4th Floor Common Room, Monopoly Game Night

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

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.]

Pip raised an eyebrow at Jack. "Looks like I'm in the prescnece of the hit-on king. I feel like I should be kneeling." He rolled the dice and got two fives.

"Tch, income tax."

He paid it and rolled again, getting a one and a two. "Might as well buy it," he said, buying the cheapest property available.

Nadia rolled and came up with a six and a four. "Park Place. It's expensive. That means it's good, right? I'll take it." She handed over the money and then looked at her dwindling pile of cash. "I don't understand the point of this game."

Blair rolls a three and lands on chance and pulls out a card. "Take a walk on the boardwalk. Hmm..I think I liked it better when I got money." He moves his little dog to the boardwalk and looked around. "I can buy this? Cool!"

Pippi opts to roll in order to escape from jail.

"Double 5's!" She moves her shoe out of the jail and into "just visiting".

She also tells a short, for Pippi, story about how she, Tommy, and Annika ran away and were arrested for busking without a licence. And how they escaped.

Really, it wasn't a dramatic escape. Pippi just pulled the bars out of the window and they crawled out.

Jack rolled a four and a one, and landed on Vetnor Avenue, which was owned by Nadia. He leaned forward and looked soulful. "What can I offer you instead of rent?"

Re: Table 2 - GAME ON

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia gave Jack an innocent look and thought for a moment, taking a surreptitious look at his properties while she was at it.

"How about you just give me Marvin Gardens?"

Re: Table 2 - GAME ON

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Jack pouted. "Parker, are you sure you're not related to this girl?" He grinned, and shook his head. "Freshman used to be more easily led astray," he said, paying out the rent.

Re: Table 2 - GAME ON

[nadiathesaint]

"You'll find I'm quite--" Nadia stopped when she realized she didn't know the word in English. "Um, thanks, who's next?"

"Try leading astray one of us older girls, Harkness," said Janet, grinning at him. "Leave the impressionable freshmen to their own kind." She rolled an eleven and moved to Community Chest. "All right! Grand Opera opening!" She held out her hand. "Fifty dollars from everyone to pay for your opening night tickets."

"Jaaaanet." Jack grinned. "I think that you can waive the $50, don't you?" He leaned in close and wiggled his eyebrows. Parker was smothering laughter behind him. "After all, I'm already behind, and either way, you come out ahead."

Re: Table 2 - GAME ON

[janet_fraiser]

Janet raised one eyebrow and looked at Jack. "Waive the fifty?" she asked, amused. "What are you going to give me instead? I'm not coming out of this deal with nothing."

Re: Table 2 - GAME ON

"A kiss, and a rent waiver?" Jack offered as Parker whispered in his ear. "Come on, you stand to gain money now, I stand to save money, we both get what we want." He grinned and leaned in closer. "Have I ever told you I love redheads?"

Re: Table 2 - GAME ON

[janet_fraiser]

Janet pretended to think it over. "Rent waiver of my choosing, and a kiss," she said. "Then it's a deal. And you adore everyone, don't you?" But, hey, what the hell. She leaned in and pressed a kiss softly against his lips, but laughed as he dipped her back and kissed her soundly.

"Let's really make it worth it, Janet," he said, smirking at her.

Re: Table 2 - GAME ON

Parker whistled, then chortled as Jack pulled Janet back up. "This makes up for you not being at Spin the Bottle last night, and you ducking out early," she said, pointing from Jack to Janet.

She rolled and got double sixes, and grinned as she moved around the board to the Water Works. After paying Pip, and pouting at him, she rolled the dice and got a three and a six. "Let's seee.... Park Place. Nadia. $35, have fun with it."

"Sweet, double sixes," Pip said. "Where was there a spin the botle game and why the hell wasn't I invited?" he asked as he moved the piece. He lands on States Avenue and throws the money over to Jack. "Quit hitting on the freshmen Harkness, it makes you seem like a cradle robber."

He rolls and gets a six and a five, putting him smack on Illinois avenue, which he already owns.

Re: Table 2 - GAME ON

Jack gave Pip a pitying look. "If they can smile back, it's not cradle-robbing." He dimpled at Pip. "But I'll hit on you too, if it'll make you feel better, mon ami," he added, mimicking Pip's accent.

Nadia rolled a four and ended up on Med Ave. She got her 200 bucks and tossed 2 at Pip. "Don't spend it all in one place."

Re: Table 2 - GAME ON

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Spin the bottle?"

Re: Table 2 - GAME ON

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia leaned over toward Blair. "We've got the two most expensive properties on the board. What do you say we team up?"

Re: Table 2 - GAME ON

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

Blair bounced and smiled. "Sure! And then maybe we can donate our rent money to charity and start a co-op farm on the boardwalk!"

Re: Table 2 - GAME ON

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia blinked, then grinned. "As long as it means we win, sure."

Re: Table 2 - GAME ON

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

Blair looked down at the board and then back up at Nadia. "You know, I'm not sure how we win the game."

Re: Table 2 - GAME ON

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia shrugged. "Neither am I. You know, other than turning the whole board over and throwing the pieces on the floor."

Re: Table 2 - GAME ON

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

"We'll save that idea for later."

Parker tsked at both of them. "Monopoly anarchists. Get the beyond me, heathens."
