I honestly have NO idea what to call this - call it an over-worked and over-tired Stormy playing one too many games in the call center during dead hours...blame my co-workers whom I've addicted to this little habit, and who now challenge me everytime I enter my place of work. *grins*
I must be insane.
Warnings: Complete and utter FLUFF!!
*thwap*
" Bad move, Duo."
" Shut up, Quatre - I know what I'm doing."
" He's going to wear out."
" Naw - he's got GREAT staying power, ne Heero?"
" Baka."
*thwap*
" Wha--HEY! You can't do that!"
" It's dead Duo. Take it back."
" Damn it Heero - take that!"
*thwap*
" Hn. Nice move."
" See Quat? I know what I'm doing."
" Maxwell, you're dying slowly here - retreat. Regroup and send *that* out."
" Why? I'm doing fi--Oh no Yuy, don't you dare."
*thwap*
" I guess he gets to pick up?"
" Shut up Trowa."
*thwap*
" HA! You can't hurt me now! *biiiii-daaaaaah!*"
" Very mature Maxwell."
" Hn. Watch this."
*thwap*
" ACK! Heero!"
" ........"
" Shut up Trowa."
" Just 'cause you're about to go down....and quite painfully, I might add."
" What part of shut up didn't you understand? I'm sending this after your ass Yuy - try and stop me!"
*thwap*
" Hn."
*thwap*
" GODAMMIT!"
" Guess you're stuck, Duo."
" The God of Death is never *stuck*, Quatre. Lemme see here..."
" Don't strain yourself."
" Wufei - you're not helping. If I could just fix my poor wounds..."
" You used up all your little potions and thingies you had lying around."
" Well, I'll use this." *thwap*
" Hn."
" Hah! Take THAT, Perfect Soldier."
*thwap*
" Whaddaya mean? I can't take it back - all I've got is..."
*pause*
" You sadistic bastard. I hate you."
" Sour grapes Maxwell?"
" HE DID THAT ON PURPOSE!!"
" Of course I did, baka - and it worked."
Sniff. " I thought you loved me."
" Not when it's my ass on the line."
" Grrr....just you wait....Quatre pick that up."
" Umm...Duo?"
" No. Oh no. Take it back."
" You have to keep it Duo."
" But--"
" It's in the rules."
" But--"
" And I do believe that means with this last blow, I win!" Heero's eyes gleamed as he dropped four more damage counters onto Duo's three- quarters dead Arcanine, before reaching over to retrieve his final prize pack. " I win."
Duo sat limply in his seat, staring at his loaded bench of pumped-up pokemon and the absolute useless hand he held.
" But I healed them....stuck energy under 'em...."
" And I had all the energy discard and pokemon switch cards. That de- evolution spray hepled too." Heero looked quite pleased with himself. " Better luck next time koi."
" But....I stacked my deck! "
" It's over Duo," Quatre said calmly, trying to release Duo's grip on the now useless cards in his hands. " Heero won."
" And such a nice prize," Wufei added, scooping up a handful of Duo's fire cards, flipping through them randomly. " You won three Arcanines, a holographic Ninetails and a few Flareons, Yuy."
" B-but...my firedeck..."
" Next time you wanna play water against fire, you'd better ask to play basic, and not with weakness and resistance," Trowa lectured. Heero picked up his newly-won cards and walked out of the room, the othres following close behind, leaving Duo to stare at the empty table where his prize Pokemon fire-theme deck had been.
" B-but!"
*OWARI*
*grins* Sorry - playing Pokemon cards at work almost every night for over two weeks straight has gone to my head!
For those of you who didn't know, the Pokemon card game is very similar to Magic: The Gathering. You build a deck to fight against other players, powering your characters (in this case, pokemon) and battling. You can use different cards to heal, switch benched pokemon and active pokemon, evolve, add extra energy, prevent or increase damage, make a character asleep, confused, paralyzed, or poisoned.
The *thwaps* were the sounds of cards hitting the table. At least, I hope that's what it was. *smiles*
