[55th Replay]

[ Rika noticed pretty early on. Keiichi was droned one day and it continued for a while. She tired to convince herself that it wasn't anything to worry about and he'd be back to normal soon, but it didn't happen.

So at first she was an emo mess. Which just meant that she tried to avoid social interactions and holed up in her room whenever possible.

"I'm not sure there's much to look forward to, but, if you'd like to meet, I'm Ruri. Just name the time and place."

I have never been to high school before, so this will be very interesting! It is nice to meet you, Ruri! I am Rika Furude!

Are you free this afternoon? Do you know any card games?

[hontobakabaka]

"I know several card games... Generally people don't like to play them with me though, or at least they didn't back home."

[badend_replay]

I would be very happy to play card games with you then, if that would be okay! It would be very fun.

Why don't we play in the park?

[hontobakabaka]

"All right. That could be fun."

[badend_replay]

Yes! Are you free today? We could go practice and then beat everyone if we play again!

[hontobakabaka]

"I'm free. Where would you like to practice?"

[badend_replay]

What if we meet at the park? We could find a picnic table and enjoy the nice summer weather!

[hontobakabaka]

"I know one in the shady part of the park that's nice. I'll meet you there."

[badend_replay]

That would be wonderful! I will meet you there soon!

[ Which she will. Rika will grab a deck of cards and come snacks and juice boxes before running off to the park. She's way too excited. ]

[hontobakabaka]

[Ruri will be there at walking speed as well, she's deadpan as always and still bandaged up a bit from all the killdrones]

[badend_replay]

[ Rika'll be waiting around anxiously. She probably took her bike so has had time to wait. When she spots Ruri she'll wave excitedly. ]

Hello! Are you here to play cards?

[hontobakabaka]

"I am."

[She nods a bit and bows]

[badend_replay]

mi~i! Then what card game should we start with? Go Fish? Old Geezer? Crazy Eights?

[hontobakabaka]

"I only know poker and blackjack so... So you'll have to teach me the rules."

[badend_replay]

Blackjack is not a game that I know. Why don't we both teach each other a card game today, then? It will be a fair trade and then we can both play more games with more people!
