duel 7. ( video. )

[puzzlingly]

「Atem hasn't made a network post ever since he was still wearing that strange golden eye, which, is long gone by now, so, there he is, with an important question, for him, at least.」

Ever since I got here I've heard people asking, what do people do here for fun? I was one of those people too, and honestly, the answers were lacking, they still are. Maybe we should change that.

As some of you know there is a casino on the second floor of the Speakeasy, and while gambling can pretty fun, it might not be for everyone. I wish to add all sort of games that everyone can enjoy. So, please, tell me about the games you know, the ones from your homes, what did you use to play for fun? Henry, I'm sorry, we cannot fit a jousting competition in there, 「Sorry dude, 」 but I will try my best to bring something else.

I know there are more pressing matters at hand, but there always are, there always will be something else, and this is what some of us might need right now, a different let-out that's not just fighting, maybe just for relaxation, for fun, for the excitement of the competition, or even to make new friends over a game you enjoy. There is no better feeling than it.

「Kaiba, he's looking at you, not every damn game has to end on someone dying.」

Ah-- there used to be poker nights too, we might as well bring back that tradition, 「Hats off to you, Firo, wherever you are.」 and, if you can beat me at it, you might get a prize. Actually... 「He smirks, smugly.」 if any of you can beat me at a game of your choosing, you may get a little something.

「You are not getting a damn thing, he's the bloody King of Games, bitches.」

Don't forget the Welcome Dance Night at the Speakeasy, we are eager to see you there.

「He adds with a warm smile, and the feed ends.」

[He's still sore about how they left things, but he can't leave this alone. He got that taunt. It's not voice or video though, Kaiba thinks he'll have a better chance to win this conversation through text.

He still wants his duel, but was he willing to accept a table top version? On the one hand, it would seem anti-climatic. On the other hand, it would be coming full circle to their original duel...No! If they were dueling, they were going to duel correctly. This was, however, a way to continue their previous conversation and maybe come out ahead this time.]

Chess.

「This is unexpected after how things ended the other day, but is definitely not unwelcome.」

is that a challenge?

「Doesn't quite sound like it, but he's making it one.」

[allthecards]

What else would it be?

[ Kaiba's not one to ever let things go, and it had been the last game mentioned before Atem walked away again. It was the perfect challenge; a chance to taunt Yugi about his reaction over sacrifices, and he'd either have to stay for the whole game or forfeit. It was win/win for him.]

「He will not lose! He... practiced a lot when he was bedridden at the clinic months ago.」

「Come to the mountain, little Muhammad.」

[fadeling]

What kind of games?

[Video]

[puzzlingly]

「Hey Cole, it's been a while.」

Any kind, but mostly the ones you can play in a closed place. What others do you know?

[Video]

[fadeling]

[Yes it has]

I don't know many. Varric knew Wicked Grace. Cecily might too.

[Video]

[puzzlingly]

Yep, you told me about that. Maybe we can add it to the list.

[ah, there's Atem. she hasn't seen him since she was brought back to life. she'd been too afraid to seek him out in person, but surely a network post was safe?]

We used to play at dicing back home.

I must admit, I'm not sure what poker is, but I'm willing to learn how to play.

[puzzlingly]

「Oh... Margaery! Damn, it's good to see her!」

Hey... 「He holds a how are you? because this is not exactly the place to ask about that.」

It's a gambling game, with cards. I will teach you if you want. I think you'd like it.

[roseofthetyrells]

[it's very good to see him, too]

Hello. [she says warmly]

I would like that very much. Should we meet somewhere so you can begin teaching me?

[Video]

[bespectacledsnake]

Back home it is my business to run casinos. If you are in need of any assistance, I would be more than glad of the opportunity to help.

[Video]

[puzzlingly]

「Dude, who... wait this is not Rosen... Excuse him as he stares for a second before speaking.」

Hey, of course, your help would be invaluable. I'm not used to these kind of games myself nor running a business. Though, I would like to open it to more than just casino games, do you think that would work?

[whip_poor_will]

You owe me another game of Senet.

[She has literally just decided this right now.]

[video]

[puzzlingly]

You're on!

「Bring it on, Lady Death!」

[video]

[whip_poor_will]

[Them's fighting words.]

Reminds me, I still must introduce you to Ur sometime! [Ancient board games for the win.]

voice;

[hasitsthorns]

I just act really, really stupid.

Usually amuses both me and everyone else. Everyone wins.

voice;

[puzzlingly]

Not quite what I was looking for, but, hey, if it works for you. Not everyone has that power.

voice;

[hasitsthorns]

To be stupid? A lot more people who don't think they have it do, honestly. At least I own up to it.

[abbatis]

I know few card games. Poker, old maid, bezique.

pretend this is not ridiculously late

[hotspurred]

[Henry huffs an amused breath, mouth quirking into a half-smile.]

Our lack of them aside, I cannot think Rey would be best pleased with the muck of keeping horses inside for any length of time.

[It's a pity the mopeds are too slow; he's absolutely considered them before while in his cups.]

'Tis a good undertaking. Aught that brings us together can only be a boon.

you're fine buddy

[puzzlingly]

「Oh, right, horses... They are nice until you have to clean. Not that he ever had to clean but, you know. The brand new mopeds aren't that bad, though...」

I'm glad you think so too. Often people get too warped up in the bad things and forget to live a little.

「He knows this, he, himself, is his main example.」

[hotspurred]

[Henry dips his head in acknowledgement of the point; that certainly cannot be denied.]

And somehow this place is almost as dreary as the cave was.

[Henry raises a hand, briefly touching his knuckles to his mouth.]

If you wish it, I can donate a chess set to your cause. Maketh and I oft played but these days it merely gathers dust in my apartment.
