Story transcript

JD: Wait, so if I call Riichi here, I lock in my hand?

Waterbreath: Now you're getting it, JD!

JD: Oh hey! Ron! I won!

Ichihime: He's a natural! I knew he'd love it!

Miki: Mmm~ another soul claimed by the tiles.

Waterbreath: Sweet, I got JD into Riichi! Lets get more WhatIf users & staff to join the Mahjong discord server!

Iwao Washizu: ...How quaint. Children playing at Mahjong.

Iwao Washizu: Tell me... do you wager anything of value? Or do you simply move tiles for amusement, like infants with building blocks?

Iwao Washizu: Kukukuku... How dull. A game without stakes is no game at all.

Iwao Washizu: Well then... sit. Play me. Unless the mere thought makes your hands tremble.

JD: Oh fuck, NOT HIM. I JUST read what this guy does. He draws BLOOD for points. ACTUAL BLOOD.

Waterbreath: Oh shit. I forgot the Akagi collab is back in Mahjong Soul. Fuck it. You only live once. I'll play.

JD: WATERBREATH, ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR GOD DAMN MIND?!

Shigeru Akagi: A game of Riichi needs four. You two will do.

Shigeru Akagi: Washizu. You came all this way to bully children? ...You still owe me from last time.

Shigeru Akagi: Sit down, old man. These two aren't the opponents. You are. They're just... here to keep the seats warm.

Ichihime: A-ahaha, we actually just remembered we have somewhere to be!

Miki: Best of luck, boys~

JD: ...We can't let them play against that guy.

Waterbreath: Yeah. We're doing this.

Shigeru Akagi: Mahjong is at its most thrilling when your life is on the line.

Iwao Washizu: Kuku... you reek of fear, boy.

Shigeru Akagi: Ignore him. Focus on your draws.

JD: Why is the air so heavy...

Waterbreath: Just... don't make eye contact with either of them.

Shigeru Akagi: Tsumo.

Iwao Washizu: ...Again, Akagi?!

JD: I have 200 points left.

Waterbreath: I have 100.
