w1, thursday night

[petalbursts]

[ here they are! in the game room!! this is where people come to have fun, right? they should be having a party.

frowns.

anyways, ruby has a bunch of games pulled out and stacked on the floor, but has not moved to set any of them up. ]

I don't know what to play...

[ usually so good at distracting from the issue at hand and ignoring the bad! but tonight is hitting a little different. ]

[daggering]

[ vax in all of his brokenness is like half asleep at the moment on the couch. he has a teddy bear? wild

and in this state of half asleep, he says - ] Jenga. [ and then startles himself awake hello!! hes conscious ]

[gogoghostpowers]

Dude, just because you're like the living embodiment of Jenga doesn't mean we have to play it.

[daggering]

Hwha?

[ no he was just

dreaming ] Sorry. What're we doing...?

[gogoghostpowers]

...looking at games we can play?

[impurities]

Card games might be best. Not as much reaching or movement involved.

[petalbursts]

[ ruby looks over at him and smiles a little. ]

Jenga would be easy for Vax to play.

[ gnight sweet vax ]

[daggering]

[ ok he's awake now. ]

Oi, no need to go that easy on me. I've had worse.

[ sir your legs ]

[petalbursts]

Even if that's the case, you should still be taking it easy.

[ frowns at him. ]

[decisions]

Both. Of. Your. Legs.


[ dumbshit ]

[decisions]

[ percy instinctively jerks at the word and just goes a little slack again. ]

Whatever's the least physical investment... it's been a long day.


[ no fuckin twister ]

[petalbursts]

Maybe something he can play from the couch...

[ twister has been outlawed tonight ]

[decisions]

A 1,000 piece puzzle is a game, isn't it?


[ stifling a yawn. he feels like an old man. ]

[daggering]

[ he waves a hand from where he's sprawled on the couch. ]

I'll watch.

[petalbursts]

Then we should play something you enjoy watching, I think.

[ lets all be clowns for vax ]

[countermeasures]

...

[is that a suggestion for a game or a "hey, i'm hurting". she'll scoot over and pass him a painkiller.]

[daggering]

[ bless you doc ]

Keep pumping me with these things and I'll sleep for a week. [ he will gladly take it though wow ]

[countermeasures]

To be honest, if you were one of my patients I would prescribe strict bed rest for you.

[so yeah! maybe he should sleep for a week.]

...I took some numbing cream from the medical bay, as well. If any of that wears off, let me know, and I'll reapply it.

[countermeasures]

[jiuqing is... a little tired! it's been a long day.

but if they want something to take their minds off things, she's here for that. (she is also here in case any of vax's injuries flare up.)]

What are the options, Miss Rose?

[petalbursts]

[ it has been. a. day. ]

We have candy land, connect4, some card games, and Jenga?

[ squints. ]

There's others, but they aren't exactly...Vax friendly, at the moment.

[countermeasures]

Card games might be easiest...

[with the others he might have to get close to the game board or the jenga tower... a card game he can just have his hand of cards at his spot on the couch.]

[petalbursts]

[ ruby nods and looks at the selection of cards. ]

Go Fish! is a good one to play, it's super easy too. We just try to get matches with the cards in our hands, by asking other players! But if no one has one, then we Go Fish!

[impurities]

[ chang geng moves to gracefully fold down next to ruby, surveying the games now that they're set up with vax on the couch and probably percy starting to nod off like an old man on another one. ]

How're you doing, Ruby? [ she's laid out the game options, but. he wants to check in on her. ]

[petalbursts]

[ hello!! ruby looks up from a game called Sorry! and offers a small smile. ]

I'm okay. Everyone who came back seems to be doing alright and that's what matters most.

[ she's totally fine! she will only worry about how the other are doing! ]

[impurities]

[ he reaches to take the box, going to read the game text curiously. ]

We're lucky to have the medbay, in this particular case. We'll have to make sure Vax spends more time in there, when there aren't quite so many injured among us, and keep an eye on all of them.

[ but that's fair. they have to take care of each other. ]
