So, if you're reading this, you know that I've decided not to make this a one shot, so, enjoy the story.
Monopoly
Welcome back to Fowl Manor. Are you ready to enjoy another fun game with Holly and Artemis? I am. Let's see what they are playing today, shall we.
Artemis and Holly are sitting at a table with the game Monopoly sitting between them. So far Artemis is winning, and not by a little bit either. Right now it's Holly's time to roll.
"Alright," she says, "Let's hope I roll matchers to get out of jail."
With that she shakes her hands and lets go of the dice. Watching intently. She grins with delight as she rolls a two, a three… and another two.
"Yah!" she cries. "I get out of jail! I rolled matchers!"
"First of Holly," starts Artemis, "they're called doubles, and why are there three dye."
"I pulled one out of my pocket," Holly says, moving her top hat down the board.
"You can't do that Holly," Artemis says.
"Why not Artemis," Holly asks.
"Well think of it this way," replies Artemis, "If you're cornered in a dark alley by a stranger, you can't just pull a gun out of you're pocket and fight him off."
"You can if it's small enough," Holly answers right back.
"Well how about this then, you can't just call in more troops in the middle of a battle," Artemis reasons.
"You can if you have a radio," Holly replies.
"Well… uh… how about this. What's the worst scenario you can think of?" Artemis askes.
"The worst case scenario I can think of is being chained up to the wall by Opal with all of my weapons taken away," Holly replies, almost without thinking.
"And you aren't able to free yourself and get all you're weapons back just by wishing for them, are you?" Artemis inquires.
"Of course not, Artemis," Holly answers.
"Then why would this be any different?" asks Artemis. "This is a game of strategy, Holly. You have to think about what you do, Holly."
"Well I don't feel like it right now," says Holly. "Before I came here I visited Mulch, and he decided a nice welcoming present would be to let his natural gases go right as I got there. He says it's a dwarf custom, but I'll never get that smell out of my nose."
And with that, she rolls the dice.
And this has been an afternoon at fowl manor.
Like it! Hate it! I just want reviews, please! Oh, and I take requests on the games they play, although it won't always be Holly and Artemis.
