Or Van Shows You His Tricks’ and Yin Goes Missing In the Park While Riku Is At A Really Long Ice Cream Line. Seriously, did he die? Who cares, that guy sucks.

Where: The Oh So Convenient Park Near You!

When: July 20

 

[Some notes:

1. Van is in complete control of who wins/loses the games. But generally if your character looks rich, they’re likely going to lose because Van will cheat. For modest-looking characters, they may win/lose based on a coin flip on random.com.

2. Games will range from simple card games and trick like pick a card, blackjack and gin to finding a ball under a cup or just random betting games I find on quirkology if card games don’t keep your characters’ attention.

3. Please PM or drop an OOC note here if any questions or concerns! :D

4. Riku might do random tags. However, will be gone for long periods of time. Probably photographing stuff or getting food/drinks.
 

5. Yin, their 2-3 yr. old female black doberman, is very friendly and playful, but gentle and neat, for a dog. She’ll be played by either me or Myth, if around. ]

 

It’s a beautiful day at the park, sun shining, wind balmy, and one spiky-haired teenager in a hoodie setting up camp on a park bench. There’s a small folding table open before him and a variety of cards, cups, and other weird stuff neatly stacked beside him. There’s a crowd already, it looks like, and business is brisk. That is, of course, when his eye lands on you. “Hey, you. Care to try your luck? You can win big like this guy here just did.” He pointed to a man that’s walking away with some winnings. “Come on now, I’ll even let you pick the game!”

 

While you’re being fleeced, though, there’s a black doberman barking and playing with a few people, including a small child that’s doing her very best to ride her. Gentle and friendly as she is, you’d never guess she belonged to the boy on the bench and one other who appears to be missing from the scene. 

 

The dog doesn’t seem to mind the attention, in fact she quite likes it if her wagging tail is any evidence. Some people offer her treats, but she’ll either bow her head and drink from her water dish or look at her master when they do to see if he gives the okay.

"Suit yourself." He popped a little roll of omelette into his mouth and was surprised to find it was actually pretty good. Cold, but still good. "Not bad," he notes with some surprise. "I didn't think you knew how to cook."

[ex_elude798]

"Learned out of necessity," Suzaku shrugged lightly again. He'd found most "Japanese" food in the States was just a pale imitation, the further he got from the Pacific. Considering his tastes, there really weren't many options.

[darkremnant]

"Sweet eggs are never a necessity. Have you even tried western food?" Van raised a brow wondering how high this guy would turn up his nose if he put a cheese burger or a pizza in front of him.

"I know where they have some great pie. You can't be so racist you'd say no to pie. That's not sexy, Cat lady. You'll never get chicks with a pie hating attitude." Racism doesn't help either, but right now that's not important.

Riku laughed a bit at that. "I'll eat his share if he doesn't want it."

He had another sausage before packing the bento back up to put on the bench with the rest of Van's things.

"Neccessity? Don't you guys have maids here?"

[ex_elude798]

"No, I don't," is the only answer Suzaku is willing to provide. He hasn't had servants in general since he was ten, but he sees no reason to launch into his life story. "I still have this cat to take care of."

He jerks his thumb in the direction of the little puff of fur on his shoulder. Can't really go into any restaurant with a cat.

[darkremnant]

"So drop it off and meet us at a later date. Have you never made a date before?" This wouldn't surprise Van. A hard stiff like this could easily scare away the fairer sex.

"Come now, you can't turn up your nose to something you haven't even given a chance."

[ex_elude798]

"I don't make social calls," and certainly not with guys who insist on calling him strange epithets. There are more important things to worry about than meeting some guy he can't really stand for pie.

In fact, he seems absurd. "I've had pie before, I don't live under a rock."

[darkremnant]

"Not surprising." Van said to the man's first statement then snorted at the last. "Could've fooled me with the rock like personality of yours." He chuckled and lazily shuffled his cards. "Come now, what do you have to loose? It's a meal out on the town instead of sitting at home on a Friday night cradling your 10 cats and wonder why you don't have a life. The answer? No sense of adventure, Cat Lady."

[depolarized]

"What's the point of wanting to be a pilot if you're not planning on trying new things? Or are you just going to stay in that little shell without knowing what's outside?" Riku shrugged and packed the boxed lunch back up, eating the rest of his corndog instead.

[ex_elude798]

"A meal out with a couple of guys I barely tolerate. Not exactly what I call intrepid." If this was bait, Suzaku wasn't biting. There were plenty of things out there that held much more appeal to him, and he'd seen enough of the world in his mind. Wasting time was always wasting time.

"It's obviously mutual, so why bother?" Not that Suzaku didn't respect Riku more than the average person, for whatever small childhood fun they had, but this other guy was just annoying. And obviously trying to be just that.
