[GIANT JENGA] - While not necessarily a Liyue classic, a recent uptick amongst the younger generation has brought this classic game to the port, and with blocks bigger than ever! Will you best your friend, or will all the pieces come crumbling down?

"My turn, hehe."

It's a fun little game. Cute, really. But it isn't without a competitive aspect, a push to do well inherent in the crowds those playing tend to accumulate.

And Sampo's rival here and now especially seems to have a knack for drawing an audience without even trying. It's not enough to make him sweat, not on its own, of course. He's an opportunist at heart, and not of a shy disposition. If anything… he can work with this.

"Say, Lil Gui! Have I mentioned I'm a big fan?"

He looks their tower over, humming in thought. Hand sets on hip. He grins, confident. "Would you care for a bet? If I win… what do you think about a spot of product review?"

Sampo's decided on where he wants to place his next block. There. Nice and steady… that should do it!

[Roll 1d10: 3]

Ohhhh, that's not good. He sees his mistake too late.

The way he's set himself up, the lil miss might be able to set him up for a precarious go this next round if she plays her cards right.

Well, so much for that business plan…!

Of course at the sight of MEGA TALL TOWER OF WOODEN BLOCKS Guinaifen's interest is yoinked! Eyes wide as she practically runs up to the thing ( or, as close as she can without disturbing the people's game that was already in progress ). She watches the participates, and asks the audience what they were doing and what the rules were yadayada. It seems simple enough, but you gotta play gravity and physics in your favor.. Good thing she's a street performer with lots of talent in making the impossible possible!

The next time an opening is available to play, Guinaifen shoves her way through ( politely! She has manners. ) the crowd of onlookers to make herself a player in the next round. She ends up standing across from a man with blue hair with some sick white tips dyed white ( possible new [temporary] look? ) and a rather striking sense of familiarity. Guinaifen swears she's seen this man before, though she meets a lot of people ( happens when you're just that approachable and friendly [and a media sensation] ) so she could easily just be making a mistake.

She lets it go rather quickly, more interested in the game than the person she's up against. She wants to win, darn it!

The two exchange idle and playful, and most importantly sportsman-like, banter as they continue on turn after turn. The redhead doesn't think much of her opponent, other than he's a hilarious dude and seems really smart. ..Well, she does until he makes a big Oof- a real stinker of a move, ya know?

But she isn't too hellbent on wreckin' this guy so quick, as he is highly entertaining. Plus, with the possibility of a sponsorship? Don't want to burn that bridge before it's built! Lil Gui is highly intrigued by this guy and his little bet. Ain't get nowhere in life if you don't take some risks!

❛ Glad to hear you're a fan, good sir! Though, if you wanna talk business and sponsorships, you don't have to hide it behind a bet on a fun and simple game. ❜

She laughs gently, more of a friendly sound of amusement than anything cynical. Guinaifen has been approached by many types of people wanting to partner up, or simply to meet her irl, so there isn't anything about the "business man" that sends any sort of red flags ( for now, at least ).

She scans the tower over several times before finding a block that would still work in her favor, but still give the man a chance to make a come back. After all, she's having fun, so why cut the entertainment short? As a reward for providing her with some fun, she provides him a genuine offer of a statement.

❛ You're a funny guy. I like you. I'm willing to hear you out, with or without the victory. ❜
