About an hour later, while sitting around Nolan's kitchen table, we heard a faint thump, and a moan shortly after. My head jerked up; I didn't remember there being any other humans, err, Mandacarions, on the ship. But then I remember the guys' attackers and looked back down at my food.
"Our friends must be awake!" Nathan said.
"We should probably stay here and let them calm down. If they've just woken up, they're going to be totes confused and royally pissed." I replied.
Nathan and Nolan exchanged looks.
"Um, 'totes'?" Nolan asked.
"It means totally. It comes from one of my favorite shows." I answered.
He half nodded, and they also agreed that staying another hour wouldn't be such a bad idea.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"So, I'm bored. what are we going to do?" Nathan asked. We'd only been sitting there for a few minutes. But like a four-year-old, Nathan needed constant attention.
"Um, do you want to play cards?" I asked.
"Like what? Crazy eights? Please," Nolan added, "We're not ten."
"Please, yourself. We can play Mau, Blackjack 21, B.S., Poker... I know how to play a lot of stuff," I countered.
"What is this Mau you speak of?" Nathan asked.
"You know Uno?"
"Yeah."
"It's like that, except you don't know the rules. and you get a card for each violation."
"That's so evil!" Nolan exclaimed.
"Yeah, but once you get all the rules, it's pretty fun. And then you get to be the dealer and call out other people," I replied with a wicked grin.
"Well, we don't want to get Nathan too worked up just yet. Let's play Blackjack."
Nathan and I agreed (the former grudgingly), and I dealt out the cards.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The game finally ended with me getting cheated, (but the guys would just say I was over-reacting) and throwing my cards in the air. But what can I say? I'm a ginger. Nathan gathered up the cards and out them back on Nolan's librrary shelf, ad we walked over to the cell room.
OK, here's the deal:
I upload randomly, without much warning. That much is given. So, I created a Twitter account with the same username as this one. I'll post when I upload, am in the process of writing, story plot hints, opportunities for you to name characters, the link to the newest post... all that good stuff. So it would be much appreciated (and beneficial to you, wonderful reader :] ) if you follow me. Oh, and PLEASE continue to vote and comment and all that amazing stuff. It's incredible how much it makes my day when I get on my phone and read how someone has commented on my story. It's almost kind of ridiculous, actually.
Well, now that I've written more here (^) than I have in the actual story and my grammar is quickly going down the tubes, I'm going to say goodnight! :)
