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.]

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."

"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.

Re: Table 2 - GAME ON

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

"Yes, actually," Pip said. "I'm feeling very left out. Don't expect to get anywhere with me, though. And your accent is terrible."

Re: Table 2 - GAME ON

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Jack shrugged amiably, not at all insulted. "You want Italian? Molto handsome, uomo." Jack wasn't quite sure what he'd just said, but it was something he's heard C.J. say to Ten, so he figured it at least wasn't too bad. He grinned. "It's not the destination, kid. It's the ride along the way."

Re: Table 2 - GAME ON

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

Pip smiled at Jack and responded in French. "When speaking foreign languages, actually know what you're saying. I will give you the part about the ride, though. While the best rides do eventually reach their destination, the ride is infinitely more important."

Re: Table 2 - GAME ON

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker gave Pip a cool look, then replied in perfect French on Jack's behalf, "Insult him in his own language, or keep a civil tongue, child." Then she smiled sweetly, and laid her head down on Jack's shoulder. "And how like a boy to think the destination is all."

Re: Table 2 - GAME ON

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

Pip blinked. "... I don't think either of us said the destination was everything. Did you Jack?"

Re: Table 2 - GAME ON

Parker gave him a narrow-eyed glance, then nodded carefully.

Jack blinked away from flirting/being threatened by Nadia. "What? Oh, sure. Ow, Parker!"

Parker's smile was definitely feline.

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

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

Blair rolls an 11 and lands in jail. "Um...what?"

Re: Table 2 - GAME ON

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia patted his hand. "I'm pretty sure that means you're only visiting."

Re: Table 2 - GAME ON

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

Blair looked down at his hand and decided that jail wasn't all that bad.

Re: Table 2 - GAME ON

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Pippi is just leaving jail. She rolls a 5 and a 1. She waves to Blair.

"Bye! Have fun in jail!"

She lands on St. "Chuck's" and pays Jack. Bing a big spender she gives him $15 instead of $14.

"Keep the change kid, buy yourself something nice."

Re: Table 2 - GAME ON

[janet_fraiser]

Jack would offer her the dollar back, but he notices Janet and Parker both eyeing him. So instead he gives her his most winning smile. And keeps the dollar.

"Fifty dollars, Blair," says Harkness, as he lands on Boardwalk. "Or do you want to work out a trade?" He passed up on hitting on one freshman. But two? That's impossible.

He's so distracted he forgets to roll again, and Janet doesn't bother mentioning it to him either. She just rolls, passes Go--and definitely grabs her $200--before landing on Community Chest. "I just can't get any property, can I?" she asks, before collecting another $200. "Bank error in my favor. Nice."

"Spin the bottle?"

Re: Table 2 - GAME ON

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Never heard of it?" Parker said, stretching out and bumping her foot against Jack's.

Re: Table 2 - GAME ON

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Hmmmmm, nope. Can't say I have. I learned a lot of games... But I can't say I've ever played that. Though I think my friend Annika mentioned it to me once."

Re: Table 2 - GAME ON

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"A bottle is put in the middle of the circle; you spin it; and you kiss who ever it points to." Parker grinned at Pippi. "We had quite a bit of fun with that last night."

Re: Table 2 - GAME ON

"Did you win?"

Re: Table 2 - GAME ON

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker's cheshire grin is probably answer enough.

Re: Table 2 - GAME ON

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Pippi grinned back and supposed that it was the sort of game where everybody wins.
