B wants to play a game.

It needs to be a simple one, though. One that anyone can play. After all, it wouldn't be fun if I always won.

.... Mmm ...

... Oh, I know.

How many of you are familiar with the game 'hangman?'

That should be very easy. We can even play it over the phone.

Just remember as you're drawing - it's two lines for the gallows, one

[A word game, you say?]

Can I give it a try?

[b_as_a_criminal]

Certainly.

[He pauses, actually thinking. He's going to be nice and play real hangman at first.]

The word I am thinking of is eight letters long. Your first guess?

[bluecapboy]

How about "a"?

[b_as_a_criminal]

Right. The seventh letter's an 'a.'

[ufosrreal]

I'll play!!

[b_as_a_criminal]

All right. The word is seven letters long.

Btw this cheater game is the devil--I finally got a letter and the word was "Numskull" 8|

[ufosrreal]

Hm...

Seven letters, okay....

Ah, S!

it taunts you!

[b_as_a_criminal]

[the sound of him drawing the first line]

Sorry.

[stardust_legacy]

... Hangman.

Like the tarot card.

[b_as_a_criminal]

That is another Hangman, yes.

Although, I will admit that I am not familiar enough with tarot to recall its significance.

[stardust_legacy]

Reflections.

[b_as_a_criminal]

Reflections on thoughts, or reflections in the mirror?

[b_as_a_criminal]

[He glances at her retreating back, and then sips the tea without a word.

Slowly.

As he draws people hanging. Good times.

By the way, if you didn't pack it with sugar, he's leaving it alone and enjoying it.]

[b_as_a_criminal]

[Well that's fine too. After a sip, he leans over his chair and calls softly toward her room]

Thank you.

[semblance]

[Oho a word game, her inner nerd is delighted.]

I will play.

[b_as_a_criminal]

Excellent.

Your word is eight letters.

[semblance]

Very well.

I'll start with "E".

[b_as_a_criminal]

Sorry, there's no E. Please try again.
