Game 140

Who: Anyone
Where: The Arena
When: Day 229, noonish
What: [On the throne today is a smiling youth, face ringed by black curls. He has a harp-like instrument in his lap and a pen behind his ear. It's been a while since any have seen him, but, perhaps, to the oldest and most keen observers here, he seems perhaps a touch thinner than last time. The Arena is not terribly decorated for his appearance, indeed, if not for the statue sitting there, one would not be sure this was really a call at all.]

Good afternoon, duckies, good afternoon! Who's ready for some wholesome (and platonic!) self-exploration and completely non-fatal fun, hmm? I know I certainly am. Yes, I'm sure you've all been having just unbearable amounts of fun, but you know, let's just- . . .

[clears his throat]

Ahem. Sorry, I was saying, let's just slow it down. Maybe, oh, I don't know, talk about our feelings a while.

((Technically, yes, this is a loser game, but anyone can play.))

[here, suddenly, barefoot with his pants legs rolled up, feet wet, and a basket of fish]

I hate it when this happens.

You eat too much.

And yet, my nutritionist would probably kill me. Good to see you too.

Yeah, well. I ain't cheery enough for nice things.

[shrugs: aaand that would be true]

And that's it, this game?

Pretty much. Lemme give you a papercut an' we're done.

[and I can go back to hiding in my room]

Papercut? Huh.

[offers up his hand]

I enjoyed hunting with your team.

Thanks. I know Mits and Emil appreciate it.

[nods] Hold out your hand.

Right.

[holds out his hand, sleeve slipping so you can see the scar tissue ring around his wrist]

[giving him a paper cut... and the scars a curious look]

[shackles, defensive wounds, surgery, tattoos! take your pick of interesting stuff. Chaz doesn't move for few seconds, then shakes his sleeve back down.]

...

I'm Nightshade.

I'm sorry that we couldn't be a better partner team for Orion.

I think we made the best of an awkward situation: I'm sorry it didn't always work out very well.

You can still come to Cepheus whenever you need anything.

[offers a hand]

I'll try not to forget that.

[...eh, paper cutting can wait a sec. shakes your hand, first, firmly.]

...

[:O]

You did a fine job. Don't worry about it too much. Ready?

[holds up the paper]

Hey... I'm sorry I haven't been by lately. I still care about you guys though. I want to meet your newer teammates.

I haven't been out too much lately myself. I...try not to impose on you by randomly visiting, I know it's intrusive for a lot of reasons.

You should come by: they like everyone who isn't a jerk to them first.

Ah. Is that happening a lot?

Jerks? Not really. Which is good for them, so I can't complain.
