clubhouse to barn

[despair_to_live]

WHO: The weeds...?
WHERE: The new Weeds Barn!
WHEN: 105 evening/night

[The Queen is sitting at the poker table, talking to (or more accurately: 'at') anyone nearby.]

...So, you see, my death at the ritual today was just as planned! It was all strategy! I called that demon out with a bet. A bet that no matter what happened, when everything looked pointless, the sheep would absolutely, one hundred percent, no hesitation, decide to throw us, the so-called 'evil' team, under the bus to save their own skin. And they took it! They wagered the sheep would be selfless to the end. Ha! That's the suckers' bet. Never bet on hope. Despair is going to win, every time!

[She finishes shuffling cards.]

So, that's how I won a bet, that's why we have this new barn, and I've got a sore throat.

[she grins]

How was your day?


[feel free to do your own thing and just ignore the Queen, of course.]

[huffs lightly into her hair]

...Then we'll do our best and see.

[hotnbothered]

Right.

Until then... perhaps we should make the most of the time we have now.

[stirtheblood]

Yeah?

[now he can hear the grin in his voice]

Whaddaya think would be the most?

[hotnbothered]

D-Don't play dumb! You have an idea, or you wouldn't sound so infuriatingly smug!

[stirtheblood]

Oh, I can prob'ly come up with lots of ideas.

[hotnbothered]

[ Cranes forward a little like she's intrigued despite herself. ]

Lots of them...?

[stirtheblood]

[runs his hands down her spine]

...Sure. There's all different kinds of stuff people do, right?

[hotnbothered]

[ Lets a tiny, surprised squeak slip. ]

I-I presume, yes...

[stirtheblood]

I don't got much more firsthand experience than you, but that just means we gotta try out everythin' ourselves, right?

[this is reasonable]

[hotnbothered]

[ Huffs, but it manages to sound more fond than exasperated. ]

That's predicated on knowing what "everything" even is.

[stirtheblood]

It can't be that hard to figure out...

[hotnbothered]

Well... I'm sure the basics aren't...

[stirtheblood]

From there we can do whatever we want, right?

[hotnbothered]

... Hmph. If you say so.

[stirtheblood]

You wanna try it out?

[hotnbothered]

We can't jump into—a-anything—just like that! That's so unromantic! Woo me a little first!

[stirtheblood]

[laughs]

We can do whatever we want. You want some romance? I ain't really got any experience with that, but I can try. A candlelight dinner?

[hotnbothered]

[ NODS FIRMLY though she really only has a vague idea of what this should look like herself. ]

And... a gift.

[stirtheblood]

A gift, huh... I can prob'ly figure somethin' out.
