character: allison argent, character: emerson dewitt, character: eterna westenra (dropped), character: kenzi (dropped), location: westenra estate (dropped), thread: complete, |week: 02, ~date: 07/july 18

Who: Emerson, Eterna, and Allison with a chance of Kenzi!
Where: Eterna's Home
When: Week 2, Thursday Evening
Why: Emerson told Allison that he and Eterna play Scrabble every other Thursday, and he aims to prove that Emerson DeWitt never tells a lie.
Warning: Language, The Eterna Factor, discussion of slavery, TBA

Emerson flicked a cigarette butt somewhere into the woods that surrounded Eterna's mansion, sure to extinguish it lest he be responsible for the second, greatest forest fire to ever grace Crescent Hills' history. As he jogged up to the front steps, the Scrabble board game tucked under one arm, yawned, cracking his neck before knocking loudly on the front door. He was clad in the appropriate attire for the occasion, which just so happened to be the hobo-chic attire he wore to nearly every occasion.

Part of him was kind of curious to see how Eterna's new addition handled herself. Contrary to popular belief, he didn't hate the vampire. It was actually the opposite. He had fun being around her because she was the most entertaining person to, well, torment with splendor that was Emerson DeWitt. He imagined it wasn't quite the same for those she actually purchased to be her slaves. Maybe he'd be able to at least give them a little break, though he imagined it would be worse if he actually beat their mistress at the game.

Emerson did little more than raise an eyebrow as Allison came to sit next to him. He smirked slightly at her hand on his thigh, impressed that the girl would do something like that in front of Eterna of all people. He kind of feared for what it meant her life as a slave was like in that house.

"Aw, can she stay here just for the game, Eterna? She smells nice, and maybe, if we're very lucky, it'll mask my odor," he went on casually. He'd rather give the girl a break for the time he was here, but it had to be a permission granted him by Allison's Mistress. He wasn't near stupid enough to go crossing Eterna of all people.

	Allison swallowed hard - out of anything, she hadn't had that happen to her, especially around someone she didn't know, and so she quickly lowered her head, pressing it against the material of the chair Emerson was sitting on. She watched as Kenzi left the room, feeling more alone all of a sudden. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Well then, shall we play? I'm itching to humiliate you again" Eterna smirked and sipped her glass of blood. She was keeping a close eye on Allison, her quitening down at the mention of the muzzle was rather pleasing. She stored that for later use against her pet. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"And you know me. I'm itching to be humiliated again," Emerson replied with a crooked yet disarming smile. He usually lost the game genuinely. After all, every genius had a fatal flaw, and his happened to be his creative spelling. If only he combine the dictionary that was his brain with the ability to spell most of the words in it.

Emerson looked down at Allison, not letting his face reflect that he did feel for her in her situation. He did smile, though. He'd never been one to treat slaves like their masters did. If they had a problem with him being nice, he'd settle for ignoring them over acting like a dick.

"You gotta wish me luck. I suck at this game. Eterna's beat every time so far," he remarked to the girl. "And she accuses me of cheating."

	"I'm not sure I should wish you luck. I don't think she'd be too happy with me if I did." Allison said quietly, but still managing a smile for the man. "I'm sure you'll both do perfectly fine." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"You may as well wish him luck, pet, he will need all the luck he can get and it still won't make the slightest bit of difference" Eterna chuckled as she took her tiles out of the bag because Emerson was taking to long to start. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Well, I wouldn't bet on me if I were you," Emerson replied with a sigh, emptying his own bag of tiles and setting them up. "She doesn't allow 'close enough' when it comes to spelling." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	shackledargent 2013-10-22 07:16 pm UTC (link)
	"Then good luck." She nodded, leaning up to kiss Emerson's cheek, wanting to show Eterna she could be nice - just not necessarily to her. "I'll hope you win." She crouched down again, resting against Emerson again. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Eterna studied her letters: N, L, D, E, K, S and I for a few minutes before a smile curled around her lips and she made her first move - the word 'slinked', using all 7 tiles and getting a double letter score on the K. It was a decent move that gave her 84 points which was not to be sniffed at really.

She looked up at Emerson with a smirk and took 7 more tiles from the bag.

"Your turn, darling" she lent back, observing the two. It was interesting to see how her slave interacted with Emerson, at least she was behaving herself.

Emerson smiled at Allison for the good luck, taking a long look at his own letters before he noticed Eterna placing hers. He stared at the board, narrowing his eyes before looking back up at Eterna.

"And you say I'm the cheater. How the fuck?" he swore, looking at his own tiles. R, F, X, L, B, A, and Q. Shrugging, he set the tiles down to spell "bald" with the last letter using her D. "I'm gonna need some more luck looks like."

Allison worked hard to not roll her eyes at Eterna - she didn't want her to win. As bad as it would be for her, she didn't want her to win. Just to wipe the smug look off her face, at least. She leant up again, leaning into Emerson's ear, not looking at Eterna once. "You could put the X under the E, sir... I think that would be seventeen points next round, unless you have better tiles." She kelt again, her eyes flicking to Eterna for a second, before looking away again.

"I have a brain, darling, I apologise if that gives me an advantage over you" Eterna chuckled as she looked at her letters; D,U,I,W,H,I & R.

It wasn't exactly the best combination of letters but she found a way to use up 4 of her tiles by placing 'whid' horizontally with the 'H' beneath the 'S' of 'slinked'. Due to the combination of 'whid', 'sh', 'li' and 'id' the move gave her a modest 27 points to add to her score, giving her a total of 111.

She took 4 more tiles from the bag as she watched Allison, it was pathetic really how the girl thought she could irritate her in this way. The whole point of owning the bitch was to toy with her and broken toys are less fun.

"You know me, Eterna," Emerson started with a lazy grin. He took a long drink of his bourbon. "I'd sell my brain for a good drink."

Mostly, the game was a social thing, genuinely social. Emerson probably could've been doing better, but what was the point? Repeatedly showing off your smarts just insured that you threw all your cards on the table at the same time, thus giving everyone ample time to prepare something in response.

Emerson placed the 'x' under the 'e' of 'slinked', following Allison's suggestion. It was probably a good idea to get rid of that 'x' early.

	Allison smiled as her suggestion was listened to, but counting up Eterna's score so far, she was getting frustrated that the women was winning. "At least give him a chance!" She snapped, rolling her eyes at the board, getting frustrated. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"If you ever had a brain to begin with, I am sure that you did sell it for a drink, Emerson" Eterna teased, more than a little amused at Allison's frustration. She could be sporting and tone down her skill level but Eterna didn't believe in doing anything by halves, it had been Emerson's choice of game after all and so she didn't feel guilty in the slightest for slaughtering him at it.

Eterna placed a 'y' to the right of the 'b' in 'bald' and paused for a moment before continuing. She spelt out 'Juicy' and received a triple word score for her efforts giving her an additional 67 points.

"Playing fair, what a human notion" Eterna chuckled

"Pick your battles," Emerson advised, looking at Allison. "Losing Scrabble this badly, though a dent to my swollen ego, is but a flash in the pan." Hopefully the game wouldn't bother the girl too much. He'd hate for her to land herself in trouble, especially when he was just relaxing and having a bit of fun with it.

He selected three more tiles, setting an 'R' above the 'I' in 'slinked' and an 'E' after 'D' of 'id.' It wasn't much of a word, but it was something.

"I'm convinced that my parents sold my brain to the gypsies for good crops one year," he responded further with a grin.

	Allison fell quiet, appreciating that Emerson was trying to give her advice - appreciating that one of them could be kind to her was always a difficulty for her, but taking a deep breath, she just nodded, trying to change her tactics. "That's an... interesting word." She muttered, glancing at Emerson, before looking down again, and blushing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	piercedveil 2013-10-23 04:16 pm UTC (link)
	Purely for the amusement factor she placed a 'p' above 'ride' and went across from their and joined 'pasta' with the a in 'bald'. Eterna wondered silently if Allison would get that she was making a dig at her now that she had edited the word she had found so amusing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It seemed to Emerson that Allison and Eterna were having a sort of conversation via the Scrabble board, though his own participation hadn't been intentional. He shook his head, deciding against mentioning it as he placed an 'O, C, and K' after the 'H' in 'sh'. "Hey, I go with what the tile gods give me." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Allison stared at Eterna, knowing what she was doing, before lowering her eyes again, the jibe being one she wished she could ignore. The bitch took away her pride plenty, she didn't want to address that.

"I know." She muttered, standing to refill Emerson's glass, before sitting a little further away from the two at last. She was quickly finding that having her presence required and being ignored was even more frustrating than being the centre of attention.

"The tile gods clearly do not like you very much" Eterna chuckled as she placed her own letters down. It wasn't even close to the best she could do but it amused her to lay down 'spank' joining onto the k of shock.

She could see that Allison was getting frustrated by being ignored, soon the girl would be seriously wanting some attention - of any kind. Eterna hadn't decided yet whether or not she would oblige

	Emerson set more tiles on the board before responding, spelling 'mange' with the 'a' in 'spank'. "Uh, just to clarify. There's not subtext there. I literally just had the tiles for mange," he piped up, not wanting to be mistaken for speaking their quiet language. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Allison shot a look at Eterna at her last word, saying nothing, and hugging herself, looking out the window rather than focusing on the game any more. She shrugged at Emerson's words, and sighed. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	piercedveil 2013-10-23 06:20 pm UTC (link)
	"The tile gods disagree" Eterna chuckled as she placed 'zeds' around the 'e' in mange, no longer bothering with the silent jibes and instead merely wanting the triple word score to herself. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Emerson leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees as he glared at his tiles. He thought about using magic to change his luck, but as it stood he wasn't looking to be doing too well with or without it.

"You don't mind if I ask her for help, do you?" Emerson asked Eterna, gesturing to Allison with a lazy grin. "I mean, with the both of us, we just might have a slight chance."
