[ So Mary is seven. And while she's smart, she doesn't quite realize this network is private. Or that a message board is... a message board. Sorry network.]

Frank. Look what I made. Can I put it on the fridge?

It cuts wood

[realists]

I don't think he would mind sharing his name with something useful.

[computative]

My name is Mary which sounds like marry or merry.

[realists]

I'm Jyn.

Which I'm told sounds like a card game.

[computative]

I don't know a card game named jyn. All I know is go fish and Frank likes poker.

[realists]

That's two more card games than I know

[computative]

I also know War. That one is fun too.

I can teach you if you want.

[realists]

I think you should ask your Frank first, but I would love to learn.

[computative]

Frank does say I can't go off with strangers.

[realists]

That's a very smart rule.

[computative]

Frank is smart most of the time.

[realists]

Only most of the time?

[computative]

Sometimes he does dumb things. Like one time he stepped on my legos.

[realists]

What were you building?

[computative]

A castle.

[realists]

Very nice.

[computative]

Do you know what a castle is?

I should probably handle the poker.

[realists]

The famous Frank.

If I had any context for what poker is I would agree with you probably.

[adnauseam]

Gambling card game, usually you win by bluffing as much as the hand you're dealt, if you're doing it right.

You've really never heard of it?

[ He'd wondered if maybe she was just being cute for Mary's benefit. ]

[realists]

No, but now I agree that it's probably not for children if it promotes lying.

[ says the girl that fleeced a casino when she was twenty. she has experience. ]

I've heard of games like it, they just weren't called poker.

[adnauseam]

That sounds like it might be a little judgmental.

[ Which is more of an observation than anything. He won't take it to heart if it is. ]

What were they called?

[realists]

Sabacc, sakresh, pazaak. Liar's cut.

[ zero judgement. ]

[adnauseam]

[ Huh. ]

Haven't heard of any of those. Maybe you should be the one to teach me.

[realists]

Perhaps a trade. Poker for sabacc, go fish for math puzzles for Mary and I?
