[Cleyera is right behind Amaranth, though not first since he was scurrying around getting some stuff ready real quick.]

Hi, Miss Paloma!

[marsascending]

Hello! I hope it wasn't too confusing to get my message.

[oddeyesphantomdragon]

Oh no, no prob! Ah, can I help you carry anything?

[marsascending]

Oh, it's really easy to carry, so don't worry about it. Is there a place I should set this up?

The decor here is so charming!

[oddeyesphantomdragon]

Let's set it up out on the porch! So you can see the garden, too.

[Out in the garden that somehow exists despite their dorm being underground. There's no sudden gusts of wind or other inconvenient weather-related things to get in the way of playing, thankfully.]

[marsascending]

A porch in the basement—oh!

And that's—amaranth, there, and camellia... these are names of your unitmates? I don't know all of them, but I know the language of flowers, at least.

[oddeyesphantomdragon]

That's right. We're all named after flowers- uh, except John, I guess.

[marsascending]

John's very determined to be different, isn't he!

[oddeyesphantomdragon]

Nothing wrong with wanting to stand out a little!

[He's pretty sure this is not actually the case with John, but he doesn't want to bring up drama he barely knows about himself. Anyway, he actually left a bunch of hanafuda laying out on this table while he was in a rush to go get some other things together... so he's going to casually sweep those up into a tidy deck and stick them into his pocket out of the way.]

[marsascending]

Or the opposite, but if he wants to get out of here he really should try~

[ listen, she's met him, she has an inkling of john being Like That ]

Is that another card game?

[oddeyesphantomdragon]

Ahaha... well, I'm sure he knows what he's doing. Anyway, yeah, these are playing cards from the same country as me. I haven't really used 'em much, but I was thinking they'd match our ~aesthetic~.

[Pulls one back out to hold it up! It's got wisteria drawn on it.]

[marsascending]

Ah, they're really lovely! They really are a good match, and there's really something to be said for style.

[oddeyesphantomdragon]

Right? I should get some for the others, too... oh, speaking of. [He makes that card disappear up his sleeve, then takes a different deck of cards out to set them down. This child who loooooves pockets, apparently.] This one's for you! You liked that game I showed you before, yeah?

[marsascending]

Ah, I did! So this is a set I could play with anytime?

[oddeyesphantomdragon]

Uh-huh! I mean, technically it's usually a two player game, but I'll play you whenever. [...] And it seems like I'm not the only Duelist around here, anyway.

[marsascending]

Oh, really! I suppose since it seems like a game that would be popular, you might not know each other, but does that mean you call the same land home?

[oddeyesphantomdragon]

You and I probably aren't from the same place, but we both know about chess, right? It might just be something like that.

[marsascending]

I suppose that's true! I wonder what other interesting overlaps there are.

[oddeyesphantomdragon]

I wonder? I do think it's neat that we're all not that different, though.

[marsascending]

It's true! It's very interesting that we have commonalities, despite coming from different worlds, places, times, religions, species... and ideas that transcend unique circumstance. I wonder what meaning there is to it? If it's true that what they say that there was intention behind creation, I wonder if there was a reason.

[oddeyesphantomdragon]

Good question! Maybe we'll have a chance to get some hints, since we're in a situation like this.

[Might as well take advantage of it to learn a few secrets of the universe while they're here.]
