[solitaire]

_{( For once, Remy might actually be in his apartment. He's sitting on his bed, not in coat or costume but a simple cotton shirt, sleeves rolled up to his elbows. He's got a roll of cloth bandages, and is wrapping his hands methodologically. )}

Y'all really know how ta discuss, you know that? I'm very impressed.

_{( He's not, actually. He thinks the talking around such matters is a waste of time, and also a way to show the Initiative their hand. But he doesn't say so. )}

But I have ta say, all this bleak talk ain't really for me. Can't keep at it for very long. Désolé.

So, for those of you who care ta lighten the mood, here's a game. First player--that'd be me, I like ta deal--gives you a word. You say the first thing that comes ta your mind, after that. An' y'keep goin', over an' over, until someone cracks an' has ta ask the reasonin' behind your answer.

Whether y'tell 'em is up ta you.

_{( He laughs, to himself. )}

It's an option, anyways. If you don't wantta keep talkin' 'bout how unhappy y'all are.

_{( ooc / idk if this'll come up but if you want to threadjack and play with each other, i'm totally cool with that. )}

Ah, wordplay. It does provide a serviceable distraction to some individuals.

[Pay no attention to the scattered parts of . . . some household appliance on the table in front of her. Or the way she's absently poking at them.]

[solitaire]

An' I take it you've got your own sort?

_{( Nodding, at the appliance. )}

[how_fascinating]

Oh, I partake of both.

[solitaire]

Up for a round, then?

[how_fascinating]

If I weren't amenable to the game, I'd not have replied.

[solitaire]

Jus' makin' sure.

How 'bout "mirror," ta start?

[how_fascinating]

[Nods absently, while examining a component in her hand.]

Wavelength.

[solitaire]

Communications.

[how_fascinating]

Gesticulation.

[solitaire]

Attack.

[how_fascinating]

Truculence. [Noticing kind of a theme in her answers?]

[solitaire]

Friends. _{( ... yup. )}

[how_fascinating]

Superlative. [Small words are for losers.]

[solitaire]

Stubborn.

[how_fascinating]

[She starts re-assembling the parts. If this is an attempt at baiting, she doesn't notice.] Enterprising.

[solitaire]

Stars. _{( His tone is suddenly wry. )}

[how_fascinating]

[Yeah, she doesn't necessarily get the connection, but as this is just a mindless game, she doesn't think on it. She's busy.]

Singularity.

[solitaire]

_{( He has long since finished bandaging his hands, and now shuffles a deck of cards. )}

Solitaire.

[how_fascinating]

[The appliance starts taking on a more recognizable shape, thanks to her efforts. Looks like it might be a blender.]

Idiosyncratic. [... She may have interpreted that as "solitary", because "solitaire" isn't a term she recognizes.]

[solitaire]

Purpose.

[how_fascinating]

Comprehension.

[solitaire]

Unimportant.

[how_fascinating]

[That actually gets the faintest glimpse of annoyance out of her. Comprehension is unimportant? Stupid human. She'd ask him why he thinks such a heinous thing, but then she'd lose the game. She's not going to lose the game, thank you.]

Abominable. [But she'll still interject her opinion. Because it fits.]

[solitaire]

_{( He'd take issue, with the human part of that. )}

Snowman.
