[misfortunes]

[ a yawwwwwn, loud amid the sound of crackling leaves. ]

Noisy, noisy. . .

[ a soft and startled burst of laughter, as if there's a joke to be found in that. more leaves rustle dryly before he seems to recall himself. ]

—oh. I don't suppose anybody has enough to spare at the moment for a game. . . ?

One does suppose that depends upon what sort of game you have in mind.

[misfortunes]

There's a saying for that sort of thing, isn't there. . . ? [ helpfully - ] For a particular sort, a game is a game is a game!

[indecent_butterfly]

Then it is left to wonder what sort One might be. For this One does play many, many games.

[misfortunes]

And are you proposing to play them all at once. . . ?

[indecent_butterfly]

Not at all. Some of the penalties don't work well with others.

[misfortunes]

Choose your favorite, then!

[indecent_butterfly]

One's favorite game or penalty?

[misfortunes]

The two sounded rather related in your eyes before.

[indecent_butterfly]

One's favorite game usually involves tempting angels to fall from grace but this One is not so sure you fit the requirements.

But hide and seek is always a pleasant alternative.

[ lauuuuuuuughter. polite laughter. ]

And have you any thoughts for third place?

[indecent_butterfly]

Would you prefer board, chance, or mental games?

[misfortunes]

My preference. . . ? Let's think—how would you call your luck?

[indecent_butterfly]

One does have the devil's luck.
