[ And there's Plum, promptly answering the call of her bell as usual, though she looks a little confused (or is it concerned) at the location it's coming from ... ]

Hello, sir. Was there something I could do for you?

[slobjection]

[ it's time to play monopoly. ]

Hey, Plum. How busy are you right now?

[cluedin]

[ no ]

I am currently busy answering a guest's call, sir.

[ so. you know, she's not that busy ]

[slobjection]

I didn't interrupt you from anything important, did I?

[cluedin]

Of course not, sir. There is nothing more important than the guests.

[ she would say that even if he had. ]

[slobjection]

Oh, I'm not too important.

I did want to give you a little break, though.

[cluedin]

[ she could be nice and disagree.

she does not. ]

I see. Is that why you have summoned me here?

[slobjection]

[ don't hold back, plum! ]

Do you know how to play poker?

[cluedin]

[ . . . ]

Pardon?

[slobjection]

Poker.

[cluedin]

... I know the basics, I suppose?

[slobjection]

I'm teaching Peach.... so I could teach you too, if you want.

[cluedin]

[ ... ]

I suppose, but... what for?

[slobjection]

Could be fun, no? A game with your sisters. Or me.

Your pokerface would be very impressive.

[cluedin]

I don't know why you would believe that, sir. I wear my heart on my sleeve.

[ believable ]

[slobjection]

Absolutely.

[ believable. ]

How about it?

[cluedin]

I suppose I have nothing to lose but time. Very well, sir. If it would please you.

[slobjection]

Thanks for humoring me.

[ time for poker shenanigans i refuse to be specific ]

Think Master Blue would like poker?

[cluedin]

[ bold of you to assume i know enough about poker to be specific ]

Most likely. The Master likes all sorts of games and hobbies.

[slobjection]

[ yea just pretend poker teachins are happening ]

Maybe the four of you could play it together when things calm down.

[ if things calm down. ]

[cluedin]

Perhaps. [ #doubt ] Are you planning to teach Pumpkin and Peach as well?

[slobjection]

Taught Peach already. Pumpkin's next on my list, but she's a little more elusive.

[ andie is dying of work so i cant harass her ]

[cluedin]

She comes when called... eventually.

[ e v e n t u a l l y ]

[slobjection]

I'll be patient, then.

[cluedin]

She is the most likely of us to already have a basis for it, at least.

[ because. games. ]
