    Zikoko stares at their phone as they walk into a bar.

    Tequila: Zikoko?

    Zikoko: Hmm? 

    Tequila: Zikoko!

    Zikoko: 

    Tequila: Join me

    Zikoko: No, thank you.

    Tequila: Ahan, are we not friends again?

    Zikoko: When did we become friends?

    Tequila: Zikoko!! Feel free, relax.

    Zikoko looks around the full bar.

    Tequila: It’s for me. They’re here for me.

    Zikoko: Is it your birthday?

    Tequila:

    Zikoko: 

    Tequila: You’re joking, right? Obviously, you know why they gathered for me.

    Zikoko: 

    Tequila: Ahan. My album just dropped na. Hot stuff, fire music.

    Are you hearing that song right now? That’s me.

    Zikoko: Actually, that’s AG baby.

    Tequila: What’s the name of the album?

    Zikoko: That doesn’t matter. 

    Tequila: Just say it.

    Zikoko: Tequila Ever After.

    Tequila: Gbam. That’s it. The album and I are namesakes, which means the album is mine.

    Zikoko: That’s not how it goes.

    Tequila: Tequila Ever After. I’ve become a legend.

    Zikoko: Because Adekunle Gold put “Ever After” beside your name?

    Tequila: I’ve been a legend before then. Don’t look at me with small eyes, I’m big. Big buzz, if you try me, you go loss.

    Zikoko: Who dashed you?

    Tequila: 

    What’s your favourite liquor?

    Zikoko: Wine

    Tequila:

    Tequila pours a clear liquid into a shot glass.

    Tequila: Drink.

    Zikoko sighs and takes the shot.

    Tequila: How was it? Shebi it was smooth?

    Zikoko: That doesn’t prove anything

    Tequila: It does. I do my work, and I do my work well. No complaints.

    Zikoko: (under breath) Gin does her work well too.

    The music in the bar stops and everyone turns to Zikoko.
