QUIZ RECAP

When Jaquondea, Goddess Of Jacks, scooped up her last pearly (and by “her,” it’s meant it was indeed hers, as in owned by her, as she had indeed owned the entire match by that point), her vanquished opponent Larrondeus, God Of Dirt Games, mumbled: “Double or nothing?” “We’ve been played for two millennia,” answer Jaq (to her friends). And they had indeed been playing for two millennia: the marble match in question had started at one end of the galaxy and moved like a snail to the other, with the two gods bent to the dirt in a battle of spherical knockabout that rivaled the intensity of the previous millennium’s Universe Ball Match, a similar competition in which two teams of four gods each hurled planets at one another until all gods were destroyed. But that competition only took six hundred thousand years and no overtime. Jaq and Lar (to his friends) had not anticipated to still be playing. The crowd too had not foreseen the length of this scrimmage and deserted the stands after the first million years, leaving the two hurlers to themselves. “What do we do now?” asked Lar, “I feel like playing marbles with you…is the only thing I know.” “You hitting on me?” asked Jaq. “Certainly not,” said Law, “it’s just that…while I specialize in dirt games, I don’t even really consider marbles to be a dirt game.” “So you agreed to this bout because why?” “I had time to kill, but not this much time. My family, though comprised of all gods, have probably died of old age by now.” Lar’s idea of a dirt game was mud wrestling, and when he tried to bring that up Jaq thought he was hitting on her again and looked embarrassed, so Lar tried to console her with: “At least there aren’t people watching.” “I’m still extremely embarrassed.” And then the two gods, post-match, stood there eyeing each other for the rest of eternity. Here’s the point: Trivia night at the Glendale Tap tonight was exactly like this.
