Game Over

"RAWR!" Flashfire says as she jumps on you.

You topple over as Flashfire pulls your hand into the costume.

"Flashfire," you say, "the game is over. You don't need to eat my arm."

"I know," she says, the hood now at your elbow. "I just wanted to!"

You get up, with your arm still inside the costume, and walk back to the main room.

Everyone else is waiting when you, Robin, and Flashfire return.

"Saffire wins," Robin informs them.

"Helps that he sacrificed us," Blackfire says as she and Raven stand together with their arms crossed

"Sorry," you say as you pull your sister off your arm. "But it looked so funny to see her bring your legs inside the costume."

Blackfire helps Flashfire get out of the costume. Your sister's hair is all matted down and she looks a little sweaty.

"That costume doesn't breathe well," she says.

"No wonder it felt clammy in there," you mumble.

Beastboy looks at the clock.

"Wow, seven already," he says. "Time to eat!"

Starfire puts the costume away as Blackfire re-heats the meat and stew with her star-energy.

"Dinner is served!" she says, holding up the plate of sizzling meat slabs.

Everyone gathers around the table and scoop up what they want.

"So," Flashfire says, "where are we building the house again?"

You all remember the discussion had earlier during the first meal.

"I'm sure there're plenty of islands similar to it around the original one," Cyborg says. "We can just create a similar space on the island we choose."

"But what about the trees you have to clear out?" Raven brings up. "We can't just make them magically disappear."

"We can use them to make that walkway and sun deck!"

The conversation on how to make the home continues for some time as Cyborg makes a list of what will be needed and who to call to get them.

After everyone is done eating, Cyborg is busy on his built-in phone while everyone but Raven goes to watch television. She sits off to one side to read a book.

You're putting dishes away when Blackfire excuses herself.
