No, to be held as one.

[ tiny squeaky bat voice ]

[ Oh! That's the square he had. Lupine's lips curve up and he holds out his hands. ]

C'mere, then.

[ flaps closer ]

CAN you hold things like that? You're ghosty, right?

Gotta focus to be able to really touch anything, but yeah.

[ ..........................RIP to all the many people tripping over their new bodies, but Lupine is just. Some sort of physical prodigy. He learns fast, as long as it's something he can do with his body, instead of like... any other sort of skill. ]

Okay. I'm gonna land in your hands now.

[ flutterflutterflutter CRASH LAND FACEPLANTS IN HIS HANDS THINK FAST LUPINE ]

[ sjlfksjd THANKFULLY HE HAS REALLY GOOD REFLEXES omg bb ]

...you okay?

[ sits upright ]

Yeah, I'm good. Perfect landing.

[ don't laugh don't laugh don't laugh don't laugh ]

Oh, right. Yeah. I see that now.

Being a bat is hard.

Honestly, being that small is probably always hard.

[ ...Floating his way over to the edge of aforementioned nearest pool! ]

Easy to carry, though.

I am handful-sized. That's true.

[ As they start to cross the water...... ]

Man, I've got a bunch of squares to possess inanimate objects, especially dolls for some reason.

Since you're a ghost?

I guess. Pretty cartoony...

[ Looking down at the bat in his arms. ]

Although I guess that goes for a lot of the cards.

[ just kind of placidly hanging out ]

Being a bat is PRETTY cartoony.

Especially if you've met actual vampires.

[ And on the other side of the pool! ]

There you go.

[ pops back into human shape ]

Officially escorted.

Anything else?

[ Consulting his own card. Man, some of these are... probably time-consuming, he only has the vaguest idea what a jack-o-lantern is. ]

Talk about the past, talk about the future, reveal a regret... I can combine at least two of those.

[ Regrets are fundamentally in the past, right?? ]

I have three left. I have to read someone's mind and get buried... I think you can combine maybe all three of those in one conversation. All three of yours I mean.

Yeah, probably. [ And hit overshare while he's at it, if with a bit of a wince. ] Well, you can read my mind whenever. Let's see...

[ Beat. Thinking. ]

For the past bit, I could tell you a little something about the last time we played this game?

Okay. And I'll read your mind about it I guess?

Yeah.

[ You'll probably also get some, like. Surface tension. Trying not to think about anything embarrassing. ]

—There are a lot of games here that — well, they suck. This one, not so much. I, uh. Heh. I actually got a special win, for 'living up to my name'. Because — my cards were werewolf and nymph, so.

Because you got werewolf and your name means wolf?

It means wolf, yeah, but it's also a flower.

[ Beat. ]

...Met a lot of new people during the game, since I was always on the lookout for someone else who was playing. Made friends. It was — nice. Third game ever, and a much better time for most people. Everyone was in a good mood.

Oh. That's good.

[ i don't know if mind reading has a visual cue but he's doing it now because he just remembered. ]
