"Let's see here. I know! We can go with an Olympics themed game." Lindsey said thinking of possible game variants to play.
"Nah, there are too many weird and obscure games in those. Let's stick with one." Peter said shooting her down.
"Oh, um, I think maybe we could try a more specific variant of that Olympic theme. How about swimming." Eugene said nervously tossing out an idea for the group.
"Swimming? That's nice and all, but how about we play something with actual scoring, that'll make it easier to understand." Peter once again squashing one of the groups ideas.
Judy shot her boyfriend a look, she knew where he was pushing the group but decided to try one last push, "How about America's pastime, baseball. Everybody knows baseball and it's one game with scoring. Everybody should be happy with that."
Lindsey, Eugene, and Judy all turned to Peter ready for him to shoot down the idea, and sure enough, "Yeah, but that's just it, it's America's PAST time. As in it's old and slow. Let's pick something with more relevance."
"Like say...football?" Lindsey asked with a hint of sarcasm.
"Hey that's a good idea!" Peter said enthusiastically giving the thumbs up of approval.
"You magnificent ass." Judy said with an angry whisper but Peter didn't seem to here it. Eugene had already sighed knowing this was the inevitable outcome and typed in 'AMERICAN FOOTBALL' into the interface. As soon as he did, a slot under the monitor opened up with four pieces inside. A quarterback throwing the ball, a halfback running the ball, a receiver catching the ball, and a kicker well...kicking the ball. Peter didn't even wait for anyone else he just grabbed the quarterback piece without consulting anyone. The other three didn't even want to complain, all of them had the same 'let the baby have his bottle' mentality at this point as Judy grabbed the Wide Receiver, Eugene grabbed the Halfback, and Lindsey grabbed the Kicker.
Some instructions popped up on the screen, and Eugene began to read. "We are the Mustangs facing off against our cross town rivals the Cowboys at our school's homecoming game. We roll the dice and if we land on a Challenge or Action space we must complete theme in order to roll again. It looks like our goal is to all reach the ENDzone and once we do we can shout 'Morphmanji' and that will end the game and all changes that come with it."
"Changes that come with it?" Judy asked.
"That's like a rather curious way to word how the game ends. What do you think it means?"
"Who cares, let's just play the game." Peter said as he took the initiative and picked up the die to roll.
