4th Floor Common Room, Monopoly Game Night

Late Saturday afternoon, Isabel started preparing the fourth floor common room for Game Night. By the time the evening rolled around, the room was ready for fun. A table against the wall was loaded with an assortment of baked goods from Jeff, God of Biscuits and an assortment of chips and various dips. There was a cooler next to the table filled with bottles of water, fruit juice and cans of soda.

Four tables were arranged with Monopoly game boards and space for eight players at a table.

With everything ready she sat down to wait.

[OOC: Obviously we're not going to be rolling the dice for every turn. The game does need to end at some point tonight (preferebly before 5:30 in the morning). Hopefully there's enough links that you'll be able to fake it well enough to have fun. Game piece icons are available for the truly obsessed here ~~at each of the tables~~. Please note that

peter__parker has a special doggie icon he can use at whatever table he wants. Have fun!]

[ooc2: ~~Please wait for the~~ OCD threads are up.]

Sam wasn't completely paying attention and took the dice, rolling without letting Barbossa take his turn. She landed outside the jail. "I'd be visiting Cam, but he already made his escape."

Peter somehow neglected the fact that Barbossa didn't go despite just saying it was his turn. His brain skipped, whoops. He landed on Chance.

"It's a night of cards for me. Let's see... 'GO DIRECTLY TO JAIL DO NOT PASS GO, DO NOT COLLECT $200' Crap. Too bad I don't have a cellmate."

After Mac's turn (in which she landed on the next railroad and purchased it), Molly took her turn.

"Eleven. Finally a big number. That puts me on... Tennessee Ave. Woo hoo! I'll buy it!" She paid the bank the $180 and collected her property.

"Oh, Cameron's gone, so I guess it's my turn?" Sam said, once again blowing past Barbossa's turn as she rolled the dice. "Two. Ooh, electric company. I'll take it." She paid her $150 into the bank.

"I'll pay the $50 to get out of jail." Peter paid and rolled... and landed on Electric Company. "Crap."

Peter rolled to check payment and handed over the $80 rent to Sam. "You did that on purpose. I'm not sure how, but you planned it."

"It's all part of my evil plot," Sam snicked as she collected the money and separated it into piles, "and if I could become psychic, I'd be all set."

Molly snickered as she picked up the dice to roll.

"Five... Yay! Another property! I'll buy it." Molly pays the $220 for Indiana Ave. and collects the property card.

Barbossa had finally stopped counting all of the money--three times--and realized he hadn't rolled in a while.

"Me turn, aye?" he said, rolling the dice. "Pi," he said, moving his pile o' money 3.14 spaces and giving Mac some money.

Yeah, it's probably better not to ask.

Sam picked up the dice and studied them carefully, weighing them in her hand. Finally, she just gave it up and rolled. "Eleven!" She counted out spaces, resisting the urge to make little motorcycle noises. "Darn it! How much do I owe you, Molly?"

John takes the dice and rolls them. "9. Um. Where am I starting from, 'GO'?"

"Yep. GO sounds good," Peter said.

John moves 9 spaces to Connecticut Ave. "Nice. Um. Owned?"

"Nope. It's yours if you want it." Peter picked up the dice and waited for John to decide on his potential business transaction

"Bingo. Lay me down some real estate."

John lays down the bones for his first pimp pad.

Peter rolled the dice. The little doggie landed on the same Chance that sent him to jail last time. He picked up the card warily. "TAKE A RIDE ON THE READING IF YOU PASS GO COLLECT $200. Pick up $200, lose $50 to Mac, end up in the incorporated area on the board. That's not fair."

Peter Parker pouted petulantly at his lack of precision playing prowess.

Mac quietly took her turn (and picked up another RR!).

Molly followed that by rolling a seven. "That puts me... in jail! Awww, that bites." She moved her shoe to the jail with a pout.

Barbossa snatched the dice before Sam could forget about him again.

And rolled a -7.

Yeah, didn't know how, either, but he shrugged and forked over his $75 for the Luxery Tax.

Sam examined the dice closely again. Obviously there was something about them that she was missing. "How..."

She rolled and ended up on Community Chest. "Take a ride on the Reading..." Sam sighed and forked over the money to Mac.

John takes the dice and rolls.

It's not a normal number. (http://www-groups.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/HistTopics/e_10000.html) "The hell?"

He's mostly on St. Charles place.

"Nobody owns that yet," Molly told John. "You want to buy it?"

"Sure do." John lays down the cash.

Peter takes his turn and lands on Jail. Just visiting this time, though. "The view is much nicer from the outside."

Molly rolls, but doesn't get doubles. "Shoot. I'll try again next turn." She picks up her shoe and pretends to kick the bars. "Thanks for visiting me puppy. Company is nice."

Sam gave into the inevitable and made engine revving noises as she handed over the $18. "Highway robbery, I swear."
