[ 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.

[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. ]

[oathic]

So, Akira first! ... Though then we have to figure out who's older between me and Blue.

[survivaltricks]

. . . that sounds like a Pupmkin rule.

[HM]

How old are you, Blue?

[cluedin]

Time is subjective.

[ that's not an answer, blue? but they point at akira. they are also talking with their mouth full of gummi worms. ]

Youngest, and then clockwork from there.

[oathic]

[honestly that's fair and it also means agni doesn't have to try and figure out how old he is either because that could get to be very complicated]

Works for me!

[survivaltricks]

[you immortals and your weird. . . ages. . .]

[reaches out for a game piece and the dice]

Me too. For once, my age benefits me.

[cluedin]

Yes. Is there a dog?

[ blue is looking at the game pieces. there is not, but. they want a dog. ]

[oathic]

Uh... I think there are just cats, cats, and more cats.

[it's hello kitty]

[survivaltricks]

Cats are just as good as dogs.

[cat ear flick, as though to prove that point]

[cluedin]

Peach is a cat. If I pick a cat, it is bias.

[ they say this very solemnly. ]

[oathic]

Hm... I've got my coin on me. Want to just use that as your piece?

[survivaltricks]

Oh. . .

[. . . yeah that's fair :( can't show bias among the sisters]

[cluedin]

Mm...

[ they grab a peep from the chili and put it on the board. blue. blue there's chili all over the board now. ]

Bird.
