[Or small female-identifying turtles, anyway, but regardless, she's black so she's up. And if he thought he could record it for future reference, he would.]
[Nanny cams to catch all the turtle moments. ... and lady Yukihina moments because why not.
Hmph, she got him with that one. He drums his fingers on his chin for a second--the start is so important!--then sets another piece down, only turning one of hers over. Not great, but he's playing the long game, or so he tells himself.]
[He can appreciate it aesthetically maybe, but otherwise, welllll...]
Who're they?
[She doesn't seem as stymied with those two names as she was earlier so hopefully it's safe to ask. Izumida plays another piece and again is only able to turn one.]
[He'd mention that that doesn't actually mean anything to him, but why? She clearly admires Shigure, and he's not going to grow any in her esteem in this game. His next move is a little desperate, only taking a couple of her pieces at the far side of the board.]
no subject
He's not saying he's not up to it, though.]
When you're done. I'll set it down then and we can start playing!
no subject
Mmmhm!
[ She pulls away from the straw, a drop or two dripping on the couch, going back to the strawberries for a few bites. ]
H1yori's d0ne f0r n0w, sh3'll h@ve mor3 later.
no subject
When she says she's done, he sets the glass down and turns to face the board.]
All right! Would you like to... wait.
[He looks between the pieces and Hiyori-san for a moment.]
Hiyori-san, can you carry these?
no subject
[ It just won't be fast. But at least he can relish in how cute and non-murderous she looks while doing it. ]
no subject
[Or small female-identifying turtles, anyway, but regardless, she's black so she's up. And if he thought he could record it for future reference, he would.]
no subject
[ He should prepare better for it next time.
She picks up the little piece and plunks it down on the board. This is going to get tough the further into the game they are. ]
no subject
Mental movies of cute things like that. Wow.]
Hmmmm....
[Izumida barely knows the rules so she's probably going to kick his ass. He puts his piece down and flips one of hers over. Ha!]
no subject
She pouts, and after shuffling around the board a little places one so she gets to flip two tiles to black. Ha! right back at him! ]
no subject

no subject
Shuffling around again she puts one down, turning around one of his this time. ]
no subject
Do you play this a lot, Hiyori-san?
[Tick, another piece, and two of hers turned over!]
no subject
Hiy0ri play3d i7 with S33ker & 5higure.
[ And one of hers with a confident clack, turning over three to black. ]
no subject
Who're they?
[She doesn't seem as stymied with those two names as she was earlier so hopefully it's safe to ask. Izumida plays another piece and again is only able to turn one.]
no subject
5eeker i5 1 of H1yori's daddi3s. Sh1gure i5 lik3 her br0ther.
[ Hiyori's turn! She turns over three. ]
no subject
One of? How many do you have? Yukihina is one of them, right?
[He managed to turn two this time! ... He's still losing pretty bad though.]
no subject
Th3re's Yuuki, S3eker, K0uji and um... Pr1nce, but... [ Prince is kind of her enemy now, hence her sadness.
She turns over two right back to distract herself. ] There!
no subject
Izumida makes a little mental note--Prince, huh?--but doesn't pursue it.]
Are any of the rest of them here?
[A more successful move! He's able to turn over four of her pieces, totally not realizing he's lined himself up to get a whole row taken away.]
I just have a mom and dad at home, but I also have an older brother!
no subject
[ He can't have missed the gigantic cartoon cat drawn all over the outside of the house, can he?
She grins deviously, turning his whole row over. ]
no subject
Who was Code:03? You haven't mentioned him yet.
[Ouch. Well... he places a piece and manages to get a couple of hers back.]
no subject
[ She takes a few of them right back. ]
no subject
[He's not sure if that would be a good thing or bad thing, having an enemy of Hiyori-san's around, but chances are they'd be just as dangerous.
He's going to lose this game badly, he can tell, but he can't stop trying! He reaches a corner and manages to get a couple of hers back.]
no subject
[ Why would Eden be here? There aren't any of the organization's members here to run it.
She turns a few of his right back. ]
no subject
You're very good at this game, Hiyori-san. What does Eden do?
no subject
[ That's just two out of many messed up things from her world. Most people are messed up in some way. ]
C0ntr0ls p0wer u5ers.
no subject
Oh, so people like you and Yukihina-san?
