... Rough day?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[In typical cryptic fashion:]

Is the war worth winning if you lose every battle along the way?

[learntofly]

[ Just. Stares at him for a beat ]




That sounds like a war you're losing.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Not if we're playing strictly by the numbers.

[A pause as he takes another drink]

You play in the last game?

[learntofly]

Maybe if you've rigged the numbers.

[ Makes a so-so gesture ]

I tried, but it was kind've a weird game to start on.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Trust me. There have been weirder.

Did you sneak in a unit trait to get the extra points?

[learntofly]

N...no?

What are our traits?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Whoops.

That's what he gets for skimping the intro. His bad.

Pulls out his phone to the trait list:]

Future is Now

Out there, cloud cuckoo lander; the character that drops non sequiturs

Any mad scientist stereotype

No sense of personal space

Lack of acknowledgement of social norms

Space cadet/absent-minded

If you perform one of these, you get an extra 300 points regardless whether we win or lose.

PDA ones are easy for us with no sense of personal space. So as long as you find the right person to bully...

[learntofly]

[ Siiighs once she's read over the list ]

I came close to the personal space one, but I psyched myself out. It felt too weird to do with a guy I just met.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Which guy?

[learntofly]

Hurricane? He's on that senshi team, I think.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Ah.

He's friendly and well meaning. Probably one of the safest people you can go with.

[learntofly]

That's the impression I got too. I wouldn't have even thought about it if he seemed sketchy.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Well.

At least your danger sensor is working.

[learntofly]

Do a lot of people not have one?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Sometimes it's overpowered by their thrill meter.

[Said the kettle, calling the pot black]

[learntofly]

It depends on the type of thrill-seeking people are after. Chasing thrills by yourself is pretty different from starting something with a dangerous person.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Point.

Then maybe it is just lack of a danger sensor.

[learntofly]

That definitely sounds like a bigger problem.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

You'll find that this place accepts all kinds.

But you also seem the type to be able to feel that out on your own.

[learntofly]

How many people here are actually good at that?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

The minority.

Give or take 10%

[learntofly]

That's about what I expected.
