Hey, I'm telling you the terms of my service. You can take it or leave it.

[Action]

[endgames]

[Sigh, like he's giving in.] All right. If you really don't think you can beat me by your own merit...

[Action]

[tsuntrader]

I'll take all the resources I can get. No shame in that.

[Action]

[endgames]

[Smirk.] Fair enough.

[He doesn't really care about winning, he just enjoys the high of the game.]

[Action]

[tsuntrader]

[He wouldn't be heartbroken if he lost, but he's certainly over-invested in the game. Continuing to play it for six hours would tell that much.]

It's a game about making money. It's not about the methods or skill involved.

[...] But I guess I can cut you some slack. Five percent. [The percentage Silver was aiming before to begin with.]

[Action]

[endgames]

It's a different type of skill.

[But thanks. Fistbump?]

[Action]

[tsuntrader]

[Fistbump.

...But let's be honest.] One that looks like it could start fights.

[Action]

[endgames]

Tch. What can't.

[Action]

[tsuntrader]

...Fair enough.

[Action]

[endgames]

[Everything starts a fight.

Shikamaru smirks and rolls the dice and takes his turn, pushing his shoe piece over to Pacific Avenue. Safe bet. The greens are the only ones he owns all of.]

[Action]

[tsuntrader]

[Silver's turn... Lands him right next to jail. Connecticut Avenue. What a pleasant place to land.

Or live in.

Eugh.

...But wait...]

You alright? [He knows smirks like that. Those smiles come with a very large chance of not being okay.]

[Action]

[endgames]

I am sitting in a hospital bed.

[Action]

[tsuntrader]

...That's not what I meant and you know it.

[Action]

[endgames]

Aa... I do.

[Action]

[tsuntrader]

Should I ask again, then? [Are you willing to answer?]

[Action]

[endgames]

[...

He rests his cheek in one hand.]

I'll work it out.

[Action]

[tsuntrader]

Alone. While in the hospital and injured all over the place.

[Without a good reason this time.

He's just clarifying, of course. He doesn't expect Shikamaru to confide in him. but... He'll confide in Masaomi or something, right? That confirmation would be comforting.]

[Action]

[endgames]

Not that kind of problem.

[Quite the opposite - fixing this he has to mend bridges (he didn't even see burn until he looked twice).

He made the mess alone, though. That means he needs to be the one to make the first move.]

[Action]

[tsuntrader]

[...He's not quite following, so he stares at Shikamaru, waiting for him to continue. Throw him a bone here.]

[Action]

[endgames]

...I made my bed and now I must lie in it. That sort of thing.

[Action]

[tsuntrader]

[...Nope, the analogy went right over his head. He tilts his head a little.]

[Action] 1/2

[endgames]

[...this is how Masaomi must feel on a daily basis. No wonder his life is suffering.]

[Action]

[endgames]

I am paying the consequences for my actions. Better?

[Action]

[tsuntrader]

[...] Did you do something else I don't know about? [Or is he getting trouble for...]

[Action]

[endgames]

I sure as hell hope not.
