And I'll Be With You When You Dream

[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!]

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.

[Roleplaying...? Oh!]

So it's like writing a story? [Fascinating.] And you can do this with other people?

Exactly like that, yes. It's all collaborative. One person is in charge of running the world, and the players control the protagonists.

[Okay. Okay she definitely wants to get in on this.]

So how exactly do you play? How do you make a character?

Well, you'll want to pick their name, player race, and class. Maybe make up some basic traits and then go from there.

[Names... names can wait. She'll focus on all that other stuff first.]

Race... like humans and elves and such?

[Maybe she should just... grab the book he's set out with everything else. That would prooobably be a big help.]

Hm... is there anything interesting you would suggest?

[personal profile] disharmonizes 2021-06-23 07:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, humans and elves are a little on the basic side of things. If you want interesting, there's the half angel people, the elementals... maybe one of the bird races.

Elementals?

[Oh, that... hm. That certainly pings her in a way the others don't.]

Are there... ice elementals? Could I do something like that?

I think they're water, usually, but...

[He's taking out some paper and writing a few notes down.]

Oh, I could probably change things around a little.

Perfect! [Elsa grabs one of the spare sheets of paper and a pencil from the supplies scattered around the table and jots it down.] Now, I have no idea what fighting with weapons is like, so perhaps I should be some sort or mage...? Though it might be nice to play something that's different from what I can normally do...

[Hmm... she runs her finger down the table of contents, at the list of different classes, and...]

... What's a "monk"

Oh, very spiritual, very... well, punchy. They're not casters, but they have a sort of magic they channel into physical combat.

[elsa do you want to punch ghosts]

They're very speedy and get to attack a lot, if that's your thing.
