[ not only is the meme funny for only andie and me, but also, i'm very late on this. it's fine. Anyway, the door opens when they ring the bell ... the room is the same as last time either of them were here. Hm, but where's blue?

blue is the lump shaped blanket on the floor, probably. this is fine. ]

[oathic]

[agni has board games and blue's questionable taste in food, which agni presumably requested from peach whenever i get around to it in our thread, but—]

... Blue?

[survivaltricks]

[. . . . . . . BLUE. . . . . . .]

[no game night is complete without coffee, so Akira has brought three (3) thermoses of the life-giving elixir to this event! he places both aside as he casually approaches the blanket mound in the middle of the floor tho]

Heeeeeey Blue. . . you feeling okay?

[cluedin]

[

the bundle of blanket nods ]

Yes.

[ get out of the blanket, blue. ]

[oathic]

[agni starts placing things on the floor...]

Are you cold or something?

[survivaltricks]

[grabs the edge of the blanket and peers underneath it]

If so, I have something that'll warm you up pretty quickly.

[cluedin]

[ ... they take off the blanket from their head with a little huff. and they might finally catch the issue, as blue's appearance flickers from something familiar for one and unfamiliar for the other. they... are pouty. ]

They told me you would question it.

[ the girls told blue but blue!! wanted to try the blanket method anyway!!!! ]

[oathic]

[he blinks.]

... Well, it was a good attempt! If you said you were trying to build a blanket fort, I would've believed it.

[survivaltricks]

[. . . Akira also blinks. huh. . . but that's actually not surprising to him, considering what he heard from good ol' (insert eldritch house noises here)]

I would've, too. Chuuya and I already have a pillow fort set up in our bedroom.

We could make one together, if you'd like.

[cluedin]

[ they blink at both of them and think about it ]

The girls used to make those. They would take ... all the blankets. [ they look around the room ] There are not enough blankets.

[oathic]

I could grab the blankets from my room...?

[survivaltricks]

I'd offer that too, but. . .

[hm!]

We could ask the girls for some blankets, too?

[cluedin]

[ they pull the blanket back over their head so only their face is peeking out. both of them. in flickering unison. ]

No. It is game night. You are here to play games. The girls are busy.

[ ... are they pouting about that, too... ]

[oathic]

Maybe next time, then!

[agni'll just move the food closer to blue, then.

with that done, from the games, agni pulls out... this. thank jae for hello kitty sugoroku]

Zenitsu suggested this! He wants us to let him know afterwards if it's fun.

[survivaltricks]

[god that's so uncanny valley. but Akira plops onto the ground next to blue, passing them a thermos of coffee]

[and then he deadeyes the game that Agni brought]

. . . what is it?

[cluedin]

[ it takes them a second, but they take the thermos, seeming surprised it's for them. i hope there's a lot of sugar in that coffee otherwise blue will look like they have been Betrayed.

they peer at the game ]

... Pumpkin's game?

[ all the games are technically pumpkin's, blue. you own this. ]

[oathic]

It's called sugoroku, apparently. I've never played it before.

[survivaltricks]

[yes it has LOTS OF SUGAR in it. Akira figured that's how Blue liked it after peeps chili]

Ah-- I've heard of sugoroku. I've never played it either, though.

This will be a learning experience.

[cluedin]

I have...

[ ... ]

Not played it?

[ they sound unsure. ]

[oathic]

Great! Then we're all starting as beginners.

[grabbing some peeps chili...]

[survivaltricks]

[handing Agni some coffee too. coffee for everyone!!]

Which means no one can use their experience to be underhanded.

[cluedin]

[ blue is not partaking in anything unless it's directly handed to them. im sorry they are just like that. still, they look at the game board intently ]

What are... the rules?

[oathic]

[blue... agni will hand over some gummi worm pudding to them, before he opens the game to look at the rules.]

Hm... we roll dice to advance our piece, and stuff happens depends on the space we land? You wanna be the one who reaches the end first.

[aka it's japanese snakes and ladders]

[survivaltricks]

Oh, that's easy.

[I LOVE SNAKES AND LADDERS]

Do we roll the dice to see who goes first, too?

[cluedin]

[ blue is picking the gummi worms out of the pudding with their hand and just. licking off the pudding before just. keeping the worm in their mouth for a bit. this is fine. ]

Youngest first. Those are the rules.

[ can you tell who made up those rules in the household. ]
