"Oh, good..." Yves lets out a huge, exaggerated sigh, that is actually one-hundred percent genuine and follows moments where she feels like yeeting herself off a bridge for committing social sewer side. That's the proportion of the incidents inside her head at least, it's usually just her misspeaking or rambling, like right now.
She plays a card too. Maybe she has to draw before she can play a card. For all we know, these two have actually been playing Bridge the whole time.
"Yeah, they- I've always lived with them. For as long as I can remember. And, uh, the couple times I asked Grandpa and Nana, they said that, well... my parents gave me up when I was just a little baby, so..."

"That's awful..." Nico frowned. "Your grandparents seem really nice, though!"
I don't know how to play Bridge, but it would probably be going better than the dumpster fire that is the current game of UNO.

Hey you take that back RIGHT NOW I thought we had a nice game of UNO going for like five posts.
“Oh, um, thank you. I think they’re pretty great…” A bashful smile creeps onto her face for a split second, only to immediately shift to dread and horror and all that, “w-wait! That sounds like I’m bragging… oh, geez… I, um- no, you already apologized for that…”
Yves looks like she’s on the verge of having a mental breakdown as she draws five cards in a row.
“Noooo… nothing’s going right, now!”

You're right. I'm sorry. This may be an emotional dumpster fire but the game of UNO is not to blame.
"Oh, I didn't think you were bragging or anything! Don't worry about it!"
He gives her a sympathetic look and then draws or plays a card or something.

Thanks, dude. I feel like we hashed out that problem in a very civil manner. Go us.
Yves freezes up at the pity- I mean, sympathy look and starts to melt under the pressure. “S-so, um… how are you and Felix doing?”

Agreed, bestie.
Nico blushes a bit. "We're good!" He smiles widely. "Thanks for asking!"
"What about you and Faye? How are you two doing?"

Yves looks like she regrets all of her life choices as her face goes tomater red.
“Oh, um, that’s good! Sorry, if, uh, that wasn’t a good question I just- I think you two are cute together! And… we’re in… similar situations. Sort of. And I thought it’d be, like, a bonding thing, or something…”
”We’re good. I think. I really like her. A lot.

Nico blushes a bit more.
“T-Thanks! You two are cute together as well!” He smiles. “I guess we’re in the same boat, then. Because I really like Felix a lot. And he’s a great guy, and he’s cute and-“ He stops once he realizes he’s ranting about Felix, and his face turns bright red. “S-Sorry, I wasn’t trying to rant there!” He awkwardly clears his throat. “I’m glad things are good between you two. She seems nice. One of these days I want to get to know her better.”

Yves laughs awkwardly. “No, it’s fine. I, um, ramble all the time.” She seems a little more comfortable now, at least. Comparatively.
“I haven’t talked to you or Felix much, I’d like to get to know you both, too… m-maybe we could all hang out together, even…?”

"Sure!" Nico smiles. "That sounds like it'd be a lot of fun!"

“Right? I’m… glad you think so. If only we weren’t, um, y’know… trapped in here. We could’ve gotten to know each other and hung out like- like normal…”

"Yeah..." Nico sighs. "Once we get out of here though, we can all go on a double date!"

Yves recoils and flinches like she's just been shot. Oh God, is this the murder, is a body about to be discovered oh fu
"That- I think that would be nice. If, we, um... make it out of here. I hope we'd keep in touch..."

Post by Joker on Apr 15, 2023 2:14:51 GMT
“We’ll make it out of here!” Nico says, trying to put on a confident smile for Yves. “And we’ll stay in touch, too. How’s that sound?”

Nico's smile quickly vanishes, deflated by Yves's response.
"I suppose you're right..." He admitted quietly, feeling defeated.

Oh no. Yves notices she’s made Nico sad and now she’s starting to panic again.
“I didn’t mean it like that! I think! I, um, it’s too good to be true, to me, that I met all of you! Faye, Caitlin, you, Felix, Su-Ah…” She trails off for a moment, shaking her head, “I’ve never had… friends, before. Ever. So I just… it’s a lot, for me to handle. And it feels like I don’t deserve it, that’s all… I really hope we do stay in touch, if we get out of this alive.”

"O-Oh! My bad." Nico perks back up a bit. "I shouldn't have gave up that easily. Sorry about that."
"...I only had one really close friend until I messed things up with him, so I know what it's like to feel alone. So don't say you don't deserve it! Everyone should have friends! You're a great person, Yves. I wish we met under better circumstances, but I'm glad I met you too. And I promise that if we do get out of here we'll stay in touch, okay?"

"I'd... like that. A shared traumatic experience is like, um, a bonding experience, right?"

Post by Joker on Apr 16, 2023 2:54:27 GMT
"Right! We'll basically all come out of this being best friends!"

"Maybe..." Yves starts, fiddling with the cards she may or may not have in her hands still I don't fucking know what's going on with this scene anymore, "Maybe we could still have a normal school life together, after this is all over. But it'd be super unlikely for us to all go to the same school that's not, well... St. Hope's, but, um, I think it would be nice..."

Post by Joker on Apr 16, 2023 15:21:43 GMT
"That'd be cool! And if you think about it, getting everyone here to go to St. Hope's was unlikely in the first place. It's not impossible for us to all go to the same school again!"

“That’s… a good point.” Yves nods thoughtfully, pushing her glasses up the bridge of her nose, “You know, you’re- I think it’s really easy to talk to you. It’s nice.”

"You really think so?" Nico asked, a bit surprised, but happy. "Thanks! I'm glad to hear it. I feel the same way about you!"

If Nico was a little surprised, Yves looks like she just saw a bomb go off in front of her.
“Huh? You- you don’t really mean that. I must be a nightmare to talk to…”

Post by Joker on Apr 17, 2023 2:38:17 GMT
"Huh? Why wouldn't I mean it? It's been great talking with you! I'm having a lot of fun!"

Nico wanders around the island, as if he's looking for someone.
"Hmm... Now where could she be?" He says to himself.

Yves, who is totally not the person Nico's looking for, 'mirite gamers, is crouching out in the middle of the otherwise empty beach, drawing... something in the sand with a very twiggy piece of driftwood. She's quietly humming something to herself, and thankfully not dying of heatstroke due to making the sensible decision of taking her sweater and an additional layer of shirt underneath it off.
She doesn't notice Nico's presence whatsoever.

"Ah! There she is!" Nico says, once he gets closer to the beach and spots Yves. "Seems she's busy with something, though. Maybe I should ask her later...?"
He thinks for a moment. "No, might as well do it now." He continues talking to himself as he approaches the tall girl. Once he gets close enough to where he wouldn't have to shout, he speaks to her.
"Hey, Yves! Do you have a minute?"
