Emperor ja nai

... there is a limit to how much a man can take, on that note, I like to think my tolerance is somewhat higher than that of a normal person. In fact, I am rather proud of my ability to persist when it comes to matters of patience...

This, however... is ridiculous.

Given all of the elements currently surrounding me... I cannot find an argument that would not lead to a dead end against that claim.

[rebeleleven.livejournal.com]

Oh? So we're actually in agreement, Your Highness?

[oh-geass-no.livejournal.com]

Quite the shock, is it not?

[rebeleleven.livejournal.com]

How shocking indeed, Lelouch-sama. Though, it is pretty amusing seeing you in that outfit.

[oh-geass-no.livejournal.com]

I am relieved to know my irritation can bring you such amusement.

[rebeleleven.livejournal.com]

Because seeing you so irritated always brings me nothing but joy, really. Still, I could try and relieve you off your frustrations.

[oh-geass-no.livejournal.com]

*leaning forward onto the desk* How, pray tell, do you intend to relieve me?

[rebeleleven.livejournal.com]

[blinks, then places hands on the desk to lean forward] Wouldn't you like to know? I could think of many ways to do that.

[oh-geass-no.livejournal.com]

Such a vague reply, Kallen. You should narrow the options down before you present me with a choice.

[rebeleleven.livejournal.com]

I can't be very obvious, My Lord, but very well; I'll tell you... I could always distract you in any way you choose.

[oh-geass-no.livejournal.com]

*leaaaaning back in his chair* You are fortunate I am who I am, Kallen. *motions to one side* Would you care to play a game?

[rebeleleven.livejournal.com]

... A game, you say? [walks towards you!] If it's what Lelouch-sama wants, then consider it granted.

[oh-geass-no.livejournal.com]

How considerate of you. *reaching down under the desk, feeling around a bit, then pulling out a few dice* A game of chance, for a change?

[rebeleleven.livejournal.com]

[pulls out a chair to sit on!] Why thank you, Your Highness. Oh? We're playing dice, I see. Sure, I'm up for any game of chance. But what are the stakes?

[oh-geass-no.livejournal.com]

Before we decide upon stakes, we should decide upon which specific game we shall indulge in... Hmm, are you familiar with any in particular?

[rebeleleven.livejournal.com]

... Definitely not chess, unless you're willing to teach me. There is always truth or dare, but I don't think it'll go too well. How about a card game?

[oh-geass-no.livejournal.com]

Heh... I would not want to play you in a game I would dominate, Kallen. There would be little enjoyment. Mmm... But you would prefer a card game over dice? I am afraid those are not so readily available.

Not at the front desk, at least.

[rebeleleven.livejournal.com]

You know what? I don't care; I'll play a nice dice game, anyway. I'm sure it'd be really enjoyable if I'm up against you of all people.

[oh-geass-no.livejournal.com]

In that case, how many games using dice do you know how to play?

[rebeleleven.livejournal.com]

I can think of a few, but one that sticks out in my mind is Dice 10,000 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dice_10000). Shut the Box (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shut_the_box) is another one I'm most familiar with.

Also, I know of one version that involves getting the highest score in ten turns; I don't know the name of it, though.

[oh-geass-no.livejournal.com]

Hmm... Let us go with the former option.

[rebeleleven.livejournal.com]

Really now? I was thinking of playing the latter choice. You start with one. As you keep rolling the dice, you add the numbers, giving you the sum. But as the game continues, you keep adding dice, which is essentially adding more to the stakes. One who has the highest number is the one who loses.

Though if you really want to play Dice 10,000, how about the 500 version? You know, in case one of us wants a rematch.

[oh-geass-no.livejournal.com]

*leaning on his hand* I am fine with whichever choice you prefer, Kallen. After all, you are the one who has decided to help keep me entertained.

[rebeleleven.livejournal.com]

Then I'll do my best to please you in any way possible, Lelouch-sama. [grabs two dice] You still haven't told me what's at stake. So, what is the actual punishment?

[oh-geass-no.livejournal.com]

You wish for a punishment for the loser?

... Mion is rubbing off on you, Kallen.
