Issue #72

[mistconduct]

[Chris, newly healed, is standing outside the Enclosure. He's looking characteristically excited, eyes gleaming]

Okay. Okay, just go with me on this.

What if this....

[He jerks his thumb back at the Enclosure's door]


....plus this?


[He brings a large box into view, holding it up in both hands.

It's Jumanji - the board game.]


Ten minutes. Get your shit and let's go.

That includes you, Omar.

Comments

I will happily take both!

[mistconduct]

It's Jumanji, dude.

Jumanji. A game for those who seek to find a way to leave their world behind.

I FEEL LIKE ONE OF THEM WILL BE TOO SMART TO DO IT, but WHICH?

[sssiiiiirrrrr]

We are riding a flying prison through the stars, Chris, how much further do you seek to leave your world behind?

[Pause. He does like games though.]

How do you play it?

Chris preys on ignorance. Run, Horatio!

[mistconduct]

[Chris flips the box over, reading the instructions on the back]

For two to four players, youngest player goes first. You roll the dice and move your token along the board. Doubles gets another turn. First to the center of the board wins - you must land exactly on board's center and call out Jumanji! in order to win.

BUT THIS ALL SEEMS LEGIT...

[sssiiiiirrrrr]

[That actually seems fairly boring, compared to a nice game of whist, but last time he tried to play whist it got derailed into star wars monopoly or some shit, so Horatio might just have to learn some new games...]

Well, that sounds diverting enough. If you don't have enough players at present, I'd be very happy to join you...

:D

[mistconduct]

[Omg Horatio shut up about the whist already. Chris grins, hiding the deviousness in his smirk]

Hey, two more people and we'll have a game going, awesome.

[sssiiiiirrrrr]

[But the whiiiiist! Jumanji ain't got nothin' on whist, bro.]

In that case, I shall come meet with you post-haste.

[mistconduct]

Fuck yeah. Maybe I can get Omar or Cassel into this too.

[sssiiiiirrrrr]

[At some point I expect there to be a thread where we play this out, and WHEN THERE IS I WILL CLIMB ALL OVER IT.]
