I just invite them to a game or two, deal the cards, and reap the rewards.

[ Average things! ]

People normally don't take losing very well.

[mygod]

Ah, I see. They don't realize they're playing against a professional liar.

[ lots of assumptions being made here on famine's side ]

Then they shouldn't have sat down at the table with you.

[tactic]

Hey, I'm an honest person. I like to play fair.

[ EHHHHHHHHH it's kind of cheating when luck is always on his side. :/ ]

[mygod]

Are you?

[ a vague tone of doubt ]

You clearly misdirect and obfuscate as it suits you.

[tactic]

[ Yes, he sure does do that. ]

Let's play a round. When we finally meet face to face again.

[mygod]

After I just said people must be foolish to accept wagering against you?

[ funny ]

What would be in it for me?

[tactic]

What, a moment spent with yours truly isn't enough for you?

[ meanwhile me, gagging ]

[mygod]

I do not hate your company. You don't need to trick me into playing a game with you for that.

[tactic]

[ Flabbergasted silence. ]

[mygod]

[ laughs ]

Ah. Now I'm the one who wants to see the face you're making.

[tactic]

Why? Maybe I dropped something and had to go fetch it.

[ His silence could have been ANYTHING. ]

[mygod]

And you called yourself an honest person? Interesting.

[tactic]

I'm just trying to keep you on your toes. You're certainly keeping me on mine.

[mygod]

I'm not trying.

[ thanks famine ]

Let me guess. You have the impression of me as some cold and unfeeling individual who was ready to tell you to get lost at any moment?

[tactic]

... I thought that was true at first, but I'll admit, that's not the impression I have of you now.

[mygod]

Oh? Should I ask after your current impression?

[tactic]

Someone who's a bit too honest.

[ Keeps it simple. ]

[mygod]

Is there truly such a thing?

[ yea it makes famine a rudeass ]

[tactic]

I wasn't sure before, but after speaking with you?

[ A small huff of a laugh. ]

Definitely.

[mygod]

Hmm... I'm deciding whether or not to be offended...

[tactic]

Take it as a compliment. I mean it as one.

[mygod]

Ah. In that case, you're right.

[ DON'T JUST ACCEPT THAT ]

[tactic]

[ YOU ARE SOOOOOOOOOOO

But we are moving to new week new thread now. ]
