It's not the worst thing to ever happen to me, and I've bounced back from the worst.

[ so, she won't let this keep her down. it is highly inconvenient, but it really isn't like she was moving very quickly with how her leg was before. what was truly terrible was the pain when it got cut off, but that's not something she's going to give voice to. ]

[Reyna nods slowly. That, she can most certainly understand.]

You're very strong, Stephanie. The rest of us are lucky that you're here.

[vigilantics]

[ she blinks in surprise. ]

Sometimes you just gotta... keep trying your best, even when things don't go well, you know? Actually, especially during those times.

[toughchoices]

Right. It can be hard sometimes [as she knows from experience] but the only way to guarantee failure is to give up. So as long as you keep trying...

[She shrugs.]

Anyway. Is there anything I can get for you while you're recovering?

[vigilantics]

Keep me from dying of boredom?

[ there is a reason she gives up on bed rest after monday and it's because she was too restless. ]

[stephanie please!!]

Sure - I can try. [...everything reyna does for fun involves getting up and moving around, damn. hmm.] I don't know many games that can be played while resting, though. Do you know any?

[vigilantics]

The only things that come to mine are like, board games, but we have a lack of those.

[ she looks like she is ready to embrace death. ]

[toughchoices]

Maybe they'll give us a game room tomorrow. [they can dream...] Let's see... we could play Never Have I Ever? You don't have to get up for that.

[...]

We'd have to do it without the alcohol, though.

[who taught her this game]

[vigilantics]

[ that actually gets a laugh out of her. ]

That raises a lot of questions. But... sure, let's play.

[toughchoices]

Okay, so... I was taught that we pose a hypothetical situation and whoever's never done it has to drink. Is that how they play it where you come from?

[the games might be different.. she doesn't know]

[vigilantics]

Pretty much! So, we're going to have to think of a new punishment task instead.

[toughchoices]

We could make the penalty be that the person who's never done it has to say something embarrassing.

[vigilantics]

Deal.

You can start, since you're my guest.
