Who: Orange, Arson, Parrot, and any Ophi's that want to scrounge some food
Where: Ophiuchus barracks
When: Day 287, evening
What: Dinner

[Everything is so much harder when you lose an arm! Luckily Orange has a tiny helper giving him a hand (no pun intended) to prepare dinner. Also there is a genderswitched Parrot to complete the family image.]

Pass me those carrots?

Dinner might be a little longer than usual, since Orange here isn't use to being one-armed. But it should be good.

Not used ta bein' one armed? That's a little much ta drop as an off-handed remark! Maim-be ya should gimmie a little more context over here.

You sound like Lucky. Wow. You could be pun buddies.

He's under a game's effect. He's usually younger and properly armed, that girl right there is usually a guy--don't buy her bullshit. Her name is NOT Magical Mary.

And I'm suppose to be a BOY.

No kiddin'? Here I thought the games were just s'pposed ta be for all you colored teams. An' that Lucky sounds like a lady I'll have ta take a chance to meet.

She doesn't like the black teams much.

And sometimes your teams participate in the games. Especially ones like this where people change.

Aw, darn, straight outta the runnin' before I even got ta give her a house call.

I'm sure you'll meet that someone special who makes lots of puns who isn't Lucky.

You're not just foolin'? It's boke, you don't have ta try and comfort me, kid, though it's a real stand-up thing for you ta do.

I'm just a nice guy.

My name is Arson.

The name's Humor. So, as torchin' as this meetin' is, what are you doin' here? I wasn't under the impression folks from the colored teams got ta spend much time in the snake pit.

Ugh don't mention that guy...

I'm just here to help Mr. One-Arm here out since he's not use to his current situation. We're from the same place.

So I couldn't keep him ah.

Out on a limb?

Haha, pretty good! You're gettin' a handle on it! The wrist will come ta you in time!

I just can't put my finger on it but something about it is a little fun. Even if it is a little cheesy.

I like 'em enough ta have left myself two in my message, so I'm keepin' on with 'em.

...you left them in your MESSAGE?

Yep. 'M still a little confused as ta theme he picked, but there's two of 'em in there.

Was it a being devoured by the earth or snakes theme...

Nope. Roses.

. . .if that was a clue for yourself I would worry about your priorities, sir.

Thanks. I don't dig it either.

Maybe it was uh....a metaphor...

Nope, 'm pretty sure there's not much to it. "Don't be thorn about this now, who rose what ya might get outta this." Whatever sales pitch they soild me on musta been pretty good ta lead me down the primrose path, but there's no goin' back now.

Well, a wish is a pretty big thing to get.

Haha, we'll see. I'm probably jus' a careless guy, with some bent for gardenin'. Though I don't feel like I'm over-flowerin' with passion for it here.

Well this place is a fertile ground for coming up with new wishes.
