♠♣ Aventurine ♦♥️

@ratiosensei Mad...? Surely not at *me*. Why, I've never done a single thing wrong or even questionable in my entire life! You must have me mistaken for someone else...?

@SchemingLuck You know very well. Now I'm mad. This... this is your fault... Gambler. : (

How do I tell Spade that it was not MY fault that SHE was the one who rolled off the couch. I feel as if she is plotting my demise now ?

@ratiosensei Start what, Doc? I said One Word.

@SchemingLuck Do not start.

@Doved_Harmony ((yes and it's awful I miss being on T I was free for five years and I'm not adapting well))

@SchemingLuck //~♫ Is thou also experiencing The Crimson Tide?

((giving my cramps away. To Aventurine. I don't want em so he can have them))

can’t put my finger on it but i love the way aventurine speaks so much…… it’s kind of like he has an old timey, slightly pretentious charm to his vocabulary sometimes. who the hell is saying “pray tell” or “sauce for the goose” on the regular. i love him so terribly

@Doved_Harmony Okay well first of all, I *did* say one reason. You listed three. Preeeeeetty sure that disqualifies you! Oooh, shame. Play again soon, though? Everyone quits *just* before they win.

Because there's healthier coping mechanisms, you deserve better despite not thinking so, and I get the feeling you don't really CARE about winning... Just a thought ^-^

@ratiosensei [ He's actually nervous for a moment. Aventurine! A man willing to use his own life to gamble...nervous that Ratio wouldn't think his joke is funny. Luckily that moment isn't long, and he relaxes as the soft laughter reaches his ears. ] And what does that make you? You laughed~

@SchemingLuck [ He purses his lips tightly to that. Ratio lifts a hand and coughs into his fist. That repressed laughter... did not last long, because now he's softly chuckling. ] .. That is SUCH a stupid joke- aha - 𝘲𝘶𝘢𝘤𝘬-𝘢𝘥𝘦𝘮𝘪𝘤𝘴. You are a fool, gambler. [ Shaking his head ]

A new friend is acquired. Say hello.

@ratiosensei ((no lobotomise. Only encourage. I give you chef hat. Cook for me ✨))

@ratiosensei Hey now, Ratio. If you'll remember, that *wasn't* my first proposal! I think Doctor Spade was a fine suggestion! Though I've no idea what ducks can study.... What kind of.... [ Snort ] Quack-ademic studies she's interested in... [ Yeah. Nothing silly at all. ]

@SchemingLuck I suppose you would like to name her after our... first encounter... then ? Ahem– I am not partial to ' Roulette, ' in fact, I quite fancy it over Spade. It rolls off of the tongue quite nicely, and it makes it sound as if she means Business. No silly matters afoot.

@ratiosensei Displeasing?! You wound me, Ratio. I can't call her Diamond, that's taken. Club isn't a name. Shuffle sounds silly. Heart.... Well. If you don't like Spade, I *guess* we could use that? Hmm. Do you think Roulette works as a name? It's got that cute ending after all.

@SchemingLuck Tch... she might end up with that name. How displeasing, I don't want to address her as Spade. > : (

@ratiosensei ..... Fine, but I'm keeping it as a nickname and you can't do anything to stop me, Doc.

@SchemingLuck ... [ Scoffs ] I am not calling her that. This is my duck, I get to choose a proper name for her.

@ratiosensei I'm calling it Dr. Spade. [ Is apparently taking it upon himself to? Name? Ratio's pet?? ]

@SchemingLuck Astute observation.

@ratiosensei ((Shhh it's not "doing to me" I'm offering!!! I like being able to be there for the good people I meet 🥺 just! Open invitation in perpetuity for me being a Listening Guy))

@SchemingLuck // i am, i only have a few months till im lost in the sauce so i will figure things out ! and i cant do that to you, ive already made people suffer enough of my venting. thank you though i appreciate the sentiment <3 i got thisssss

@Yingxings_ ...... ................. Oh you know... ✨

'Oh Aventurine should you really gamble as much as you d—' name one reason I shouldn't.
