Chapter Text
Leorio drew a black card and set it face up in the middle of our little circle on the floor, ‘what turned me republican?’ It said
I looked over my cards and ended up being the first one to select. I quickly placed my chosen card face down in the middle and waited for everyone else.
Azul is next, letting out a small breath in exchange for a laugh.
After that it's Gon, who seems to not completely know how to play but is trying anyway.
Then, coming in at 10 minutes 14 seconds, Kurapika finally sets down his card.
Leorio picks up the cards, gives them a one over, before putting down a card I assume belonged to Azul as they give a tini fist pump and grab the card.
Next it's my turn, I draw a black and place it down.
‘You can buy _____ on the dark web’
Everyone goes and I pick up the whites.
‘Finger painting’, ‘a supersized toilet’, and, I cringe slightly, letting out a barely noticeable whimper ‘my little boner’.
I quickly select ‘finger painting’ and put the whites in the discard pile while Azul takes the black again.
We continue like that for….I would say about 2 hours, no one really winning or losing.
It turned out that we were supposed to set a number of points someone needed to get before they won, but since we didn’t we ended up playing until we were all out of white cards. Azul ended up winning with 24 points, Me and Leorio right after, tying with 23, and in last place was Kurapika with 15 points.
It was…...interesting….to say the least, neither me or anyone in Alluka’s system had every done something like this. Yes, we had played games before, but rarely with the actual cards, and if we did have the actual game it was always falling apart. For example, when we played uno, we had looked up the rules on Milluki’s computer while he was out at an anime convention, took a beat up deck of regular cards that…. he had left a few years back, and played with those, using Kings as draw fours, Jokers as color changers, so on and so forth. So…...getting to actually play a game the way we were supposed to was fun…...a lot of fun. It was probably the most fun I had had in…..well…...forever. Which is actually kind of depressing now that I think about it, but it’s true.
We had just been pasing the ‘Welcome to Louisiana’ sign when we saw it……………..the biggest…...most eccentric…….. pancake house ever , it was glorious .
The entire thing was a giant circle, and it was painted to look like a bright pink pancake, which wasn’t the oddest thing we had seen in our travels, but that wasn’t it. The oddest thing, was the neon fence surrounding the giant ass pancake, it was built to look like it was made of ginormous Uno cards, and, as we got closer, we saw them .
