Ruby + Sapphire

[dramatispersonae]

Through the doors, you find yourselves in a small circular room that seems to be decorated much in the same way as the ring is decorated today. The curtains are in alternating colors of your teams, and in the center stand are three surprisingly lifelike, but faceless sculptures. They stand with their backs to one another, facing out to the chairs. About each of their necks is a cord that holds a sign written in a fine, looping cursive.

I'd rather do that and have fun than play this game.

Re: Discussion

[pchaaair]

So would I, since, at least that sounds like it's a little more fun.

Re: Discussion

[appleofhiseye]

If we had pillows, we could have taken a nap. But poker sounds better if we've got nothing else to do.

Re: Discussion

[pchaaair]

Yeah... and, it's another game that I can learn, so, that's cool.

Re: Discussion

[appleofhiseye]

Do you like learning new games?

Re: Discussion

[pchaaair]

Usually, yeah, but, I mostly just like to learn as much as I can.

Re: Discussion

[appleofhiseye]

Me too. Do you want to play a practice round? I can see if I can show you the basics.

Re: Discussion

[pchaaair]

Sure. Since, I feel like I will need a practice round.

Re: Discussion

[appleofhiseye]

It might not help, since Red cheats. But at least understanding the basics is better than not.

[gonna steal Red's cards so we can practice, then]

Re: Discussion

[pchaaair]

It's still learning.

[awww yeah practicing poker]

Re: Discussion

[appleofhiseye]

[EXPLAINING THE RULES ETC. awww yeahhhh]

Re: Discussion

[pchaaair]

[LEARNING!!

IT'S EXCITING.]

Re: Discussion

[appleofhiseye]

[Way more exciting than coming up with punishments!!]

...I wonder if she'll get mad...

Re: Discussion

[pchaaair]

It is possible, that she could.

Re: Discussion

[appleofhiseye]

We're technically following the rules, so it should be okay. Even if she fusses.

Re: Discussion

[pchaaair]

She can't really get us for disobeying, can she?

Re: Discussion

[appleofhiseye]

Exactly. We did what she asked. It'll be okay.

Re: Discussion

[pchaaair]

Hopefully.

Re: Discussion

[appleofhiseye]

I won't let her hurt anyone. So it'll be fine.

Re: Discussion

[pchaaair]

It'd be kind of hard to stop her, if she decided to try.

Re: Discussion

[appleofhiseye]

Now you're underestimating me.

Re: Discussion

[pchaaair]

Uh. Sorry. I don't mean to do that.

Re: Discussion

[appleofhiseye]

It's okay. I just mean that I'll do everything I can to make sure no one gets hurt. And I'm confident enough that, at least within this room, I can make sure that happens.
