[By now, Abel's gotten more than just the gist of what's going on - and has basically come to terms with the fact that it might not end right away. But as terrifying as potentially blurting out even more of the truth is, he still has more important matters to attend to

What's charades?

[She looks up from where she's lounging, twisting to see it upright even though she was lying on her back.]

[canniballistic]

[He peers over the top edge of his notepad, smiling.]

It's a fun game! Do you want to try? We'd only need a couple players.

[celestial_okami]

A game? [Her ears twitch forward as she rolls onto her stomach, her tail wagging.]

I'll try it.

[canniballistic]

Oh, you will? I'm glad. Admittedly, I really didn't think anybody'd want to, at all.

[...Not that he sounds all that surprised by her agreement. Setting his notepad aside, Abel begins to stretch, first one arm, then the other.]

So, I guess you need to know the rules, first?

[celestial_okami]

It is something to do.

[She beams, her tail wagging as she pillows her chin on her arms. Abel was always a good source of learning new games.]

Mm!

[canniballistic]

[He'll probably never top tic-tac-toe, but he has a feeling she'll at least like this one.]

Well, then - let's see! Ah, the object of the game, essentially, is to act out an idea using only gestures. You're not allowed to talk at all! And whoever isn't having a turn acting silly - it's their job to guess what you're trying to say.

That simple enough, right?

[celestial_okami]

Auuuu.... [Her lips purse, her ears twitching forward as she listens.]

Mm! [A quick nod.] That seems simple enough. It is definitely not a game I've heard of before.

[canniballistic]

So, do you want to go first? Just remember, it won't be much fun if you try something too complex. You have to at least give me a fighting chance! Okay?

[celestial_okami]

Hmmm... I could try it! It seems like it might be difficult, but it should be alright.

Do your best, Abel!

[canniballistic]

Well, it wouldn't be very exciting without a bit of a challenge, would it?

Of course! I always do.

[celestial_okami]

[She puts on her best thinking face, her tail wagging excitedly as she sits up. After a moment she claps her hands as it seems she gets an idea, then moves as if to grasp either a sword or a pole of some kind in her hands before making a downward swing with both arms.

Sitting back, her ears flick forward as she keeps both hands out in front of her, still holding the invisible thing.]

[canniballistic]

[THINKING FACE IN STEREO.

Now, what on earth does that mean?]

Ah, are you hitting something? Is Ammy a lumberjack?

[celestial_okami]

Mm-mm. [She shakes her head, tail thumping against the floor. With a flick of her wrist, she snaps the invisible thing forward before making a noise of surprise and then leaning back, pulling the invisible thing as if trying to drag something back.]

[canniballistic]

Oh! [Jumping out of his chair, now. He knows this one.]

Oh, fishing! Ammy's gone fishing!

[celestial_okami]

[She claps, her tail wagging as she laughs.]

Correct! Abel did a good job, I think!

[canniballistic]

Well, I've never gotten it in two, before!

That makes it my turn, now.
