#Blorbo Bursday

[faytelumos]

Happy blorbo blursday!! Your OCs are playing monopoly today! (Or some other similar board game.) Who goes mad with power, who starts threatening bodily harm, and who goes bankrupt within just a few rounds?

Shryth and her cast live in a socialist society and are unfamiliar with the concept of standardized currency. If anyone from her village could win a game on their first playthrough, though, it would be Syfreth and/or Ohrik.

Everybody resists the idea of pulling out the game, throwing looks at Fethu. She promises to go easy on everyone this time. Lutem is the banker this time.

Hhamath is slowly going broke the entire game because he's too nice.

Meva's still learning how to play, and she makes the fatal mistake of trading an extra valuable property to Fethu.

Once Athetæm gets a few properties, he keeps trying to land in jail.

Ræs hates this game, and he quits halfway through to do something more enjoyable. There's squabbling about what to do with his money before Fethu suggests they just keep playing his hand out.

Athetæm offers Hhamath a decent amount of Monopoly money to keep him in the game… for a favor. ;) Despite the fact that it is money printed on less-than-printer paper, Hhamath accepts and blushes every time he uses his new riches.

Meva loses, pouts, and then becomes the new banker. Lutem has been quietly stealing money the entire time and pretends not to mind this development.

Athetæm finally lands in jail. He gives Fethu a competitive grin, and she gives him one right back.

Hhamath is running out of money again. Lutem also offers him fake cash for real services, and he accepts, flustered.

Fethu asks Lutem where she got all that cash. There's a long silence before the table breaks out into excited arguing. The conclusion is that they now have to have an accountant.

Ræs' hand starts making money. Athetæm is no longer in jail and he's getting into trouble. It's breaking him to upgrade properties, and he can't compete with Fethu's buildings.

Hhamath and Lutem start running out of money. Fethu fans herself with her wad of bills, asking Athetæm if he's going to bail them out. The three of them scheme together briefly before declaring they're forming a credit union. Fethu laughs.

Ræs starts losing money again. Meva is chuckling and cackling every time Scales and Tails Credit Union tries to openly extort money from Fethu. She just raises an eyebrow at them and pulls out the claws.

Ræs is the next one to go bankrupt. Scales and Tails runs out of cash in a controlled manner, but they all go bankrupt. It's been seven hours.

Meva squeals with delight as she flips the board, scattering pieces and causing everyone to flinch.

Blorbo Bursday? I'm new to the concept but because I'm curious: Do you have a blorbo that would make a deal with god ?

April, absolutely. I don't even think it would have to be a good deal, sometimes it's about the adrenaline rush.

Ari would too, but he wouldn't half really read the fine print.

Neptune I would rate most likely to make a deal with god to become a god.

Hello new mutual! Here is your (belated) blursday ask :D :D

On a scale of 1 to 10, how well would your OCs drive if they had cars in their world? What shenanigans would crop up while they were learning? Who nearly runs over who?

:D! Hello, fellow mutual! Thank you for the question!

Hmm. Let's see. There are no cars, so I have to consider….

Hhamath would probably be a 6. He's decent, but he's not winning any awards. He maybe gets into one accident ever, and it'd a minor rear-end at a stoplight.

Ræs is probably a solid 4. He drives a big truck to compensate for his lack of vehicular coordination. Mostly, his problem is a constant, low-burn road rage. Any slight could set him off.

Athetæm is an 8. He's been driving for too long and too often to not be pretty about it.

Fethu is a strong 7. She's very logical and in-control.

Shryth and Ohrik can't drive because Shryth never gets tall enough to reach the pedals and Ohrik likes the feeling of being chauffeured (nobody realizes he can't drive until he's 20-something).

Narak is also a 6, but if you were to ask him, he'd give himself a 3.

Lutem is a 10, and she uses offensive driving techniques almost exclusively. She was in many accidents as a teenager, but she hasn't so much as knocked over a trash can since she was 19. Anybody who rides with her is safe as can be, but the way she drives makes them extremely anxious.
