You never played snap before? It's a dumb game. You toss down cards down, match 'em up and then yell snap when you win.

[A game they preferred to play when drunk as all hell because it was mostly throwing cards onto the floor and yelling snap before the other could. They were mature and sensible adults.]

[shrinkage]

Dumb but dangerous. Sounds right up our alley.

[ ray grins against the doubt he has about how dangerous that game doesn't sound at all. ]

Got any 2's?

[boilover]

What do you mean 'our'?

[He's feeling a little standoffish at the idea of having himself be a we or an our without Leonard being somehow included. It's a bad day.]

Nope.

[ oops. quickly, ray diverts his attention to drawing a card. maybe he can just sweep that one under the rug with a change of subject... ]

You know, I didn't like card games when I was a kid, but I did like to play with cards.

[boilover]

That doesn't make sense, why the hell would you play with cards if you didn't like card games?

[Mick rolls his eyes and looks over his cards before adding.] Got any fives?

[shrinkage]

Hmm...let me see...

[ ray looks through his cards, and then reaches past mick's head. when he pulls back (if mick lets him get that far) he snaps his fingers to reveal a five of hearts. ]

Why, yes I do!

[boilover]

[ Blink

Blink

wtf just even happened? ]

You just like to make it hard for me to like you, don't you? [ Mick takes the card and pulls a face. Of course Ray is a magical nerd. Of course.]

[shrinkage]

[ beaming proudly, ray seems generally unaffected by the jab. ]

Everyone likes magic.

[ e v e r y o n e . ]

[boilover]

I don't.

[So there.

Only he seriously does. So cool.]

Unless it's got pyrotechnics. Then I'll give a pass.

[shrinkage]

Any Jacks?

[ ray considers him for a moment before nodding. ]

I could get a sparkler from the closet...

[boilover]

I don't trust you with fireworks, haircut.

[Mick offers his Jack out to Ray.]

I barely trust me with them but hey, you wanna play with fire? [There's an unsettling smile there. This is not a good idea to bring up.] Go right ahead.
