Who: everyone
When: Day 35 morning
Where: the lounge car

[This morning, or whenever you wake up, you will find that there are delicious smells wafting from the lounge car. Upon investigation, one will discover a beautiful spread of hot cocoa and tea and coffee and many marshmallow animals, ideal for putting in your drinks or simply eating wholesale. It isn't just cats either, but many animals of a similar quality of marshmallow, whatever kinds you'd like. But you may find the warm fuzzies they impart might be a bit more than internal.

In a conspicuous place is a note in handwriting many of you may find quite familiar at this point:

Thanks for your help.

- Hazel

His signature isn't alone, either. There are a couple of others, though somehow they're far less readable? Some are definitely just little drawings. Weird.]

[[ooc notes: 10% furry event!! many marshmallows have no effect, but those that do will instill temporary animal parts up to a kemonomimi level! enjoy your ears and tails, folks. and your newbies.]]

Comments

[bad_crowmance]

That's the attitude! You're gonna do just fine here.

[schrodingerscockroach]

[Aaaaah, more praise. It's still kind of weird to get? At least for stuff like this.]

I'll do my best.

[bad_crowmance]

That's all anyone can ask for.

[schrodingerscockroach]

[Hopefully he can live up to expectation. He wants to, but he is pretty much following impulses.]

Thanks.

Still have to work on my name, but what's yours?

[bad_crowmance]

[ 99% of Crow's impulse control is Rean Schwarzer, he's not going to judge. ]

The name's Crow! And don't worry about it, just lemme know when you figure out the name situation.

[schrodingerscockroach]

Will do. Nice to meet you, Crow.

So, covered the basics. What do you do for fun around here?

[This is bonding, right?]

[bad_crowmance]

[ His first impulse is to give a decidedly nsfw answer, but he restrains himself with the 1% of control he keeps to himself. ]

Well, personally I like to play card games.

[schrodingerscockroach]

[That might be for the best. Or not. Wash does have hilarious reactions when flustered.]

Card games...seem fun, I think. Poker, black jack, other?

[bad_crowmance]

Poker's a personal favourite but I'm always up for blackjack too. I've also got a couple of Blade decks, but I haven't had much of a chance to introduce people to that game yet.

[schrodingerscockroach]

Well I could be your first student?

[bad_crowmance]

[ Crow immediately perks up--not that he'd been looking particularly unhappy before, but there's definitely a gleeful air about him that wasn't there before. ]

I'd love to!

[schrodingerscockroach]

Then lets give it a try. Might be a good break from world ending exposition.

[If it relies on luck at all, he's gonna eat it, his luck is terrible.]

[bad_crowmance]

Wanna get settled and check everything out first or just jump right into things?

[schrodingerscockroach]

....we can jump in. I've been getting a lot so far, might be good to take a break.

[bad_crowmance]

Alright, let's grab a table and I'll break it down for you.

[schrodingerscockroach]

Lead the way.

[Grabbing them more marshmallows and a fresh cup of cocoa, but will follow otherwise.]

[bad_crowmance]

[ The lounge has plenty of low tables, so he grabs one near some chairs and sits down before he pulls out two decks of cards and slides one over to Wash. ]

This is a Blade deck.

[ He lays out each of the cards. ]

Each player draws ten cards from their deck. The idea is to be the guy with the highest point value by the end of the game. So there's the number value cards, one through seven, and some specialty cards too.

[schrodingerscockroach]

[He'll take the deck, looking them over, nodding thoughtfully.]

[Pauses at the Force card. Oooooh, that does look like a cool combo.]

[....okay, he may like weapons.]

Is it a kind of battle card game?

[bad_crowmance]

Kind of! It's a strategy game, the specialty cards are what makes it interesting.

[ He points to the Force card Wash was eyeing. ]

This one, for example, can double your current points value.

[schrodingerscockroach]

[He nods.] Sounds like a powerful card then.

[bad_crowmance]

Yeah but it's definitely one you're gonna want to save for the right time or it'll all become worthless.

[ He points to the Bolt card. ]

This one removes the last card your opponent played.... under most circumstances, though if your opponent has a "1" card, they can use it to restore it.

[schrodingerscockroach]

Well yeah, gotta save your aces.

[He nods, laying down one of each card.] Can't think of many games that put a lot of value in the '1' card. Kind of cool.

[bad_crowmance]

Yeah, I think it's pretty cool too. Very situational, but it can definitely save your ass.

[ He points to the Mirror card. ]

This one swaps your your active cards with your opponent's. So if your opponent's got a much better hand than you do, you can swap 'em.

[schrodingerscockroach]

Ah, the dick move card. Fun.

[bad_crowmance]

[ Crow cracks up. ]

Well, you're not wrong!
