7th Treasure - [Video]
[The video flicks on to show Patty, grinning from ear to ear and holding a colorful box in her hands.]
Ahoy, Luceti! Who's up for playing a board game tonight? I found this beauty in the store today! [She gives the box a loud shake, then flips it over to read from the back.] "The world's number one game has gone global! This world-class Monopoly gameboard has you traveling to cities across the globe." [She breaks off for a moment, turning her attention back to the camera.] I'm not sure which globe they're talking about. They mention Africa and North-America, so that's Earth, right? I'm pretty sure it's Earth... [Her gaze moves back down to the box in her hands.] "You'll cross six continents before you pass Go. Get ready to wheel and deal in the millions of dollars with your own Monopoly credit card and a digital banking device that keeps track of your balance."
Sounds exciting, right? Says here I need two to six players, but you have to be older than eight to play, ya know. Might be too scary for the littlest kids. [She puts the box down on the table and lifts the lid off, then fishes out the board itself. One hand grabs the journal to adjust its angle after she's unfolded the board, so she can show it off.]
This looks pretty complicated. It even comes with tiny little houses! Anyone who wants to help me figure out how to play is welcome! I'll make hot cocoa if you bring your own snacks, ya know.

Heh, if you can get the other people playing to agree to keep playing for days, that is.

Well, I guess, most people just aren't the invested in a game that doesn't have a very physical reward.

I'm sure you can find some like-minded people. I mean, people make it through Dungeons and Dragons after all. I just never had the attention span for a full game of Monopoly.

It's more like role-playing. People make up stories, and use dice to determine the outcomes of situations. That's all I really know about it, I never actually played it.

I'm sure you can. I mean, that game is centuries old back home and it's STILL played - with more tech, but it's played. Someone here should know how or want to.

Re: video;
I'm sure you could. It'd probably be a nice distraction from this place for most.

Me? Uh... I dunno... I guess Bones can't really complain about me sitting throwing dice, right?

Re: video;
Oh, me being physical. He doesn't believe I'm recovered enough to handle walking around yet, which is ridiculous, I've been doing it for months.

Re: video;
A little bit of both, but I'm fine, trust me. It's just taking me a bit to pop back up from it. Hope that doesn't mean I'm getting old, right? I'm only in my twenties...

Oh come on, thirty isn't that bad!

Oh come on, you have to give a guy til he's fifty before he goes downhill!
