[ It had worked once before, back in the heat of late summer in Asgard, so Jade was trying it again. She had dragged the sign out to the front of the store, right in the middle of the sidewalk, and written in huge letters:

free hot chocolate! :D
just come inside ♥

The temperature hadn't broken the sixty degree mark today - it was getting chilly fast. Both Orihime and Annabeth were gone, and the store was oddly quiet. Jade will be found keeping herself busy throughout the day with odd little chores when it's completely empty of customers - sweeping, dusting, and occasionally dozing in a booth near the door when the boredom becomes too much to bear. ]

[ Pffthahahaah she just backs up to give him a little room, before bursting into quiet laughter and just going to replace the can of whipped cream behind teh counter. ]

[iin2ufferable]

[ He makes a few erratic gestures as if to mimic death throes, then slumps in his chair. ]

You killed me, this is the worst customer service ever.

[nukeoleptic]

Booo hoooo. You stay dead for like an hour in Asgard, you will just have to deal with it!

[ But she's beaming to herself as she collects a slice of pie from a dish on the counter, moving back to Sollux's table and thumping it across from him as she slides into a seat in the chair across the table from his. ]

I have some cards. D'you wanna play a game?

[iin2ufferable]

[ He sits up again and eyes the pie just like the hot chocolate, but doesn't say anything. ]

I'm supposed to be dead, how am I going to play a game? Are there any games a dead person can even play? If you want me to do some ghosty future reading shit, it's not happening.

[nukeoleptic]

Nah, that's all bullshit, anyway. Cards are just cards!

[ Pointedly, she pushes the plate about a half-inch closer to him, before returning to the cards. ]

And I dunno. I've died a million times but I still know how to play crazy eights.

[iin2ufferable]

[ What, is she trying to fatten him up? He's not outright rejecting it though. That's a pretty good sign that he'll get to it at some point; it's not even person, he is just not a big eater. ]

Crazy what?

[nukeoleptic]

Crazy eights. I'll teach you, if you want? It's a way to pass the time, at least.

[ LOOK AT HER all hopeful here. ]

[iin2ufferable]

Tell me what you do first. Then maybe.

[ Any combination of "crazy" and "eight" makes him wary, okay? ]

1/2

[nukeoleptic]

Um. Each person gets five cards, and then we flip a card face up, and we take turns playing cards? So... [ She pulls the cards out, just for example, and flips a six of diamonds face-up onto the table. ] So I would be able to play a six, or any diamond, and if I didn't have any of those cards, I'd have to draw a card. And uses all their cards up first wins.

[nukeoleptic]

- oh, right! And it's 'crazy eights' because eights are the wildcards, so if you play an eight, you get to pick the suite, and you can play eights at any time.

[iin2ufferable]

...oh.

[ Bullet dodged. He can relax now. ]

Why do they have to call it crazy? That's stupid.

[nukeoleptic]

No idea. [ And then, musingly: ] Lots of things are stupid. I really hope you aren't surprised.

[iin2ufferable]

Yeah, basically.

[ He pokes at the pie a little bit first, then shrugs. ]

Sure whatever. Let's play.

[nukeoleptic]

Right now? Really?

[ She actually seems surprised. ]

[iin2ufferable]

Sure, I guess. I don't feel like going back outside.

[nukeoleptic]

Yeah... it's pretty cold outside. It's probably gonna snow, you know. Not now, but soon.

[iin2ufferable]

Snow can screw off.

[ Uh. ]

Just deal the cards or whatever.

[nukeoleptic]

Alright!

[ and then they played cards and it was pretty boring etc etc ♥ ]

[iin2ufferable]

[ And Sollux won because he is the best at everything yep that's how it went END OF THREAD. ]
