My ideas seem to come to me like buses.

Time for some serious community spammage. Both fics surround the same drinking game (which I'll be happy to explain if my description doesn't quite make sense).

Title: Lying in Moderation
Topic: Playing games
Rating: G
Word Count: 300
Pairing: None as such; just CP9's attempt at "bonding" complete fail on yaoi front

Kaku was the one who suggested it, thinking it might be a good way to get CP9 to bond over something other than Spandam-hatred.

 

Blueno added the drinking aspect of the game as he was certain he could drink everyone else under the table.

 

Jyabura agreed to it enthusiastically. There was no way in hell he was going to be beaten by Blueno.

 

Fukurou joined in because he couldn’t possible miss a chance to gleam some drunken gossip.

 

Kalifa accepted it with a resigned smile – a smile resigned to the fact that none of these men would know what had hit them once she got started.

 

Kumadori furiously declined, spouted a lecture about the evils of drink and flounced off to meditate.

 

And Lucci and Hattori, who both took their drink in strict moderation, sat aside and waited for those fools to make idiots of themselves.

 

The game wasn’t difficult. Two die under a cup, shook up by the first player and the total looked at and read out solely by that person. The next player had to do the same, only the total on their die had to be higher than that of the first. If it wasn’t, you had to down your drink. If you lied about it and were found out then you also had to drink. A supreme challenge for the masters of deception.

 

Except no one took into account the presence of Fukurou, incapable of lying to save himself from drinking and knew exactly what was under the cup at any given moment.

 

No one won the game that night.

 

Lucci got up and left the five unconscious members of CP9 in their positions on, around and under the table. He was going to treat them all to a dawn wake-up call the next day…

OH, yes. I know this game...
I know it pretty well. And this story brings back memories...
or the lack thereof ^^;

[sparkestra.livejournal.com]

Or lack of thereof describes precisely how my memories of it. Hell, I can't even remember the name of this game properly... ^^;

[kuraiofanagura.livejournal.com]

I know it under the name "Mäxle".
a 1 and a 2 on the dice is a Mäxle. It is the highest thing you can get. But if you're caught lying about this you have to drink the bottle >.

Lol, what I love most about this drabble is how you've managed to give an outline of all of their personalities in one sentence each!

God am I glad I've never played this game... ¬¬

Lol, yeah you're lucky to have avoided it! I'm a terrible liar and I played this with a friend who is disturbingly good at reading people and recognising lies. I've never played it since...

I use my general inability to lie to my advantage- I pretend that I'm pretending to tell the truth.

[hinas-otaku.livejournal.com]

Never mind playing it with someone who's disturbingly good at reading people; you know me! I'm just a shite liar. Seriously... I'm nearly as bad as Fukurou D=
