GoM playing scrabbleš¼š¤Ø
little sketch for day 1 of knb week: board games! I accidentally drew babymura
they play scrabble in duos bcs this friendgroup is the best at teamworkš
MIDORIMA & AKASHI ā they place words like āoxidizedā or āwhizbangā, are around 50 points ahead of other teams, itās a renaissance of their friendship. midorima is also counting everyoneās points and joting them in his little notebook.
AOMINE & MURASAKIBARA ā they place words like ādogā or ānopeā, aomine is very very engaged but also very very dyslexic, murasakibara doesnāt help him at all. at some point aomine just starts adding letters at the end of already placed words, heās kind of losing it.
KUROKO & KISE ā 2nd on the podium, they place nicely sounding words like āfaerieā or āmelodyā, they seem pretty chill compared to akashi, midorima and aomine, like theyāre just having fun coming up with new pretty words. kuroko, though, actually wants to win badly and has some secret strategies that kise isnāt aware of. his favourite move is placing low scoring words on the spots with multipliers just to block akashi and midorima.Ā
MOMOI & KAGAMI ā they only have a few more points than aomine and murasakibara, but because aomineās making a fuss, they fly under the radar and are happy to be 3rd best. before that event they havenāt had many chances to talk so now theyāre mostly bonding [this is my kagamomo agenda]
*itās obvious that midorima wonāt cheat (heās too autistic for that) but kuroko is counting points on his own anyway. maybe midorima made a slip and him and kise should get more points????? (no, midorima never slips up in addition)
*actually murasakibara pays attention to the game, but doesnāt want to interfere with ā what he considers ā aomineās strategy. he doesnāt really get the concept of cooperation in board games (i hc him as an only child who havenāt played any games with his parents except maybe for pick-up sticks. i believe he knows the rules of bridge just from watching his parents play with their rich friends) so heād rather let aomine control the game, even though he easily comes up with high scoring words in his head (this team has the worst communication skills ever)
*thereās a running joke that kagami canāt read (he probably started it⦠okay maybe it was aomine), but halfway through the game he gets anxious that the rest of the crew will think of him as stupid (i like to think that kagami is generally anxious when it comes to blending in with GoM, like he doesnāt really belong with them outside the field; a sentiment he could share with momoi btw;)). SO now heās making subtle efforts to casually prove that he in fact does not have a problem with reading. unfortunately momoi catches that and she joins him in his subtle efforts, which makes them no longer subtle (ākagami WOULD YOU READ THAT FOR ME please?:3ā). (murasakibara and kurokoās mom who once came in with snacks are now both suspecting that kagami is really struggling with reading)
