And I'll Be With You When You Dream

[violentenvies]

[It's Sunday night! Boy, today sure has been a day, hasn't it?? Memories returned, Father's Day Gifts given, and Benjamin sure had a Time, didn't he?

Looks like it's time to find ways to cope.

Thus, the bed frames from Broadhurst dorm are being worked on being taken apart by Varian while the mattresses are becoming The New Floor.

Additionally, there's plenty to eat and drink, what with the hot pot provided by Rina, cookies that might just taste a bit burnt from Farrah, apples from Orpheus, more delicious potatoes from Maya, as well as sandwiches by Cassandra. There is also quite the variety of pie, from caramel, to bittersweet chocolate and strawberries, and several other varieties from the vending machine. Finally, there's popcorn brought in by Spongebob. If someone wants a drink, there is some delicious hot cocoa, provided by Elsa, as well as the tea brought in by Discord. There's also a variety of drinks from the vending machines.

Everyone's invited of course. There are a variety of games happening, and there's even a TV that's been wheeled down from the Library. So bring your pajamas, whatever they happen to be, and settle in for a sleepover!]

[Speaking of games!

So with a little work, Discord has acquired a few things. He's laying some of it out now, just, out on the floor where there's a gap between mattresses. There's a book with a red cover propped up, graph paper and some hastily put together sheets strewn about, some pencils, and even dice.

Yes, this is happening.]

Now then, who's up for a game?

[So, yes, come over here if you want some tabletop at your sleepover, friends.

Discord's also going to be making tea through all of this, because this is just... this is just what he does, now, he's accepted this. He's in too deep, okay.]

[employeeoftheyear]

[Spongebob practically warps next to Discord as he announces the game.]

I wanna play! I wanna be an elven bard!

[disharmonizes]

[Oh, bless, this is off to a great start.]

An excellent choice. Have you played before?

[mcfife]

...I would like to join.

[Angus isn't excited, but he's trying to get involved.]

[disharmonizes]

[...boy, yeah.]

And bringing in so much energy, too. Really bringing the roof down here.

[alchemistake]

[...Varian can't put his finger on why, but even with the somewhat weird mood he's been in since this morning, he's.

Drawn to this. Maybe it's the nerd in him, but he'll come have a seat once he's gotten the beds fully broken down for everyone.]

What game is this?

[disharmonizes]

Ogres & Oubliettes, or, well, some version of it.

[We only get off brand D&D in here okay but also who cares.]

It's a fantasy roleplaying game where you can do just about anything, so long as the dice are in your favor.

[violentenvies]

[hm??? Salieri leans over Discord's shoulder a bit, arching an eyebrow] And what manner of game is this, exactly?

[disharmonizes]

Only the best in the multiverse, Maestro! Well, one iteration of it, at least, it tends to pop up in different forms.

But it might be a little intense for you...

[brokeforgood]

[No amount of persuading going to get Farrah to join in on a game that involves MATH. But at other some point in the night, she’ll flop down on the floor next to Discord, and bump her shoulder against his.]

Thank you, for today.

[disharmonizes]

Not a problem. You did pick exactly the right person for the job.

[He kept Salieri so, so busy, rip in fuck.]

Things went well, then, I assume.

[Squints.... This is quite the set up.]

What kind of game are we talking about?

[disharmonizes]

A roleplaying one. [He's just sort of opening the book up and showing it, at the page with classes.] Now you... you strike me as the fighter type, perhaps? Unless you'd rather shake things up and play something more out of your comfort zone.

[defyingfrigidity]

[Games are fun! Elsa's not very good at them, but she loves the weekly game nights back in Arendelle. So she's drawn over as Discord calls out, and her head tilts to the side as she picks up one of the dice - a d20 to be exact - off the table.]

Is this some sort of... gambling game?

[... Elsa knows jack shit about gambling but she knows "throwing dice" is a term people use for a type of gambling so. She's just kind of assuming????]

[disharmonizes]

Not usually. Unless you're more into that sort of game, then I suppose you could add some more stakes.

[He'll spin a d4 through the air a moment, just for fun.]

It's more a roleplaying game. You make a character, guide them through a scenario, and use these dice to see if you succeed.

[fourbutts]

Oh hell yeah, nerd shit! I'm in!

[ That is absolutely genuine. ]

[disharmonizes]

Oh, a very enthusiastic volunteer, perfect! So you're familiar, hm?

[whatyouwant]

Oh, that looks like fun! Sure!

[Games are fun, Elle's played Monopoly and stuff before. This can't be much different, right?]

[disharmonizes]

Oh, perfect! I have the rules right here.

[Plops down that guidebook, which is a little... bigger... than the little instructions you get with those board games.]

[samefacesyndrome]

A game?

[ She is here for games. ]

[disharmonizes]

A game.

[He's so delighted, yes, please join him.]

Are you into roleplaying games, by any chance?

[mayavericks]

[Well if Janis is here, Maya is going to try too. She has... no idea what she's doing?]

What... is this, anyway?

[disharmonizes]

...You're not really the tabletop game type, are you? No, I suppose not.

[He idly spins a few dice through the air.]

In my dimension it's known as Ogres & Oubliettes, though it seems to go by different names in different places. It's a fantasy roleplaying sort of experience.

There's plenty of classes that use swords.

[sugarlumps]

Is this an actual game or some creepy prank.

[s u s]

[disharmonizes]

Oh, the dice are definitely rigged to explode in your face specifically.
