Game Night (Open/Mingle)

[majestic_keiki]

[Following a recent paycheck and as a way of passing time, Kei had acquired a fairly large collection of board games, but such things obviously needs other players. As such a game night is held for the pilots and support staff of Unity Group. The venue? The only place on any of the bases suitable for a large gathering possibly sticking around until late in the night - Asagi's room. Several board games are scattered across the room, taking up both table, bed and floor space, though one table is reserved for snacks. It holds a variety of different ones, centering on a large number of Kei's strange, technicolor cakes, but also featuring more ordinary ones for those without hummingbird metabolisms or who just have a sense of taste.

So what are people playing and how many friendships are ruined by brutal backstabs or lame jokes about what to give in exchange for sheep?]

Capitalism, I guess?

[majestic_keiki]

Doesn't it take really long to play?

[Kei had already helped herself to a big slice of one of her cakes that.]

[herodrawing]

I don't know. I never played it before, but how bad can it be?

[brought_it_back]

Um...I've never done this sort of thing, so...it may take a while for me to understand...

[cloningblues]

Isn't this the infamous game that ruins friendships? Can't we play Arkham Horror instead?

...And why are we playing in my room?

[gold_four]

Oh yeah, a Lovecraft game, that's gonna be so fun. Maybe if there were cute girls or something...

I call the light frigate.

[That's a game piece now.]

[herodrawing]

I don't know what Lovecraft is. But it sounds like girls are involved. And, umm, romance? After all "Love" is in the name.

[Eva has taken to reading the box.]

'Vie for the love of the woman of your dreams-or nightmares. Resist the enticing corruption of the dark powers and save the world, or fall to darkness and embrace the many-tentacled nightmares that lurk on the edge of sanity...'

...A game about interpersonal relationships...

...We will play this one.

[booty_chaser]

Aw man. I wanted to play the other one.

[Playing Monopoly against Ashe would most definitely not be a winning proposition]

[majestic_keiki]

Maybe we can split up to play two different games? Can six people even play this one at the same time?

[brought_it_back]

We will be playing this game.

[herodrawing]

Well. Looks like Eva has a really strong opinion about it so why not?

[booty_chaser]

Wait a minute, Izuru.

You're not here to give orders to the rest of us, Eva. If you want to play with everyone else, you play what we all decide together. So if you want to play this, ask it nicely and we'll see if we all want to.

[Ashe is not about to put up with any That Guy crap, even if it's That Girl]

[gold_four]

Could always... put it to a vote?

[Though admittedly Ataru is unsure which way he'd vote, himself...]

[cloningblues]

Then I vote for Arkham Horror.

And that we'll play it somewhere else.

[herodrawing]

Why? This is the perfect location!

[cloningblues]

It's my room. My private sanctuary!

Why won't we do something at your place for once, Izuru?

[brought_it_back]

I would prefer arkham horror as well, regardless of where it is played.

[herodrawing]

Everyone's already gathering here all the time. It's the most convenient place.

[majestic_keiki]

It feels more homelike to have everyone together and your room has the most convenient location.

[booty_chaser]

Alright then. See, now that you asked nicely, I have no problem with playing Arkham Horror. Let's shoot some tentacle monsters in the face.

And come on, Asagi! We brought the snacks, you put the room, it all works. Relax!

[cloningblues]

...Okay, I'll let it slide. Only because you brought food. But it's the last time!

[majestic_keiki]

But it gets lonely when everybody is in their own rooms.

Anyway, let's set the game up.

[gold_four]

[Ataru is already jotting down possible dates for future usage.]

What are the rules anyway? Do we start from a single spot? Roleplay?

[majestic_keiki]

I think we start from different places...The characters have starting points listed, after all. And I'll let Asagi explain the rules, he knows the game.
