In case you can't read that, Simon's shirt says "Veni Ad Me Frat", which is Latin for "Come At Me, Bro".

And now I'm probably going to get a half dozen people in the forum trying to correct my Latin grammar for me, and I bet you no two of them are going to agree.

0272-------------------------------------

(Thursday afternoon, INT: WW and SW's apartment)

JH (coming in, boardgame in hand): Hey, guys.
SW: That was fast.
JH: Yeah, it's a short walk. I brought Flipmode.
--------------
WW: Flipmode, huh?
JH: Yeah, it's a traditional-looking chess-like boardgame, but it's got a twist to it that I think makes it nifty.
WW: Well, hey, run us through a game, let's see how it goes.
--------------
JH: Okay, which of you wants to play me?
WW: How about Simon and I play and you instruct? That way, we can see if your instructions could be misinterpreted by someone who hasn't played this game - or any game - before.
--------------
JH: Okay, then. Step one, open box, place gameboard on flat, stable surface.
SW: Whoa, there, tiger. Does the flat surface have to be horizontal? And which of these things is the "board", anyway?
WW: We're going to be here a while, aren't we?
