The Letter is... T {Game Night Thread 1}

Terra sighed a bit as sand came pouring out of the cracked side of the plastic hourglass she had dredged up from a pile of vinyl-lined boards. Lifting her hand, she pulled the little grains up out of the carpet with her powers and sent them over into the trash along with the little hourglass. It was lucky their communicators and most phones really had a timer on them these days. Made these makeshift timers a bit obsolete.

Terra had been one of the folks to have been around when the great board game treasure trove was discovered and jumped on to play some. She loved Scattergories personally and it was as good as a way as any to get to know everyone else in the Tower. The massive number of people actually in the Titans was astounding. When she had first visited Geo-Force she had been pretty positive there weren't this many members in the superhero team. She supposed most of them stayed elsewhere. The residents with actual assigned rooms were pretty much her, Batgirl, and the original five which is what she had thought to be about the size of the actual team.

Vaguely, she wondered what the main group had told all the new recruits about her tenure in the team. Was it common knowledge she had betrayed them? Or did they leave that out? She shook it from her head and looked up to those who had sat down to play. "Right, so each of us get one of these-" she began lifting up one of the vinyl boards only for it to fall apart in her hand. She looked at the fallen piece and sighed before putting it aside. "We'll just not use THAT one. Anyway... You need one of these boards and an answer sheet. There SHOULD be three category cards in each board too," she continued, lifting up a not-so-broken board and pointing at the little pocket in it that had three card stock sheets in it. She really hoped there weren't any missing category cards. Works great around that was super annoying.

If one looked at the category cards they had two lists of categories on each side, adding up to twelve lists each numbered appropriately assuming you had all three cards. As people got settled, Terra fiddled with an oversized 20-sided dice containing letters on each side instead of numbers. It was in surprisingly good condition compared to the rest of the set. Amusingly, Terra rolled it a couple times on the carpet receiving in order A, D, and R. She nodded, satisfied and looked up to see how everyone was doing.

Sitting on the floor, Red Star began rummaging through the essential items to play the game.  Lower ranking Titans needed some form of "supervision" while in the Tower, and he needed an excuse to get out and meet people.  So, this was a win/win situation.  However, he was deathly embarrassed because he honestly had no idea as to what he was doing.  Like at all.

However, he fiddled with the board and the cards, flipping through the answer book before taking an answer sheet.  Then, he spent about three minutes looking for something to write with, and to write on.  He wore a Babymetal shirt and a pair of blue jeans.  Green eyes focused on what he was supposed to be doing, but again, he had no idea.  And, as time progressed, he became more embarrassed and confused.

Finally, it got to the point where after Terra got done rolling her dice, she would see a stark white Red Star with question marks all around him.  "Ummm...  I think I may need some help." he whispered.  A rather nervous chuckle leaving his lips.  "I've never played this game before."

A lot has changed while he was away fighting the Euremians, so wanting Mimic to get more involved and meet the newer Titans, the Titans finally managed to persuade Mimic to join in on the fun that is Family Game Night. The invite in all honesty surprised him since he thought that the common rooms were strictly for higher ranked Titans. While Mimic did understand why this rule was in effect it didn’t mean he had to like it. So when the Titans decided to be more fair and welcoming to the lower ranks by making Game Night the exception to the rule, the shifter felt honored when the higher ranks invited him. True it meant some supervision from the higher ranks, but still this was great. At last Mimic was finally going to see what the inside of one of the Common Rooms looked like. He heard many a wild story of what usually goes on in there that the higher ranks did not want them to know about from his fellow lower ranks. He wondered if any of them were true, but now he supposed he would find out first hand. He could hardly wait.

Feeling excited Mimic looked at the games list and his pure white eyes landed upon something strange, something he has never heard of before, but with the fabulous name, Scattergories how could one go wrong? Initially, Mimic assumed that this game was gruesome and violent like Jousting and swordplay or maybe less violent like sparring. Mind racing with possibilities Mimic signed up for it without giving it any other thought.

At last the time had come for him to venture into this awesome world of Scattergories. In his excitement he put on his alien pajamas and rushed for the common rooms. Then entering the room that Scattegories was being held after giving the warning knock, all the while wondering how they can fit so much awesome into such a tiny room, there in the middle of the floor sat Red Star whom he assisted earlier against Dr. Light looking most confused with cards in his hand and there sitting in front of him was none other than the skinny blonde girl that he had met previously on the streets. His eyes widened as he stared at her in shock. “What the huh?” he exclaimed, clearly confused. “Terra? I didn’t know you were a Titan! How come you never told me?” he asked, demanding an explanation.

Mimic strolled further into the room and plopped down in a free spot to the left of Red Star. “So anyways,” he casually began rubbing the back of his neck as he looked around Terra’s bedroom. “Where’s the arsenal?” he asked in a serious tone when no weapon not even that of the weakest of shields could be spotted. In fact, all he saw were piles of cards and writing utensils.

If Red Star was confused Mimic looked even more so. Already, Mimic was beginning to regret not taking the time to research all of these Earth games ahead of time, but how was he to know they were all ‘boring?’ He admittedly never played Earth board games before.

ooc: Looks like Terra could use some help teaching these two how to play Scattergories. And somebody needs to explain to Mimic that Earth board games do not consist of weapons. Haha!
