Summer 7 - Game Night

[norrhamn_residents]

[ It's a rainy afternoon on Norrhamn, with a distant thunderstorm rumbling over the gray sea. Typical Swedish summer, if we're honest, but that only means that the residents on this island know exactly how to combat it: with a game night.

The main dining hall has been cosied up for the occasion. There's plenty of blankets to go around and the tables have been laid out with flickering tealights and a variety of board- and card games of varying difficulty. There's Scrabble of course, and games like Settlers of Catan, Clue, Ludo and many others, along with regular decks of playing cards. There may be a few Witchcraft: The Collection around here too...

Alongside the usual offerings of hot food that's served throughout the day, the kitchen staff has set up a table with tea, coffee and hot chocolate, as well as treats like cinnamon buns and cookies, salty snacks and candy. Perfect to nibble on while in a particularly thrilling game of Backgammon, or just a good setup for a rainy day fika. ]

One amused eyebrow lifts a fraction at that deadpan reaction to his miraculous love story, but it doesn't bother him and he's more interested anyway in the rest of the conversation.

"That's a good point, actually." He can't help remembering MarinaNova, where for a long time they'd thought the people who disappeared had gone home, only to discover later that no-one ever actually left, their bodies still in stasis pods the whole time, still prisoners.

He shivers a bit, and grimaces. "I really hope that's not the case. Had enough of that sort of thing to last me a lifetime!"

"Are you interested in testing the idea? Maybe one of us can try to leave on an outgoing ferry, then return as soon as possible to report back."

Zelgadis isn't immediately volunteering himself for this experiment but he'd like to fish around for someone enthusiastic (or foolhardy) enough to do it themselves.
