I know there's still a lot of work we need to do to repair Oska, but we need to take breaks too, right?

I have an Xbox so I thought maybe it might be fun to have a games night. I only have 2 games and CoD is probably the wrong tone after we had a big fight already, but I have Quiplash which is way lighter.

Basically it generates a question or part statement and you have to answer it or fill in the blanks with the funniest answer. Kind of like Cards Against Humanity, but you write your own answers and everybody votes instead of taking it in turns. You can just watch if you don't feel like playing so it's a really good group game.

Would anyone be interested in like a night where we did that?

[When he sees that it is Oliver who has posted this message, he takes the time to listen while it is read to him in the cool monotone of the jewelry's text-to-audio function. His eyes follow along on the shimmering screen, recognizing the forms of some words but mystified by yet more of them. Even after hearing the words aloud, however, he does not understand fully. And so Oliver shall shortly hear Achilles' bold voice ringing forth.]

Then is it a game of wits to which you invite us, Oliver?

( voice )

[catphishing]

Yep. Are you coming?

[He sounds hopeful. He likes Achilles a lot, and despite the awkwardness of their last conversation it would be nice to have him there.]

I confess that I am curious. Yet this game I do not wholly understand - what manner of questions might we be asked?

[catphishing]

There's a whole range of questions. Like you could be asked to come up with a song title, or to complete a saying.

[heelies]

Why, if it is the name of a song, then that is simple! "An Ode to" whatever the subject may be shall suffice.

[Nailed it.]

[catphishing]

You should play. Someone who doesn't want to could read your questions to you and type your answer.

[heelies]

This would be much to my liking. Will you lend me your aid then?

[Is there anything more appealing than having Achilles whisper in your ear all night?]

[catphishing]

[You have no idea how many times Oliver has fantasized about that. Granted this isn't quite how he imagined it, but a whole night where he has a valid excuse to be close to Achilles?

Yes please?]

Uh. Yeah. Sure. I'd lo-- [No. Don't say love. Don't sound too clingy.] I'd be happy to.

[Now if only he could master the art of forming a sentence around him.]

[heelies]

[Worry not, for Achilles can form enough beautiful sentences for both of them...]

Very well! Then we shall test our wits together. When and where ought we to gather for these games?

[catphishing]

I was just gauging interest to start with, but it looks like it'd have a pretty good turnout if I do go through with it.

Shall I let you know when I decide?
