[align=center][div style="width: 350px; text-align: justify; font-family: helvetica; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 1.4;"]growing up, on every saturday emery would go over to her grandparents' house with eileen. their cousins would all come over and it would be a time they would all just shut off their electronics and play some board games and ate the snacks their papa made for them. she had enjoyed those nights and always looked forward to them, but then again, she always looked forward to anything that got her out of the house. eventually, those saturday family nights started to happen less and less frequently as they all grew up. emery, being the youngest, was the last one who would show up to them, but without the seven other family members it had just been her playing card games with her nana and papa instead.
earlier in the day she had spent a fair amount of time looking for a game, she had found a few and looked over them, ultimately deciding on 'life'. she hadn't played that one since she was a kid and more specifically, before all the shit happened to the world. she wasn't too sure on how it would all go, considering there were quite a few options throughout it that no one had access to anymore, including actual jobs and the ability to go to college. she hoped people wouldn't get too bothered with the idea, hopeful that it would all play out smoothly.
emery had left the game in the living room on the coffee table as she went to dinner with everyone else. after she helped cleaned up, she finally looked around before speaking up. "what do you all reckon? up for a game of 'life'?" she asked, a small and hopeful smile on her face.
