Hiccups (Text) - COMPLETED!

"I bet you can't give yourself the hiccups!"

Vaguely remembering something from a fairy tale, you try to dare Hiccuptor into doing something stupid. But it only comes out as hiccups.

Much to your surprise, he replies to what you intended to say.

"One, I'm not dumb enough to fall for an old trick like that. Two, it's not like it would actually harm me or anything. At worst they'd get annoying and I could make them stop just as easily. Watch."

He hiccups seventeen times in quick succession, then stops.

"You see, mortal? This is the power of Hiccuptor!"

Well, that didn't work. It's interesting to learn that he can understand what you're saying through your hiccups, though. Not that he's the best conversationalist...

Hiccup a sigh of relief. You had thought they said "Hiccaptor", the hiccup raptor. Much more terrifying.

You suddenly get an idea. You hiccup that you thought he had said he was Hiccaptor, the hiccup raptor, but if he's just Hicciptor the hiccup demon, well, that's not as frightening.

He leans in closely and smiles, revealing all his teeth. He's got a lot of them.

"Oh really?" he says.

You can only hiccup weakly in response.

Feed him ice cream!

Suddenly, you realize that you still have your ice cream scoop! And a tub of hiccup ice cream - wait, why did you drag this all the way up here again? Well, whatever. You take out your scoop, grab Hiccuptor (with the assistance of the mountain climber and the police officer, even though they have no idea what's going on), and shove the ice cream into his mouth.

He swallows it.

And then laughs.

"Foolish mortal!" he cackles. "Fueled by hiccup-flavored ice cream, I am more powerful than ever!"

He promptly doubles in size. You can feel your hiccups getting worse, too. This was not your best plan.

So what are you going to do now?
