[ Crow grabs a bingo card and looks up from it after a moment. ]

Alright, let's do this!

[time5kip]

[ He's checking his bingo card like he's just not sure how serious this is ]

Can't I just strangle someone and call it a day instead?

[time5kip]

Let's hear it then. What have you got...?

[bad_crowmance]

Several things! Bet you I can get more squares than you.

[ "Making a bet" is, as it just so happens, one of his squares. ]

[time5kip]

You're gonna lose that bet. But optimism's an admirable trait, so. Keep it up.

[bad_crowmance]

Oh, is that what you think!

[ Crow grins at that. ]

Five hundred sparks says you're wrong.

[time5kip]

No reason to keep the wage so low. Let's make it a thousand and if we tie up, it doesn't count.

[bad_crowmance]

[ FINALLY, SOMEONE WHO SPEAK'S CROW'S LANGUAGE. ]

You've got yourself a bet!

[time5kip]

[ There is the vaguest hint of amusement on his face but whether it's real or not is anyone's guess ]

Good. I like the attitude, by the way. Ready to take on a challenge.

It's terrible misguided, don't get me wrong, you have no idea what you're getting into. But I like it enough.

[bad_crowmance]

You're sassy, I like that. Now let's see if you can put any action to it or if you're all talk.

[time5kip]

Well. Guess we'll just have to see about that, won't we.

But on a marginally related note, I'm new and this is my first game. I'll be appreciative of any advice you might be having for me.

[bad_crowmance]

Thought I didn't recognize your face. I'm Crow and this--

[ He gestures around broadly. ]

--is one of the easier ones so you're lucky. Most of it'll be common sense kinda stuff, hit up everyone and see how many squares you can hit in one go. Like I'm guessing you had a square asking for advice.

[time5kip]

You catch on fast. Obviously I wouldn't have asked if I didn't have it, but it's still good information to have.

What are the hardest one like? Pure curiousity, this time. And I'm Five.

[bad_crowmance]

[ He's guessing that's his name and not, you know, his age. ]

I like to think so too.

[ He winks at Five before tucking his hands behind his head. ]

The hard ones, huh...? Well those are the ones that like to punish you if you don't live up to the standards of the guy running the game. Maybe they'll tell you you've gotta kill one guy to save the rest and everyone gets maimed if you don't. Maybe you'll end up hallucinating or with body parts turned into glass or clockwork like that.

[malignstar]

One of these again, huh?

[malignstar]

Is that on your card?

[bad_crowmance]

Guess so! Well, at least it'll be an easy win for me.

[ He says with complete confidence. ]
