RITUAL GAME NIGHT


AN ANNUAL TRADITION



PAYAPA SHOTS end up being more appealing than a meaningless game of cornhole. the casual nature of the sport isn’t stimulating enough to rouse him from his drink. instead, he watches lob it upward.

look like someone else has earned the moniker of ‘noodle arm’.

bit early to blame the alcohol, no?

for good measure, fernando kills the rest of his can. a firm squeeze crumples the aluminum before he washes it down with a payapa shot.

but who’s to say?

he smiles, mockingly, one eye closed before chucking all three of his darts in quick succession.

'His attitude' gets him a cornnbag, pegged into the back of ’s head with a satisfying smack.

Might not be what had in mind when she had snarled at him like a rabid bear, but Angelo considers it a win, none the less.

My bad.” He says, void of any real regret. Tongue coated with whisky and amusement, just as rich. “It's hard to miss when your head has its own gravitational pull.

is next to take a shot, giving Angelo no time to retrieve his drink before the next game.

There's no way he can turn down the challenge when the man bothered to crunch an empty can beneath his manicured nails.

Clearly, Silph meant business.

And maybe, wanted to show off that his arm strength had improved since last year.

Angelo lets out a condescending whistle.

Who's to say.

He peers at Fernando out of the corner of his gaze, lips lazily tilted into something knowing, before his darts take to the air. 

No need to ask for a re-do, yet.

Remi's brows raise in amusement.

"Nice throw, asshole."

The next game rolls around and Remi sets down her drink with a resounding thud. She rolls up her proverbial sleeves and grabs hold of three darts. Teddiursa has managed to sneak off someplace near the dart boards in preparation. Though admittedly, the cub's intentions really don't reflect her own.

One after another, she tosses her thrown darts. And, whichever one was the lowest, Teddiursa would do her best to discreetly and quickly move it closer to the middle without being caught.

Remi stifles her snort in the bottom of her glass while she takes another sip.

MEGA-THREAD
GAMES AND PRIZES
SCHEDULED END: LATE MARCH



CEE-LO


( four-five-six, chinchiro, dice, roll-off... )[break][break]
[break]
instead of the bar’s proprietor, this time, a man with a sunken, solemn face takes the mic. those who frequent the speakeasy below might recognize him as slate milhaus, ritual’s senior underground bartender and long-time rocket. he contrasts roach in his immaculate attire and mannerisms. [break][break]
”good evening. mr. roach has had to step away a moment. he’s asked me to inform you all that you’ll be playing cee-lo. you may collect your dice at the bar. good luck.”


GUIDELINES & INFO


round 3 instructions


please note your team in your post.[break][break]
  • there are three dice. roll three times.
  • if you use a pokémon with the ability SUPER LUCK or the move LUCKY CHANT, you may add or subtract 10 from any one of your rolls. this perk excludes automatic losses. ***rule change: you may now switch pokémon.
  • you may roll again as many times as you like this round in multiple posts (unless you lose)—just don’t double-post. there may be multiple winners this round, and you may win or gain points multiple times. dm me if you win and i will roll a gacha for you.
[break]
outcomes are based on the following combinations:[break][break]
+100 points / win:[break][break]
* sequential 40’s – 50’s – 60’s (i.e. 42 – 54 – 67)[break]
* triples (i.e. 31 – 36 – 35)[break][break]
+ other points:[break][break]
* doubles (i.e. 31 – 36 – 48) – take the amount of the unalike roll, in this case the 48[break][break]
automatic loss (no more turns this round for you):[break][break]
* doubles with anything below 10 as the unalike roll (ie. 31 – 36 – 5)[break]
* sequential 10’s – 20’s – 30’s (i.e 18 – 23 – 37)[break][break]
these points are added to your total. if none of your rolls match these, your rolls for that turn are inconsequential. feel free to try again. also, to note, your rolls do not have to actually occur in order.


new players: read


please refer to page one for game night rules. there are no sign-ups, and you may hop in at any time. [break][break]
this is a team vs team style tournament, but two people will face off at a time per game. feel free to write your matches against an npc, or another character on the opposing team in your posts for fun.[break][break]
if you have not participated in game night yet, roll once ahead of your other rolls to determine your team. evens are blue, odds are red.


scoreboard


each round, the winning team will gain a point for game night. individual scores are listed next to a character's name, however, these have no effect on their team's total points for the event. [break][break]
there will be prizes for the winning team, the top roller of the night (regardless of team), and for the top roller of each round, respectively.[break][break]
*** if i have made a mistake, please let me know. i encourage you to keep track of your score in your post.[break][break]

"Sootopolis, hm?" Gavin's lips curve into a smile. Rocket or no, the citizens of Sootopolis were his people, in his mind. "I live there too, actually. Maybe I will check it out. Does this 'small business' have a name?"

Then she mentions , and Gavin blinks.

'Our Killian?' he mouths to , turning his head away so that won't see the silent question.

Perhaps their lives were more entwined than Gavin had assumed.

Another game is rolled out, and Gavin recalls Psellia to bring out one of his Murkrow. They weren't often seen with the underboss, for the birds were more companions than combatants. This one is a bit of a charm, being SUPER LUCKY and all.

With a friendly incline of his head toward Slate, Gavin goes to the bar and retrieves his dice.

He wasn’t one for superfluous drinking so, yes, perhaps he was a bit of a lightweight. He was also short, and lean, and he really liked those designer shots the bar had served up, or whatever you called them.

The air was full of the sound of buzzing darts. assured him the next drink would be taken care of. Happy and satiated, Memo leaned back on the bar to watch the blonde take his turn at the game, a satisfied smile oozing across his face.

Once Adam had finished his round, Memo laughed and clapped his hands. “How did my no look shot go better than my second one?” he snickered, adding “And your first!” kind of as an inebriated afterthought. To be clear, he wasn’t, like, full on yammered. He was having a good time. He was playing into it. He was relaxed. No one had died, yet, despite the gaggle of rough-lookers all buddying up together in the bar.

Night was still young, though.

A different guy with a bird-like face and well cut suit stepped up to announce the next game and Memo’s first thought was When did Cee Lo Green get a game named after him?

He had absolutely no idea what the fuck was going on in this game.

Scooting his stool forward, he leaned in close to Adam-- a little closer than before. “I’m just gonna roll, and then maybe you can tell me what the fuck is happening,” he said with a laugh, cupping the dice in his left hand and giving them a firm shake. “Big money, no whammies. Papa needs Pokeballs.”

He let them fly.

Had not told his sister to be cautious about who she spoke to about knowing him? Sure, if he wants to keep their relationship a secret for both their sakes, he had warned , no? But, if he had, then why is she mentioning his name so freely? Is it because she’s talking to him and she knows he’s friends with Killian? Good gods.
[break][break]
”Oh, don’t worry. My lips are sealed.” Mars laughs lightly at her comment, and when ’s soundless question comes, his response is also mouthed when Lis isn’t looking. Long story. Which, admittedly, isn’t a lie, but is also his way of buying himself some time. See, the part of Mars that knows Gavin and what he’s like doubts the underboss would ever use knowledge of Killian’s family to bring him harm, but there’s also the part that’s paranoid and that has spent a lifetime seeing such things being used against people – the part that has dealt with his own loved ones being used against him more than once. Plus, even if Gavin would do nothing with the knowledge, there’s other people here who could use it, and those he definitely doesn’t trust.
[break][break]
If there’s any silver lining, perhaps it’s that the games are a good way to take their attention away from all that, and with cee-lo being the next one, the sight of dice brings reminders of an afternoon of drinks and games at the renfaire a few months back. So, naturally, his attention turns to .
[break][break]
”Hope this works out better than when you played caster, Vestri.” He winks at the man, sipping his drink just as he reaches for the dice. His Inkay is called back, Musharna being called in its place.
[break][break]
Harmless yet familiar mist surrounds him as dice are cast, and if only for a moment, it brings back reminders of all too grim times…

He returned with two shot glasses and passed one to the other Galarian, knocking back his drink in one go.

Well, that was quick. Maybe a little too quick but who cares?!

“Them’s the breaks,” he rumbled to the other with this smirk on his face. “Basically means we bloody suck,” he added with a cackle.

“Shame we’re on opposing teams, so we’d be technically at each other’s throats by now. But eh, I got the next drinks covered too.”

Yeah, drinks… there were lots.

And then it was dice. At least there was no fancy dice trickery involved… or was there?

“Look, I’m equally as lost as you are,” he cracked as he came back with another shot glass, this time holding the dice as he watched the other man make his throw.

“It’s dice. Score low, you suck, haha,” he continued as he shook his other hand where the dice click-clacked together before he took his throw.

“Come on…”

And then, he threw the dice.

Angelo's pokemon aren’t the only thing that are swapped out, his Wingull taking - no doubt nefariously motivated - leave for a silent shadow that presses herself to the back of his calves.

Needle-tipped darts within his fingers are replaced for dice, the smooth ivory cradled within his palm rolled with a pleasant clatter.

Their shape sitting within his grasp with familiarity, ease for their unpredictability honed after countless hours spent tossing them with the other pilots at the local Lilycove hangar or beneath his very feet.

And, as it turns out, it's not him that finds the game nostalgic.

The sentiment is mutual.” He responds to , their smiles a pointed blade hovering over the other's throat, poking. “Your roll wasn't the only thing that was underwhelming.

That drunken push was as embarrassing as it was hilarious.

Behind him, bright eyes watch the dice clatter and roll over the tabletop. But unlike the cunning sparkle in a Decidueye's glare, they only wish for a lucky hand.

conclusion




dice are thrown across tables as the round commences, and the bar becomes a little louder as competitive spirits are awakened by the flowing alcohol. some clearly have luck on their side, while many others roll repeatedly without any success. in the end, perhaps it is not the red or blue team that have prevailed this evening, but team rocket. [break][break]

as both underboss and future underboss collect their wins–fair or not–the result of game night for the rest is ultimately shown to be a tie. everyone is thanked for participating and rewarded accordingly.


prizes


i apologize for taking so long on this! since it has been a while, i’ve decided this last one will have been the final round. thank you for playing and for your patience![break][break]

due to the nature of the last game, i have also determined that adding more points to teams would be unfair. the tie remains, so both teams won. congrats![break][break][break]
