Week 5 Sleepover

[deadlygoals]

[ It's the same time and the same place. There are some changes this week. For starters, each mattress now has two mattresses stacked on top. There's an increase amount of pillows (over 12) and there's all the bedding that goes to each. Dazai has also stretched some fabric across the bottom half of the window and nailed it in place.

The other big difference is that they seem to be missing someone... Ango's spot is empty. ]

He's supposed to be here already. That idiot...

[ It's what they did since the beginning. ]

Maybe a little after midnight? You can get some sleep. I can wake you up then.

[ Most killings happen after one in the morning. ]

[reanbeans]

No, I'll be fine.

[ Says the protag who has some darkness underneath his eyes from lack of sleep and constant patrolling. ]

...I won't be able to sleep until I'm sure he's okay, anyway.

[deadlygoals]

[ He see that touch of darkness under his eyes. Sighing as he looks at Rean, and deciding if everything is fine tomorrow, he's dragging Rean to nap before the trial. ]

Okay. Let's play cards for a bit, then.

[reanbeans]

...Poker, then? I'd say Blade or Vantage Masters, but we don't really have a deck here.

[ Sadly. And yeah, god willing things go okay that probably was for the best. ]

[deadlygoals]

Are we playing for something?

[ Snagging the deck of cards to shuffle. Also he may cheat ]

What's Blade of Vantage Masters?

[reanbeans]

[ Careful, Rean's used to Crow and Ash cheating in card games... ]

How about one of us plays for telling the winner a warm or silly memory?

[ Keeping it light! ]

Blade or Vantage Masters. They're two separate card games.

Basically, they involve knocking the points off your enemy so that you have higher ones and win the game. But they're very involved. I can tell you the rules if you'd like.

[deadlygoals]

[ Time to test Rean's cheater catching skills.

He almost smiles at that. Rean is a pure. ]

Yeah, we can do that.

[ Thinking about the card games. ]

Maybe we'll get the chance to play it. Go ahead and share the rules, while I deal.

[ He doesn't have hope they will get to play it, but... the idea is kind of nice. ]

[reanbeans]

[ He has master sensing/catching cheating skills, since Crow taught him well. But it won't be too obvious until Dazai made his attempt... ]

Alright. Please listen closely.

[ An explanation goes here about Blade. Also Vantage Masters but please I hate that card game so it can diaf. ]

Did you understand all of that?

[deadlygoals]

[ How good is he at spotting anyone counting cards or memorizing every scruff mark, possible scratch, or feel of every card? Dazai is insane when he wants to be.

Anyways, half way through the long shuffling he'll pause because it sounded like Rean just said dicking in that explanation. And then he heard the word again. It's the players must dick again that probably gets a noticeable reaction from Dazai. He may be a mob executive, but he's still also a teen with his friend and crush saying dick a few times earnestly.

Looking away as a dusting of red colors his face. ]

Yeah, I think I have the gist. We might be able to play using seven cards of each suit.

[ Later though. They have poker to play now. He's just going to pretend his mind didn't go any where beyond the card game. ]

[reanbeans]

[ Rean won't really hone in on counting cards, or feeling them up. Though scruff marks/scratch examination might catch his eye.

And dear lord before I linked that totally forgot that word was written in the explanation, sorry Dazai...

He wondered what was wrong with the other for a moment, but focused on his words soon enough. ]

That'd be nice, actually. Just like old times.

[ The other words slip out, by accident, and he suddenly felt less enthusiastic about playing Blade, but that's not Dazai's fault. He's not the one who made him reminisce of a certain grey-haired male, with a trickster smile, and with that 50 Mira coin - he'll shake his head. ]

Are you finished with the deck?

[deadlygoals]

[ Just keep thinking, Rean. It'll come to you. ]

Did you play it a lot back in your world?

[ The expression isn't going to change on his face, but he will meet Rean's eyes this time to keep him from thinking too hard on why he might be reacting. ]

Yeah, I'm finished.

[ Dealing them both two cards each. ]

[reanbeans]

[ It will. Though he won't voice it. ]

...A long while ago. So, I'm bound to be rather rusty at this point.

[ Too late...!

But, he'll take the card with a small smile. ]

[deadlygoals]

You can get back in top form by teaching me.

[ A beat ]

Just might want... a different word for that.

[ He's not sure if he can keep a straight face if he has to hear Rean say dick again.

Giving him another card. ] Ready?
