Theo got out as well and took his house keys out of his back pocket as he unlocked his room door after walking up two flights of stairs "Yeah brothers are weird sometimes but I love them to death I wouldn't be able to stand it if I heard any of them were in trouble…but I know that they have to learn themselves what to do in life…even Alex…the little trouble maker that he is."
Meg nodded a little. She may have been an only child but she liked hearing about his family. “What kind of trouble does he get into?” she asked as she followed him to the door.
"Just things like lying, petty theft of like earbuds and crap like that. He doesn't take much stuff seriously and I've been trying to help." Theo told her as he opened up his door and motioned for her to go inside
Meg nodded a little at him as she walked in. ”Sounds like you're a good brother, Theo. He's lucky to have you looking out for him.” she smiled. ”And I may be playing Devil's Advocate here, but at least he's not getting into anything really serious.”
"Yeah…I'm not letting them get into anything dad was into." Theo said more to himself than Meg as he shut the door behind him and started to his closet to get the game out.
Meg gave him a sympathetic smile at his comment. She had a hunch about what his dad may have done, considering how he reacted to what happened… Was that really only yesterday? She sighed softly and walked over to the couch.
He came back with the updated game box and he left the instructions with her "You want anything to drink?" he asked as he went into his small kitchen
”Just water is fine.” she told him as he left before looking over the updated rules. Though she was sure that the original rules still applied so she had something to fall back on.
He came back with two glasses of water. He unfolded the board and started to put everything in place.
”Thank you.” she smiled as he handed her the water and started to help him set up the game. She glanced back at him as she grabbed her character token.
"No problem Meg." he said happily as he plucked the purple token and placed it where it should go. He shuffled each of the card types "Should we just play one token each or split them up between two like Charlie and I do when no one else wanted to play?"
She perked up in interest at the idea. ”I’m up for splitting the characters. Any special rules for that?” she asked a little eagerly. She figured the turns would still be similar just with them playing a different characters as they alternated.
Whichever character solves the murder will win the game for the player controlling them." Theo said as his eyes flicked to Mr. Green and Colonel Mustard
Meg rolled her eyes with a playful smile. ”Obviously.” she teased, noticing his gaze she picked up Dr. Orchid and Mrs. Peacock for her other characters.
Theo put the top cards into the top secret envelope and smiled happily "You first. We always acted out the personalities but you don't have to let's just have fun."
Meg smiled back and looked at her first characters’ clue cards. ”I don't know. I might do the acting when I make an accusation but I'm not sure how well I can do Mrs. Peacock.” she admitted before rolling the dice to move.
Theo just smiled and looked to Meg as he waited for her to make the first move (we don't have to actually play the full game just an overview if you want)
(I’m fine with an overview. Honestly, it's been a while since I actually played Clue. 😅)
(Who's Jo and Arno? 😉)
(wow I just yoinked two other characters I'm using for another rp. I'll fix that real quick)
(Lol it's ok.)
(I’m drawing a blank on what to write…)
After Meg had gone he rolled his dice and moved to the kitchen "Why I say that I believe that I think that it was that young lady Dr. Orchid with the…poison…in the theater. " Theo accused as Professor Plum
”Well, professor, I’m sorry to say that it was not in the theater.” Meg answered as Ms. Scarlett, showing him the card that proved his accusation false. She smiled at him and rolled before moving into the observatory. ”Now I will say that it was Colonel Mustard… in the library… with the rope.”
"Quite an accusation there Missy but it wasn't with no rope." Theo answered with Mr. Green. He rolled and moved around, having to draw a card, pulling the first clock card.
Meg nodded and crossed off the rope on her detective pad. She looked up at him as he drew a card before taking her turn.
"You remember what those clock cards mean right?" Theo asked her
”Not really.” she admitted, shaking her head briefly. ”Unless that’s the one that brings everyone into one room?” she asked.
"If you pull the last clock card then the person who pulls it, their token is out." Theo told her with a little grin
”Oh. Ok.” she nodded, looking at the stack of cards a little apprehensively. ”Uhh… I think it's your turn since I just drew.” she said as she tapped her new card.
Little by little the two of them had a pretty good idea over the weapon and the room but still had it between two other people. Mr. Green ended up being the player token that was 'killed off' by the clock cards.
