W1 MONDAY

[dropoffs]

[ Rec room time! There's a set-up for Tw*ster that Metis seems to be looking over with a quiet mumble ]

Don't think these old bones of mine will be capable of this...

[tombtaker]

[ also looking down at. tw*ster. ]

What is it ...

[dropoffs]

[ leaving tw*ster exposed and afraid, how could you alli. ]

Oh, Sir Lucien. Well, it seems to be some manner of... color positioning? I'm afraid I'm not too familiar with this kind of game. [ A pause. ] Though that goes for quite a lot of these. I know of a few card games and Mahjong but that's about the limit of my knowledge.

[tombtaker]

[ he doesn't think he's ever been called sir in his life and it startles him so much he snorts a laugh. wow. ]

You know Crick Queen's Call?

[dropoffs]

[ Sometimes you're (redacted) ]

I'm not familiar. [ But hey, knowledge to learn. ] What is it?

[tombtaker]

Game of cards.

[ looking around for a deck. ]

Cree used to be a dab hand at this. I'll teach you.

[dropoffs]

[ It takes a quick glance but there's an assortment of cards! Oop, not U*o, different kind of cards - ah, there we go. They hand it over to him. ]

Then I'll be in your hands.

[ Teach away! ]

[tombtaker]

[ there ARE official rules for this game, but I fucking refuse to pull another itto I am so sorry I can't spend more of my life writing out instructions for card games that also use too many dice. so please just pretend he does a half decent job of explaining this game. it's similar to poker, but its playable with two people. ]

You want to put money on it?

[dropoffs]

[ I literally handwaved playing mahjong in another thread so you are so valid cause as if i freaken know how to play mahjong. They pay close attention, listening and seem to follow along just fine. They get the gist of it. ]

A wager? [ A small laugh, waving their hand a little. ] Money matters little to me so if that's what you desire, I do not mind. Personally speaking, should I win I would like a tale from you of home.

[tombtaker]

Money doesn't mean anything to me.

[ but sure, he'll sit down and start shuffling the cards. he's practiced and quick at it, cutting the deck with easy movement. ]

Mother told me never to give away a story for free. Seems a good wager to me.

[dropoffs]

Then let's try a hand.

[ Are we 1D20ing this. I want a story. ]

[tombtaker]

[ YUP IT'S GOOD OLD FASHIONED ROLLIES TIME. I got an 11! ]

[dropoffs]

[ Request: [1d20] Roll: [11] Result: 11. I ALSO GOT A 11 WHAT HAPPENS HELP.

I reroll again: Request: [1d20] Roll: [1] Result: 1. Wow. Eat shit, me. They play so poorly. ]

[tombtaker]

[ to be entirely fair, lucien is most definitely palming cards. he does not play fair. ]

Seems as if you're the one that owes me.

[dropoffs]

[ Alas... well, they do not seem all that upset or bothered by a loss. They move right along. ]

Fair is fair. What would you care to learn? A tale from home? I imagine a story of my time here would hardly be as exciting.

[tombtaker]

No lies, if you're going to lose and tell a lie, then it's no loss at all.

[dropoffs]

I have no reason to lie. There are some details I may need to omit regarding home due to my contract, but I can share what I can.

[tombtaker]

[ gesturing with a "go on then" wave. ]
