‘[color=5a6a85]Not at all,[/color]’ Elysium let a faint smile appear on his face when a woman approached him and started conversing. Looking at the games that were laid out at the party, he gestured to the one that was a board with a hole in it and it had colored bags. ‘[color=5a6a85]That is cornhole,[/color]’ and he gestured to the other one. The one that was a ladder with balls on a string. ‘[color=5a6a85]And that is a ladderball game. Both of them have quite a few different names,[/color]’ he explained. He knew cornhole was called bean bag toss and tailgate toss. Ladderball had a few different names and the other names he knew it by was monkey ball or ladder golf. 

He shrugged his shoulders, ‘[color=5a6a85]They are easy to learn. We just need a few more people or we could just play against each other if you really want to play,[/color]’ Elysium didn’t mind either option. It would give him a moment to get to know more people. 

When she held out her hand, he reached out and shook it, but his grip was gentle as if he didn’t want to hurt her. ‘[color=5a6a85]I’m Elysium, it’s nice to meet you, Evelyn,[/color]’ and by the time he was taking his hand away, someone else was approaching. 

Glancing at the game, Evelyn, and back at the woman — Elysium smiled and nodded his head, “[color=5a6a85]You definitely can join. Evelyn and I were just talking about the games and they are pretty easy to play,[/color]’ he stated without issue. They were simple. Cornhole was all about keeping the bags on the board, lower on the board was one point, higher was two, and in the hole was three points. Ladderball was just as simple. Keep the balls on a string on the rungs of the latter — lowest was one, middle was two, and top was three points. The team that got to twenty-one first was the winner. 

Elysium held out his hand to Chariselle, ‘[color=5a6a85]It’s nice to meet you too. I’m Elysium by the way,[/color]’ he introduced himself in a similar way and tone with how he introduced himself only a minute before to Evelyn. The man was very casual with how he was. 

‘[color=5a6a85]So, you can play it with alcohol for sure, but you don’t have to. Those rules are always made up by the people playing. You have two teams of two. Each team has a person standing on both sides, so you can easily toss your team's color back and forth. If we play cornhole, a bag touching the ground at all doesn’t count as a point and if it falls off the board, you don’t gain that point either. Lower on the board is one point, higher on the board is two points, and in the hole is three points. With ladderball, if your balls get knocked off, you don’t gain that point, and they have to be resting on one of three rungs. The lowest rung is one point, the middle rung is two points, and the top rung is three points. The team that reaches or goes past twenty-one is the winner,[/color]’ Elysium gladly explained how to play the games to the girls. 

‘[color=5a6a85]So…,[/color]’ this was when he noticed Nelly going by and he waved back to her before putting his attention on both of the girls. ‘[color=5a6a85]So we just need one more person or you guys can team up against me if you want to.[/color]’ He didn’t mind being on his own team, if no one else wanted to join.
