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.]

"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.

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.

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

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."

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."

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."

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

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."

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

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

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

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."

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."

Blair waved his hands a little. "I'll just take the money man, I haven't really started exploring my homosexual tendencies yet."

Nadia flinched ever so slightly at the "yet" and aimed a Glare of Death (tm) at Jack.

He gave her a heart-struck look, batted his eyelashes at her, then blew her a kiss, and grinned, leaning back with his arms behind his head. "Nadia, beautiful, all you had to do was ask." What she had to ask, he didn't specify.

Parker kicked him on the ankle.

Nadia smiled sweetly, and instructed him to do something physically impossible and incredibly painful in Spanish.

"Would you do that for me?"

Jack looked thoughtful. "Not without somoene buying me dinner first."

Nadia couldn't decide whether to be vaguely appalled or vaguely amused.

So she stuck her tongue out at him.

Parker rolls a four and a two, and *finally* passes Go, collecting her $200, and then lands on Community Chest. "Yes! Get Out of Jail Free!" Parker dances the card around her edge of the board.

Jack frowns. "Parker, didn't you used to deal cards in Vegas? Tell me you didn't palm that from the bottom."

Parker pouted at him. "Jack, would I do that to you?"

"Yes, you--" Parker kissed him fast before he could continue his indictment, then pulled away. "Who's next?"

Pip gets a five and a three. He moves to North Carolina Avenue and peels out the money. "Damn, I'm not landing onanything buyable," he said, giving the money to Janet.

Nadia rolled two fours and landed on Conn Ave. She glanced at Blair. "We're business partners, right? So I don't have to pay you rent?"

Blair debated what to do for a minute and then shrugged. "I would say no but that would be favoritism and not good buisness ethics and I could say no because we're going on a date tomorrow but then it's not respecting your equality in our relationship. So I'm afraid it's yes, you have to pay me rent."

Nadia sighed and handed over the money. But, since they were business partners, that meant it was basically still hers, right? She rolls again.

One and One. She wasn't even going to try and talk Parker out of collecting rent. She handed over the ten dollars and rolled again.

Three and three. "Oh. That means I'm in jail, doesn't it." She moves her piece over and immediately starts plotting a daring jail break.
