[. . . why is there a disgruntled looking Echidna staring down your card game. judgingly.

anyway, he's grabbing that bell.]

[briarliar]

Oh! Mr. Kim Dokja, did you know about this game? D-did I make a bad play?

[totalmisplay]

[A Rabbit magically appears in Yor's hand as soon as she plays the Warren. But MORE IMPORTANTLY NOW THERE'S AN INTERLOPER!]

Hey! Give that back!!

[4thwalled]

How many times do I have to tell people to not use the bells? You know these summon Echidnas from wherever they are, right?

1/3

[briarliar]

But that's not an Echidna bell, that's the game bell. The Echidna bell is over there—

[briarliar]

[ she turns to look and...oh no, the bell is not where it used to be. there is no Echidna bell there. which means that is the Echidna bell. ]

[briarliar]

I'm so sorrrrrrrry, Mr. Kim Dokja! I should've known betttttttteeeeeeerrrr...

[totalmisplay]

Huh? How were we supposed to know that? Yor knew that?!

[4thwalled]

There's a bulletin board with all that information posted on it.

But it's all right, Yor Forger. It's a mistake that happens every so often.

[briarliar]

[ whispering to Stoat ]

I knew they could be summoned with a bell from the time Mr. Momota was, um, overzealous in ringing it. B-but I thought it was a different bell! Possibly with some kind of instructions on it!

[ then turning and bowing a little in apology to Kim Dokja, which includes her deck of cards so there is also a rabbit and a warren bowing as well ]

I-I'm really sorry, it's my fault! Stoat didn't know. We weren't trying to make you come here and do any clean up or task, we were just playing a game. And we weren't trying to make you be our audience either!

[totalmisplay]

So we can't use a perfectly good bell just because it inconveniences a few Echidna?

[It is sulky, but already resigned to Yor not letting them continue to use it.]

[4thwalled]

[you think it's just fine to disrupt a guy's reading time, you shady stoat??!?]

There are plenty of other options for the same effect as a bell around here.

And there are multiple bells in various locations, so please take care with any bells left out on surfaces.

[briarliar]

W-we will! We'll avoid any bells left around in case they're yours. Including the clock tower bell! Because that might accidentally summon everyone!

...you don't get summoned if we make pretend bell noises though, do you?

[totalmisplay]

That's sooooo embarrassing...

[briarliar]

You've done impressions before, Stoat. I'm sure you can make a very convincing bell noise!

[4thwalled]

[Phoenix... is just like this...]

Definitely don't use the clock tower bell.

Anyway, while I'm here, is there anything else needed or can I get back to my book?

[briarliar]

[ Yor would protest Phoenix is not Just Like This but...she also has been caught too many times Like This for it to be convincing. she's very sure that Phoenix, when not associated with her, is Like Something Else though! ]

Oh no, we don't want to keep you from your reading! Otherwise we would invite you to play but...it's only for two players...and we don't want to annoy you with bell noises even if they're the pretend kind. Again, I'm really sorry, Mr. Kim Dokja!

[totalmisplay]

Reading a book isn't exactly a super busy or important thing to get back to. But sure, get back to it.

[briarliar]

[ the strained smile of someone trying to overcompensate niceness ]

I'm sure you're at an exciting part you really want to finish. Yuri was like that too, and he became so smart because of all the reading he did.

[ this one is more to Stoat ]

It doesn't have to be important or even fill out a bingo square as long as you're having fun with your hobby, right?

[totalmisplay]

Uh-huh...

[Look, it's being nice by backing off and letting Yor handle all the niceness!]

[briarliar]

And I'm having fun! So...um, th-that's the end of my turn. Should I say 'ding' now?

[totalmisplay]

Personally, I'm just going to say "I end my turn" even if it makes me sound like a cartoon. If you want to say "ding"... sure. Whatever. I'll know what you mean.

[briarliar]

I don't think it makes you sound like a cartoon. Those usually end with some kind of malevolent laughter or they trail off for some reason, like they want someone else to respond but aren't expecting it.

...oh, then! Ding!

[totalmisplay]

You're seriously not playing anything else? Eh, none of my business. The bell is the bell. No take-backs.

[1. It calculates damage, giving itself 1 more point of damage from Yor's Stoat (for 2 out of 5 damage).
2. It slides its Hawk forward to be on the field, in front of Yor's Warren.
3. It draws a squirrel and plays it on the back row.
4. It replaces it with a Warren which will appear in front of Yor's Stoat.
5. A Rabbit appears in its hand. It keeps the Rabbit for now.]

I end my turn.

[And finally, it calculates damage from the Hawk, rolling 3 points so that now it's 1 out of 5 damage on Yor's side of the scale.

Yor's hand is currently unless I messed up one Warren and one Rabbit. Do you draw a SQUIRREL, or draw from the MAIN DECK?]

[briarliar]

[ ...waiting before ]

Oh, right! You're saying that and not the bell noise.

[ she knows that apparently rabbits can't fight so drawing from the MAIN DECK which is the adder so she puts down the adder over the rabbit, then hesitates because it costs two blood? ]

So...I need to give you the warren and the rabbit to play the snake?
