#board game au

[cheddertm]

I like totally forgot I made this thing and decided well fuck it, let's revamp it! I decided to change a few things about the initial version I had thought up so hopefully this is better :]!!

So, the gang is still board games in the Bennett household, and all the games are stacked in the living room closet. Fridays, this can happen from every Friday to only one Friday a month, the board games have their Game Night! Game Night is when all the board games hang out with one another! This ranges from two checker pieces talking on the closet shelf to pieces from Sorry! playing Monopoly after a round of Jenga.

When a piece travels to another game, they're instantly dropped into that world! From boards like Clue or Monopoly, the place becomes a mansion or city the pieces can walk through!

Each board game has a personification of themselves in the game. The personification can come from a playable piece to a card. That piece is quoted as the "heart" of the game. Once that piece is destroyed or lost, the personification and the fun disappears.

The personification's personalities help shape the game greatly. This is why two people who have played the same game, might play it differently. These personifications have their own special ways they like people playing their game! Reading the rules will show the human how to "properly" play it, but the more the game is played, the more its personality is shined through the gameplay.

Facts about the Big Four + art :D

Rapunzel (Candyland):

The Candy QueenTM, but even as royalty, the blonde is a giant dork and quite down to earth. When people meet her, they’re usually surprised she’s the queen of the entire kingdom when she’s not as stiff as one imagines.

She's the second oldest game in the closet. She and Hiccup have a deep bond that no one understands as the two had to deal with a lot before the others came. While everyone sees Rapunzel as this effortlessly cherry and bubbly character, Hiccup has seen her through her roughest days. The blonde was never the first queen of Candyland even if everyone else thinks she is, and plans to keep it that way.

For fun, Rapunzel handmade each of her citizen's outfits. She says it’s a stress reliever and a small gift to her loyal citizens. However, the queen is usually never wearing shoes! She’s tried them before but has sworn off them. Rapunzel claims they’re too restrictive and she wants to live a free life!

Since her game is hardly as stressful as the others, Rapunzel doesn’t have to worry about too many guests coming in and out of her kingdom! This lets the blonde hang out with her friends during Game Night worry-free. Until the after party that is…

Her best friend is Merida! The two had a rocky start, but Rapunzel's nice and caring attitude crumbled Merida's walls. Thanks to this, Merida is usually the guinea pig of Rapunzel's newest dessert recipes and outfits.

After game nights, the blonde invites everyone to her game to have a grand feast! Even though the food mostly ranges from hard candies to soft ice cream, everyone adores Rapunzel's food

Merdia (Exploding Kittens):

Merida was the newest board game to come to the house. It was a rocky first start as half the games avoided the redhead. After she met Rapunzel, Jack, and Hiccup, everything went much smoother for her. She's a lot softer with the three than anyone else, even though they don't see it themselves.

The redhead is the most competitive person in the closet. She turns almost anything into a game to be won, even though there’s rarely a prize attached to it. Each competition gets her blood pumping, stating that even if they’re stupid games, she’ll make sure to make it the most fun she’ll ever have! Believe it!

She probably has the strangest appearance out of the lot, with cat ears and tail to match. Jack asked once if she had whiskers, and he immediately got decked for it. Though Merida isn’t ashamed of how she looks, she takes great pride in the fact, the redhead hates embarrassing questions asked by a white boy

Because of her explosive game, Merida is usually seen with all sorts of injuries. This can range from burnt hair and a tiny scar to a broken leg! While the redhead knows how to care for herself as she’s proficient in treating burnt scars, no one is surprised when they see Merida as the newest patient at Operation. Thankfully, whenever her injuries are serious, one or all of Merida’s friends are with her!!!

No one knows, but Merida wasn't a store-bought game. The Bennetts found her game during a yard sale in almost perfect condition. While this is not a new phenomenon, the redhead didn't want to be treated differently, so, kept it to herself. Yard sale games are usually found with missing pieces, ripped or damaged cards, and their box is torn, meaning others tread lightly around them, as they don't have a long stay before getting thrown in the trash or sold again.

Hiccup (Chess):

Hiccup is the oldest game out of the bunch. While Rapunzel is a close second, the brunette is technically the first to be placed in the closet. Hiccup jokes about this as he’s the king piece of his own game, so it’s as if he’s the ruler of his own game and the others. Though with the brunette's more awkward attitude, no one takes him too seriously.

Like his best friend Jack, his appearance changes. This only happens when he’s in a game, however. Depending on his side, Hiccup will change from the white to the black king through a coin toss. On Game Nights, Hiccup’s outfit combines both sides, though the brunette is often never seen wearing his crown.

To most people’s surprise, Hiccup is the person who’s playing his game the LEAST. The king explained that since his game is only two players, he misses opportunities to play with all his friends. Thankfully, recently Hiccup figured out he could make multiple people play his games by switching out pieces for his friends. The brunette has been playing his game much more after that discovery

Once Sophie accidentally dropped the king piece, breaking the cross. Thankfully, the family instantly prepared him with some hot glue, Hiccup lost his leg that day. On the next Game Night, Rapunzel surprised him with a peppermint replacement! He still tries to make it up to her.

Jack (UNO):

Jack Frost is known as the most social, and annoying, game of the lot. Everyone knows his name and his game. It’s hard not to when he’s the most popular game in the closet. The white-haired guy soaked in all the attention, but his favorite days are when it’s just him and his best friends.

Like his colorful game, the man can change his appearance on a whim. Each Game Night the man is wearing a different outfit or rocking out a different hair color. Though this is limited to his eyes and hair, Jack takes this and runs with it. Though, his favorite colors are his white hair and blue eyes.

His best friend is Hiccup. One glance at the two would clearly show that they’re polar opposites! There was no way they were friends, let alone could be in the same game together! Yet most failed to realize how unhinged the chess king was, and the two got along well—besides the exceptions of chaos.

Even though Jack was already competitive, a certain redhead made Game Night for him. He wasn’t sure how, maybe it was her passion or stupid competition she makes, but Jack always competed right beside her. The two of them now have a tally of how many competitions each has won. Jack barely remembers what life was like before Merida, and he plans to keep it that way

personifications and their pieces in the game :D!!

Anyways thats all for now, tell me if you think its neat or want more :]!!!

thought i had chapter 5 for board game au finished then had an epiphany at 2 am so now i gotta figure out where the chapter breaks are gonna go and had to rewrite the back half aslkdjflaks

I think everyone but Jimmy would believe in Aliens to an extent and have a weird story about something that happened while in space that they link back or like a UFO or alien.

Curly talks about blips on the radar that move to fast or irrationally to be regular space debris. Too uniform or too fluidly, they disappear too fast too. Anya talks about weird flickering and medbay or like odd flashes on the day screen that are too direct and specific to be simple glitches. Swansea talks about random mechanics on the ship giving out in odd ways, he’s been working for years and things don’t work like that, maybe even a gear or sprocket found after landing he swears is to foreign to be manmade but P.E always confiscates it. Daisuke always wanted to believe and takes the experiences of his very serious superiors, especially Swansea, as proof and wonders if the Tulpar is like a magnet for extraterrestrial happenings.

Jimmy thinks it’s stupid because why would aliens waste time doing all those little things and not just like abduct them? His ass obviously sees one and no one believes him cause they think they just being a jerk and messing with them, even Curly.

The call came in just as he was sticking more photos to his board. He was so close to cracking this case, he just needed a little more evidence. Maybe find a source willing to talk to him. Either willingly or unwittingly, at this point he didn’t even care. He wouldn’t reveal his sources anyway, and if he could just figure out where to find something damning…

“Boldheart,” he said into the phone, attention still mostly on the board. Maybe it needed some string. Or at the very least some of those flames Nimona had drawn and cut out for him to add.

“Mister Boldheart, this is Principal Conroy from Gloreth Elementary School.”

Oh no.

He didn’t quite manage to keep in his sigh.

“What happened this time?” he asked. He refused to say ‘what did she do now’, if only because Nimona usually had a reason for whatever chaos she wrought. Like trying to free the pet gerbil from ‘his stinky, tiny prison’ or punching a kid who made fun of her because ‘you couldn’t even get two normal foster parents, you ended up with two foster dads’.

Of course the school hadn’t done anything about the other kid. He was a legacy at the private school, and he’d ‘just been stating facts, after all’.

“It appears Nimona bit another child.”

Well, that was new.

“What did the other kid do?” he asked, knowing he wouldn’t get a straight answer until he talked to Nimona.

“Mister Boldheart, this school has a zero tolerance policy,” the principal started, and he pulled the phone away from his ear, mouthing along the words mockingly has he got his keys.

Part-way through her little rant, he cut her off. “I’m on my way,” he said, hanging up the phone before she could answer.

Nimona was sitting in what Ballister was coming to think of as ‘her’ chair. The one furthest away from the principal’s door. Her face was like thunder, arms crossed in front of her defensively. But it eased a little when she saw who was picking her up.

As much as he and Ambrosius tried the old Good Cop, Bad Cop routine, Nimona had very quickly learned they were both complete pushovers. And that while Ballister could be stern when it mattered, he wasn’t about to punish her for no reason. He’d always hear her out, and he’d always explain why a rule was a rule and why it shouldn’t be broken. (Or when it could be, under certain circumstances.)

Also, he was fifty per cent more likely than Ambrosius to take her out for ice-cream when she got suspended for no reason, again.

“What happened?” he asked, crouching down in front of them.

“Chad wouldn’t stop trying to poke me,” Nimona said. “I told him to keep his hands to himself or I’d bite him. It’s not my fault he didn’t believe me.”

“I never touched her!” Chad shouted from the other side of the hall. His hand was bandaged rather dramatically all the way down to his elbow. “I even said ‘I’m not touching you!’”

Ah. Ballister knew that game all too well from his own time at Gloreth Elementary. Being the scholarship kid had made him an easy target.  

“Come on,” he said, putting his hand on Nimona’s shoulder. “Let’s go.”

“Don’t you need to talk to the Principal first?” they asked.

He did, but he really didn’t want to. Instead, he looked at the ancient secretary, who’d always had a bit of a soft spot for him when he went to this school. “How long is she suspended?”

“Just the rest of the week,” the secretary answered. It was Wednesday, so not too bad. “The Principal wants to have a serious talk with you, though.”

Ballister knew exactly what talk she wanted to have. It was the same one she’d had when they enrolled Nimona, suggesting that Gloreth Elementary had a rather rigorous curriculum, and perhaps ‘someone like Nimona’ would be better suited for a ‘less demanding environment’.

Another thing he remembered all too well from his own time at this private school.

Never mind that Nimona’s grades were at the top ten per cent of her class. Well, when she remembered to hand in her homework. And it was legible between the drawings of sharks and dragons and who knew what else. But still, it wasn’t the curriculum that was bothering her.

“I’ll send Ambrosius by tomorrow morning, after his shift,” Ballister said. Because suddenly, when The Golden Boy Legacy Kid himself stopped by it was much harder to say no, or that their kid didn’t belong here.

They walked out of the school, Nimona’s fuzzy pink book bag hanging from his good shoulder, her hand clutching the wrist of his prosthetic arm. They were already too far down the hall to hear the Principal call them back, and Ballister knew she was too dignified to run after them.

“Look, I get it,” he said once they were outside, because he really, really did. “But you can’t go around biting people.”

“Why not? He deserved it,” Nimona said, sulkily kicking at a pebble.

“Because you don’t know where his hand’s been, it’s gross.” Okay, maybe that wasn’t the best argument for not biting people, but it was one that was probably most effective for this particular kid. He and Ambrosius could sit her down and explain why biting people was morally wrong some other time.

Nimona was silent for a moment, before sticking out their tongue and running her own hands over it. “Blergh, you’re right!”

See? Effective parenting.

“How do you feel about milkshakes and a stake out?” he asked.

“A stake out?” The hunched shoulders and frown disappeared, replaced by a bounce and a bright, sharp smile. “Who’re we taking down?”

“Nobody just yet,” he said. “But I could use a sidekick following one of VerdAgra’s employees.”

“Yes, boss!” Nimona cheered, all but throwing herself into the passenger’s seat. “Can I have a chocolate-peanut butter-caramel milkshake?”

“Sure thing,” he said, even though that sounded like a lot. Nimona beamed and rummaged in the dashboard console to find their Stake Out Sunglasses, handing him his own. Because you couldn’t do a stake out without them, of course.

Tonight, he’d have a talk with Ambrosius about how maybe Gloreth Elementary and Gloreth Prep weren’t the best place for Nimona. Not because she couldn’t handle the curriculum, but because the school had no interest in stopping the bullying of anyone they deemed lesser. He didn’t want her to suffer the way he had. Sure, he’d gotten into a great university at the end, but had it really been worth it?

Maybe homeschooling was an option. Or another school. Anywhere that didn’t try to crush his kid’s amazing spirit, natural curiosity, and sense of self.

“Can I tase him if he tries to run?”

“No!”

[thatisntverycombefair]

me and my friends are having a game night tonight

that got me thinking Les Amis game night

courf always suggests spin the bottle

enjolras *hates* that he's good at monopoly

bahorel and eponine are the people who have flipped the monopoly board the most

gavroche is nearly always banker and gets incredibly into the roll (jehan has many top hats and you beassured they are used for monopoly)

when playing charades or pictionary the triviumate can not team up (they can read eachothers minds)

this also means that jbm can not team up either for the same reason

and Marius and combeferre can't team up or there will be a murder and ferre is not the one who will be dying this time

the board game operation terrifies joly they've all agreed not to play it

cosette likes cluedo a little too much to the point it kinda scares people

combeferre is shit at trivial pursuit unless it's about something of his interest Vs grantaire is incredible at it

feuilly mainly attends the games night for the food and the 'good' vibes and the company poor man needs a break

twister is chaos and bossuet broke his arm and managed to break enjolras nose (again)

[teatitty]

It's always "childhood friends because Atem moved to Japan as a kid" and never "childhood friends because Yugi went to a dig in Egypt with his grandpa and met Atem in the streets of Cairo." Give me Atem and Yugi penpal friendship because Sugoroku knows Atem's family from his archeologist circles. Give me Yugi being interested in mythology because he's a goth nerd and we all were and Atem trying to impress him with stories about the gods but he keeps getting shit wrong because he just never payed much attention to it before

Give me Atem teaching Yugi how to play some of the local games and Yugi thinking he's the coolest person ever. Give me Yugi being friends with Mana and Mahaad because of Atem and all of them going on little adventures together. Ya know

Are you, are you, comin' to the tree? Where they strung up a man, they say, who murdered three. Strange things did happen here, no stranger would it be, if we met at midnight in the hanging tree…

Are you, are you, comin' to the tree? Where the dead man called out for his love to flee. Strange things did happen here, no stranger would it be, if we met at midnight in the hanging tree…

(Thank you to @sidraofthewildflowers for plaguing me with this idea. The movie was bomb we need to see it again!)
