[ I actually had to look up Go Fish because it's been so long I'd forgotten how to play, and here I am learning that WikiHow (which I clicked because I thought it'd be funny) thinks Go Fish is a game where you have to get ALL FOUR SUITS OF A NUMBER TO DISCARD??? Go Fish extreme.I assume this is the typical simplified 2-card version. ]
Alright! Give me the blood!
[ She's got her cards in her hand. C'mon, let's go! ]
[No, Spike plays the XTREME version where you have to get every single iteration of the card in whatever building you're in. Yeah, they're playing the two card version, my brain will break.]
[ Spike's valid in his own world. Also I'm laughing so hard I went back to reread thread to see what cards we haven't named yet and realised Power asked for a five and Spike IMMEDIATELY asked for fives back the next tag. Our leaky sieve brains but also that's so funny.
Power slaps down her pair of nines, looking at her own dwindling hand. Tch! ]
I like TV! 'Tis a good source of easy entertainment when I'm bored.
[ Flicking an eight over to him. Hmm, ummm... oh. The only number card left they hadn't asked each other for. ]

So just having higher cards wins?
[ What does she know? Approximately nothing, that's what. ]

I'm not gonna lie I'm a bit confused by this simplified version of poker we've made. How about I teach you Go Fish instead?
no subject
[ She has NO idea if that's the case or not. She just wants the prize. ]
no subject
no subject
...Okay, how do you play Goldfish? [ Wrong. ]
no subject
[And he explains Go Fish. Here's hoping Power (and me) can keep track of this extremely basic game.]
Think you got it?
no subject
Alright! Give me the blood!
[ She's got her cards in her hand. C'mon, let's go! ]
no subject
Beat me first, devil brat.
Got any fours?
no subject
Power hands over a four, though. ]
I want your sixes. Give me all of them.
no subject
Drive a hard bargain, brat. [He hands a six over. Hmm.]
Got any sevens?
no subject
[ She looks at her cards and looks proud. ]
I don't have any. Give me your twos!
no subject
Out of luck. Go Fish is what you're meant to say but who cares.
Got any queens?
no subject
. . . Nope! No queens! [ None whatsoever. ]
no subject
Cough 'em up.
no subject
[ She slides forward a queen. If only because she wants the prize more than she's actually willing to risk Spike withholding it for once. ]
Aces!
no subject
[He tosses her a Queen.]
Hmmm, got any tens?
no subject
Hmm, she's looking at her hand and then at Spike's. So far so evenly matched, ish... bah!
She flicks a ten at him, pouting. ]
Jacks!
no subject
Twos!
no subject
[ That's because you discarded them Power. ]
no subject
So you did.
Hmmm... got any kings?
no subject
Boo...
[ As she slides forward her king. She's low on the table, looking at her cards, and at Spike. ]
...Five! Is this really fun for you?
no subject
Also, go fish. No fives for you, devil brat.
[He just rocks back on his chair.] Hmmmm, got any fives?
no subject
...
[ She hands over her five... 8ball has been saying Spike gets almost every card. ]
Umm... nine.
no subject
[He won't get into the way he attributes violence and fighting with sex but just know it's there.]
Eights?
no subject
Power slaps down her pair of nines, looking at her own dwindling hand. Tch! ]

Three!
