THE VOICE (Presumibly that of God?)

Graveyard again.

You have encountered A Rather Large, Smiling Black Man!
What do you do?
>Greet customer and ring him up


I do not understand this "ring him up"


>greet customer


"Hey how ya doin' boy?" he asks you.


"I'm still breathing somehow, how are you?" you reply.


"I'm doin' just great, boy," he starts, pointing to a button on his shirt. This button features a painting of a young lady with long black hair. "I've got my sister with me - that's her on this pin, I keep her close to my heart - see she died two months ago..."


The man tells you a story of how through God's will and God's will alone he just so happened to visit his sister the weekend before she suddenly died without warning.


>say "I'm so sorry about your sister"


You tell the man "I'm so sorry about your sister," and continue ringing up his purchases. The man goes on to tell you about how this has prompted him to start singing.


>I thought you didn't understand this "ring him up" >:(


I do not understand this "I thought you didn't understand this "ring him up" >:(."


>ask about singing


You ask the man about his singing, and he identifies himself as "THE VOICE." THE VOICE wants to sing for you.


>let him sing


You don't have any other customers in the store and your friend is fronting and facing product to stave off boredom. You let him go ahead and sing. The man informs you that he'll just sing about twenty seconds of a song he wrote a week or two ago, and proceeds to start singing gospel. Twenty seconds in, he sounds absolutely awful. What do you do?


>Smile and let him continue


The man appeared to only have a frog in his throat, or perhaps he should have warmed up a little beforehand, because now he sounds great! But now he's staring you straight in the eye and grinning a maniacal grin as he sings what amounts to a dirge. What do you do?


>Smile and let him continue


The mans eyes are now wild like those of a rabid dogs, and you notice just how long and yellow his teeth are. He still stares you directly in the eye, but you can't help but look away every few seconds, trying to make it look like you're just trying to concentrate on his singing. The stare is starting to terrify you and it chills to the bone. what do you do?


>Smile and let him continue


The man sings another couple verses and, without warning, stops and turns for the door looking insulted and angry. What do you do?


>snap fingers and tell him he's good


You snap your fingers repeatedly like a beatnik and complement him on his skills. The man thanks you, promises you a demo CD that he will bring by sometime in the next week, and leaves. Your friend returns from fronting and facing and looks at you standing there. No one is quite sure just what happened. What do you do?


>die a little inside


You die a little inside.
