One last bit of Dorky goodness

[thebratqueen]

If you've been following wes_visions_rpg you'll know that Angel and Buffy recently passed some time by playing Trouble.



TBQ: you know I picture Angel arguing a lot about why they don't take the die out of the bubble

Buffybot: hee hee he is such a dork

Angel: "Why is it in there? So you can take it on car trips? Why do the other pieces move then?"

Buffy: Ack! It's just fun!

Angel: "Uh-huh."

Buffy: and bubble rhymes with trouble

Buffy: good for the jingles

Angel: "Well so do.... other words."

Buffy: like what brain boy?

Angel: I'm thinking!

Buffy: pop-o-matic rubble?

Angel: [lips visibly moving as he goes through the alphabet]

Buffy: stubble?

Angel: [with smug satisfaction] Double.

Buffy: double what? What kinda song is that?

Angel: I don't know! Not like I made up the game!

Angel: I'm just saying other words rhyme

Buffy: Right, so just push the bubble down and let the fun happen

Angel: You *sure* it's not broken?

Buffy: No, but if you keep pushing like that it is gonna break

Angel: [immediately stops trying to push and gestures for Buffy to do it if she's so smart and good at it]

Buffy: [pushes it and it makes that super satisfying Pop! noise] I got a six, so I move my piece 1..2..3..4..5..6..

Angel: That's 7.

Buffy: Is not!

Angel: Is too! Look [points and counts] You were *here*, now you're *here*. Seven.

Buffy: Nu-uh. Six, see, the starting space doesn't count

Angel: Why not? It's there.

Buffy: Because I started on it. It just doesn't, ok?

Angel: Sure. Fine.

Angel: Six it is.

Buffy: ok, your turn

Angel: [pushes and barely makes the die move] Um - does that count?

Buffy: [looks at the lame die pop] it was a good try, but it's still on my roll. A *little* harder

Angel: [pushes a little harder then darts hand back as though afraid to break it. Die tips over onto its side] Okay, does *that* count?

Buffy: [sighs] yes, that counts.

Angel: [gamely - no pun intended - moves pieces] What's the point of this again?
