Vincent chuckled again, and shook his head. "Nope... so do I, my love." he said simply, kissing the side of her head. He was surprised when she suddenly stopped him from kissing her neck, but smiled as their lips locked. Aww.. but I love your reactions. he thought back, teasingly.

Vincent smiled into the kiss, deepening it more as the fireworks finally started. He knew soon it would be his turn, so he would have to pull away from the kiss to roll, so he would enjoy it while he could. Once the last firework went off, Vincent trailed his tongue along Allie's lips ever so lightly before pulling away and smiling. He rolled, but only got a 2. He frowned, then shrugged, watching as no card popped up again.

Vincent waited. And waited. Then he waited some more before looking at Allie, shrugging. No card had come for her either. "My luck's rubbing off on you." he said teasingly before rolling. This time, he got a three, which left him still a few spaces behind Allie, who was pretty close to the finish line already. A card popped up, but it was blank. Confused, Vincent looked at it closely, checked the back, then looked at Allie. "It's... blank.."

(nice new avi :3 , I'm still waiting for a reply >/)

Derien ran the entire way to Victoria's house, ignoring the strange looks he was getting. He got to her door, and knocked loud enough to be heard, but to not seem aggressive. As he waited for Victoria to remove the panels, he thought of what he should say. "Brought the blood!" seemed a little too goofy and platonic and "Are you okay?" was much too overprotective.

((rargh! Sorry we're so behind xxxarcxangelxxx! T^T I've been hella busy. How about we do a timeskip to catch up with everybody else once this day is over.))

(Back from vacation! Sorry for having to leave again. ^^;;
@briannamal; it's alright. ^^ i pushed us back a bit too due to vacationing. Time skip sounds good if you want to do that.)

Vincent smiled, then shrugged and set the blank card to the side. Nothing like that had ever happened before.. but he blamed how old the game was. It was literally ancient, and it surprised him that the hand-painted board was still intact. When Allie rolled he watched, picking up the die that had fallen onto the floor before reading her card. "Flexibility is key.."

Victoria nearly jumped at the sound of knocking coming from her door. She already knew who it would be, so she wasted no time in running to answer it. But not before running a hand through her somewhat messy hair in an attempt to make it look presentable. She then opened the door, smiling. "Hey.. come on in."

Vincent smiled shortly after reading the card, looking to the far side of the room. As if on cue, two trapeze swings appeared hanging from the ceiling, acrobats entering the room shortly after. The two acrobats took turns swinging from one pedestal to another, each doing flips and stopping to do smaller stunts in between.

Vincent watched the act with mild interest. It wasn't his favorite thing, but he did enjoy watching the acrobats' performance. He smiled at the end, also clapping a little before wrapping an arm snug around Allie. The performers left without much ado, and Vincent rolled. He got a 3. After watching his piece move, he waited. It took a few moments before a card popped up, which he then read. "Helmets are necessary."

Vincent let out a sigh of relief as he realized it wouldn't be them, but performers again as he heard a canon fire. But only then did he realize that a canon had fired in his living room. A performer shot through the air, doing a few trick as he headed up. Vincent ran to a window, opening it for them as they went by so there would be no damage to his apartment. He then went back over to Allie, kissing the side of her face before handing her the dice.

Vincent watched her roll shrugging as she got a two. He took the card, looked over both sides of it, then sighed. "Blank." He was about to grab the dice when he stopped and smiled at her. "You got snake eyes... you get another turn." She was only one away from the finish line, so it was obvious that she was going to win. At least to him it was.

Vincent scooted back a bit as she held the dice near him, pointing to the side of the game board with the rules on it. Most of them were kind of 'duh' rules, but there was one specific one. "Snake eyes- roll again. Let's not make the game mad, alright, love?" he asked, with a sweet smile. He wanted her to win, but he also wanted himself to win.. either way, he didn't want to break the game's rules. He knew things might not end pretty if they did.

Vincent frowned a bit. "I'm not sure... but let's not try. I don't think it would be a good idea." He then scooted back next to her, wrapped an arm around her and kissed the top of her head before gesturing to the dice. "It's your turn still."

Vincent smiled as her piece reached the ending box, a huge booming noise coming from the large window behind them. Knowing what it was, Vincent turned and quickly opened the curtain to reveal fireworks going off outside. He then sat again, hooking an arm back around Allie and kissing her cheek. "Good game."

Instead of saying anything, Derien pulled Victoria into a hug. He held her there for a long moment, just enjoying the feel of her. Then, into her hair he muttered "I missed you."
