7th Case [dictated]

[not_nikkiheat]

I know we've all had a rough time of it lately, and I was hoping to get something planned to bring everyone together, where we can be support each other and maybe lighten the mood a little?

I don't mind planning it, but I wanted to get some ideas from you. Is there any event in particular you'd like to see?

[He's not aware of the rough time alluded to, but Aziraphale can certainly say he's on board with anything that brings support and happiness to people.]

There's nothing quite like a rousing game of Scrabble to bring people together, my dear.

[not_nikkiheat]

That's true, but while I do love Scrabble, I was thinking of something with more than four players, to include as many people as possible. I'd be up for a game sometime if you're like, though.

[footnote]

We could certainly have more than one board, or perhaps even incorporate other board games into the mix.

[This was bordering on the too adventurous for Aziraphale. Mixing Scrabble and Monopoly was stampeding towards the heady heights of madness, but, as the kids today were inexplicably saying, YOLO¹.]

1. Aziraphale thought this was a new type of Rolo. He wasn't quite sure why people were naming a confectionary item after risky suggestions, but when in Rome...

omg Rolo = Yolo = hilarious

[not_nikkiheat]

That's an idea. We could even make it a regular event, like once a month or so.

[assassino]

Everything is more fun with drinking, you know.

[not_nikkiheat]

Drinks can be an option, sure. Can you think of any activities to do while we're drinking?

[assassino]

That "I've Never" game was popular.

[not_nikkiheat]

That was fun, but the kids can't really participate in that.

[ Just gonna directly contradict the guy above him, sob, SORRY BRO. ]

Something for the kids might not be a bad idea.

[not_nikkiheat]

We do have a lot of kids here lately, and I want it to be as inclusive as possible. Any specific requests?

[rightchoices]

Nothing in particular. Just wanted to say I think this is a pretty good idea.

[not_nikkiheat]

Do you like kids?

[papillo]

A drinking party!

[not_nikkiheat]

We have kids here too, though. I'm not saying no to drinking, but I'd like for there to be something for the kids to do as well.

[papillo]

[ Kids should drink too! ]

Candy and drinking party.

[not_nikkiheat]

Um, okay. I'll take that into consideration, I guess.

[whistles_the_blues]

[Every party needs a pooper that's why they invited Blues.]

I'll pass. Odds are half the people who show up will be sent back to their own worlds shortly after.

[not_nikkiheat]

Well, that's one way of looking at it. Don't get too attached, do you?

[whistles_the_blues]

I try to avoid it. I find it's for the best here, or anywhere else.

[pint_sized_carnivore]

Great idea, sensei!

We had a pool party last time Barney-san was here. Maybe something different?

[not_nikkiheat]

I was thinking maybe a beach party? With swimming and volleyball and frisbee and a cookout?

[pint_sized_carnivore]

I'm up for that! We could bring watermelons to break too!

[putuporshutup]

I'm in. Weird as this probably sounds coming from the neighborhood demon bartender, we should do something even the kids can enjoy, too, don't you think? Maybe something with games?

[not_nikkiheat]

Great idea, exactly what I was thinking. Maybe a beach party, with food and some games?

Re: Dictated

[putuporshutup]

That's perfect! I have a sneaking suspicion that somehow, just as many of the grown-ups are going to want to play games.
