[After being haunted by the ghost of his ex-fiancee/girlfriend, Donald needed anything to distract him here. Even poor distractions. Probably poor life decisions too, because when isn't this a poor life decision? Ruins friendships and breaks up families all the time.]

Anyone got a couple six sided dies handy?

[He'll show everyone the box for Monopoly, best game ever.]

Seems to be the only pieces missing, kinda important.

( sideeye squint at ur there boardgame )

Who's the little man on the front?

[roughup]

Uh.

[He peers at said little man. He's sure he's got an actual name, but he doesn't know.]

... Mr. Monopoly?

[ivolunteer]

Is he the Gamemaker?

[roughup]

He's the mascot for the game. You've never played before I take it?

[ivolunteer]

No. It doesn't look like much.

( finances are fun??? what is the even point? )

[roughup]

Well, it's not much compared to a lot of other games now a days I guess. Still, not like we have a lotta other choices here right now.

[Finances are not fun. Ever. But it's either that or go around trying out every window and door again. Seeing if maybe just this time they'll open.]

...alright after a lot of consideration, she'll bite. )

How do you play?

[roughup]

Everyone starts out with a set amount of money and moving around the board you buy up property. If other people land on your property they have to pay you money. Whoever is last man standing when everyone else goes bankrupt wins.

Sound boring, but it can get pretty cutthroat.

[ivolunteer]

( sounds like a good way to fuck over your friends. but harmlessly??? )

Fake money?

[roughup]

Yeah, just different colored pieces of paper.

[Good way to ruin friendships and destroy family bonds.]

[ivolunteer]

( ok she tried very hard to find something positive to say about that, about the whole game. but failed. )

That's stupid.

[roughup]

Just a game.

[Donald shrugs.]

But I'll say it's pretty stupid how worked up people can get playing a game about fake money.

[ivolunteer]

Are they trying to distract us from getting worked up about being here?

( bc it's not working, katniss is perpetually worked up. )

[roughup]

Probably, but trust me. Not something I'll forget easily. Doubt anyone else will either.

[ivolunteer]

...But you're still going to play your game.

(





...alright, she is decidedly that bored too, and will cast aside her judgement. )

Will you show me?

[roughup]

I haven't been sitting on my hands doing nothing. After the hundredth time checking windows and doors to see if they open I can only do so much.

But if you wanna learn, sure, we've got a hand going now.
