Maguro's Magnificent Gems
Maguro invited me, Sig, and Ringo over to his place. I dunno why. Whatever.
Sig and I enter Maguro's house. Ringo was already there.
"Hey Amitie. Hey Sig." Maguro greeted us. "Glad you could make it."
"Yep." Sig replied.
Sig noticed something and ran off.
"So what's new?" I ask.
"Nothing much." Maguro replied. "My family started selling trout."
"Wait, is there trout in Japan?" Ringo asked.
"No. We get it imported from the States." Maguro replied.
Sig walked back into the living room. He was hold a blue gemstone.
"What's this?" Sig asked us.
"That looks like a sapphire." Ringo noted. "Where did you find it?"
"On the floor." Sig replied.
"Where?"
"Uhhh."
There was a pause.
"I forgot."
"Already?" I asked.
All of the sudden everything went black. When the lights came on, we were all on some stage. It looked like a gameshow. I look around. It's probably an American game show. Thankfully. Generally, Japanese game shows involve people getting beat up. It looked like we were in front of a live audience. Maguro was at a separate table. Ringo, Sig and I were at a different one.
When Maguro noticed the audience, he started to panic.
"Uhh. Hello everyone." He greeted the audience nervously. "I'm Maguro."
The audience cheered.
Sig picked up a sign that was in front of him. It read "シグ" (That's his name in Katakana.)
Ringo and I had signs too. It had our names in Katakana.
There was a big wheel. We had controllers in front of us.
Sig also examined his controller.
"And today we'll be playing…"
There was a pause.
"Maguro's Magnificent….uh….Gems. I dunno." He said.
The audience cheered.
"Our contestants are Ringo…"
Ringo waved.
"...Sig…"
Sig waved.
"...and Amitie."
I waved at the audience.
"To play this you…."
Maguro stammered a lot, but he came to some solid rules.
Maguro would draw from his stack of cards. The cards had a letter on them. While the wheel was spinning, we had to select a gemstone's name that started with said letter. We would select it with our controllers. There were also some words that weren't gems. If we selected a wrong name, said person would be out, and the others would select again. First one to select a correct name would get a point. The person to get to 5 points first wins.
"The prize for winning is a….uh…..a turkey sandwich." Maguro stammered.
A big, turkey sandwich appeared right next to his stack of cards.
The audience cheered.
Sig tilted his head in confusion. Ringo and I looked at eachother.
"Umm…..let the games begin!" Maguro exclaimed nervously.
The audience cheered.
The first card read "O".
"It's an O." Maguro stated.
The audience cheered.
First thing that comes to my mind is an opal.
The wheel starts to spin.
Ringo selected a correct answer first. Apparently, we had score counters too. Ringo's now read "1".
Long story short, Sig somehow won. We then found ourselves back at Maguro's place.
Sig seemed to eat his sandwich proudly. Or he was very hungry.
