[windeity]

[He keeps getting down to five and then Dave keeps fucking him over, so there's a frustrated huff before he picks up three cards from the draw pile and throws down a five of hearts.]

Better?

[parodeity]

[ SINCE MOST OF HIS FUCKING HAND IS HEARTS, YES, THAT IS BETTER. jack of hearts, thank god. ]

I dunno, is it?

[ snarking since john had to pick up more cards.

...dave still has more cards tho. ]

[windeity]

[Sucks for Dave because John's. Swapping back to a black suit with the Jack of Spades and he shrugs lightly.]

For me, yeah, sure.

[parodeity]

[ JACK OF DIAMONDS. >[

he's at like. 13 cards now. ]

[windeity]

[He's just going to swear under his breath and draw another four cards before throwing down a six of diamonds. Normally he's fine with this game but it's slowly wearing on his nerves considering what he's trying to do here.]

[parodeity]

[ seven of diamonds, 12 cards.

...this is so stupid. ]

[windeity]

[He was at nine cards and then he goes back up to eleven before throwing down the queen of diamonds.

This would be so much easier if they didn't have to do stupid bullshit to earn favors and if the favors weren't so stupid, but this is what you get when you have two stubborn teenage boys apparently.]

[parodeity]

[ this would be so much easier if dave were not actively not throwing the game?

king of diamonds. I CAN'T BELIEVE I HAD TO LIST OUT WHAT WAS ALREADY THROWN DOWN. ]

[windeity]

[Dave let him win this one!! Also you're smarter than me I just left the whole thread open. Either way it's almost immediate as he slams down king of clubs.]

[parodeity]

[ NO!!!

KING OF DIAMONDS he has. ten cards left. if he gets trapped in spades or clubs again he will Die. since he definitely does not have anything not red. ]

[windeity]

[HE IS DOING HIS BEST and there's a quick draw before triumphantly throwing down the eight of diamonds because. BECAUSE.]

Spades.

[parodeity]

[ this is the stupidest direction this thread could have taken and dave considers for a moment throwing his cards at john's face but instead he pulls. three more fucking cards. to get the two of spades, which he throws down with

he's actually nearly scowling. it's the barest tilt downwards of his lips. amazing.

12 CARDS, AGAIN. ]

[windeity]

[Oh I could make it a lot stupider, but thank you for not throwing cards, Dave. John looks fairly pleased with himself and easily sets down the three of spades. Back down to seven. Let him win!!!]

[parodeity]

[ no, three of hearts. >[

11 cards. he can't win this but apparently he's gong to make it as annoying as humanly possible. ]

[windeity]

[WHY. He draws one card and thankfully it only has to be one card since it's the two of hearts and he slams it down on the pile.

And promptly sends the pile of cards flying off the roof.

...well. Okay. Whoops. He'll just...peer over the edge and watch the cards flutter away. Bye cards.]

[parodeity]

[ well now what. was that just their discards or the draw pile, too. i need 2 know. ]

[windeity]

[It was definitely the discards and like most of the draw pile, so someone is going to walk out of the dorm in the morning and find most of a deck of playing cards.]

...eheh. Well...whoops.

[parodeity]

...Do we finish it with what we got or modify this to war. Best two out of three battles.

[ they should each have at least more than three cards in their hands? he shuffles his and places them face down in front of him. ]

Or best one out of one, if you feel particularly lucky.

[windeity]

[He'll stare at the cards he has and he calmly shuffles his as well. They have an uneven amount of cards but that's fine. It makes the game riskier. And while he shuffles, he says:]

Well to tell you the truth, in all this excitement, I've kinda lost track myself. But being this is a game of stakes, the most powerful game in the world, and would blow your mind when I win, you've got to ask yourself one question...'Do I feel lucky?' [A smirk.] Well, do ya, punk?

[This is literally not the right time to quote a Clint Eastwood movie but you know what, he'll do it. And he'll flip his first card which is nine of spades.]

[parodeity]

We didn't decide aces high or low. [ dave points out, rolling his eyes, but he flips his card. ] And the implication that you're about to try to blow my head off ain't comfortin'.

[ it's the fucking five of diamonds and dave has been BETRAYED. ]

[windeity]

Aces low to change it up. [And he draws the cards into his hand.] Blowing your mind and blowing your head off are two different things, dummy. I would never actually do something like that. [Next card down is queen of clubs.]

[parodeity]

[ okay. dave has ten cards left. ten of diamonds is next because lmfao most of his red high cards were spent. ]

You're only makin' 'em low 'cause I have no other high cards, aren't you.

[windeity]

No. [Yes. And he'll swoop up the cards to add to his deck.] What makes you think I'd cheat like that?

[Flipping the queen of hearts.]

[parodeity]

Because you are a cheating asshole??

[ so why hasn't dave stopped playing.

ace of hearts. ]

[windeity]

[A great question. John will take the cards and pull them toward him. Dave, how many cards do you even have left at this point...]

An asshole, maybe, but I am not a cheating asshole. How could I possibly know what cards you have in your hand? [Other than he's good at reading tells in this kind of game and at least paying attention. It's a form of sleight of hand. He'll flip jack of clubs next.]
