"I love water." Cass says.
"...Ok." Ray didn't know how to respond to that.
"Especially tap water. I love the metallic flavor."
"That's not healthy for you."
"Actually, Europe has a very strict policy into making their tap water safe to drink. Now if we're talking about Texas, they had a case of a brain eating amoebas in their tap waters."
"Good to know?" Despite being close friends, he still can't get used to her bizzareness.
"Have you ever played Russian Roulette?"
"Definitely not. I love my life too much for a bullet in the membrane." Without missing a beat, she takes out six unlabeled water bottles.
"I have imported the water from Texas containing the amoeba."
"First of all, who the fuck imports tap water? And second WHY??" She stares blankly at him.
"Why do we do anything? That is the question that has plagued philosophers for millennia. Is what we like or dislike something we're born with or a product of our environment? We may never know in our lifetime, but I do know that we're playing Tapping Roulette. One of these bottles contains the amoeba. The rest are normal...I think."
"No way I'm doing this, Cass. I ain't dying by your usual crazy shit."
"We're just a millisecond of a millisecond in the universe calendar. Our death is meaningless to the entirety of the world, nevermind the galaxy itself. We're always fighting against death in our everyday life and this is one of them. What I am saying is choose a bottle, Ray." She is dead set into actually doing it. He knows he can decline this insane game, but he also knows that she will do it with some poor soul.
"It seems a little unfair since you know which bottle is the wrong one."
"Don't worry. I made sure to instruct them to remove the labels before delivering. So I don't even know which one contains the brain-eating organism."
Ray sighs. He gulps as he analyzes the bottles to find anything different about them, but they're exactly the same. He grabs on with trembling hands and drinks it. Cassandra does the same with no hesitation and grins. "I got you. The amoeba only travels through the nose. So you shouldn't wash your face with it."
Ray starts laughing. "You're one crazy bitch." They laugh in unison and spend the rest of the day playing Smash while smoking a joint.
