"Yeah, sureee.." he answered eventually.
* Totally unnoticeable, he carefully intertwined their hands.
* he looked back to Mask shortly after, wandering around to the other side so he could pat the inkling's shoulder
"Wanna go steal the stale candy in the arcade's prize area?"
"Yeah, sureee.." he answered eventually.
* Totally unnoticeable, he carefully intertwined their hands.
* he nodded. Disappointed, sure, but he wasn't a sore loser
* he was mostly out of space. Only enough to play a few cards. He put down the biggest card he was able to, .96 gal. A 10 point card. With that, he was out of spaces. Luckily, the card activated a special point. Maybe he'd be able to come back. He doubted it
"Your turn." he said.
* he didn't have much space left. He placed down octostamp, giving him another special point. He glanced up at Mask. Always ambiguous, indiscernible. Sometimes he wished it was different. Though, never for long. He liked Mask how he was
"Your turn." he said.

* splat charger. A good card for getting points with little space. Practically straight, he slotted it up against the right edge of the board. He glanced at the special gauges. 1-2. He needed to lock in

* Not to mention, he had to monitor his own expressions and such. Poker.... Everything

He nodded and looked up once again.
* he looked up at Mask, surveying his body language, and looking through his eyes for clues. For hesitation. For a moment's falter. He found none. Confident, huh? Aloha was determined to win
"Go on! ~ ♪"
He nodded and looked up once again.
"Yours now."
* he'd go on to put down marigold first. No shame in trying to get a head start. He gave a cheeky little grin, adjusting his hat so he could look up into Mask's eyes. Oh, he loved those eyes. Such a shame he couldn't see the rest of his face
"Your turn."
"Yours now."
* Mask lazily went over to his seat at the table. This would be fun, Aloha stood no chance. Mask had researched everything about tableturf, every strategy, every card, every use and combination of cards for every map...

"You wanna play?"
* he said, turning back to the masked inkling. He smiled softly. Who knew someone who hated life and happiness, could make someone else so very giddy and joyous?
"I've got a few more play tokens. And cash too! ~♪"

* The slightest trace of a smile twitched across Mask's face. He hated happiness, life was terrible and there was nothing to be happy about. But Aloha sure made him feel like things weren't all that bad sometimes. Mask kept looking over Aloha's shoulder, watching the game.
* he said, turning back around to the card table. Two turns left. 20 points ahead. He was sure he could win. Then again, he'd been bested before, hadn't he? All to do now was wait. And play.

*Mask's day was as bad as one could imagine. He really looked forward to a nice evening of tryharding whatever game they had. *
>
* When it finally does, he gives a great big smile, unapologetically placing down DJ Octavio, a card giving 17 points. With that, he gains 2 special points. ruthless.
