[p2 0hffe] Jill Makes Her Choices And The Group Split For Downtime

Jill smirked at Barrys innocent remark as she looked at the selection of cards on the table, quickly agreeing with his assesment of things and picking the Magical and Child Bearing Hips combo.

''So do I draw more cards now, or...'' She trailed off, looking to Barry

Barry slid two cards Jill had decided against this turn away, adding them to the discard pile before shrugging ''Nah, I guess that's it for now, we agreed to take Downtime after Round 2 and from what I can telll, you just keep your remaining 2 and then draw when we get back''

Jill absentmindedly nodded in agreement, starting to add up the cards she had in hand and trying to remember exactly what score she had to add for the modifiers.''Barry, how many points do you need to win this game?'' She asked, prompting Barry to grab the little rule card and read it over again.

''Well, it says default score to win is 15 points, but they have to be spent on upgrading perks. Speaking of which, I think I'll use 6 of the 7 points I have to upgrade my License to Kill perk Twice, I mean, who would say no to being a superspy'' As he finished speaking, he heard Roxanne scoff at his comment shaking her head slightly

''Roxanne, do you want to spend any points right now?'' Jill asked

''Yeah, I think I'll puh... Pass on that one. I'm Busy'' Roxanne waved her phone in Jills direction, the young journalist caught a brief glimpse of a half written caption over an image of a cat before the device went back out of view

''Why play if you're not going to...'' Jill stopped herself, taking note of how Roxanne was intentionally ignoring her ''Right, well I... Wow, I think I have 12 points available to spend, and I still need to pick a magic type for my new card, so let's put 6 points to upgrade Magical twice and say I get Zatanna style magic''

Roxanne guffawed at her ''How can you guys take yo...*hic* your little games so seriously, besides, you should upgrade Big Tits, at least then your little cult following would make sense''

Without fully realizing it, Jill had pulled her jacket closed at the front as she sat up in her chair, biting back the urge to shout at the drunk woman in front of her

''Jill, what was it you said you did for work?'' Barry asked, distracting her from the building anger toward Roxanne

''I write for...

''She writes about nerd stuff and talks dirty to them about how to get the best killstreak on their w-walkthrough'' Roxanne slurred, clearly just stringing together words she had heard once or twice

Jill cleared her throat a bit more aggresively than she had earlier, ''I mostly write about upcoming game releases and occasionaly get to cover real life events, like this one...''

''Tell him about the bimbo and the zombies!'' Roxanne cut in again

Jill looked at her in confusion for a moment before realizing what she was referring to ''Really, that's what this is about?'' She asked in an incredulous tone.

Roxanne simply crossed her arms and huffed, looking away from her. At the corner of her vision, Jill could see Barry timidly raise his hand as if to ask a question

Sighing, Jill started to explain ''About four years ago, before I got the job I have now, my last publisher got an early copy of Zombie Dungeon 4 and I got to review it. So, I put up a video walkthrough, just explaining how to get through the game...''

''While playing as some blonde bimbo and giggling like one too'' Roxanne cut in yet again, sounding like she was ready to start ranting again

''I was nervous!'' Jill retorted

Roxanne just hand waved her away and went back to sulking

Jill was leaning forwards onto the table, looking for words to start yelling at the drunk when Barry abruptly stood up and snapped the lid down one the card deck. The little box making an unnaturally loud and booming sound as it shut

''Right, well. Seems like everyone is a bit tired, so how about we swap phone numbers and then meet up here tomorrow?'' He said, looking between Jill and Roxanne

''Whatever, if you need to talk to me soo bad, Julianna here can get in touch'' The drunken Wonder Woman said, standing up from the table

Seeing her unstable footing, Barry reached forwards to offer her an arm to lean on ''Maybe I should go with you?'' he asked

Roxanne quickly pulled her hand away from him ''Yeah, no. What you should do is go to a party, have some fun, maybe both of you should'' She said, starting to stumble away from the table and out into the convention hall

Barry looked back at Jill, who was now looking at her phone and shaking her head ''You okay?'' He asked

''Well, that b...'' Jill caught herself, she had almost started to shout her frustrations at Barry, before deciding to just turn her phone and show him the screen

Apparently Roxanne had snapped picture of her while she had her phone out, the resulting image not wearing a very flattering facial expression, made worse by the fact that Roxanne had doodled a mustache over her face

''Ah, well, I mean she is drunk'' Barry said, trying to ease over the tensions between the two

''She DM'ed it to me on every single social media account I have'' She sighed, letting her shoulders slump ''Here give me your phone, I'll forward her details to you''

Barry handed her his phone, contacts screen already open, silently watching as Jill copied the relevant details and then forwarded everything on to him

''So, what are your plans then?'' She asked, handing back his phone

''Well, I need to go grab a bite to eat, then probably head back to my hotel: What about you?

Jill picked up her notebok and waved it for emphasis ''Duty calls'' She said, stepping out of the booth

Barry chuckled slightly ''Right, see you back here tomorrow then?'' He said, leaning one hand on the edge of the table as he stood in the entranceway

Jill nodded in approval ''Definitely, see you tomorrow'' She gave him a wave as she started to walk away.
