[009] ♥ [action] [the quad!]

[Being seventeen really, really didn't feel all that much different from sixteen (especially when he hadn't really felt like he was sixteen in the first place). As birthdays went, it'd been better than others; at least here school had already started, and some people had ... wished him a happy birthday (a thing that didn't happen so much when you weren't in school). He was a little unhappy about Home Ec. not meeting today (for reasons that were probably obvious to everyone not him), but other than that, things were going well!

He figures he'll probably go get himself something sweet to celebrate later - maybe some ice cream or something. But for now, classes were over, the weekend was coming up, the gift Mom had said she was sending had arrived (and was safely stored in his room), and she'd added something else, too!

... unfortunately, one of the things Rion had not picked up on prior to coming to school was Triple Triad. Sure, his mom had sent him cards, but ... er, he had no idea what exactly to do with them. So if you don't mind he'll just be looking at these cards like they're written in Coptic or something.

Little birdie mentioned it was your birthday. These presents?

[Because Marco is in the card club.]

You make it look like pulling teeth though. [All too amused.]
fierybluebird: (relaxed)

Yeah, I am. I'm still learning, but it's fun. And sure, it's pretty open, even if you're not a regular. People just want to play. And it's good for figuring out more about the monsters here, eh.

[Will wait it out.]
fierybluebird: (cool breeze)

Nah. Only the professionals do it and usually just in tournaments they set up in advance, eh. Too hard to set up a deck and learn how to build off it otherwise.

Besides, most of them are pretty cool guys and if you need a card or two or even if they just think it'll help a lot, they'll lend it or trade to help you out.
fierybluebird: (I can be sneaky)

No problem. If nothing else, you can stick by me and I'll make sure no one tries to take advantage of the new kids.

[Not that Marco's a mind-reader, but he more or less was thinking the same thing and already promised Toby to watch out for him, even if that kid didn't realize completely.]

[Out of habit, starts organizing them by types and various classifications to explain them.]

You're one short of a deck though.

[Arches eyebrow.] In a match already?
fierybluebird: (hybrid)

Let's go. I'm in the Disciplinary Committee, we're getting it back.
