep every sound out of reach. She wasn't planning on leaving alone, though it most definitely didn't look like she was going to do just that – Much to her disappointment. So she leaned against the counter, motioned the bartender to serve her a drink before she'd call it a night. Despite the few fun hours she had had, leaving early was something she, like everyone else, disliked.

The bar was a noisy place, there was no denying that. However, the noisiest place was right in the middle.
A crowd of people filled the middle of the bar, cheering and surrounding a table. Not much could be seen from floor level. If one could stand on a chair, they may be able to spot the top of a black cowboy hat with a golden trim. Leaves a lot to wonder about.
In the center of the crowd, there was a table, where two people sat. One, was a casual-looking and cocky-looking man that was practically the total stereotype of a cowboy. A revolver at his hip, a rifle at his side leaning on the chair, and not to mention his clothes. Across from him, a huge man, sat, with a look of utter arrogance on his face. What would these two be doing at a table in the middle of a bar with scotch in front of them?
Well, the answer was obvious. A drinking contest.
3 shots had already been downed. Ragnar was feeling the effect, but not nearly as much as his counterpart. His competitor was slurring his words more, and seemed a bit more clumsy as he reached for his bottle. With a smirk, Ragnar poured himself another dose of Scotch into the tiny cup. He raised it, and smoothly swallowed the burning liquid.
The man across him did the same. Ragnar was winning, but it wouldn't be a battle easily fought.

This was the point where you asked yourself why you were here and not home sleeping, comfortable as always and ready to see what lied ahead tomorrow. Sendrah was long lost in her thoughts, thinking of whatever her mind could grasp in its current state, listening to the deafening beat, she finally abandoned the last hope of catching up on the fun she had hours before. The friends were long gone, for sure. Standing up and straightening herself before she'd head home, Sendrah had apparently just noticed the building commotion that was focused around two men in a drinking competition. Stumbling herself halfway through the crowd to see properly, she had already made a few bets in favor of the cowboy and found herself cheering on with the rest of the crowd within a matter of moments. Question remained whether it would be a profitable decision or not, not that it really mattered since after all, she only did it for thrill. Though honestly winning wouldn't hurt, too.

Ragnar was starting to feel dizzy and lightheaded, however, he kept himself sharp enough to conceal it. He didn't appear very drunk as a result, but in reality things were starting to look a lot different to him.
Across the table, his competitor swallowed another shot. His gaze was unfocused, and the man was too drunk to even steady his hands anymore. Ragnar smiled slightly. One or two more drinks would do him in.
He downed his next shot. The man across from him followed suit.
Again. And again.
Finally, the man over there raised a shaky hand towards his mouth, before his head fell and landed on the table.
A massive cheer went up, as Ragnar emerged as the winner. He whooped and yelled, satisfied with his accomplishment of winning yet another drinking contest.
"Anyone else want a try?!" He bellowed to the crowd.

“I will,” Sendrah replied, pushing through a man or two before ensuring she was heard by everyone by repeating her words once more, this time much louder, much to the crowd's apparent amusement. She sat down in the stool replacing the previous participant and her small sneer grew wider when she looked at her adversary. He was bound to give in first, right? After all, he was probably drunker than she was.
“Don't feel bad when you lose, you're not the first one to do so.” She found that her voice was slightly slurred but paid no mind to it, and finally gestured the man to take the first sip. “But if you're so determined to win yet again, you should go ahead and drink first.”

Ragnar let loose a snicker, and he wasn't the only one. Several people in the crowd gave either disbelieving noises, degrading laughs, or offensive comments. Ragnar wasn't as sure as he looked. He was already fairly intoxicated, but in addition to his already moderate tolerance to alcohol, he was also a man. He knew that women tended to be a little more susceptible to alcohol's affect. Bottom line was that she would probably get drunk faster, but it depended on how much more he could take before she reached his level.
He pushed these thoughts from his mind. He could barely even focus on them anyway. He picked up the small shot-sized container, and gave it a slight upward motion, as an imitation of a toast. "Bottom's up."
He drank the shot, and slammed the glass on the table, causing a resounding bang to echo through the air.

“You know, slamming the glass would have been intimidating, impressive and all that.. If it were the fifth shot. Yet, congratulations, you've successfully taken a single shot. Good for you.” With these words, Sendrah picked up the glass, and drank the shot with quite an ease before placing the glass neatly on the table. She was already feeling the effect, but despite the mocking and disbelieving crowd, her (false) confidence hadn't waned at all.

"Sarcastic little prick, aren't you? Well, we'll see how cocky you are when you wake up tomorrow morning in a back-alley somewhere."
He downed another shot.

“Let's see how your mouth will be in the morning when I've punched your jaw out of place, gagged you and tied you to a dumpster in the said back alley.” Sendrah picked up the glass quickly, drank the shot and placed it a tad more clumsily than she had a shot ago.
“At least I got you to talk, didn't I? Shame you're not the masculine brooding stranger with manners I expected you to be. Maybe it's the alcohol messing you up, how should I know?” She shrugged her shoulders and motioned the man to continue drinking with a quick jerk of her head.

He raised another cup of liquor, and swallowed it. He was really starting to feel hazy now, but he was skilled at appearing better than he really was.
"How would you know? Not like I'm not like this all the time. It's not like the alcohol is actually affecting me. So tell me, just how much DO you know about this back-alley? Have you wound up there a lot?"

“Snarky, aren't you? As if you're completely with yourself after a drinking game where you're still standing and then this one. Unless if you work in a brewery, but I think they'd have a better taste than you. Alcoholic, perhaps? My guess would be just that. Yes, just why are you standing tall after these drinks?” Her voice once again demanded attention which had already been granted.
"Would it be, that you're still with yourself that you perhaps cheated in some way? If that's the case, then I think you should settle down with your wise guy attitude and keep it to yourself,” and so, drank the shot and realized that her amusement was fading into mere pathetic frustration. Her vision was already clouded and proper thoughts nonexistent. There was absolutely no way she was about to lose to a prick who had just called her an easy skank.

"Cheating? Why would I cheat? It's not like I could lose to a woman anyway. But I will say, I'm impressed by your alcohol tolerance - you seem to have quite a bit of experience with drinking. How many children do you have? Seven? Eight?"
He glanced at his shot. He moved it over the edge of the table, and dumped out the liquid. He reached across the table, and grabbed Sendrah's bottle, and used her liquor instead. "Just so you won't bitch about it when you lose. Now you can't say I'm cheating."
In reality, he SHOULD be cheating. He was having a lot more trouble now than he was two drinks ago. His speech was now very noticeably slurred, and his vision was losing focus. It looked more like she had 4 eyes than two.

“Are you blind, or just severely drunk? A tramp doesn't have my physique.” She couldn't deny it, children were among the things she was never planning to have. Not to mention that she was a shallow person in general. Attack her appearance and get punched in the face. But, if only she could see clearly enough to get a straight punch. If anything, her loud voice had been reduced to a hiss. An obvious sign of offence, but it wasn't like she'd notice by now, after a night of drinking and getting to the verge of passing out from the strong beverage. Yet, she continued, and managed to drink the yet another shot with more difficulty than before.
“Why would you cheat? Because pricks like you don't stand a chance against me.” Sendrah managed a sneer at her remark, but not much more than that.

"Pfft, you're right, what's wrong with me? You probably couldn't get laid if you tried. You look more like one of those old hags from the KG who disguise themselves as men. I'd say you looked like a Metal Head/Human hybrid...But I wouldn't go that far to insult them."
He drank again.

"At least I'm not a sexist cowboy poser who seems to be in need of regular exercise. Have you looked in a mirror lately? You look godawful. Keep it up and a hag like myself has better chance of getting laid than you." So, she grabbed the glass, and drank it. It was becoming harder to do each time, but she refused to give in at this point.
