Six (lack of) Sleep note. Game night. Audio as always sn@pnwsalex
[Hey look, it's yet another post that does not happen at three in the morning. It seems that Alex is actually sleeping for the most part. It's kind of amazing. And she's also sounding extremely chipper, even if there is the faintest of whispers of 'Richard' from somewhere behind her. Look, she locked the thing in the drawer of her desk and it still keeps saying the name of the person she has a crush on. It's all Jeff's fault. But she's not going to mention it at all. Nope, it's not even happening. Instead, she's focused on something else.]
So I was talking with a friend recently, or at least recently-ish anyway about games. Like board games and things like that. Did you know that dice and games were used before recorded history on Earth? And that dice were found in tombs in Iran that date back to 2800–2500 BCE? So honestly, playing games is like something that really seems universal and kind of timeless as well.
Which brings me to my next question, and trust me I really do have a point. What sort of games did you play at home? Do you have copies here? What sort of games do you want to see if you have copies of?
I'm putting together a game night, either renting out a cafe, or if need be the school, and I'd like to include something from everywhere if possible. Board games, dice games, card games, it's all going to be welcome here. If nothing else, it'll be a nice distraction from everything else. [Everything else here meaning all of the love festival stuff that's going down.] And the goal is to play five games you've never played before, so come on down.
I'm not even limiting games like Monopoly or Uno or whatever. [Even though she probably should just based on her experience. She's also definitely not bringing Mario Kart. Alex does have some sense of fair play and wanting to keep friendships in tact. For now anyway.]
Also hi if you don't know who I am. I'm Alex. Alex Reagan. Welcome.

But maybe we can make it like a weekly thing. The game night.
no subject
And having extra dice, just in case any roll [she yawns] away.
no subject
So a couple of Monopoly games, a couple of Clue, some Risk.
[A beat, and there's an audible smile in her voice.]
And maybe bedtimes for some Lucys?
no subject
Clue would be fun--a lot of fun, especially if people acted out their parts.
[It takes her a moment to wonder if that's an actual game or if Alex was teasing her.]
I'll be fine...it's not too late. I wanted water..and got it. [And used her phone as a flash light to get around and saw Alex's post so....really, she couldn't help herself.]
no subject
I see. Still, it's late.
no subject
....it's early for someone else. [Trying and failing to make the argument that it's late now, BUT somewhere else it's early.]
no subject
[Attack Uno was always a thing, and Alex knew how to get Nic to lose his mind. One time she made him pick up sixty-four cards and he almost tipped over the table.]
Yeah, but it's too early for you, kiddo.
no subject
[Slurred a little from being sleepy. Stubborn Lucy is stubborn.]
It's fine.
no subject
Now you sound like me.
no subject
[Someone really needs to put her butt back to bed.]
no subject
[Look, someone's got to sleep for the woman who doesn't, tiny child.]
Good night, Lucy. I don't want your dads to get mad at me so they won't let you come, right?
[Bribery. Alex Reagan is so not above bribery.]
