Nimona sighed. "I'm bored."
Both Ambrosius and Ballister looked over at her. "You're... the one who picked this movie?" Ballister said.
Nimona shrugged. "It's not as good as I remember it being. You wanna play Monopoly?"
"Sure!" Ambrosius quickly responded. That's right, Ballister had told Nimona that Ambrosius loved Monopoly. Weird for the type of person the board game was designed to critique, but okay.
Nimona pointed two finger guns at Ambrosius. "You down for house rules?"
"Sure! What are-"
"As long as you promise not to burn the board again," Ballister interjected. Ambrosius’s eyes went wide.
“What?!” Nimona shouted. “That was part of the revolution!”
“No, it wasn’t,” Ballister said. “Besides, if I can’t do it, you’re not allowed to, either.”
“Fine,” Nimona huffed. She supposed that was fair, though she wasn’t happy about it.
“And no destroying the pieces. I don’t want to buy a whole new board for new pieces.”
“Ugh, alright.” She could just make more, but whatever. “Are revolutions still fine?”
Ballister nodded. “Revolutions are fine, multiple pieces are fine, joint ownership is fine, interference of transactions are fine…” he kept counting on his fingers as he listed the rules, and when Nimona looked over, she noticed Ambrosius looking more and more bewildered as Ballister kept going.
“Uh,” Ambrosius started, “I think I’ll watch you two play a round first.”
Nimona smirked. “Come on, it’s more fun to learn as you go!”
Ballister chuckled. “For who?”
Nimona just grinned even wider.
