Even a surplus of suffering gets boring after a while, hmm? Funny...

Say, Captain. Next time let's stop at a beach or something. Or maybe you could make a driveby of Tokyo. I'd appreciate the chance for a shopping spree, here. My wardrobe hasn't had an infusion of new things in weeks. It's terrible.

[A put-upon little sigh.] Not to get my hopes up, is anyone around here up for a game?

Depends on the game. Can I play it from my cabin?

[plays]

I would hate to make you work, so: naturally.

[buildindreemz]

In case you didn't notice, I died a few days ago. Still getting my strength back. [Glad to see you care, Joshua.]

What sort of game is it?

[plays]

[Your inmate is... a huge dick. :( You knew that, Ariadne! It's why he's an inmate!] Well, you're back, aren't you? No hiccups? No missing memories or unfortunate losses? That's a gimmie, Ariadne.

Anyway, I'm the generous type, so you can choose. Would you like twenty questions? Which would you rather? Word association? Something weirder?

Text -- he's bored in the infirmary

[tatty_bye]

And what manner of game would this be?

[plays]

I'm a giver, so you can take your pick. Twenty questions? Truth or dare? Word association? Shiritori? Something else? Something weirder? Something of your own design?

[tatty_bye]

We'll start simple, I suppose. Word association.

[plays]

Do you want to kick us off, or shall I?

[mattersverymuch]

Tokyo could be interesting. [ Not the aboveground parts, obviously. ]

Is it a pointless game?

[plays]

Tokyo is an interesting kind of place. [He agrees, to be honest. The Underground is the most interesting! C:]

Would you like to play a game for high stakes?

[mattersverymuch]

So I've heard.

Not if it's pointless and not if I don't know the stakes.

[truth_is_cold]

What sort of game? [It's a bad idea for him to spar right now. Cerebral would probably be better.]

[zeitgeists]

Whatever you want, stranger. Do you have a preference or would you rather leave it up to me?

[truth_is_cold]

Chess. Go. Cards. I'd prefer something that I would have to concentrate on.

[knowsaboutanger]

Or we could, you know, go back home.

[plays]

Well, duh, dear. That's home for some of us.

[knowsaboutanger]

Different universes, though. Your 'home' might not be somebody else's 'home'.

And don't call me dear.

[A burst of laughter. He's genuinely delighted for a moment. He wasn't really expecting to hear from Edward, and to have a game offered? Excellent.]

Private;

[plays]

Meet. Mere. Sear. Soar.

[... Okay, so he played fast and loose with the rules for a second there. Nothing was disallowed.]

Private;

[insolubleriddle]

One letter at a time, Joshua.

Soar. Roar. Road. Read.

[surrenders]

You wait weeks?

[zeitgeists]

Lua, dear, I can't actually read your mind. You're going to have to give me a bit more to go off than that.

[surrenders]

You wait that long, you'll be out of fashion twice. [Super not serious here, she knows he thinks it's fun to get it back from her.]
