Game 140

[messagingly.insanejournal.com]

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.))

Tch! I hate those.

[pulls his hand back]

Re: [HYDRA]

[crossboundaries.insanejournal.com]

They really sting...

Re: [HYDRA]

[righthandsmoke.insanejournal.com]

And right there . . . It's a shitty spot for them.

[looks down at his hand] [nods]

It's even worse than under the nail bed

Re: [HYDRA]

[righthandsmoke.insanejournal.com]

Or getting stabbed . . .

Re: [HYDRA]

[crossboundaries.insanejournal.com]

...It might not be worse than getting stabbed, depending...

Re: [HYDRA]

[righthandsmoke.insanejournal.com]

I'd rather be stabbed. I'm used to ignoring that.

Re: [HYDRA]

[crossboundaries.insanejournal.com]

[considers]

Depends where you're stabbed. And if it's poisoned.

Re: [HYDRA]

[righthandsmoke.insanejournal.com]

That's a good point.

Re: [HYDRA]

[crossboundaries.insanejournal.com]

Papercuts won't generally be poisoned... probably. And don't go very deep.

Re: [HYDRA]

[righthandsmoke.insanejournal.com]

Probably . . . It'd be easier for a paper to hold onto poison though. It soaks well.

Re: [HYDRA]

[crossboundaries.insanejournal.com]

[considers that]

Would it work when dry? I don't know poisons well... but you can't get a papercut from damp paper... I think.

Re: [HYDRA]

[righthandsmoke.insanejournal.com]

It depends on the kind of poison. Some might work well like that, some wouldn't work at all.

Re: [HYDRA]

[crossboundaries.insanejournal.com]

...Some papercuts could be worse, then. [nods]

Re: [HYDRA]

[righthandsmoke.insanejournal.com]

Yeah . . . It's a good thing Messenger kept control of the game.

[this face]

Re: [HYDRA]

[righthandsmoke.insanejournal.com]

She's probably thinking about it now that we've been talking about it.

Re: [HYDRA]

[crossboundaries.insanejournal.com]

Maybe that was a mistake...

Re: [HYDRA]

[righthandsmoke.insanejournal.com]

She's . . . She'd do something like that anyway. She can't help how she is.

Re: [HYDRA]

[crossboundaries.insanejournal.com]

No...I know. The judges are how they are.
