America (and apparently the Shi'ar Empire)'s Good Time Game!
For future reference for all involved, it is never considered a good idea to play Scrabble with a literate, well-read prince. Board games have been the destruction of many a relationship, though this round had not quite progressed that far. However, Rachel was definitely beginning to feel like a backwater hick by comparison.

She looked at the tiles that Starbridge had put down on the Scrabble board and frowned. "That is so not a word."

	Starbridge looked almost hurt. "It is, I swear. It's a musical instrument. A human musical instrument. I know it doesn't have any vowels, but the w is pronounced kind of like an 'au' in this context." (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"Human word, huh?" Rachel asked. "...What country?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"The instrument originated in Wales." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	marvel_girl 2012-01-24 02:39 am UTC (link)
	"Okay, yeah. They do seem to have a hatred for vowels." She put down a few letters, chaining off the c in crwth to make cradle. "We had an X-Man from there once, actually." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Starbridge used the d to make dregs. "What were they like?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Pretty, ah, excitable really. Megan was... kinda crazy. But she made the field team for a while, once she figured out how to do some teleporting." Rachel followed by adding some letters to the g to get "gallon." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It's a very good skill." And he manages to use one of those Ls to make 'lovely,' and smiles at her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	marvel_girl 2012-01-24 02:58 am UTC (link)
	Rachel smiled in return. "How did you get so good at this?" she asked. She stared at her letters, before realizing she could make "vexing" out of the v. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	gildedcage 2012-01-24 03:02 am UTC (link)
	He smiles. "I do not get out much." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	marvel_girl 2012-01-24 03:16 am UTC (link)
	"Oh," Rachel said. "Yeah. I guess you probably wouldn't..." She smiled. "Still, you're whomping me at my first language here. That's pretty impressive." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	gildedcage 2012-01-24 03:19 am UTC (link)
	He puts down 'axiom.' "Whomping. Now that is a word I have never heard before." He chuckles. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	marvel_girl 2012-01-24 03:26 am UTC (link)
	"It means, ah, beating badly," Rachel explained. She stared at her letters and at the board, finally settling on "mini." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	gildedcage 2012-01-24 03:29 am UTC (link)
	"Nonsense. You're doing very well, Radiant One." Starbridge looks, then puts 'quilt.' (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	marvel_girl 2012-01-24 03:46 am UTC (link)
	"I don't believe that for a second," Rachel said, "but I love hearing you say it." She added some letters making it into "quilting." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	gildedcage 2012-01-24 05:14 am UTC (link)
	And he smiles again. "While perhaps not the most proficient of the nerdy arts, Radiant One, you are fiercely intelligent and fun to be with, so I'm incredibly happy playing with you. Even without counting the view." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	marvel_girl 2012-01-24 10:46 pm UTC (link)
	"View's pretty dang good from where I'm sitting too," Rachel told him. God, she loved it when he called her 'Radiant One.' She really needed to find something comparable to call him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	gildedcage 2012-01-24 11:44 pm UTC (link)
	"Excellent," Starbridge says, looking down with a slight blush before he uses the i to make 'kiss' (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	marvel_girl 2012-01-25 12:23 am UTC (link)
	"Was that a hint?" Rachel got up for a moment, to lean over and kiss him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	gildedcage 2012-01-25 01:08 am UTC (link)
	Apparently a very profitable hint, Radiant One. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	marvel_girl 2012-01-25 01:37 am UTC (link)
	Well, you don't have to be a mind reader for everything. (Reply to this)(Parent)
