04 🍎 Some cats, they know how to fight, some cats run

[sauntervaguelydownwards]

So let’s get this straight. Giant monsters attack cities all over the Pacific Rim [aaah he said the title!], slaughtering hundreds of people in destructive rampages, and three-quarters of you dive headfirst into glorified suits of armor to punch and shoot them.

Right. More proof that the lot of you are crazy.

[Private to Loki]
You, me, Monopoly. What do you say?

Another game. Not much else to do before figuring out something good.

I'll be there in a few.

[Loki will be waiting, the door open.]

So did you end up fighting some monsters?

[He comments about the recent breach when Crowley arrives.]

[Crowley shows up with the board tucked under his arm, and laughs at Loki's question.]

Are you kidding? Just how dumb do you think I am?

[Spam]

[tricksandmischief]

I wasn't myself at the time. I thought my warden was my brother... and by that I do not mean I thought he was Thor.

[Spam]

[sauntervaguelydownwards]

However did you make it through?

[Spam]

[tricksandmischief]

With much patience.

[That may not be true. There may have been bickering and shoving.]

[Spam]

[sauntervaguelydownwards]

And what else? Patience doesn't get anyone anywhere.

[tricksandmischief]

We worked together. It's possible, even through conflict.

[Crowley raises his eyebrows, then chuckles.] You almost had me on that one.

[Spam]

[tricksandmischief]

Regardless, show me this monopoly game of yours.

[sauntervaguelydownwards]

Right. Where should I set this up?

[He opens the box anyway and hands Loki the instructions.] It's a simple enough concept. Buy as much space as you can and try to drive the other person into bankruptcy.

[He waves to a nearby desk with a nice roomy flat surface and skims through the instructions.]

So I have to acquire as many properties as possible and make gold? Do these places really exist?

[Spam]

[sauntervaguelydownwards]

Unfortunately, no. [Crowley sets out the board and counts out a proper amount of money, then lays it out.] If they were I wouldn't gamble them against you.

[Spam]

[tricksandmischief]

Are you afraid that you will lose?

[Spam]

[sauntervaguelydownwards]

Most of the time? No. To you?

Maybe.

[Spam]

[tricksandmischief]

[He smirks.]

Wise.

[Spam]

[sauntervaguelydownwards]

No one gets this far being stupid.

[Spam]

[tricksandmischief]

Oh, some rely on very dumb luck.
