Who: YOU (=
Where: Arena
When: Day 79, Morning
What: GAME

[You find the arena littered with butterflies, per usual, and while there is no seating provided, there floor is carpeted with cool, springy grass. There are also twelve blackboards placed against a long, white wall.]

Good morning, everyone. Please wait while everyone gathers. I understand that lately many of the games have caused great stress, while this is, perhaps, to be expected, I think it is fair to allow for breaks as well. Today's game will be simple, if challenging, and there will be no cause for harm, nor any punishments.

Make yourselves comfortable, we will begin shortly.

And you're small now, so. A while ago.

Re: [Winners]

[byallmeans.insanejournal.com]

I'm not that small.

Re: [Winners]

[in_the_chair.insanejournal.com]

Smaller than us. ... which admittedly includes me and Chaz.

Re: [Winners]

[byallmeans.insanejournal.com]

Exactly.

Almost everyone is smaller than you and Chaz.

Re: [Winners]

[in_the_chair.insanejournal.com]

Yeah, but Carly...

[pause]

Actually, I dunno who's taller there.

Re: [Winners]

[byallmeans.insanejournal.com]

Between who?

Re: [Winners]

[in_the_chair.insanejournal.com]

You and her.

Re: [Winners]

[byallmeans.insanejournal.com]

[Thaaat would be her. By probably a good five inches.]

I can't say I've wasted time checking.

Re: [Winners]

[in_the_chair.insanejournal.com]

Is it a waste of time if it takes five seconds?

Anyway. I'm glad you've got a family like that.

Re: [Winners]

[byallmeans.insanejournal.com]

...mm. I am, too.

Re: [Winners]

[byallmeans.insanejournal.com]

I was starting to think-

[Pauses. Thinks about that. Decides not to finish the sentence, after all.]

-well. It's not important. I am too, though.

Re: [Winners]

[in_the_chair.insanejournal.com]

... what's not important?

Re: [Winners]

[byallmeans.insanejournal.com]

[Gives his head a shake.]

It doesn't matter. I was wrong, anyway.

Re: [Winners]

[in_the_chair.insanejournal.com]

[not entirely satisfied with that, but... he shrugs.]

Missing family members isn't uncommon here. Wolf doesn't have any, and all I really remember is a stepfather.

... but better to remember a happy one, yeah?

Re: [Winners]

[byallmeans.insanejournal.com]

[...caught the implication of that. :|]

What about your brother?

Re: [Winners]

[in_the_chair.insanejournal.com]

[:((( rubs at the back of his neck.]

Dunno. He ran away from home when I was six or seven. I don't remember seeing him again.

Re: [Winners]

[byallmeans.insanejournal.com]

Your mother?

Re: [Winners]

[in_the_chair.insanejournal.com]

Starfleet commander. Always off on some mission somewhere.

Re: [Winners]

[byallmeans.insanejournal.com]

...and you weren't happy with your step-father.

Re: [Winners]

[in_the_chair.insanejournal.com]

That's one way of putting it. I remember two pretty huge fights with him, and I doubt I have any better memories coming.

Re: [Winners]

[byallmeans.insanejournal.com]

[.......baaad with offering sympathy.]

Re: [Winners]

[in_the_chair.insanejournal.com]

Anyway, not the point. The point is this: if you were worried about not having a family one way or another, it's entirely justified.

Re: [Winners]

[byallmeans.insanejournal.com]

I never said I was worried about anything.

Re: [Winners]

[in_the_chair.insanejournal.com]

Because it's not important?

Re: [Winners]

[byallmeans.insanejournal.com]

Because it was something different.
