[A woman's voice comes over the line.]

You've reached the Trickster's voicemail. Unfortunately, Mr. Trickster isn't available to take your call, nor will he likely ever be. Should you still wish to leave a message, please respond after the tone, and maybe we'll remember to get it to him, mmkay?

No, but I'm really wondering why you keep doing it.

[A beat.]

...Chess?

[He just gives Gabriel a look for the first part--really, who else is he going to ask?--but then nods.]

Yes. Chess. Rei is off living with John, and I have no one to play with.

[So that leaves you, bro.]

[uberboned]

So Battleship's completely off the table, right?

[ofthursday]

[Headtilt.]

I have never played it.

It's like Chess, but with fake warships. Much more interesting. [Look, chess is lame, bro. You need to learn... Awesome games.] And it's high time I gave you a lesson in being a little less lame.

[Well, he's down for that.]

I'd like to learn.

[Battleship, not the 'less lame' part. He doesn't care about that part, whatever.]

Prepare to be schooled. Come by the theme park.

...And watch out for the snake.

[Pause.]

Snake?

[And here, have your brother about thirty seconds later.]

[Sure enough, there is definitely a rattlesnake on the couch. And Gabriel is already meticulously setting up his Battleships.] This is the worst event. Period. It's like going to your high school reunion after you dropped out and refused to get your GED.

[Castiel spares the rattlesnake a curious look but leaves it alone, moving over to sit down on the opposite side of the board even though he has no idea how to play.]

I don't understand any of the latter portion what you just said. Though I agree that this event is particularly annoying.

[Not the worst, by far--to him that goes to the asylum event and probably always will--but definitely irritating.]

[uberboned]

[Moving on...] Okay, bro. Think of this game as like a really advanced form of chess. The first thing you gotta do is line up your little ships however you want them on that bottom grid. Once they're in place, the game begins.

[He listens carefully, picking up his little ships and beginning to carefully place them on the board. Once he's done, he seems to wait for something to happen, before finally looking at Gabriel.]

Is something supposed to occur?

[Offline]

[uberboned]

Wait for it. [And... Gabriel explains the rest of the rules of the game, because I'm really freakin' lazy and HEY, HE ACTUALLY ISN'T THAT BAD AT EXPLAINING. Mostly. Yeah, anyway. Magical thread timeskip time.] G4. [A beat.] Y'know, I think Rei might be one of the few people barely affected by all this crap.

Miss.

[Castiel has strategically laid his ships out in a pattern meant to be obscure; meanwhile he's mentally calculated the most likely spots to strike back.]

D6.

[And a somewhat surprised and baffled look for that comment.]

She believes it's been ten years, Gabriel.

[That's not barely affected okay.]

[Offline]

[uberboned]

[And this is the point where Gabriel, who has more sunk ships than floating ones REALLY REGRETS teaching Castiel a strategy game.

Still cooler than chess. He raises an eyebrow at his brother.] I'm talking about how she hasn't changed a bit, Castiel. [A beat.] Also miss. A3.

[Offline]

[ofthursday]

[Poor Gabriel. This is what you get for having a nerd for a little brother.]

She does seem to be very similar. But I would not have expected her personality to change greatly.

Miss; E7.

[uberboned]

Hit. [Grumble mutter.] Yeah, but pretty much everyone else got the rough trade version of ten years. Good one, Animus.

B9.

[Offline]

[ofthursday]

[Castiel looks vaguely pleased for a moment, until Gabriel finally stumbles upon one of his ships as well.]

Hit. E8.

I have not been paying attention to many others.
