Hiccups (Text) - COMPLETED!

Challenge him to a hiccupontest. Whoever hiccups the most wins. If he starts to beat you, Feed/him/yourself the icecream to fuel your victory.

Wager, blah blah fate of the world, blah blah your servitude blah blah.

You hiccup a challenge to the mighty hiccup demon: If you can hiccup more than him over the course of ten minutes, he has to leave and never again unleash his hiccup curse. If he can hiccup more, he'll get your eternal servitude, which is a pretty good deal considering you're a volcano god.

He grins. "I accept. The countdown begins... now."

He suddenly starts hiccuping incredibly fast. You try hiccuping as fast as you can, and even swallowing hiccup-flavored ice cream, but before you know it, a minute's passed. He stops and grins.

"One thousand so far. *hiccup*"

Dammit, at this rate he can easily hit ten thousand hiccups before time's up. You'll need to find some way to delay him.

Surprise him.

Thinking quickly - and hiccuping faster - you realize that you'll need to get him to stop hiccupping for a while. Maybe a hiccup cure will stun him? Say, if you got him to stand on his head or drink water from the wrong side of the glass... no, those are tough to force him to do. But maybe you can surprise him and scare the hiccups out of him. Except, how are you going to do that?

BAKED ALASKA.

Maybe the ice cream vendor can help; you did grant him those ice cream-creation powers, after all. You wave to him and hope he understands.

It seems he does. He creates a baked alaska right in your hands, then collapses from exhaustion. Holding back the lava and then running all the way over here must have worn him out. Well, guess you'd better make this shot count.

You hurl the Baked Alaska in Hiccuptor's face, startling him. He stops hiccuping for nearly a minute before regaining his composure, giving you lots of time to hiccup. But when he does recover, he simply grins at you unnervingly.

"So, is that how we're going to play this? Very well then."

He snaps his fingers... and your hiccups are gone!

Right when you actually needed them, too.

"I command the hiccups, foolish volcano god. In case you're wondering, the score is 2000 to 1999. In my favor."

He smiles.

"I don't see any need to waste my power generating further hiccups now. I'll just watch you squirm as you realize how doomed you are."

Great. You've got about six minutes to find a way to hiccup twice or you're Hiccuptor's servant, plus he still curses the world (and probably you) with eternal hiccups.

What are you going to do now?
