“this is about to be a very long game” Kira says
the round started and the twins mutually agreed that they would cheat if necessary. the rain had started coming down harder, every once and a while there would be a clap of thunder and joan would flinch
“ok thats it” joan said after a while, pushing the tower over
“you two play unfairly”
“hey! we had a mutual agreement!”
“yeah yeah are you actually any better at the damn game?”
“yes, when we were playing against you we were genuinely playing”
“i'm almost certain you were both cheating”
“how do you cheat at jenga?” carci asks smirking
“you know full well how you cheat at jenga” joan says
the twins giggled as joan grumbled. only the twins could find a way to cheat at jenga”
“be glad you weren't playing that new version where the towers on like the platform that shakes every once in awhile with ve” catherine says
“oh yeah cat got that for our birthday and violet rigged it so it wouldn't ever shake on her turn” carci says
“we haven't touched it once since” catherine says
“does no one with you two not cheat at jenga?”
“bro we bet on the events of the summer every summer” catherine says
“seriously we make cheap guesses and expensive mistakes” carci says
“and then we proceed to burn bridges once we get to them” catherine says
“metaphorically or literally?” joan asks
“yes” they says
“...i don't know why i'm surprised at this point” joan sighs
“plus i did spend like 11 years of my life around people who would cheat at everything and anything just cause they wanted a fucking chocolatte chip”
“and you didn't?” catherine asks
“oh no i also wanted a fucking chocolatte chip” carci says
“you know, that explains a lot about you and your entire personality. i will accept that as a viable reason for carci and carci alone”
“i would explain my reason once we aren't surrounded by people” catherine says
“aight yall heard her oloipiso people!” carci says
after second Carci’s face went red. she cleared her throat embarrassed
“everyone fuck off” carci says
“smooth~” joan jokes
“yeah yeah shut up” carci says
“anyway catherine”
“im competitive” catherine says with a shrug
“oi?” Joan asks
“what? were you expecting me to go on about how I went through such a traumatic experience at, like, a daycare or something where it was like a competition for attention from the adults between the kids?” catherine asks
carci scratched the back of her neck awkwardly connecting the dots. she didn't say anything for her sister’s sake.
“i mean i wouldn't be surprised” joan says
“yeah im sure you wouldn't. but, sorry to disappoint but being competitive has always sort of been a thing with yours truly” catherine says
“you know sometimes your worse than me” carci says awkwardly
“shut up” catherine says
“yeah ok” carci says smally
“there was nothing else to it?” joan asks
“nope, it isnt nearly as good as being sacrificed at the ripe old age of almost 10” catherine says
