It's 3 AM

Who: Siebren, Senku, and Lan Sizhui
Where: Games car
When: Imagination 6
What: The first meeting of the insomnia club.
Warnings: None so far.

It has been a long day, and unfortunately it has also been a long night - one in which Siebren cannot fall asleep no matter how hard he tries. Experience has taught him that tossing and turning is an exercise in futility on nights like this, so he exits his room as silently as he can manage and instead walks the train. He has no destination in mind, and eventually winds up in the games car, searching for a deck of cards. Perhaps a few rounds of solitaire will set his mind at ease enough for him to sleep, or perhaps he will simply amuse himself until the train's nightly mandatory lights out session rolls around. Either way, it is better than lying awake in the dark.

"Don't know what you mean." Senku smirked. "I'm learning the nuances of the game, don't mind me." He waved his hand slightly.

Hm, he got kicked back home, that was a pain but clearly Siebren knew more what he was doing. What he was actually doing was studying his strategic moves.

"Just planning on a way to kick your ass next time."

“Thank you for inviting me.” Since, just because he's losing, doesn't mean he's sore and has forgotten his manners.

There's a ‘ladies, ladies, you're both pretty’ joke to be made here, but it's truly a shame Sizhui has no idea about that sort of thing. Instead, he manages muffling another giggle, regardless of the likely high probability of losing his last two pieces in the next few turns. He has to cup the hand tighter around his face to keep from commenting about next time himself, seeing as he has no idea what might happen, though it's funny to imagine Senku returning with a vengeance and beating them both.

"I know." Senku smirked. "But that doesn't mean there's no strategy!"

He was watching though, trying to come up with one anyway. "Don't worry, I'll crack it. Even with dice, statistically there has to be a better way to do this to tip the scales in my favour!"

It might be amusing to see if he could come up with something like that.

He hums an affirming noise at Siebren's invitation, gives the faintest nod then momentarily directs his attention toward Senku with a glance of appraisal. Strategic or not, Sizhui's almost certain there's no coming back for him, but he does wonder what Senku might try and throw together.

Do statistics have anything to do with Parcheesi, either? Ah well, it'll be fun to watch and measure the outcome regardless, especially if Senku does somehow manage getting a leg-up.
