[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.

God! Do you live under a rock?

[wegotarunner]

Not currently.

[His voice is dry.]

[mistconduct]

Fucking christ. Jumanji's a game. A great game for smart, cool people.

[wegotarunner]

How do you play?

[mistconduct]

You roll the dice and move spaces and the board tells you what to do. Not hard.

[wegotarunner]

So why is everyone so against playing?

[mistconduct]

Because there's a very, very slim chance you might get gored by a rhinoceros.

[wegotarunner]

[Just. This look, Chris. AKA, what the hell are you talking about!?]

[mistconduct]

Hey, I don't make the rules.

[wegotarunner]

Who does? [Because seriously, how does playing a game wind up with someone getting gored by a rhino?]

[mistconduct]

Hasbro and Parker Brothers, probably.

[wegotarunner]

I feel like I should know that means but -- [He shakes his head a little.]

[mistconduct]

...Joking. They're the guys who make board games.
