[dollpocalypse]

Okay. The world was maybe almost over. Topher was more than a little freaked.

So out came the dice and the cape, and after making a quick annoucement, he set up at a toadstool with some character sheets for some pre-apocalyptic Dungeons and Dragons.

Kid had priorities.

[[OCD is up! Yep, idea stolen from Buffy 7x22, "Chosen." Anyone can play, and if you want to ICly be talked into it, lemme know and I'll have Topher get naggy. I have an AIM chat for this if you wanna pop in -- rpwithinanrpyegods. Have fun!

OH, and a million thanks to glacial_witch, brat_intraining, harpy_daughter and most especially not_a_parakeet for humoring me and teaching me how this works. YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST AND I LOVE YOU.]]

Hear the Announcement/Come Over/Sit Down

[dollpocalypse]

Yes. He's wearing a cape.

"Why are you wearing a cape?" Deadpool asked, heedless of the OCD note being unfinished. He was a rebel! A REBEL! "Don't you know caps are only for people with titles. Like Doctor Strange. Or Doctor Doom."

"Dear lord. He's wearing a cape."

Yes. This was probably going to be the sticking point for the day. Unless you could fly or constantly referred to yourself in the third person, capes were generally a fashion faux-pas.

Re: Hear the Announcement/Come Over/Sit Down

[whenshewasnice]

"... Are you actually wearing a cape?"

Yes, Topher. It was something that warranted a third person asking you this.

"Seriously?" Jack asked. "At a time like this?"

"What in the world is this?" Tyrion wondered in a puzzled tone. "Don't tell me we're playing a game."

He was sitting down as he spoke. He liked games. They passed the time.

More than anything, Kitty was just curious. Moreso when she saw the guy in charge.

"Nice cape," said the superhero.

[selfhelphero]

"You don't think the cape is a bit much?" His had a function, at least. And matched his costume, but that was important too, darn it.

"You look like an idiot."

Saving Topher hadn't brought Karla any closer to liking him.

"Oh, and you're in a cape."

She thought she was funny.

Squall wandered over with his gunblade, and then glared at Topher. "Oh. Not real dragons."

Re: Hear the Announcement/Come Over/Sit Down

[angelo_wings]

Rinoa felt tired, and raw. The morning had been ... she didn't want to think about it. If Angelo hadn't been there ...

Okay, that was thinking about it, which she had just declared off-limits.

She wandered over out of curiosity, more than anything.

"I don't ... understand," she said, haltingly. "Where are the dragons?"

Kenzi had brought the Mountain Dew.

You're welcome, Topher.

Grab a Character Sheet

[dollpocalypse]

Topher was thoughtful enough to have these premade; ICly you can grab one of his, and OOCly you can design your own.

Re: Grab a Character Sheet

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

"Awww, I got stuck with a bard? How is that fair?"

Sulk more, Deadpool. That was the way to win.

And Jan got... "A fighter? Oh, c'mon!"

Re: Grab a Character Sheet

[furnaceface]

"A half-orc barbarian," Jono intoned, furrowing his eyebrows a little. "Named... Thorgabella?"

Why the hell did he agree to this, again?

"Three intelligence!?"

Re: Grab a Character Sheet

[halfman-lion.livejournal.com]

Tyrion looked over a few character sheets before deciding he'd make his own.

Ser Malkym Timfreys -- a rogue, but one (chaotically) on the side of good -- came out healthy and strong, if a bit shorted in the areas of intelligence and dexterity.

"There's a god of dwarves in this game," he observed as he filled the sheet out.

Re: Grab a Character Sheet

[whenshewasnice]

"Istroi Ak," Natalie read aloud (though mostly to hersefl) once she'd picked a sheet from the pile. "Elf druid, chaotic neutral. Okay."

Why was she doing this?

Re: Grab a Character Sheet

"Binky the Gnome Illusionist?" Jack questioned/protested. "Oh come on!"

Re: Grab a Character Sheet

[whateverknight.livejournal.com]

"Noi Imyb, a Rogue Halfling? What does that even mean?"

Re: Grab a Character Sheet

[selfhelphero]

Billy grabbed a sheet at random and looked at it, putting it back as soon as he saw the word "cleric". He mixed the sheets up and grabbed another one...and it was the same one. So, Osteat the neutral good cleric he was.

Re: Grab a Character Sheet

[glacial_queen]

"What's a paladin?" Karla asked, picking her own sheet. "Oooh, I get a horse!"

Oh, Karla. Lawful stupid for you.

"I am Aethelreda Northclyf, valiant paladin of the Order of the Golden Goddess."

Play

[dollpocalypse]

Subthreads on the way omg. Sloooowly.

Tavern: Get Your Mission

[dollpocalypse]

You're in a tavern when a sketchy-looking wizard tells you of an evil gnome king who's trapping people in hell. If you can bring him the gnome king's head, you get a reward.

...Topher writes what he knows, okay.

Feel free to react as your character and your character's character, either responding to the old wizard guy or to the other people in the tavern.

After the Game

[dollpocalypse]

Now, don't you feel better? No?

Yeah, well, he tried.

Talk to Topher

[dollpocalypse]

He's here! And wearing a cape!

OOC

[dollpocalypse]

OKAY. THERE. I'VE OUTNERDED MYSELF.

Here, have the world's weirdest icon.

Re: OOC

[exactlyaverage.livejournal.com]

Can Jack be a wizard? He needs to play against type. Ooo. Even better! An illusionist! If they still have that in D&D
